half a year!
today is january 25. exactly 6 months ago today we were jumping into all the craziness head first.
at the moment we are learning how to sleep. who knew it was a learned thing?
other “tricks” include:
sitting up. (our nanny has caught scarlett sitting up on her own twice in her crib now. we don’t know how it happens though. baby magic)
waving “bye-bye” when i...
muscle baby
You wouldn't know it...
but we don’t like peas. we don’t like much. except maybe sweet potatoes. i hope this is temporary.
Scarlett in scarlet
Red is my favorite color. It’s surprisingly hard to find baby girl clothes in red. And bows? Forget about it. But somehow I managed.

Watchthank goodness for the sock game. just before we gave this game a go (which i learned from jonathan, jaclyn and maddie), i had a Grumpy-Pants McGoo on my hands.

Watchok lets just accept that my voice gets really high when i talk to my child and move on. it’s not something that can be helped.
here’s scarlett, trying to say, “Hi.”
(also, i don’t know why i can’t get movies off my iphone to look right. another thing that we’ll just have to accept for now.)
Scarlett is making donkey sounds at night. Cute. Yes. But also not exactly when you’re trying to sleep and you’re not really feeling the whole donkey thing.
And she can roll from tummy to back now. She is shocked every time she does it which leads me to believe it’s an an accident.
Jon and I celebrated our 6th anniversary on Saturday. Definitely our best yet.
I kind of...

three month check up!
the doctor said scarlett was doing great. she is strong! she is nearly rolling over, pushing up, turning her head every which way to check out the world around her, and standing some when she is supported by a grown-up. she is in the 73rd percentile for weight and 75th for height!
oh and she is just as pretty as a peach to me.
something tells me...
scarlett is going to be just like me in that you can pretty much tell exactly what she is thinking by just looking at her face.
and i also think she might go for the low hanging fruit when it comes to getting laughs.
if scarlett were on toddlers and tiaras
her favorite past times would include being pulled up to a sitting position and sucking her thumb.
starting back to work
i go back thursday. (or thursdy if you’re my dad.) i’ve been pretty down in the dumps about it but today i started to feel my first moments of excitement. i mean i’m more sad than happy about it. but at least now i’m sort of happy. by the time i get there it might be a complete balance of happy and sad. and hopefully by next week, i’ll be mostly happy.
“Not a problem. Not a problem. Not a problem. Not a problem.”
Or
“Group Hug. Group Hug. Group Hug.”
Or
“black hawk. black hawk. black hawk.
Or my personal fave.
“Gwyneth Paltrow. Gwyneth Paltrow. Gwyneth Paltrow.”
These are the cheers my medela pump in style give me every night. They make no sense. But somehow they work.

Watchwarning. gratuitous cuteness.
ugh!
i just went through scarlett’s clothes and put away the summer ones. it pains me because she’ll never fit in them again. it’s not a money thing. it’s the fact that she is growing. i know it’s the only way but ugh. that’s all i can say about it. ugh. it hurts.
Two months
Whoa. I can’t believe it’s already been two months. Whoa. I can’t believe it’s ONLY been two months. The time has managed to fly by and feel like it’s standing still simultaneously. What a weird two months. What a great two months. What a hard two months.
Tonight I’m looking back and taking a little stroll down memory lane. You’re welcome to join me....
Texas Trip!
When the “hurricane” hit, Scarlett and I packed up and went to Texas. The “hurricane” turned out to be nothing much, but we had fun seeing family anyway.
Here we are meeting Grandpa Dad for the first time at the airport.
Traveling will really take it out of you.
Scarlett with her Peepaw.
I think Peepaw really likes Scarlett.
They like to take it easy.
Grab bag of recent photos!
This is a strange wintery dress made of summery material. Maybe it needs tights.
Daddy brought home this shirt. We got to open it and discover Scarlett’s future. Apparently she will be a game show host. Move over Bob Barker. What? Bob Barker’s already moved over? Hmmm. Weird.
Totally “girling” up her Longhorn Tshirt for the first Texas game of the season.

Smiles are good
we are “this” close to a laugh…oh i can’t wait!
