Farewell 2014. Hello 2015

Saturday, January 3, 2015

2014 was extremely good to us. We started off expecting our first baby, remodeling the most lived in room in our home [the kitchen], welcomed Bug to our family, celebrated her first holidays [4th of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas]. We have had a lot of laughs and some tears in between but if has most definitely been an adventure. It is so fun to watch Bug grow so fast and learn new things almost daily. We can't wait to continue this journey with her.
Our year in review via pictures pictures:

It has been a great year for all of us and as cliche as it sounds I honestly can't wait to see what 2015 has in store for us. Spencer and I also decided we weren't going to do resolutions but to just relax and enjoy our time together without any obligations or commitments and to focus on being there for Bug.

Christmas + New Years

Friday, January 2, 2015

I can't believe Christmas has already come and gone. This year has just seemed to fly by for us and here we are starting a new one. I hate to say it but we kept everything pretty low key for our first Christmas with Bug; I for sure thought we would get in way over our heads with the holiday. We spent Christmas Eve [all day] with my family and then did Christmas morning at home, Spencer's family that afternoon and were back home a little after dark.

We then made the trek the day after Christmas to Louisiana to visit Scott, MA and little E. I was so excited to see the babies together. I just had it in my head that they would talk together in baby gibberish and roll around on the floor together. For the most part that didn't happen. E sat up and Bug laid down most of the time. She loves tummy time and he doesn't and she is still wobbly sitting up for long periods by herself. She also thinks its funny to sometimes flop back while sitting up to have you constantly keep sitting her up. Its not, its a little terrifying. So we spent a long weekend with them and made the outrageously long trip back home [its really not that bad but Bug was in a mood and we made way too many stops so it took longer than necessary].

We did spend a quiet New Years Eve at home. We debated on whether to go out or not but decided it would be nice to stay home with Bug and ring in the New Year with her. She was still partying at midnight so by default we were still up. Usually if we stay in on New Years were out by 10 so it was kind of nice to see the New Year roll in.

6 months!

Monday, December 22, 2014

Our little girl turned 6 months.. that's half a year... let me try to even start processing that. She has developed the sweetest little personality and seems to be doing something new each day.

We decided that at her 6 month appointment we would go ahead and have her ears pierced and they even did them in the pediatricians office. She of course cried for a minute but was over it and then came the shots... such a little trooper.

She is doing so well on solid foods and has really liked everything with the exception of bananas. She hated bananas. Like gagged the whole time she was eating them. She is starting to sit up a little better on her own. Is rolling around on the floor like crazy. Still loves to be snuggled just as much as ever. Has formed an attachment to a lion/ cat/ satin rag... none of us can really figure out what it is supposed to be. Loves to stand up with assistance.
