our happy place // adventures with eg

ingredients for a perfect day: me with a book and giant chai latte, baby girl with her best buddy george the giraffe, just hanging in the sunshine. 

since day one, sweet baby girl has loved the sunshine. nothing calms her down quite like being outside. it's quite the magic trick. maybe i watched frozen one too many times when i was pregnant. when the sky is awake, this baby girl is awake. then again...she's pretty much always awake.

lucky for us, we've had a bit of a warm winter, and with that comes many happy days. as much as i love cold snuggly sweater weather, i'm thankful for these few 60 degree sunny january days.


hopefully our neighbors don't mind the veggie tale sing along songs playing on the speakers.

gotta get that Jesus music.

emma grace: six months

dear sweet emma grace, 

you're a growing machine at 15 lbs, 15 oz and 23 1/2 inches long! 

this month, you discovered your voice, and boy, do you love to hear it! i can't even begin to imagine what opinions and stories you're trying to tell us. you're sleeping a little better, but it's still one of your least favorite things to do. you're a little giggle box and the smiliest baby on the block. even when you're a little fussy, you somehow manage to have a smile on your face. you bring so much joy to everyone you meet! you're a expert in pushing backwards in your walker, and you flipped from your back to your tummy! you had a fantastic first christmas and were spoiled rotten. you have a giant family that loves you more than you know. 

love, your mama
