4 months

Acorn will be 4 months old tomorrow, and it is both crazy to me to think she is that old, and also not crazy because my life is so centered around her(mostly in a good way) nowadays. Thinking of the time reminds me of my relationship with Mr. S. We used to say, "Can you believe it has been X- years?" but then we couldn't imagine life without one another. (It will be 10 yrs this August, by the way)... That is how I feel about Acorn. At this time last year we were newly pregnant and very nervous. Wow.
Acorn coos and talks up a storm while in happy activity, and is quite a charmer.
Our newest challenge is super short naps(20-30 minutes on average) which make her grumpy, that, and she is very distracted while eating. If I talk, or if she hears others talking she wants to turn around and see what is going on. That makes being out a bit harder. I have perfected the car-nurse. She has this way of looking at me, post-feed and grinning adorably that makes me hope it is awhile until her teeth come in!
Nonetheless, we have been active, on weekdays especially. Between me working part-time, baby yoga, bre.astfeeding group and errands, we are often out for 4-6(or more) hours a day.

Spring bulbs are peeking their greenery up through the earth and I can't wait to have warm air to walk around in, and to share with Acorn.
