Parenting is the hardest job in the world. Seriously.

Parenting is the hardest job in the world. Seriously. Being a stay at home mom has tested my limits more often than being a teacher. And here is why. If you do it wrong, you screw up a life. No pressure, right? I am not talking about the little stuff, I am talking about the big stuff. The stuff that keeps you up at night just hoping and praying that you are doing the right thing. Cause, you truthfully have no clue. At school, I had a curriculum and a 5 year degree and masters to reassure me that I was doing my job well.

Carrie-9 month update

Height: 28" Weight: 17lbs 2 oz Personality: A delight. Very very happy girl. Always smiling and laughing. A hard worker. She is constantly trying and trying to do new things. She never gives up. Sleeping: Good! From 7:30pm until 6:30 or 7am. Sometimes she has one random wakeup in the night, but not too often. She takes 2 naps, one in the morning and one in afternoon. I have to limit the morning one to about 1 hour or else the 2nd nap is a fight. Development: Crawling, pulling up on furniture, feeding herself finger foods. She currently has 2 bottom teeth. Overall, she is an absolute delight, but always busy when awake. She no longer likes to be held much, prefers to be out and about in life!
