Walking around the neighborhood is...


HARD


WORK!

I've been walking 2 miles everyday around the beautiful neighborhood I live in.  I am very fortunate to live in an area with historic homes and tree lined streets. However, I'm even more fortunate to have a great partner to "walk" with me. A few days ago I put Reese in her stroller without being in her car seat, too.  She has really enjoyed being able to look out and see what's coming ahead of her. Midway through our walks she falls asleep and by the time I return home this is what she looks like. Mommy agrees walking around the neighborhood is HARD WORK!

Getting Ready to...

Eat REAL food...

Sitting in her highchair for the first time. She was so HAPPY to be up high like us!

Crawl...

Getting stronger everyday!

Steal hearts all across the world...

Look at that smile...melts me!

Now, I just need to get myself READY for the changes ahead. TEAR!

Rewind to the beginning...

There she is growing in momma's belly...although at the time we didn't know it was a SHE!

AND...There she is moments after making her grand entrance into the world. I am guessing it was a tough trip from her hand gesture!

Month 1..."WHEW" is all I have to say about that. It was touch and go there for awhile...ONLY kidding!

Month 2..."Better, but I still hadn't found my mothering groove!"

Month 3..."I FINALLY found my mothering groove. Now I must return to work. Go FIGURE!"

Month 4..."My favorite month by far! She's talking, smiling, laughing!"  I love her so and can't wait to see what happens next!
