I am so indecisive. I’m trying out this new header to see if I like it better. Thoughts?
Happy Friday, dear reader. What are your plans? Michael and I are getting ready to spend a lovely weekend in, watching our twice-yearly, world-wide church conference. It’s a great excuse to stay in our jammies all day and make something special to eat. I can’t wait!
Let’s get to it, shall we?
1. Sophie is a swiper. Big time. It’s usually fine at home (though there are certain things we don’t let her touch or handle), but it gets a little embarrassing at church when she swipes all the other kids’ snacks, drinks, and toys. We do our best to intervene and to show her what sharing might look like, but the poor other babies her age (almost all boys) take the brunt of her swiping. Oy.

2. I love bed head and berry face. That’s all.

3. Sophie took her first steps this week (and they were totally unprompted!) Out of the blue, she took three steps forward, then grabbed my arm and kept going. I haven’t gotten many steps out of her since, so I think we’re still a while off from full walking, but the progress was SO fun!

4. In that vein, Sophie’s been doing lots more standing. The other day, she picked up her ball and lifted it right over her head. She thinks she’s so buff. (She is.) She also got two more teeth!
5. Lastly, I’ve been experimenting with shooting in manual mode this week. This is a really big step for me. As often as I take pictures, I still don’t know that much about photography. I’ve been reading a great book by Nicole Hill Gerulat. It’s fantastic and has really been helping. I have hope that within a few months I’ll be exclusively shooting in manual (fingers crossed!).
*psst! Don’t worry, this recipe is coming Monday
Happy weekend!

I love this blog. Thank you. I love watching Sophie grow up each week.
LOVE the new header. And the picture of the true loves…even if Sophie swipes his stuff.
way to go on the first steps!!! Maybe Barrett and Sophie can encourage each other along!
I recently discovered your blog and just love it! Great recipes, adorable pictures, sunny attitude! And I have to ask, where is that beautiful bedding from?? Love all the bright colors in it!
Catherine – It’s from Pottery Barn (and it’s still available!). I LOVE it. It was everything I’d ever dreamed of in bedding. It’s great!

The new header is great but I LOVED the last one. I loved all of the colors. They are just perfect colors and well, I liked seeing more of them. That is my 2 cents though
She walked! This is such a huge exciting time!
The new header looks terrific. The baby girl even more so!
