Talitha Joy {ten months}

April 27, 2016

Growing // Talitha actually lost a few ounces during her nursing strike (down to 21 lbs. 5 ounces), but she’s bounced back and feels heavier than ever. I’m guessing she’s over 22 pounds by this point.
Eating // T is still nursing four times a day – around 8am, 12pm, 4pm, and 8pm, but I think she’s getting ready to drop one of the mid-day feedings. It’s crazy to think that we will be done-ish with nursing soon. She loves any and all table foods, and it’s a challenge to keep enough fruits and veggies ready to go, so I don’t hand her carbs and other processed stuff out of convenience.
Wearing // I pulled all the 12 month clothes out of her drawers last week, so she is fully in 18 month clothes as this point.
Doing // Clapping, waving, knowingly saying “mama” and “dada,” scooting herself down off low furniture like our bed and the living room ottoman, getting her top two teeth
Loving // People-watching, playing in the Tupperware drawer, wrestling, crawling on the ground outside and getting filthy
Loathing // Still hates having her diaper or clothing changed… Also, does not like when I feel around her gums for new teeth

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.
