daddy love!

this blog is typically all about me and my (baby-daddy) mini, but there is most certainly another very important piece to this whole crazy life puzzle…so i just wanted to give a quick little shout out to the one who helped make this amazing little creature.  do they do maternity tests? we KNOW that she is adam’s kid, but we still aren’t completely sure she’s mine.  she’s as smitten with him as i am 🙂

DAMN those blue eyes…. this is some footage i captured when immi realized dad was home.  *heart gasp*

now let’s just hope daddy doesn’t kill mom for posting these pics.  thanks, and love you more than-a-fat-kid (aka me)-luv-cake.

teepee adventures

everyone needs a secret hideaway…ours just happens to be a lace teepee (auntie cassidy, not accusing you of anything, but this might have been your fault)!! it’s perfect for tea parties, telling stories, reading fairytales and of course, for mom, fun photo props.

we finally decided to use the teepee for more than an ubbi (diaper-pail) cover. since immi is baby genius and awesome at holding her head up, we did some quality tummy time IN the teepee! so. much. fun.

it is never to early to teach sharing, right? so, even though the teepee technically IS immi’s she was sweet enough to share her nook (AND spotlight) with her fur-sisters. who’s the cutest?  HA! trick question! they are all the cutest things on the planet.

our little squishy’s face isn’t quite so squishy anymore.  she is animated and smiley, and has a wonderfully goofy personality (who’d she get that from?)

(sorry, no super-duper gifs this post).

Three Months!

eeps! three months!  i can’t even handle it.  this makes me so happy and so sad all at the same time.  just look at that face, and you can see why.  my teeny little newborn(i miss her) is now a beautiful smiling baby (i just keep falling more in love with her).
i dont have true stats for you, since our next well-doctor visit isn’t until 4 months, but we came up with our own fun stats.
weight: last weigh in was at 11lbs 6oz
diaper size: no longer in the newborn size…size one it is!  
# of smiles/day from baby: 100
# of smiles/day from mom: 1 – she puts a smile on my face and it just is stuck there ALL day long
ounces of milk/day: 25
# of times a stranger stops us and tells us how cute our baby is: like a gazillion!
hours of sleep/night: 6-8 (could be more if we went to bed earlier)
number of piercings: 2 – yeop, we got our little one’s ears pierced.  we didn’t go to the mall, we had the pediatrician do it, so it was a safe and sterile place. she doesn’t even know they are there…so doesn’t fidget with them and they stay clean, so no infections.
little ladies legs are getting so strong.  as you can see below she is already pushing.  if she starts crawling already, i might just break.  i am not ready for it.  i can’t take how fast time goes with her.  

instant moments

i’ve said it before.  i love polaroids. they capture something that all my fun digital gadgets just can’t.  even blurry, out of focus and not well-framed, the images i get with polaroids always seem to amaze me.

my time to be able to spend 24/7 with imogen is quickly coming to an end… and i am really not handling it well.  i don’t want to miss anything and she is just growing and changing so ridiculously fast.

and yes, i am holding out the camera.  i don’t even know how i managed to actually get us in frame EACH time!  

these literally make my heart gasp.
