Last night (TUESDAY – 4.18.17) was our last day of school for the semester. We still have a final to take at home (open book finals are my JAM!!! 😀 ) and a 10k (which I’ll probably be walking most of 😛 ), but otherwise, we are done for the summer. This first year of […]
being rylie
happy easter 2017
We’ve successfully celebrated Rylie’s 1st Easter! 😀 It wasn’t super “easter-y,” mainly because I didn’t see the point in getting her an Easter basket or doing an egg hunt (you better believe I’m doing that next year though!!! 😛 ), but we had a great, full morning of church (if you want to see our […]
rylie – 5 months old
LIKES :: grabbing her feet moving her arms up and down eating oatmeal talking (cooing, sighing, gasping, sticking her tongue out and making a noise, etc.) playing with toys DISLIKES :: thinking she’s completely alone not being fed fast enough tummy time (after she’s been on her tummy for a while) MOM LIFE :: […]
summer is coming
Summer is quickly approaching, and the weather is definitely walking right alongside it. It’s getting warmer (and the humidity is starting to creep in… Lord, help me!). The other day, it was a comfortable 70-something degrees so I decided to take Rylie outside. My in-laws have an Eno set up, so Rylie-girl and I decided […]
rylie eating for the first time
Since Rylie turned 4 months, I’ve been very excited to start introducing food to her (oatmeal, fruits & veggies). Aaron expressed his desire to be there the first time we gave it to her, so we waited for a Saturday morning where we had a free moment (which is hard to find these days unfortunately). But […]
march 2016 – march 2017
March 11th, 2016 I found out I was pregnant with – who is now – our Rylie. I still have trouble sometimes really believing that it’s been over a year since we found out we were expecting baby #1. SO much has happened since, and I love looking back and re-reading the story, so I […]
the “too small” box
SUNDAY (3.19.17) was the last day Rylie fit into one of our favorite little dresses. It’s the dress she wore for her church dedication, so not only is it adorable, but it also has sentimental value to us. After church, I took her out of it and got her into something a little less formal. I […]
a long weekend visit
My mom got to come down for a 5 day stay. She flew in to the Birmingham airport on THURSDAY (3.2.17) and stayed until TUESDAY (2.7.17). It was fun to see her interact with Rylie now that she was more responsive and playful. It was a busy 5 days, that’s for sure. We ended up […]
rylie – 4 months old
4 months old… how did that happen? LIKES :: talking (cooing, sighing, gasping, sticking her toungue out and making a noise, etc.) playing with toys attention from family & friends getting pacifiers fom the freezer (we’re in the early signs of teething) seeing what people are eating seeing Mommy &/or Daddy walk into the room […]
our 1st rodeo
I don’t know why, but I’ve never been to a rodeo. Partially because I’m from the Northwest and rodeos are not super common other then the Fair, but I didn’t always go to that let alone make my way to a rodeo. So when Rick and Michelle said they got 4 free tickets for FRIDAY […]
