Dear Claire,
You are now 18 months old. Oh yes, you are. Your lovely Aunt Addie says the hardest part she’s found is 18 months to 3. I’m sorry, wha? If this month has been any indication, I kinda want to hurl myself off the cliff now, instead of waiting to see if it gets worse. [...]

Wait, maybe I shouldn’t cuss in these. You’re going to read them someday. How about “Dear Claire. Today you turn ___ months old. My goodness, how time flies.” That’s better.
Annnnywaaaay, you’re 13 months old. Last [...]

Newsletter: 1 year
Dear Claire,
You are a year old. I know this sounds cliché, but I really can’t believe it. When I found out I was pregnant, I honestly didn’t think I’d get through the next month, much less a year. When you were born, I was terrified. We could barely take care of ourselves; [...]
