Getting closer and closer
While this is something that I totally want.

This is what I will actually be purchasing.

There’s only a $5,162.01 difference.
This could only mean one thing.

This little girl is going to be one real soon.



Man, check out my nails, I totally need to start taking my prenatals again (just for the awesome hair and nails. Trust me.)
I don’t know what I’m going to do. Sometimes I just want another tiny baby. No. Not another tiny baby. I want my tiny babies back. I miss snuggling them and rocking them and just staring at them. Now they run and jump and play and say “momamomamoma” and smile and laugh and hug and tell me they love me.
Well, Little Sister doesn’t say it, but I know she means it.
PS. Little Sister is brilliant. She’s signing for “more” and “milk” already! I’m so excited for her. Though she signs for “milk” aka “nurse” 800 times a day.

I think it is so sweet to see little ones signing. Bailey still signs for everything, she just says it too. I can’t believe Lil sis’s going to be one soon! I can’t believe I’m about to have a two year old! Or that you’re going to have a 3 year old! Crazy…

Ok…why did you have to remind me that our babies are about to be 1! I am in total denial
And I like your choice of car seat….we are getting the same one in Camooflage!
I love this post. Alivia won’t sign milk…but when I do it, she giggles and makes a bee line right for me! I LOVE it! Man I used a LOT of exclamation points in this comment. Heehee

What precious photos! How old is she? My 8 1/2 month old still hasn’t said mama or dada (or anything else) and I haven’t tried signing with her. She knows what “boobies” means though! I was just saying tonight how funny it would be if “boobies” was her first word.

Oh precious girl is growing up too fast. I can not believe it has already been a year. OHHHHH I am missing out and I can’t stand it. I remember when she was so itty bitty. Give her a hug and big sister a hug for me. I love them both very much!

The upside is you get to see that precious face staring frontwards now. I remember that being an awesome feeling. We were more connected as I was driving.

lol - it still is a very cute carseat :o)
And thank you for your compliment on my tin album… I actually just let my business license go for my scrapping business - I did do it for others for like 3 years, but now life with three kids makes it too much work… especially since I am such a slow scrapper!

Oh what sweet pictures! I, too, sometimes miss my very tiny Ava, but 3 is so much fun! I remember loving 1 too, but around then, worrying she’d never say more than a few words. She quickly made up for that! We learned several signs too around the same age (isn’t it just precious when they do that so young), but my slacker-momma side didn’t pursue it like I planned. She still loves to learn new ones every now and then (mostly from the great pbs show Signing Time).

Love that car seat! I guess I’m going to have to break down and buy and new infant carrier. We are pretty sure it was “loaned” with the swings…. and maternity clothes… bah.

Isn’t it kinda bitter sweet how fast they grow!!

How sweet! The time really does go by too, too fast ;)!

Little Sister, You’re awesome!!!!! They are so sweet and innocent. Aren’t they. My baby is 15 months old and I’m so bummed about it.
