Have Less, Experience More
I’ve had this post started for a very long time, and totally forgot about it! So, last September we had our family pictures taken, in the same spot we had our maternity pictures taken a year earlier. It was so sweet being in same spot, but with our baby girl on the outside! A big thanks to our wonderful photographer, Charlotte Sabo –
It’s such a busy time for us, as we have so many stops to make during the short couple days of Christmas celebrating – but Christmas morning at home with Milly and seeing her eyes light up as she came downstairs was the best thing. We shopped, we wore all the Christmas pajamas and outfits, we watched almost all the Christmas movies (more than once, hah! ), we wrapped gifts by the tree, went out to see Christmas lightings, and so much more. We went out to my mom’s after for more celebrating, and the adults got to have some fun of their own with the saran wrap ball my parents put together. Valentine’s Day was so sweet, we ordered Milly a new book and a magna doodle, and we had steak, prosciutto wrapped asparagus and sugar cookies.
I kind of miss having a monthly recap of how she’s doing, especially since she does so many cute things that she’s learning all the time, and that I don’t want to forget! She babbles a lot, but the top words we understand from her are nananaaaas (snacks), mama, dada, dog dog, uh oh, updoww (this means up, down, and open), tay-cow (thank you), night night, no, and yuh-youuu Loves: her doggies (chasing them around the house, feeding them, laying on them), her mama, dada & grandparents, coloring/ drawing, dancing/music, snacks, laughing, learning new things – too many things to name! , I think it’s the sweetest thing when she’s off in a corner reading to herself, a giant book laying across her lap.
2018 was our first full year with Milly, and it was a great one, but also very bittersweet because she has changed so much from the start of the year to the end of the year. We celebrated my 28th birthday in Chelan for the weekend – sipping mimosas in the hot tub with a view of the lake, doing the wine walk, and eating chocolate cake. Marty and I went to Walla Walla for our first weekend away without baby, and we missed the daylights out of her. My bestie and I went to Walla Walla for a long weekend & our annual same-age adventure.
