If you’re local, don’t sleep on this one. 😋

Today would have been my friend Cathy’s 53rd bir Today would have been my friend Cathy’s 53rd birthday. Unfortunately she’s not here to celebrate because she died suddenly at age 49. I think of her often … every Mother’s Day because we spent most of them together since her husband worked weekends … when I discover a new food adventure (we once did a day long donut crawl) … when I’m sharing a special time with my kids knowing that her then-11 year old is growing up without her. Before she passed, I always appreciated every day, but since then, even more so. You never know what the next day can bring, so relish in the sunshine, surprise rainstorms, making wishes over railroad tracks and all the wonderful randomness life can throw your way. Don’t waste a single second, say yes, live on the outskirts of your comfort zone, laugh often, tell people you love them, give eight second hugs, and squeeze every ounce of joy you can out of life. Do it for the people who can’t. ✨

Meet Sporty Spice

September 24, 2008 · Photos

Madeline has been working very hard the past few weeks, not content enough to know how to crawl like a champ and sit ramrod straight.  No, not her.  For the past two weeks, she’s been pulling herself up to stand, and then since last Friday, she’s been tentatively going hands-free for a moment or two.  Yesterday, when I took her to the office, she took one step on her own.  Today, two.  Every time I see her standing up, I tell her to sit down.  She’s so not listening.  Ignoring her mother now must be training for the years to come.  And now when I go to set her on the floor, she makes her legs super-stiff and won’t bend them to sit.  “I’m going to stand, darnit!”

I am so not ready for her to be walking already … only problem is, I don’t think she cares.

Two Hands

One Hand

One Step at a Time

Fussy Pants

*Disclaimer: I promise I did not torture her here. She was mad because I took away something unstable that she was using to hold herself up.  Bad mother.  Bad mother.

    Look at her! Cute outfit too!

    My nephew’s daughter is 6 months old and she has decided to pull herself up on furniture so she can start following her 2 year old sister. Yikes!

    Way too cute…but you know, I think there’s a time when all kids ignore their mothers. I hope this doesn’t last for too long.

    Wow! Evan is just now starting to walk & he’s 15 months old. I guess he listened when I told him that Mommy was a-okay with him waiting to walk. :) They grow up so fast!!!! She is such a cutie!

    Wow. Walking at 7 months? I don’t have kids, but that seems early to me. My niece is over 1, and she’s not there yet!
