Picture Post

So, I am way behind on posting pics of doodlebug lately. It takes time and I just haven't had any of that lately. :)

Once she started crawling...she was into EVERYTHING! :)




Took Kaydee to the Blue Ridge Mountains with Mike's parents and our nephews. Kaydee is mesmerized by their energy. :)


















Her first Zoo experience was great. She loved the warthogs and giraffes.










She was SO hot (we all were) so we stopped into the treehouse to cool off in the air conditioning.



We got some pictures done for her 1-year, but it was actually on her 11-month birthday. I had a canvas groupon that was expiring on 8/3 and needed to get professional pics done as soon as possible. :)














We are going to have her best friend, Tina, visiting with us, so more pictures of her visit and Kate's first birthday party to come!

One Craziness After Another

Ok, so I haven't posted in a while due to my hectic life, but I really want to get back into doing this as I have noticed that it keeps track of my little one's milestones & life in general.

We took baby boo to the zoo a couple of weeks ago & she actually enjoyed herself. It was hot (as expected in July in Atlanta), but bearable. Her favorite exhibit was the warthogs-go figure, lol. She just stared at them until we finally rolled her away to move on. I love going on family outings and find it's very important to do so to keep our family unit tight.

I have been planning a birthday party for the past month and I am trying my best not to let it stress me out. I am trying to also not let it get too big without hurting anyone's feelings. I have decided to hold 2 parties so that we are not overwhelming little-bit. :) August 28 with be with family and a couple of friends while September 3 will be with her friends. I am just realizing that her birthday party could easily be on Labor Day weekend for the rest of her life! :) That makes for a weekend of partying, lol. ;)

She has been up to a lot lately now that she is approaching her 1st birthday!
**SHE TOOK HER FIRST STEPS LAST NIGHT!!! I wasn't able to get it on camera as it was a spur of the moment ... well, moment and I didn't want to personally miss it, so we just didn't capture it on film. It will, however, be captured in our memories forever. :) They were only a few steps at a time, but I have a feeling with more practice and hard work, we could have a walker by her birthday!!!

**Size 12-18 month clothes. She has outgrown all but a few 6-12 month outfits and is completely in all 12-18 month clothes.

**Climbing stairs. She started one day while I was cleaning the kitchen and I heard nothing but silence...never a good sign. I walked around the corner & she was halfway up the stairs!!! I freaked out & demanded a baby gate. ;) She HATES the baby gate...basically-she hates boundaries! lol

I know I am in much need of a picture post & will try to do that in the next couple of days when I get a chance. :)
