Pink, Passion, Picture Books, and Pretties!

I am pretty obsessed with this pink polish that I got a few weeks before Valentines. It's called Shorts Story. My pregnancy colors were That's Hot Pink (it's close to that one) and It's a Girl. I'm also fond of Dutch Tulip and Strawberry Margarita.

I love Christy Nockels' new song from Passion. It's on replay in our house...of course.

Molly Caroline loves books (hopefully reading will come easily to her and she'll love to read like her mama) and it thrills my heart to see her choose books to look at and hold correctly. 

Didn't my roses from my kindergarten sweetie open up beautifully? He told his mom that he had to give me pink roses. :)

Spring Fever!

This gorgeous weather just called for a little downtown stroll on Saturday! 

We tried on Toms, which are huge on MC's itty bitty feet!

After church on Sunday, we didn't go inside until dark. We hung out with neighbors on our back porch and Molly Caroline took a 3 hour nap. It was glorious!

As soon as I got home from school today, we headed outside! 

We have Spring Fever so bad!

Red and Pink Faves

I made this in a hurry! Probably should've done another coat of paint but love how festive it was on our front door!




Treats in the mail!

Whole foods!!



Mail again!

Helping make her first Valentine's!



Valentine's Day!

I loved our low key Valentine's Day! It started off with a busy, wild, but fun day in Kindergarten! One of my little boys insisted on giving me PINK roses! Love them...he knows me well!

I gave my Valentine's their cards. :) And cried over Molly Caroline's name on her cards from her precious friends!

Matty also knows me well. We've spent 12 Valentine's Days together now. Lately we've been more into non-traditional gifts and celebrating out early and staying home on the actual holiday. But this year I had a treat from Sephora and orchids waiting for me! Orchids were my Nanny Jane's favorites and now I always like to have them in the house. He is so thoughtful!

We had a candle lit dinner of steak, asparagus, TR mushrooms (that were amazing), baked potatoes, salad, and chocolate covered strawberries. 

After dinner we gave our girls their Valentines treats from us. :) Then played together upstairs.

Once our love bug was asleep, we changed our plans of watching a movie, and just watched another episode of our latest Netflix addiction, The Good Wife!

We fell asleep with the tv and every light in the house on! Love those kind of nights! 

Our night was perfect!

8 months old!

8 months old seems so big! Probably because we now know how quickly these months pass! Oh Molly Caroline, you are the easiest, sweetest, joyful, content baby ever! 


You love to laugh at everything...just like mommy and daddy! 

You are moving everywhere. You move around by pulling yourself and rolling. It's precious!

You talk and babble very loudly. Sometimes you shriek, and lately you've been whispering some. You say a lot of consonant sounds...dada, mama, nana, baba, papa, bye bye. I hope I'm not missing any.

You love to jump! You "bounce" and kick your legs so hard when anyone picks you up. 

You do this thing that we call swimming. We're convinced that you're going to be a great swimmer! It's hilarious! 

You love your baby food! And Mrs. Pam always comments on how neat of an eater you are. I agree!

You LOVE your toys and immediately lean towards them when we pass them.

You also love sitting in your nursery and playing. That makes my heart glad.

You nap well and you are sleeping through the night again. You had about a week where you would wake up once, sometimes twice and you've spoiled us since 4-8 weeks and we weren't used to it anymore!

You like sitting in your high chair and eating baby food, but you smile and laugh when you even sneak a glimpse of your bottle. 

Your Lolly doll that was mine when I was a baby is hands down, your absolute favorite toy ever. That's so precious to us!

We love you so much honey bunch. Our hearts just burst with joy every time we are with you. And you're all we think about when we're apart. We still can't believe someone so precious and perfect  could be ours. Thank you, Lord. We are so, so grateful. 








Project Mania

Nothing makes me happier than a Saturday project! We have plenty more to come too.

My Valentine banner is finished and super cute!

Molly Caroline's high chair is finished...and beautiful! I love how it turned out!



I framed this print in my Bargain Bazaar frame.

I finally changed out my Christmas chalkboard to Vday! Matt sings those lyrics to Molly Caroline all the time!



Now...off to work on a few little Valentine projects with my girl!!

Snow day!

I had everything set out and ready...just in case we saw some snow flurries on our South GA snow day!

I was so excited to be off with my baby for the day! She looked precious in her snowball pjs.

The neighborhood girls came over to play!

I got some Valentine crafting done.

And enjoyed a little midweek relaxation.
 
Our break from the real world was just what we needed!
