I wholeheartedly plan to retire at the beach. It has to happen. I love it there uber much. Uber = more than alot. Jemma and Mama celebrating 10 months! Sand loving baby First touch of a Pacific wave :) Ocean kisses Born to be at the beach!
For your viewing pleasure … my sweet little she sock monkey.
I know I’ve been going on and on about Jemma’s teeth. But between the rough bedtimes, interrupted nights and pitiful moans of a hurting girlie I can’t help but show off how her teeth are progressing. They are peeking out more and more each day and now that the pain is gone she loves smiling […]
The more mobile Jemma becomes the less time I have for quiet activities – also know as blogging. This is the season I’m in an rather than fight the constant go-go-go, I’m embracing it – camera in hand … On the rare occasion when she isn’t crawling and standing, Jemma still loves to be wrapped […]
My dear Jemma turned 9 months old on July 2nd. And – my oh my – I’m completely head over heels in love with this little darling. I’ll apologize now for the swarm of pictures to follow. It’s really hard to pick a few favorites when she is so busy with her expressions and movement. […]
Little Miss coyly shrugged her shoulders at me right after this picture.It’s like she said …Hey Mama, why are you always pointing that black rectangle at me? And my answer is …Because I can’t get enough of your sweetness! Love you to bits, little Jem! P.S. Can you say BLUE EYES. omg. Swoon.

Lovie dressed up in her fanciest yellow clothes for her Aunt Katie’s Master’s graduation. Before heading out for the almost 3 hour ceremony which she did surprisingly well at we took a few pictures. The rest of graduation and Dominic’s birthday celebration are on my Mom’s camera, so you’ll have to hold out for those […]
My Little Lovie … You have blossomed this month! Your personality is captivating and your movement is endless. You laugh, smile, wiggle and on your 8 month birthday eve you started to … CRAWL! Ah! It’s hard to look back at the last month and summarize I’ll you’ve done – its been very busy, just […]
I had published this last week, but it looks like it never posted. Oh, blogger … are you still on the fritz??? Our week has been instagrammed!You know, like googled or facebooked — anything made via instagram. I was home with Jem on Monday and Wednesday and it made for a lovely, swift week at work. Two […]
This is our last no nanny week. We definitely miss her, but we’ve had lots of fun with our hodge podge schedule too. I was off work on Monday, Daddy stayed home today and I’m off again tomorrow. Last night we all huddled in the bathroom for a little splish splash bath. Jemma is ADORING […]
