Wordless Wednesday

Hot Hot Hot

It has been so hot here. The heat index is well of 100 each day...and looks like we are not going to see any relieve anytime soon. I have been the worst about walking evening since the heat started. I can barely make around the block without feeling yucky. Last night, I decided...enough is enough... Lily Anne outside we go. Water, toys and camera in tow.

1 year!

How has one year passed by so fast? Considering father time never sleeps or does not slow down...makes me sad.



Lily Anne had a wondeful 1st birthday. We celebrated this past Saturday with family and friends. Lily Anne lived her party to the fullest. Being the center of attention was her favortie part of the party.

11 months....where has time gone

Seriously where has the last 11 months gone?



Answer: I haven't a clue....but I have a beautiful orange hair child to tell me each morning!

Hugs and kisses every morning....(not every day has been wonderful) but they have been a adventure that has taught me so much about patience and thankfulness.

I put her birthday invites in the mail today....I just about cried. Is it really time? I have thought about this day alot lately. I have been working on project after project for her party. They are not huge projects, but none the less I am trying. I can not wait to see everything all together. (yes, same excitement as my wedding...who would have thought) My mom is making her dress for the day, although she is not telling me much about it, I know it will be awesome. She is also doing the cake/cakes, my super mom.

Mother Nature....

Seriously....I am really mad at you! Last night I was planning on a night RESTFUL sleep, however, you decided that was a huge request.

You ruined my perfectly laided out dinner of steaks on Tuesday night ....ended up for spaghetti.

Then last night you made so much noise and flickering that you woke up my child (who was sleeping peacfully) 3 times.

.......
Yes, we had thunder storms! I love/hate them. I love to sit on the back porch and watch one roll in. I love the sounds and watching the lighting bolts. I hate them now because they keep me up and worried and it completely wakes me child.

Rain is so good for everything!


.........PS on the good side to this post....Lily Anne can hear! I am happy that it woke her up. It totally means she hears! Proud.

Wagon Days!!!

The summer days have started! Pulling the wagon with Lily Anne in it. Oh boy where has the time gone. I am just beside myself with joy and sadness. I am not ready to say I have a 1 year old and not a baby.

Lily Anne has taken quite a turn in eating. Although we still fight with her on loving it, but she does like to feed herself. We tried peas and carrots. She thought that was great....definitely not as messy as I thought it would be.

This morning yet again (actually as always) I had to wake her up. Ususally by lighting on her lamp does the trick but.....this morning she was zonked.....enough for me to turn the light on and run for the camera. Love my sleeping baby.
