That’s K’s way of saying “Thank You”. It’s the cutest thing on the planet. She’ll say it after I give her something. And then sometimes I say “kiss” and she pursers her lips and I lay one on her and then she smiles and says, “Dank Oooh!” Okay, maybe THAT’S the cutest thing on the…
So, Um, I Kinda Lost 30 Pounds…
The other morning I stepped on the scale and glanced down at the number between my feet and a HUGE smile came across my face. I’ve done it, y’all. I’ve lost 30 pounds!! The number on the scale isn’t lying. All the running. All the “low-carbing”. All the Zumba classes. All the desserts resisted. It…
Park Date
“Baby” K (that name isn’t going to work much longer, is it?) turned 17 months old yesterday. We “celebrated” with a little trip to the park with our friends. And snacks. And well, you know, Mardi Gras beads had to come along too… K has definitely entered the “language explosion” phase and pretty much every…
Banged Up – WW
Baby K does have a small bruise to the right of her chin where she took a little tumble over the weekend… However, what I’m really referring to is her hair…. notice anything different? Yeah, Tim and I decided on Sunday night to trim her bangs so that hair would no longer be in her…
16 Months and 10 Days
She wanders into the pantry and points her little baby girl finger up to the shelves. She makes eye contact with me and says “NACK?!” Kinda like her brother used to around this age. I know what she wants so I reach into the box to get one for her whereupon a big smile spreads…
14 Months of K
I’m in love with this little girl. I was the moment they gave her to me after her birth, 14 months ago yesterday, and I still am today. It’s hard to believe it’s been that long. But every morning as I go to get her and I lift her up to my chest and smell…
Can We Even Classify These as Pig Tails? – WW
I’m not really sure how she got so big. Or how her hair got sort of long enough. Where did my little bundle go? Where did the baby go that spoke nary a word but now says “bye bye” and “nigh nigh” and “ba ba” as she toddles around? The “baby” that now smiles with…
And So I Ran
In middle school I really hated gym class. It wasn’t SO much the actual exercising as it was the too-tight uniform shorts I had to wear. I was NOT fond of track and field though, and remember feeling relieved that I was out sick on the day that we had to do hurdles. I was…
Time flies, but as long as I’m flying with him, it’s all good.
When I think about November of 1995 I recall how I was happy with my life as it was. I was in my Junior year of college, living with one of my best friends, having a good time and loving life as a twenty-year old. I was still “talking to” a boy I’d dated over…
WW – Have I Mentioned That She’s Walking?
Well, she is. And it’s fun and crazy all at the same time. I still have to do a double take whenever I see her doing it. How’d she get so big? And yes, I’m VERY late with my WW. Hey, at least it’s still the Wednesday. 🙂
