Talitha Joy {eleven months}

May 19, 2016

Growing // I have no idea how much she weighs. Some days she feels heavy (like maybe 23 or 24 pounds?) but on other days I think of how much smaller she is compared to Z at this age and she seems as light as a feather.

Eating // T dropped a mid-day feeding, so she now eats in the morning, before her afternoon nap around 2 or 3pm, and at night. I feel both sad and relieved that nursing will be over soon.
Wearing // Holding steady in 18 month clothes and size 4 diapers.
Doing // Scooting along furniture, standing with just one hand perched on the wall to keep her steady, opening drawers and cabinets, waving “night night” when she goes to bed, throwing her paci back into her crib on command when she gets up from her naps.
Loving // Listening to music in the car, swimming, baths, pulling all the books off her shelf (but never reading them), hitting toys together to make a tapping beat, climbing on sissy’s toddler potty (yuck!)
Loathing // Why does she still hate having her diaper changed so much? I’ll never know…

About Jen Russum

Hi. I’m Jen Russum and this blog is where I’ve been sharing narratives of God’s grace for more than a decade now. Some might say “blogs are dead” but I’m waiting for them to come back around like mom jeans and 90s flannel. I enjoy my coffee iced, my summers hot, and my dinner parties long with lots of laughter. I process all of life’s deepest, darkest, and happiest moments by writing essays in my head. When I have the time, some of these essays get typed up and shared here. I’ve always loved to write, and I hope my words bring you joy and encouragement.
