21 Months!
Neely turned 21 months yesterday which means she's dangerously close to being 2!! I can't believe how fast this is going!

17 Months

August has been such a whirlwind I can't believe it has already been a month since I last posted her monthly photo!
The chalk picture represents my life perfectly.
I go throughout my day straightening and cleaning and trying to keep a semblance of order in our house and Neely trails behind making messes. Not "messing things up", but making them better.
How are messes better, you ask?
I'd much rather have a messy home filled with Neely than a spotless home without her.
We are absolutely head over heels for our Neely Bear.

16 Months

Motherhood is a tender thing.
From the moment you know you're pregnant your life is a whirlwind.
You experience nervousness, anxiety, excitement, happiness, frustration and joy.
Oh, the absolute joy. It makes me weak.
B and I have been dealing with some Big Things and then we look in awe at this miracle, this beautiful wonder. She's not just a ray, she is the entire sun.
And when you are playing with her, bathing her, feeding her, loving on her, you forget, for those sweet moments, that you have any problems at all.
And I think perhaps that is why God made children to be so wonderful. So innocent and pure.
So we can spend our time marveling at their greatness instead of wallowing in our stress.
My child (my child!) has been on this earth for sixteen months today and I am pretty sure I have only been alive that long too.
