Maggiesville

This sweater made an earlier appearance on the blog but now it's actually fitting her! It was handmade by Jen's mother, Virginia, and we think it's so adorable.

It's incredible to watch her grow. You always hear people say that but I didn't quite realize the rate that it would happen. It seems like every day is completely new, finding that clothes aren't fitting and seeing new developments in our interactions. After taking these photos, today, we spent a good thirty minutes "talking" to each other. There's suddenly a surprising range in her voice and it's so much fun to repeat back to her the high and low squeals that she's creating.

A lot of people seem to suggest that watching their children grow so quickly is disheartening, but I think it's just the opposite. I'm far too impatient to wait for anything and it seems like every change is just bringing us more joy.
