on the move

When I first started blogging again my biggest roadblock for writing posts was the fact that I would forget so many of the things that I wanted to blog about. Pregnancy brain hit me and it hit me hard. It carried over to Mommy brain. I have noticed it getting better as the months have gone by though. I'm noticing that I'm forgetting less and remembering more. With that being said, I should be overflowing with blogging ideas. 

Clearly based solely upon the frequency of my posts it's safe to say that something else has gotten into my way now. 

And that something is the cutest little almost 10 month old baby you'll find. 

Vera is crawling around and pulling up on everything and putting everything she can find into her mouth. Needless to say, when she is up, there is no leaving her in a room alone. I used to be able to surround her with a few toys and books and go into the kitchen and put some dishes away or clean something up. Gone are those days. She is on the move and nothing is stopping her. 

And it's fabulous. 

She has turned into such a little person. She hands me books when she wants to read. She turns all the pages for us. We have conversations. We play games. She catches onto things like wildfire. We get to go on walks. She loves to swing. She's just so cute and so much fun. 

There are so many times during a day when something will happen and I think that I should write a blog post about it. But then when she goes down for a nap I find myself doing all the things I wasn't able to do when she was awake -- put dishes away, clean up things from lunch, put toys away, relax, go to the bathroom. And then before I know it, she's awake and my blogging window for the day has closed. 

I'd like to get better at blogging, but I make no promises ;)
