‘ a portrait of logan, once a week, every week, in 2013 ‘

i found myself in a surreal moment this past weekend while strolling through the neighborhood alongside my sister. we’ve done it a zillion times before, however this particular time we were pushing our littles in strollers while discussing breast pumps and sleepless nights. for a quick second i paused in panic and then a moment later i smirked at how perfect everything’s actually fallen into place. we used to pull each others hair out and battle over clothes, but today i can say we’re the bestest of friends and i couldn’t imagine life without her. i’m totally stoked to not only be bringing up babes side-by-side but more so at the thought that one day these little girls may be as tight as sisters.

this girl is so close to walking it has me all sorts of weepy. to me it’s a milestone that tags my baby as grown up and in a perfect world she’d live on my hip forever. i haven’t pushed her one bit, but it’s probably time to embrace it and cheer my girl on.

currently thinking about: drue baby, who still happens to be in the nicu, and getting my hands on her the moment she’s brought home. sweet little thing is just too sleepy to eat all on her own.

currently anticipating: a weekend getaway to the big apple. a certain important brunette doctor has a conference and a certain baby daddy has a birthday. its been way too long since our last rendezvous. i’m ready to hit the streets come morning and explore the day away. now the question is ‘to bring or not to bring the mini.’

currently scheming: some interior redecorating. i’ve caught the ‘eh’ where nothing seems satisfying. i blame it on the cold winter months cooped up inside (all day long). i’d love to empty house and change it all, but…been there, done that, won’t do again. my heads spinning with ideas.

currently wearing: long locks. the longest in all my existence. some days too long for the chubby fingers that get all tangled up in it. contemplating a major trim.

currently crafting: with my needle and thread. after months of churning out party decor, i’m taking some time to quietly unwind. my evenings are spent squinty eyed, under the light, nuzzled in the crook of the sofa. it’s cathartic and i love it. and i love my current project even more!

a new love

my heart grew a teeny bit larger last night. ok, that’s a lie, it down right exploded. i was fortunate enough to stand along side my little sis and her husband as their teeny sweet babe entered the world. it took me back to a place that felt like just yesterday. the pure happiness and raw love in their eyes is something i’ll never forget. little miss drue rose has forever changed this special duo. she’s a lucky lady to call these two her parents, as i’m a blessed auntie to call all three of them my family.

so, this is what its come to. slouched, sideways headband, sans smile. she’s over it. i on the other hand, am not, and can’t believe there are only two months left to this first year. this months ‘i want to remember forever’ list…our transition to the convertible carseat and how its made traveling a breeze. no more uncomfortable whining. instead, the most adorable reflection of a little head leaning forward glaring out the window. logan’s obsession with her stuffed ‘friends’ and her desire to strategically place an extremity in her left hand and drag them throughout the entire house. her fascination and adorable interaction with the other littlies at the play gym. and last but not least, her two top chompers that have just barely broken through her gums that i spy every time she smiles.

the flurries began friday night as we drifted off to sleep dreaming of a white winter wonderland. flash forward to saturday morning…nemo blew through and left little to be desired. that didn’t stop us from showing our girl a good time. she was serious as usual and had little to say. at this rate she may not see her first blizzard until next year.

inspired by one of our favorite bloggers, we’ve decided to compare notes on a monthly basis in hopes of staying connected with each other and sharing a bit of our more personal side with you. here goes…

currently wearing: layers. preferably the striped kind. with recent temperatures in the teens a girls gotta lay it on thick for those brisk commutes to and from the office.

currently obsessed with: yarn pom-poms. i know, weird, right!? it started with a garland and then tree ornaments and then present trimmings and on and on it goes. it’s currently out of control.

currently watching: girls. i’m late to the scene but i’m catching up at lightening speed. digging the raunch and vicariously living the single city life through these four cats.

currently reading: i can’t tell you the last time i picked up a book. free time and i are no longer friends. however when we do rekindle, i usually find myself curled up in bed while everyone else is fast asleep, ipad in hand. these days i prefer to catch up on my blog girl crushes (called out over there in the sidebar). these mamas are totally inspiring, down to earth and make me feel like i’m not the only one out there. if only we could be friends in real life.

currently loving: my kid. sometimes so hard it makes my stomach hurt!

what are you currently up to?
