The other day during "witching hour",

 otherwise known as Zoe-is-talking-my-ear-off-and-my-patience-is-wearing-thin hour,

 I suggested we build a fort, to give my nerves a break.

It was nothing special, but Zoe loved it. She kept telling me to come inside with her,

 but it was a studio sized fort.

My cousin, Lara, had a little baby girl a few weeks ago, and after looking at her sweet baby pictures,

I couldn't help but going back to Zoe's.

I know I say this all the time, but she's growing up SO fast.

 I look at her baby pictures and it just feels like that was ages ago.

Now she says all sorts of funny things and likes to pick out her own clothes.

I miss the baby phase. 

But then I remind myself that we still need to potty train this one and

 Ryan has 2+ year of school left, and I reexamine :)

Tonight is cleaning and laundry, so I'd had better get started.

XOXO,

Holly & Co.
