I am not sure how to put this, it might be news to you, but I am IN LOVE with Claire. Like hardcore love. I think about her constantly, I miss her all the time and I want to do everything for her. As soon as she was born and I touched her face way too hard with my hands to try and show her that love as quickly as I could. I kept doing it until Ryan told me to use my soft hands because she was a baby haha he has had to say that a few more times since then. I squeeze her too hard, I kiss out her eyeballs and sometimes when her tongue is stickng out I bite it a little bit.
Sure the last few weeks have been bookmarked with sleepless nights and coughing fits that keep us all up for hours. But those days in the middle have been filled with laughs, crawls, falls, Easter basket treats and baby touches. It has been filled with Claire.
I have been overly emotional lately, it might have something to do with the memoir I just read Glitter & Glue by Kelly Corrigan or that we are packing and getting ready to take Claire back to where I grew up but something has me on an emotional ledge. I cry over everything that has to do with babies, milestones, and babies getting bigger.

I have also been super emotional about breastfeeding lately. We are still doing awesome and I thought we could even quit feeding at night but if you read my last blog you know I was wrong about that haha
But that night after I decide to quit the night weaning I really enjoyed the time we had together in the middle of the night just her and I. I kissed her head a lot more and she was such a cuddle bug. I plan on enjoying her wake ups more than dread them because they aren't going anywhere.
This picture was taken last weekend while Gerty and I sat in the sun and nursed our little babes. I love this picture and am so thankful that Robin snapped it for me. We are at almost 8 months of just breast milk and I really hope to make it to a year, I don't see why we would have to stop so I am thinking positively about it.
Well I hope you have a great day and kiss the ones you love and maybe bite their tongues too
