FLY FOR 8 HOURS?!
Oh lordy. I can feel the anxiety brewing now, and it's 3 weeks away! We're going to Boston for 9 days in April for Grace's baptism, and we are oh.so.excited! However, not so excited about the flying. We went previously in November for his sister's wedding, but that was when Grace was just a little baby! She was only 3 months old--and still loved to sleep on Mommy. Now, that is so not the case. I'm sure if she's sleepy enough, we'll get a little bit of sleep out of her. Oh gosh, okay. Anyways, so here I am--planning (doing what I do best!) for our trip. Making sweet Marianne a nice, extensive, list of goodies that Grace needs for our stay! So, what have you been up to lately? We've had all kinds of things going on! Mommy is having some sleepless nights (growth spurt/learning new things?), baby is crawling (backwards), and Daddy is torturing the dogs. Of course, Daddy is doing much more--but that's the first thing that came to my mind. As far as my sleepless nights, I'm actually okay with it. I'm surviving! Grace has started rolling over on her tummy, and enjoys sleeping that way. Unfortunately, she will wake up and can't roll back over! I'm not sure why, because that's what she learned wayyy earlier. Maybe the bed is too squishy? (Squishy the right word? Hm..) Anyways, it's pretty funny...because I've heard that babies practice their new skills while they're sleeping. And boy, is she practicing them! Once again, I'm going to go on a rant of how special it is to watch her grow. She's so funny! And has such a funny little personality, it makes me laugh. Somedays, she'll just be super calm and content and happy (maybe gets that from me?) and then other days she's also super happy, but hyper!, and loud!, and verrryyy expressive (must be from Daddy!) She truly is just a nice little blend of both of us, and I couldn't be prouder! So, last week I had several friends call me and say "well, hello Ms. Suzy Homemaker!"--turns out they had been keeping up with my little adventures lately, which include embroidering and cake-baking. I LOVE it! Both of them! When I was baking that damn cake, I was seriously obsessing over it. (Crazy, much? I think so!) Seriously, I would brainstorm different ways to make it work. And FINALLY! I came up with this...this little beauty is pretty much what Grace's baptism cake will look like. So proud, and not too bad for a 3 week baker!
Had to sneak in a little bit of this cutie pie! Love her!
Xoxo, have a great day everyone!

You are far braver than i am....8 hours on a plane...ive been having panic attacks hahah! WELCOME to the world of the mobile baby! HA! L allllways practices her skills in bed...a.l.w.a.y.s. BUT i will say when it was rolling over issues, i spent an entire day during her wake times putting her on her belling and cheering her on to roll over. The next day at naps and at night if she rolled over, i KNEW she could get back...at that point she just wanted me to come in, After the first nap, 2 minutes of crying after she got on her belly, she never cried again and now sleeps front, back, side..heck sitting up against the bumper pad hahahahah. just wait for the crawling, sitting, standing, L learned it ALL within a week of each other. It took 3 weeks, and things are finally starting to slow down. at least i got it all out of the way at one time? haha! She's to cute, and i saw the embroidery and i think I'm going to have to do some myself. homemaker is my new fav thing ever!! can't believe our girls are getting so big!! y'all have fun in boston!!!
