I was just browsing through my blog posts and noticed that I haven’t really written much about the most important thing in my life– my family! I want to be better about including more pictures of my favorite people and updating you on what goes on in our lives (it’s all riveting stuff 😉 ). This blog isn’t just to share my thoughts on motherhood and some cute outfit ideas. My hope is that it one day serves as a type of family journal/scrapbook for Olivia and future kids to read and know that their mom was actually way cooler than they think.
The other day I took Olivia to her 18 month doctor appointment and she was nervous and clinging to me like a little monkey as the doctor listened to her heart and examined her. And then she got a flu shot and my poor baby cried so much and I felt so bad that I asked her if she wanted some chocolate (don’t judge me) and in between sobs, she said, “yeah” in the sweetest little voice. So obviously, we went straight to CVS for some chocolate after our appointment.
And can you believe the next time we go back to the doctor is at her 2 year check up?! TWO YEAR checkup! Umm can anyone tell me where the time is going?!
My favorite thing about Olivia’s current age is how much she learns literally every. Single. Day. Every day it’s a new word, a new skill, a new funny little action. I’m in complete awe of this little person we created. And within the last couple months she started saying mama (before it was just ma) and I swear my heart melts every time I hear it. Even at the end of the day when I’m exhausted and all I want to do is get dinner on the table and she’s tugging at my pant leg saying mama up, mama up, I just can’t resist her sweetness! What is the one thing your child does that you just can’t resist??
Anyway, that’s the Livy Latest. As for me, I’m just [not so] patiently awaiting the arrival of cooler weather so that I can take the obligatory boots and fall leaves pictures and so I won’t work up a sweat as I drink my PSL. Yes, total basic bitch here and ain’t no shame in my game. 😉
Have a great day, friends!
