around the house...

i de-babyproofed our living room! the coffee table is back, we have a place to put our drinks and rest our feet. this makes me both happy and a tiny bit sad.



my big girl in one of her favorite spots, snuggling with hee-haw. isn't this chair fantastic? i got it here.



no it's not cold enough for this hat yet. this was an out take for a shoot for the fall southern flourish. keep your eyes peeled... it's coming soon!

parks and pigtails

let me start with a confession. i do not care for pigtails on humans over the age of 9. double digits= no pigtails. however, nothing is worse than adult pigtails unless they're tiny and close to the neck. there, i said it. with that out of the way... matilda recently donned her first pair of pigtails and i couldn't love them or her more.




tah-da! we have loved going to the park. matilda is so daring, trying to climb on everything and she loves the swing. it is quite hilarious when she goes pretty high in to the air and begins to say, "mama.mama.mama."

23

these tiny toes are 23 months old tomorrow. in one month matilda will be 2. how is this possible? i gave her her first pedicure over the weekend. i have mixed feelings about this. my heart aches that she sat still so i could do it. my heart breaks when she squeals and says "pinkie toes!" regardless i can't stop looking at how cute they are.
