I bought this outfit for Macy when we went to Orange Beach last year.  She was only 4 weeks old at the time and lived in onsies, so I wanted to get a real outfit that she could wear.  Could you guess she’s teething and sleep deprived? 🙂 Standing, but still hesitant to walk. 🙂

Macy is actually napping so I have a minute to add some pictures from our trip to Orange Beach…. Macy wasn’t too excited that Mom brought her hat. Macy loved her floatie, but really wanted to play with the big kids. Macy and Aunt Steph on the beach. Macy didn’t really know what to do… Continue reading Orange Beach

We’re on our way home from our annual beach / MS trip. We had a great time catching up with family and friends. This trip has been harder than usual with Macy because her top 2 teeth are coming in and she has had a rough time with them. I’ll have to add pictures from… Continue reading Orange Beach/Mississippi Trip

This is coming a little late, but I knew I had to get pictures up from Macy’s first birthday before we leave for Orange Beach tomorrow (and have more pictures that need posting).  We were blessed to be surrounded by friends and family to celebrate Macy’s special day.  I was especially excited that Macy’s Grams,… Continue reading Macy's first birthday

My incredible husband used a Memorial Day sale to my advantage and gave me an early birthday present today!  I’ve wanted a kitchenaid mixer since I registered for our wedding and now there’s one sitting on my kitchen counter!  I’m even more excited because I have a very important birthday cake to make for Macy’s… Continue reading Happy early birthday to me!

Today will be Macy’s first day to have a formula-only bottle….12 days before her first birthday. When she was born I was determined to give her the best start to life that I could with nursing and pumping extra milk to freeze. There were definitely times that were hard (and painful), but in the end… Continue reading Mission Accomplished

I’m adding some Macy pictures that we took on Mother’s Day.  I had a great “first” Mother’s Day.  Doug let me sleep in, he cleaned the living room and kitchen, cooked an incredible meal for me and his parents, and then did the dishes afterwards.  Sunday evening we went to Home Depot and got some… Continue reading Mother's Day Pictures

Macy loves her ball, so when it rolled under the couch she was determined to get it out.  I have to admit the first time it went under the couch I didn’t have the camera so I had to recreate it when the camera was near. 🙂 Now she’s getting serious! And finally success!!!  I… Continue reading Determined little one

Macy had her first local strawberries last night.  I’d say they were a hit.  She was shoveling them in as fast as she could pick them up (without squishing them in her hands…that happened a lot). Notice how both hands are going strong! In the end I had a very happy little girl…ready for a… Continue reading South Carolina Strawberries

This little guy sits on our front porch every night. He was here last fall (or it might have been this frog’s dad…how long do frogs live?) when it was still warm and then went on vacation during the winter. As soon as it warmed up he came back. He’s a cute little addition to… Continue reading Say hello to my little friend….
