While we may have traded adult beverages for juice boxes, the true makings of a good party are still there: good people! We were so blessed to have our family and friends join us for Doster's second birthday party. It was the perfect combination of old friends and new friends, for Doster and us! After that was squared away, we ordered the invitations, along with a few other this, fr...

Monday, June 23, 2014. Dear Doster- 12 Months. Everyone warned me how quickly time would fly once you arrived. I hate to say it, but they were right. Each day I find myself holding our moments together very tightly! I’m making a real effort to stay in the moment with you, and it is very rewarding. You are such a cool customer. You laugh, you point, you crawl, you wobble, you amaze me! We had an amazing birthday party for you, but I think I will do a separate post on that one later. You are a pull-up mach...

Sunday, August 3, 2014. So, I've had this one written for weeks in the draft folder, and I can't remember why I never published it. I think. I was holding out to get some extra pictures and video from our parents. The few that I snapped on my phone will have to suffice for now. Here's to a Sunday night on blogger! Since it has been a few weeks since Doster’s first birthday party, I thought I would take a few minutes and jot down my memories before they fade even more. Ready for his party! My brother, Unc...

Wednesday, February 11, 2015. James and I LOVE waking Doster up in the mornings. We don't technically "wake him" ; he's usually playing in his crib. But we both really enjoy going to get him, playing with him in his crib for a few minutes, talking, maybe singing a song. all that fun stuff. Thursday, 1/1 Paci. Friday, 1/2 Rock (as in, rock me in that rocking chair, parents! Saturday, 1/3 Paci. Sunday, 1/4 Monsta' (is in cookie monster). Monday, 1/5 Go Gabba Gabba (as in the show, Yo Gabba Gabba!

Sunday, March 16, 2014. Dear Doster - 9 Months. The days are going by so quickly! I can’t believe you are already 9 months old. You still feel so new to me, but in a way it seems like we have been connected forever. We had a fun month and got to spend extra time together during ANOTHER snow day! This doesn't usually happen in South Carolina, buddy. That allowed us to spend extra time making some cute Valentines for your class. I felt like such creative mom for once! You were very good at facetime! I̵...

Monday, September 15, 2014. Dear Doster - 15 Months. You have stolen my heart and I think you will keep it in your palm forever. I feel like my heart could burst open because it is so full of love for you! It’s a bond that I’ve never experienced and won’t even try to put in to words. I’m constantly amazed at your sweet demeanor. You are so loving and happy. You usually only fuss at bedtime (some nights) and during school drop offs (more on that later). Avocado, Scrambled Eggs, Banana, Chicken Salad.

Thursday, May 15, 2014. Dear Doster - 11 Months. Another month is over, so hard to believe! This was month was amazing yet we had some more challenges. For a week straight you had trouble sleeping, lost your appetite, winced in pain, and were overall just pretty miserable. We could tell you wanted. To be better. It broke my heart. Luckily, we’ve turned a corner and you are back to being your pleasant baby-self. I missed my happy guy! Your buds at Avery's 2nd Birthday Party! After your nap, we headed out ...

Saturday, March 21, 2015. Well, I’ve fallen in love with Melbourne. No, not Melbourne, Australia (though, remind me to DVR those housewives too)- Melbourne, Florida! James’s childhood best friend, college roommate, fellow cute-nerd, Jason, married the smart and beautiful, Amanda in Costa Rica last month. They invited us to a beautiful ceremony and reception in Florida so we loaded up the car, and off we went! It actually wasn’t that bad! A little video of his first time…. Despite being late due. They cho...

Monday, January 20, 2014. Dear Doster - 7 Months. My little sweet potato! You are already 7 months old, and I am ridiculously in love with you. This month has been even more wonderful than the last (I have a feeling I’ll repeat the sentiment a lot! And I love being your mommy. Christmas with a baby was very fun but busy! We kicked things off with Dawkins Family Christmas. You opened your first present, and boy did you love the wrapping paper! I just love my family! You really liked the paper again. You h...
