firsts.

my baby girl is growing up so fast! how was it only four months ago that we were two terrified parents who cradled every bit of this little baby's body so that nothing would break. above...a picture of her first time sitting up straight in her bumbo chair. it seems like every day is a new first...and every bit of it is so fun to watch.

...and i am trying to just take it all in because these little moments...they go so fast.

...and just in case you didn't already know...we are so in love.

hi, it's me.

just checking in to let you know that..

1. i really like this article about why people are always saying they are sooooo busy. i will never say i am too busy. even if i am too busy. promise.

2. i have discovered pop rocks chocolate. my co-worker brought it back from israel and my life will never be the same. people come to talk to me at my desk and my mouth is fizzing. awful/amazing.

3. i woke up in the middle of the night excited that i could fall back asleep and sleep in in the morning. then i realized it was monday night. and that i have a baby. oh boy...this is going to be a long week.

4. is summer over, really?

holy vacation.

i mean, i really needed some time at the beach. last week we got in the car and drove on down to our family beach house in pensacola. it was so much fun introducing skylar to the ocean and seeing her cute little toes in the sand. every morning we woke up (at 6am...welp) and drank coffee out on the porch while watching dad surf. and even though we weren't able to do some things due to her miniature size...it's these little moments I cherish with her and I can't wait to make more memories as she gets older at my favorite place on earth. oh, and special thanks to my mom for giving me a couple of hours each day with my book and a bloody mary/bud light/mimosa/sangria to myself. much needed for sanity reasons.

here are a couple of cute pics...

until next year...
