Keenan said something to me the other day that has been echoing in my mind: "She (Catalina) is not going to be like this for long." As in, Catalina is growing very quickly and she is not going to be a baby much longer. At 7-months-old she already has two teeth and is crawling backwards. Gone are the days of toothless grins and gone are the days of total dependence on Daddy and Mommy for mobility. It is only a matter of time before the adorable coos transform to words and the Rolly Polly rolls progress to steps. For a while there, I was going about my days in complete frustration at the laundry pile ups, constant dishes, diarrhea disasters, toddler tantrums, incessant crying and screeching screams that all of these things drowned my enjoyment in this very brief time with Catalina as an infant. She will always be my baby girl, but the natural process is for her to grow out of infancy into toddlerhood, pre-adolescence, adolescence, etc.. So I had better get over the other stuff and just enjoy this time with my precious, adoring, completely lovable Catalina. Keenan is right, she is not going to be like this for long. So Mommy is going to relax, let the daily chores come and go, and cherish these days with my baby.
