aww. You are very lucky!! Dont forget that.
AND, ITS A FACT- there are 3 levels of develoment and a kid cant be advanced in all 3. I Have been reading a lot about it lately becuase sure, I thought it was pretty cool that Anika was walking by her 9 month bday BUT, I met kids YOUNGER than her saying TONS of words and she is still on one word, maybe 2 if you ask her dad. She REFUSES to clap her hands and kids younger than her do that too. But, there are gross motor skills like walking, fine motor skills and verbal....cant be good at them all. SO, she'll probably be an athlete, not a linguist! :)

Ha, did you write this just for me? I definitely feel the same in many aspects. Scared adam is behind, wish I had a sister, live in the country away from everything, etc... It's so true though. For everything there is a bright silver lining and it's so great to be able to realize it!

Thanks for posting this! I so needed to read this and tell myself all those things too. Sometimes we get so wrapped up in what other people have, we forget that we have great little lives too. The grass isn't always greener, either.

Thank you! :)

Great post. It is so, so, so easy to get sucked into these comparison ... especially in the blogland ... because we only get to see a glimpse of everyone else's life. I find myself green with envy SO often over many of the things you've mentioned here. It's so important to focus on the blessings we have.

Sometimes its the hardest part to try to look at the brighter side of things instead of getting jealous. Thanks for the reminder and the better out look on things!

Well put! It is so hard not to compare your life to others. I struggle with it too.

Great Post! I often ( I think we all do) get green with envy when I look at how other families live... especially stay at home moms. Especially because I would love for that to be a choice for our family. But then i remind myself all of the things I will be able to offer Kendall by working.

2012-01-05T10:04:27.215-05:00

Shannon, you are dead on with this post. I am the same way. Comparing myself to other people and bloggers. But this year is about reminding myself how blessed I am. And as for that view from your house, Kendall will love that she is growing up around such beauty!

Thanks for this little reminder to be grateful for what we have. I can always use a nice reminder :)

Wonderful post!! It's always great to re-remind yourself of that wonderful things in your life-- we ALL do that from time to time! Kendall is just TOO precious!! :-D

Great post! I think that we are all guilty of this....at least to some extent. Thanks for putting it in perspective and reminding us to be grateful for all that we do have.

Great post! We all need to be thankful for what we have! (And we all compare too)
Just a thought- the other night on Twitter you said you were weaning her off the pacifier. My youngest daughter was horrible with her pacifier and didn't talk at all. As soon as we had the pacifier gone (which took some time due to her hiding them!) she all of a sudden talked so much!

I love this post. I am bad about comparing my daughter to other babies her age and then I start worrying about why she isn't doing this or that yet. It's good to remember that we all feel this way sometimes.

2012-01-05T08:49:36.348-05:00

I love this!! I am guilty and do the same thing sometimes....We all have things we can work on but I always stand back and say that "Everything happens for a reason". Have a good day

You have it good, girl!! Trust me! Kp says more then Chloe does....Chloe knows what things are if you say them, but she has no interest in saying them. LOL!! Oh well...is there a saying late to walk, late to talk?? Probably not.
