14 Months of Anneliese
It’s so cliché but my little girl is a ray of sunshine. She’s quick to smile and she can brighten an entire room with her sweet voice. This past month she has grown and blossomed so much. She’s giving me kisses and hugs, and she’s even learning to blow kisses so that the next time… Continue Reading

Barefoot and Pregnant in the Kitchen–Week 9-10

13 Months Today
Today, my little girl turned 13 months old. I don’t know how much longer I’ll do these monthly updates, but I’ll try. I like having a date to remind me to write about her. We started the morning with lots of cuddle-nursing. Then Anneliese played for a bit. I put some toys in my bedside… Continue Reading
Barefoot and Pregnant in the Kitchen–Week 7
So I’ve been pregnant, and you’ve known about it for weeks, but I haven’t updated the blog at all. So this one will be a little catch-up-y. I’ll try to update each week after this. I took these pictures at week 5, toward the end of the day. This is clearly bloat, not uterus. It’s… Continue Reading

5:56pm Anneliese’s First Anniversary of her Birth Day
12 months ago was the hardest day of my life. And the most rewarding. In the first moment I held you in my arms and looked into your eyes, my heart swelled in my throat and I felt a different kind of love than what I ever knew was possible. I still feel this love… Continue Reading
Anneliese’s 11-Month-Day–A Day in the Life
Every month I write a little update about what Anneliese has been learning or doing or anything that’s new. I think this past month has been a little bit of a lull, rather than an explosion of growth. Other than a seventh tooth that just showed up in the last few days, things have been,… Continue Reading
9 Months Today
My baby girl is 9 months old today. We weighed her on the bathroom scale the other day and she’s only 14.5 pounds. Little girl! But she is growing so much in other ways. She signs “milk,” “more,” “potty,” “finished,” waving hello and goodbye, and most recently “diaper” and “want.” At first she was using… Continue Reading
