"Mom, instead of a nap can I cuddle up next to you and watch you update your blog?" Absolutely.
Last weekend was pretty wonderful- off to the lake with friends. Moments of swimming, waterskiing, wakeboarding, boat riding, game playing, eating, laughing. Combining my amazing family with my amazing friends for a few days? Yes please. To watch both my family and my friends love on my little one extravagantly- to watch them play with her, hold her, make her smile, kiss her goodnight...I love this.
This weekend looks different- it looks like a date night with my man, sleeping in till 8 (thanks Anniston!)- looks like updating my blog with baby girl next to me, looks like just the three of us- resting, playing, soaking up time together. Time at home with the man that won my heart so many years ago, and with the babe that we fall more in love with everyday. Sounds pretty great.
She's eight months old. Eight months. What is my eight month old like? She's full of JOY. No shortage of smiles here. She's adventurous. Dive off the couch? Climb on the fireplace? Try to pull herself up on the dresser? Yep. Her hair is getting longer, a light brown color that will surely darken over time. She is strong and determined. She's funny. She's mischievous.
Family trip to Target.
Anniston has her times of the day when she only wants her mom...but in the morning? It's Dad time. They love to cuddle in bed. The other morning I set this smiling babe in bed with Dad while I went to get some work done...
When I went back to in to the room, this is what I found...cartoons on, both of them sound asleep.
The Bauer family is soaking up every moment of this amazing season. No Complaints Here!
