A LOT has happened in the last two years⦠For the last few months whenever I wake her up, I say, âWow, did you grow last night?â To which she responds with her precious gap-toothed grin, âYESSSS!â Sheâs excited, but dang, itâs bittersweet. My baby is turning two in just a few days. Let me tell you, motherhood is a straight up TRIP. (If youâre a parent, youâre already nodding your head). Because part of me feels like she was born yesterday, and the other part feels like Iâve never, ever lived without her. I donât know if itâs just the fact that I am now divided between my kids OR that this child is still breastfeeding (Iâm laughing at the âmeâ who said that since sheâs my last baby, Iâll go as long as she wants. All signs point to me still breastfeeding her until sheâs like four years old, OMG) but I feel like I am just coming out of the fog of postpartum⦠Which also makes my ADHD brain ask: arenât we just, like, permanently postpartum for the rest of our lives? I think thatâs a âyesâ but Iâm refusing to Google it at this moment or Iâll totally get sidetracked. These early years are a lot. (Understatement of a lifetime.) Theyâre busy, ever changing, and so sacred. I feel like my life slowed down and sped up when Quinn entered it. This sweet little girl who has a vocabulary that blows me away⦠The little sister who at most times listens better to her big sister, Coco, than to us⦠An adventurous, meandering sprout of a girl, who wants to do all of the things⦠But do them quietly, like sheâs doing them just for herself. A wise old soul who acts as though sheâs been here before with her wisdom. The missing puzzle piece who completed our little family. These last two years have been a straight up beautiful blur â one that I know I will miss, and one that I am clinging to with every fiber. One that I am challenging myself to just be IN. Children are such amazing teachers. I recently read a quote that said, âYour first child is raised with you and your second child is raised by youâ and I canât get that out of my head. Sheâs shown me that there are no âabsolutesâ in parenting and challenged me to see her soul as her own: individual, free, peaceful. Sheâs the embodiment of simple and the purest form of joy from the moment she wakes up to when we put her down. She has challenged me to try and change the world to be a place where that pure peace can exist for each of us and all of us⦠She is sunshine bottled in a tiny little human. And while I no longer share photos of my sweet girlsâ faces online⦠Just imagine the sweetest gappy grin and the purest brown eyes with the shaggiest of baby hairs bleached by the sun. Happy birthday, my sweet Quinn Louise, and happy BIRTH day to me⦠Love, Mama [Unsubscribe]( Jenna Kutcher 440 N Barranca Ave #4227 Covina, California 91723 United States
