I'm so busy and I have nothing to do!

Goofy smiles with Daddy

Have you ever felt like you were so incredibly busy that you actually avoid doing anything at all? That's how I feel about half the time. Call it overwhelmed, call it underwhelmed. Whatever you call it, it's my life.
First kids birthday party Hannah went to in the pretty dress Grandma made

It's been almost two months since I wrote anything! I know, that's a long time. Hannah is 8.5 months already. As every parent says, time just goes by so fast! When I rock her at night (yes, I still rock her, this is a no judgement zone) I actually snuggle her upright instead of cradling her because she is so dang tall! I kinda like it though cause I can kiss her head more often without waking her up.
My favorite Hannah and daddy picture from Easter

Since the last post miss Hannah was able to visit with Grandma and Grumpa. They were here for their yearly annual visit and as always, wore us out completely. There was lots of yummy, high calorie food, walking, driving and of course, drinking. There is never a vacation without drinking beer when my dad is around. That man knows how to unwind. My dad and Will even made it golfing for the second time ever and Will turned into a lobster after several hours without sunscreen in the hot Texas sun. The man is ghostly white and he should know better by now.

Lovin on Grumpa

Lovin on pizza dough (she doesn't discriminate)

Her favorite firefighters

Hannah has also been enjoying time with her Meemaw and Peepaw (otherwise known as our neighbors who adopted her as their stand in grandbaby since they don't have any). She also has had some fun with her favorite Austin firefighters, spent time exploring new play places in Austin, and has recently mastered the crawl. She is also quickly building up to standing on her own, lord help us!

my DIY carrier!

Our new favorite wrap. Yay for pretty colors!!!

I've been doing lots of babywearing and snuggling although since Hannah is a go-er she is resisting more and more. Hannah is going to assist Will and I in finishing our first 5k in a few weeks and she is also going to have her first long car trip to Michigan in a few weeks!
Fun germ filled play place!


She really loves swinging

On the business front, I have sold a handful of teething necklaces which I'm pretty excited about and have a custom diaper bag and a custom quilt in the works. I'm also working on a gift quilt of a good friend of mine who is a week past her due date poor girl. I'll share pictures of each of those soon but feel free to stalk my facebook page since I update that WAY more often (www.facebook.com/512cherrylane). I know, shameless plug.

In all my free time, I am on the internet way too much. I'm actually trying really hard to cut back and have discussed with other moms who agree that facebook is actually very addictive and is a hard habit to kick. I think I might need rehab! I digress. What I actually wanted to share is that I follow this super funny mom blog that you should check out. It's really funny, she just had her first book published and I actually snicker through every single post because they are cynical, true and illustrated with crappy pictures! It's called crappypictures.com.

Also, as I was uploading pictures I just realized that we have forever deleted the pictures on the good camera from my parents trip. Super sad face but at least we didn't take that many this round :-/

About Me

My photo
My husband, William and I moved to Austin in July of 2008. We own two chihuahuas and a sickly cat that will never die. We are proud homeowners in a very stepwives looking neighborhood and are friendly with almost all the neighbors (the ones we like at least). We have been blessed with one beautiful baby girl and have another baby on the way of yet to be determined gender.
