Two Months

Baby T's two month "birthday" has snuck up on me. In some ways she doesn't seem like a two month old (she's TWELVE pounds already) and in some ways she still seems like my little newborn (like when she's up in the middle of the night). But it's getting to where I don't feel like I can't say "I JUST had a baby" as an excuse anymore, especially for having an extra 15 pounds hanging off me. Because "you look so great FOR JUST HAVING A BABY" is not the same as actually looking great....especially when you technically haven't "just" had a baby....anyways...

This is what prompted the photos this particular afternoon. Miss A wanted to hold the baby, which she doesn't ask to do very often. Aren't they sweet together? Please excuse that A is only in a diaper. I promise, we start off every day right with her, cute outfit, clean face, hair done. She has all of this undone by the time breakfast is over some days. This past Sunday she was walking behind Zach down the hall at church, and he turned around to see that she had taken her skirt and diaper off, just strutting away half naked, at church.

Ahhh....my little sweetheart!

Sun and Snow

Today was 70 degrees. In March. Probably not that unusual for the swampy south, and although this has been the mildest winter I've experience in a 9 years, there's still something magical about that first warm balmy day after winter. I just love the yummy sunlight in this picture. It's hard to believe that just a month ago, Miss A was having some snow day fun in the exact same spot in front of our house.

The scene one month ago....

The boogie board emerges again! Miss A loves it in the snow just as much as she loved it in the grass last summer. Being pulled by dad on snow day one (who had the day off because all schools were canceled, I LOVE that about the south!!)

And catching some air on snow day two!

Warming back up with some hot chocolate and a favorite blanket. I love those rosy red cheeks! One of these days I'm going to go through this blog and see what percentage of the posts have her ABC blanket somewhere in the picture. This blanket (made by Zach's grandma) hasn't left Miss A's side in well over a year and a half.

Oh Spring, we will enjoy you briefly before the great outdoors becomes a raging hot swampy mess courtesy of 100% humidity on 100 degree summer days. Summers here are intense!

These are a few of my favorite things.....

Over the years, as our circumstances and lives have evolved, so have my priorities and what some of my favorite things about my husband are. When we were dating it might have been his hair, or his jeans, or something important like that. But today, on our 6th anniversary, one my current favorite things about him? He's a great dad. And takes great care of some of my other favorite people in my life. Here's to 6 years baby!
