Essie is eighteen months old. She's walking, talking and dancing, learning new stuff every day and acting like any other kid her age. Once she hit around a year old I really slowed down on updating this weblog. Mostly because taking care of her is pretty engrossing and I had other writing projects and creative things I was working on.
Now, though, I feel a little weird about keeping a weblog about Essie. I'm no Dooce and while I love to write I have some reservations about detailing so much of what's going on in her life.
I guess the reason for that is that she's becoming a person. A real little personality with quirks and traits and preferences and things that make her unique. I love sharing her with my friends and family, but I do that on Facebook and having a weblog open to the world about my daughter isn't really necessary. Someday she can choose to share herself with the world, but for now I'll keep it to a minimum and Facebook is a place where I can control that.
I'll leave what I've written; I just won't be adding anything else here. When I had Essie I was grateful to find many weblogs out there detailing the experiences of others with having preemies. Being able to read about the same things we were going through was comforting, so I want to leave this here in case anyone else going through something similar stumbles across it in a Google search.
Thanks for reading along!
