A teething baby is not a fun baby. I feel so bad for her. Does anyone have any tricks to make it more bearable for ME? Ha! You'd thought I'd say her! She whines like this all day long.

One
I know this sounds like the typical boring post that everyone does: "I can't believe my baby is one!", or "Where has the time gone?" or "______ is one!". Blah, blah, blah...
But oh my gosh, HADLEY IS GOING TO BE ONE! What? Since when have I became that mother? I am not sentimental. I like to live in the moment. It rarely occurs to me that on the 23rd of each month that Hadley is 1, 2, 3, …. months old. I don't care about getting fancy pictures done every month. My scrapbook for her consists of absolutely nothing. Nor do I know when she is supposed to hit certain milestones. I am not that mother.
But I am the mother asking where has my baby gone? She is coming up on one and she IS a whole different child. Am I going to miss those fancy pictures I didn't take? No. But I am going to miss the immobile helpless child she pretended to be. And I am going to miss the clean face she always had. And I'm really going to miss her wanting to be held. And why does SHE want to hold her bottle all the time now? Sometimes mom wants to help.
So Hadley is going to be one soon. Sometime around Thanksgiving. No fancy parties will be had and no clips of hair will be kept to remember her first haircut. She's turning one and I'm kind of afraid of what the next year will bring.

A Single Mom's Story
I've been one for four out of the last six seeks. Bottles, food, ALBERT, laundry, work, running (or lack of. did I mention the marathon i'm doing in ONE MONTH?), oh and of course the messiest diapers I've ever seen due to Hadley's enormous appetite and speedy eating habits - have been taking up my days.
Props to all single/military moms. But I sure didn't sign-up for this; therefore, I am allowed to complain. I don't want sympathy or anything. Okay, maybe I do. Thank god David will be back in three days and a wake-up. The lawn needs mowing. Just kidding, but it really does.
Coming Soon: Hadley's first steps…
