She's 16 Months!!!

My sassyfrassy baby girl is 16 months today! She's saying (among other things)...hot dog, shoes on and get down. She loves it when Dad 'pop' his mouth with his finger or shakes his face so his checks slap...so she walks up to people and shakes her face or sticks her finger in her mouth and pulls it out...to get them to do 'daddy's tricks'!!! She says "hi" to everyone...EVERYONE! Thanks to Phil :) she also gives high fives and shows who's #1 (not the gamecocks)!

She went to uncle bradley's football game last night and LOVED it...she was yelling and cheering along with everyone else...and sadly, imitating the cheerleaders the entire time(No offense, but she's not gonna be a cheerleader if I have any say)! Actually, I think she was in heaven...a place where everyone screams and claps..what could be better than that to my little one??!!!!

A Remembered Moment (& Remaining Fall Dates)

This is one of those beautiful moments I treasure. A moment when my daughter sat still, even briefly...next to her daddy. She looked up at him and smiled. I can see her little piggies barely hitting the end of the seat. A whispy curl peeking out. It's simple, it's them....it's beautiful. I love you two :) -M

Raleigh

Raleigh is 15 months this week! I can't believe how quickly she's growing up. She is running around like a mad woman, imitating everything and just soaking it all up! She is learning new words (and I'm learning to watch my mouth). We're having tantrums and ignoring mom...fun stuff! She's all toddler...and pretty freaking adorable (that's why I haven't given her away yet...YET)!

It's been too long!

I'm sorry to all my loyal blog readers...I've been so bad lately about updating!!!! I'm not making excuses or pointing fingers....but SOMEONE (possibly the dirty little cutie pie pictured below wearing her aunt liz's prom queen tiara) has been throwing themselves whole heartedly into toddlerhood!!!! I've been quite busy reading books, articles and anything else I can get my hands on to help me figure out how to parent my fiesty little person :)!!! It's a good thing she's so stinkin cute!!!

Home from "vacation"

It was a short trip that was filled with excitement! Here are a few pictures from the trip!!



Here's one I love of 2 year old Avery who was on the trip with us!


My poor girl busted her eye and after 6 hrs at the ER ended up with 2 stitches and is healing well! She's trooper!

Oh...and a few shots of me

My girl friends weren't going to let me get away with not being included in the first ever "Hot Mama" shoot...so, here are a couple Maria took of me. Nice work!!!!
Thanks gorgeous! -M

She loves Ravioli...well, she loves food....and I love her

Is this the cutest little face you have ever in your life seen? Raleigh would eat pretty much all day if I let her...so when she loves a food it's not THAT big of a deal. Today she was eating ravioli for lunch and was just so happy...I wanted to remember that happy little face all covered in sauce! -M
