Walkin' Girl





So maybe it took a little longer than normal for my little princess to walk.


One of Lily Ann's baby friends was walking at around nine months. Naturally, I thought Lily would walk around then too. When she didn't, I wasn't worried - because I was sure that, like most babies, she would walk at around twelve to fifteen months.


Fifteen months came and went. No walking. She was crawling and holding on to furniture while she "cruised" around the house. But she just had no interest in walking. I kept thinking - "any day".


And finally - at nearly nineteen months old. . . she walked. And she is walking everywhere these days. Here's a little video of her skills.

A Tribute to my Lifemate . . .

I just want to put this in print . . . in cyberprint I guess. My husband is working hard today - at a "J.O.B." He goes there every morning. He likes it well enough - but if he had the choice, he'd be doing something more fun. He could be shopping, going for a long walk, updating his blog, playing with his newborn daughter or enjoying a cup of coffee on the front porch - but he chooses to go to work and pay the bills so that I can do those things. Sure, the life of a "stay-at-home-mom" is full of work too. But it isn't a "J.O.B." I have the freedom to take Lily to the zoo and pay the bills tomorrow. I can catch a playdate with some other moms and put off the laundry another day or so. I wouldn't have those luxuries were it not for my husband. He misses a lot of fun here at home each day. But do I ever hear one complaint? Do I ever have to drag him out of bed and kick him out the door to get him to work? Nope. In fact, he gets up and helps me i...

Any Day Now . . .

We went to a birthday party, at the park, on Saturday. One of our friends took a picture of our little family as we came in.  From this angle, you can't clearly see how giant my midsection is - but it is quite large.  Adam's jacket (the only one that still fits) hides my hump pretty well too.  Miles should be here any day now.  Literally.  I would be surprised if he's not here within the week.  This morning, I walked about three miles - hoping.  Each day, I try to walk at least a mile or so.  But, so far, the walking has not encouraged any progress.  Maybe I should try skipping.  Does anyone have a pogo stick I could borrow?  Lily Ann is a little princess.  She's been talking about the baby boy in my tummy lately.  And the one in her tummy . . . and in Daddy's tummy.  Someone gave her a book about being a "big sister."  She loves it.  She wants to read it every day.  Right now she is napping with o...

My First Year as MOM . . . .

I'll post some pic's of Lily's first year soon. However - my heart has to express some words first. Lily Ann has been a blessing to us since she entered this wretched world. For me, she has been a constant reminder of God's love. Every smile she has bestowed upon me; every time her eyes rest on mine; every kiss she's planted on me; every snuggle; every delightful gasp when I pick her up; every single breath that I hear her take - unmistakable blessings. One day - I remember coming home from a long Saturday at work - needing some rest. I knew I'd have my little snuggler in my arms the moment I entered the home. However - she wanted to nurse before her nap. I felt a little "put upon" and inconvenienced at first. But I noticed - that just after she began her frantic suckling for nourishment, she stopped - kept her tiny nose pressed against me - and began to breathe deeply. She was smelling me. Breathing me in. Needing me. Suddenly - I stopped caring abou...
