So it is all going very quickly. Jackson is a half of a year old today! That blows my mind. He has eaten peas, carrots, squash, sweet potatoes, green beans, avocado, banana pudding (Thanks Mamaw), and Chicken gravy (Everyone got some for its curative properties). He has begun to entertain the thought of sleeping through the night... Just entertaining it though... some nights aren't so great.. But we are surviving. That's what parents do. Right?!
I don't really know about his growth (Just made his sixth month appointment today) except that he is BIG! Not too big, still wearing some 3-6, 6 mo. and 9 mo. but he is so long.
He is now rolling over, he has grown his first tooth! I mean these kids just grow so fast.
I write all of this and wonder: who cares what my baby is up to? And then I realize, I DO, I want to remember it. And then it is all worth it. That and there are so many mothers out there in the world.. I feel like it is a lonely positions sometimes. Feeling like no one really understands your daily struggles. But the truth is that a great majority really understand it all... From different perspectives of course. but that is what makes it all so interesting.
I had some drinks with some friends this evening. One I see quite often and one that I wish I saw more... It was so good. To talk, to listen, to just be girls. Not necessarily mothers, or students ( although our children and school were topics of conversations) but dirty, rotten girls. I saw today that they are both far more important to me than I realized. It was enlightening.
And from that I realize that we are all just walking around with these multiple identities, or personalities if you will. We are more than you see with the naked, untrained eye. We are all moving through on this mission of life, Discovering more each day. And we grow. We are better for that growth, I believe.
