I'm a mom now

I took El to the park last week. By myself. It was really weird. Like, for some strange reason, being at the park with her alone made me a real mom. It was my crowning moment, I think.

Erika. The mom.

So, picture this. There all us mamas (who had never met) were at the park, pushing our kids in swings. We were all secretly eyeing the competition (El won by a landslide. My shoes lost in comparison to theirs, fyi), and making small talk about how old our babies were.


I'm totally a mom now. Toooo-tally.

Anyway...After a little bit of El swinging in the "BABIES SUCK!" swing (it had that written on it, and I laughed), we decided to go play in the grass. Baby E loved running her fingers through it and trying to eat all the dead leaves.


In that moment, I realized that I take lots of little things in life for granted.



I mean, grass is pretty cool, darn it! So is warm (ish) weather in January.





and
 then, she {snapped}


Y3W to sum up this post? cutest baby ever.
