This avocado supermodel is one year old today.
I’ve been wrestling with what to say about that. A poem? An essay about motherhood and all the wonderful things about Lucy? A list of that enumerates and explains this experience so far?
Nothing feels quite right.
Probably because nothing quite captures how I feel.
I’ve never loved this big. I’ve never worked this hard. I’ve never felt this tired. I’ve never been this happy.
One year of absolute, complete and all-encompassing joy with my beautiful, strong, smart, spunky, funny, fearless girl.
One year with my Lucy.
I’ve often said that perfection doesn’t exist in this universe. As it turns out, I was wrong. Because this –
This is perfection.

I love to hear that! Lots of people say she looks like me, but I see a lot of Graham in her, too. It will be fun watching her grow and change. 🙂

It is never too young to start with a regular avocado facial. It is fun watching them figure out things. Me thinks those straps are going to be green forever now, but what a memory!

Oh yes, they certainly are! They are permanently guac-ed. But Lucy is a happy, avocado-eating baby, so it’s all good. 🙂
