Loved your comment on the LPM blog and jumped over, glad I did! Yep, the sneak up on you switch from baby to toddler is a lot to take in, but just put her in footy pajamas and when she's sleeping, lol, all is right with the world again. Plus there's so much more to DO now. :)

Blessings,

I find that I enjoy each stage more than the last stage! And when I'm in a current stage, I swear it's the best stage yet (tantrums and toddlerism included).

I remember with Grace it seemed like the first year took FOREVER!! We were constantly waiting for her to achieve the next milestone, to do the next thing…etc. But with Ruby it all seems to be going soooo fast! Once Grace started talking, we were laughing every day. She is a VERY verbal child, which has it's moments, like today, when she shouted to Ruby "I HAVE HAD JUST ABOUT ENOUGH OF YOUR SCREAMING!" But hearing her say "I love you, Mommy" 37 times a day is ALWAYS awesome! Ruby is also very verbal, but in a very different, ear splitting, screeching, yelling, headache inducing sort of way. I am very much looking forward to hearing her say some words, and getting past the teething stage-DEFINATELY NOT MY FAVORITE!

Great post! I love the picture at the beginning and then following up with her pics!!! AWWWW she is soo precious.

Every stage has its rewards and challenges and I think it just depends what stage y'all are currently in as to what you think.

And mid 90-s is hot? really? LOL ;-) It was a heat index of 105 or 107 today ;-) Yep, and that's WET heat ;-) woo. pardon me while i pass out.

I have such good memories of when my son was in his elementary years, especially around age 7 and 8. He was becoming more and more independent, but still loving and cuddly.

Love the shades pictures! (and the outfit she's wearing in them is really cute too, even though I know that's not really the point — but hey, it could be! Cherish this time when she can wear such cute little clothes and you are able to make sure they match!;)

I haven't had that much experience with kids, but I think my favorite ages are probably just over a year and the preschool years. I do think that it's more accurate to say the "terrible threes" than the "terrible twos," but like I said — very little experience here. :) And in therapy, preschoolers are easier to "trick" into doing work by using games/reinforcement — those older kids are just too smart! ;) But you can also have intelligent conversations with the older kids, which is really nice. So I guess it's a toss-up. :) If I were a parent, I would definitely not be looking forward to the teenage years though… (poor teens — they sure get a bad rep, don't they?)

Hi, I found you via Meredith @ Merchant Ships. Your post is so sweet and so true.

I have an only child who is 10, and sometimes I say he is more difficult now than when he was an infant, all because he's so verbal. Not in a bad way. He is learning so rapidly and has questions about everything and sometimes I have to tell him "No more questions. I have no more answers!"

He's also getting more independent and it's hard sometimes for my husband and I to judge where we should maintain strictness and where we can allow more leniency.

Anyway! He's a great kid and I am enjoying each stage of his life. I love finding out WHO he is!

Your daughter is adorable and I think she will surprise you one day soon by just taking off!

Have you read the posts I sent to you?
I really do think every stage is the hardest, because it's the one you're living. But, truly, the difficult moments make the sweet moments even sweeter!
In the same way, I can't say I have a favorite stage. They're all my favorite so far, because they all have wonderful aspects. (If not terrifying ones, too. LOL)
