spring garden is coming in and i'm weirdly invested in watching things grow. weird parenting side effect: i now care about seasons and plants.

my necklace is somehow in the baby's mouth again. this child has a vendetta against anything shiny. how are they so fast???

the daycare group chat is wild today. apparently all the kids are going feral in the nice weather. solidarity to the teachers out there. 💪

someone recommended a new audiobook and i'm already halfway through. my commute is basically my only alone time these days so i'm INVESTED.

spring allergies + sleep deprivation = me as a walking disaster right now. my eyes are itchy, my brain is mush, but the kid is thriving so.

scrolling through photos from january and barely recognize my own child. babies change so fast it should be illegal. #milestones

grabbed my coffee this morning and it immediately went cold because i was too busy stopping the baby from eating a leaf. peak parenting.

weather is FINALLY nice so we're spending every waking moment outside. my pale winter skin is not ready for this transition but here we are.

the kid said 'more milk please' with full eye contact today and i almost cried. where did my baby go??? they're a whole tiny person now.

haven't done taxes yet and it's already mid-april. pretending this is fine. it is not fine. #taxseason

my kid is obsessed with the garden right now. just watches dirt like it's the most fascinating thing ever. fair enough, honestly. 🌱

commute was a nightmare this morning. took the long way home just to avoid the usual traffic jam. podcast saved my sanity. #podcastlife

spring break is next week and honestly i'm not ready. the daycare schedule changes are going to destroy my entire routine. send wine.

baby learned to wave today and i have approximately 500 videos of the same 3-second moment. my phone storage is basically a highlight reel of one tiny hand.

allergies are REAL this year. i'm out here sneezing through every outdoor playdate like it's a personality trait. send help and tissues.

Looking at photos from last month and my baby already looks completely different. Where did the tiny newborn go? This year is FLYING. 📸

Spring = all the outdoor playdates. My social battery is dead but my kid is happy so I guess I'm winning at this parenting thing.

Baby's grabbing at EVERYTHING now. My earrings, my necklace, my sanity. All fair game apparently.

The coffee shop on my commute got a spring menu. Nothing changes except the name of the drink and the price. Classic move.

Finally wore shorts today and immediately regretted it because my legs are vampire pale. Also the baby tried to eat a dandelion. Nature wins.
