Aaaand hello first ear infection.

Blergh. 

There is so much liquid coming out of that little pink face right now. Off to the doctor we went. Dr. Stone said 5-6 on a scale if 1 to 10. Luckily you love your pink bubblegum amoxicillin! 

You'll feel better soon. I'm sorry you don't feel good sugar butt :(

Crawling to Mommy

Playing on the floor of your nursery this morning, and you crawled to me. It was so sweet. I guess it's something you could have done before but we always put toys out to crawl to...or more often than not you see something that you shouldn't be getting into and crawl to it! 

Anyway, I sat up and held out my hands, and you have me a big Evie smile, came toward me, and reached out for my hand. Please always stay this sweet! Is that too much to ask? :)

Pulling Up!

Hello Evie!

Kid, you are rocking and rolling at rapid fire pace. You smoked the crawling wedge at Gymboree this morning, then when I took you over to the ball pit, you PULLED YOURSELF UP!! I wasn't even expecting it, we've been working so hard on crawling that we haven't even gotten here yet, not to mention you JUST turned 6 months old! 

You astound me and your daddy! Way to go baby girl! 

(Here's the text conversation from when I told him! Ha!)

Love you Ev!

You just took this photo of yourself!

Girls Day at the Mall

Hello Evie! 

It's been a busy few days, and even though I really need to do laundry, clean up the kitchen, straighten up the living room, put up dishes, etc., I thought it'd be fun instead to hang out at the mall and just have a girls day! I love pushing you in your stroller around the Galleria. When you were not even two weeks old, it was one of the first things we ever did just you and me. I was on a mad hunt for something for you to wear on St. Patrick's Day! So I guess there is something nostalgic for me about being here with you! 

Shopping at Baby Gap, needed something for your 6 month photo session! 

Your mommy being silly in the elevator...

Oh but this! Completely tuckered out in my arms. You've been asleep for a solid half hour, you didn't even finish your bottle! My chair is wobbly and the seat is hard, but I don't care. You are so sweet and I love this. 

Fun fact: the last time I puked when I was pregnant with you, I had just left the mall to pick up a sugar cookie double doozie and a cherry coke. Guess what I sat here in the food court and are? Ha! 

(After I published this post and woke you up to leave, I thought it'd be fun to stop by the photo booth. It's true, I do totally framing love you!)

Selfies.

One of the recent trending stories is that the word "selfie" just officially made its way into the dictionary.

Me and you take a lot of selfies. Here are some of my faves! 

Last week while we were having a lazy afternoon and watching old episodes of The Amazing Race.

Yesterday evening while we were playing on the bed. That smile you gave the camera! Can't get over it.

This morning at the Starbucks in Target, special occasion because it was the return of the much-loved Pumpkin Spice Latte! I didn't like coffee a whole lot while I was pregnant with you, and I remember I even tried to force these down a couple mornings last fall, just for the sake of the season, but I couldn't really get them down! I also got a free one this morning because while I was trying to take this pic, you knocked over the cup! A little bit spilled, and the nice barista gave me a whole new one for free! 

Taken Sunday afternoon after Daddy and I had been in Atlanta all weekend. We missed you so much!! 

At your first Gymboree class a couple weeks ago. You loved that maraca! 

Snuggling with me while you were sick last month.

Snoozing at Kamin's pool last month. Didn't know it yet, but this was when you started getting sick. :( 

Being a bad mom and letting you gnaw on a Popsicle when you were not even 5 months old! It was a Sweet Tea Pop from Steele City Pops, I really couldn't deny you the deliciousness, then I'd REALLY be a bad mom!

Playing on your nursery floor while you enjoyed one of your frozen fruit-sicles!

About to head out for an afternoon on the town. I think we are pretty cool duo, kid!! 

The day the future King George of England was born! I drank my coffee from my royal wedding mug while we watched the coverage on the Today Show. 

One of my favorites from earlier this summer. It's true, I love you very much!! 

Snuggling after a loooong week of freelance photo shoots! It was the same week I turned 29, and I sent you off with Nan a lot during that week so I could get some work done :( I really missed you! Felt so good to be on the other side of that assignment and spend some quality time with my favorite little lady!

We have so much fun together. I cherish all of these little moments with you so much my sweet girl!!
