...ish...

"-ish" has become one of my new favorite words...or at least my new favorite ending to words. Life with a newborn is a lot less exact than it used to be. Times are a little more flexible in my life now, not as rigid as they used to be. When I have to be somewhere at a certain time, if I can't add an -ish to the end of the time I'll be there, then I will surely be late. But, if I tell someone I'll be there at 11ish, that really gives me at least a 30 minute cushion before I consider myself late. Even better, if I add a range to the time, I give myself a whole lot more leeway. 

I will admit that this drives my husband crazy. I really do try to be on time when I'm trying to get places with Erin, but it's hard. She's not quite as predictable as I expected her to be. If it takes me 45 minutes to feed her, change her clothes and diaper, get myself ready, get all her stuff packed up and get out the door every day, the one time I try to get somewhere giving myself 45 minutes to do all that...she takes an extra 15 minutes to eat and there's nothing I can do about it.

So...in the spirit of the -ish, here is our sweet baby girl's 3 month-ish post... life with her continues to be such a sweet joy... here are some highlights of this month:

...seeing your funny faces get even funnier...

...getting a sweet picture with you...

...visiting family in Oklahoma, where you got lots of hugs from Grandma, Grandpa, aunts, uncles and cousins, and...

...ran in your first 5-K with Aunt Noni, Mom, Dad, Adam and Jillian...

...We celebrated our first Easter as a family of 3. We can't wait to continue to teach you about Jesus as you get older, and how amazing His resurrection is. Happy 3-ish Months, Miss Erin! Is it possible for our hearts to melt and smile at the same time? We love you!
