So today Serena turned six months old. It hardly seems like six months have gone by since that morning. It feels like much longer than that, like even though she’s new, she’s also ancient; in a sense, she’s always been a part of my life.
I never realized, until she came along, how hard I actually worked and how short a day really is. There was always time enough for everything, but now there isn’t–not that she’s terribly demanding; it’s just that she’s so much more interesting than so many of the things I’m used to doing, so I’ve had to give some of them up.
It is, of course, a fair trade.

You think time goes by fast now, just wait. My oldest goes to high school next year and I’m wondering where the time went. It seemed that things were clipping along just fine…and then he got into school. And now he’s almost an adult.
BTW, she has your cheeks.
