Veronica Rose: 2 months

June 14, 2011

I originally got the month by month baby photo idea from Nicole of MakingitLovely. I thought it was such a fantastic idea to document baby’s growth this way. It will hold me accountable! 😀

I already shared with you her Veronica’s newborn photos. For her one month photo, I didn’t have these month by month stickers yet (thanks Carrie!). When I saw them, they were to cute and easy to use to pass up!

Oh and guess what?! My little Canon Powershot Camera broke last week. SO, we used the Royalty Program and traded it in for the Canon Rebel XS at a super discounted price! Excited would be an understatement. Felt like Christmas morning! I snapped this lovely pic of little miss Veronica Rose with my new toy:) 2 months has FLOWN by and I kiss her sweet cheeks hundreds of times a day to make sure I am soaking her up. She is such a wonderful baby. She is starting to smile every time we talk to her, and she even recognizes big brothers voice:) I count my blessings every day…

P.S. I almost forgot to announce the winner of the Mokkafiveoclock Skirt giveaway! ….#38 – Aspiring Kennedy!! Congrats! will be contacting you to claim your prize! Thank you to all who entered!

Moving.

When I mentioned it was a crazy week last week, this is one of the reasons why…

My husband accepted a job in Atlanta, and we are moving our little family from KS back to GA next month! Mixed emotions come with this move. Atlanta feels like home to us since it is where we got married and had our first child, and made many good friends….so we are excited to be back again. However, it is very difficult to leave my sister and her family:( We are very close to them and have loved having them as such a big part of our lives in the last few years.

But every chapter in life brings both trials and blessings. I am thankful for both these last few years, and looking forward to the next chapter and what it will bring!

I love that Bee wears whatever she feels like, and makes it look good! Adding bold color in either clothing or accessories is crucial to me in an outfit:)

If you follow me on twitter, you may have seen that I am looking for 5 more hours in a day. Anyone know where to find these?? Life just got a little crazy for me in the last few weeks! A good kind of crazy though:) Good thing I have two yummy kiddos that make my days full of adventure.

Nonetheless- Sorry for being MIA! Sometimes blogging has to take back seat burner…

What are you up to this weekend? In between enjoying the beautiful summer weekend I will be catching up on orders from the Good Cheer Deal (the vouchers sold out- wow!)

As you know, I absolutely love May (especially because there are no bugs yet!), but June is a blast! We started the month with a great Summer Evening Party my sister hosted last night, and will end the month with the celebration of my husband and I’s 3rd anniversary. Its going to be a good start to the summer! How are you bringing in the summer?

Happy weekend!!
