Another Year Older...

So. Today is my birthday. 27.

Normally, I'm not one to create or expect a huge amount of fanfare on my birthday. "Just another day," I've said before. But this year, I have a different attitude.

A birthday is a day to celebrate you, who you are, what you will become. A birthday is a day for possibilities.

So in that spirit, I've been thinking about what I hope 27 will be for me.

27 will be the year I hear my son say his first word (mama??).
27 will be the year I start my first novel.
27 will be the year I lose those last ten pounds (okay, okay, 15).
27 will be the year I relax, and stop racing some imaginary competitor to achieve more.
27 will be the year I travel abroad again.
27 will be the year I teach Bella how to lay down.
27 will be the year I run a 10k.
27 will be the year I celebrate my fifth year with my husband.
27 will be the year I learn to scuba dive.
27 will be the year I seize the day.


27. I like the sound of that.

Sitting Up!

Alright, so maybe he still doesn't have a single tooth in his head, but the kid can finally SIT UP!!

Messy Baby

So these Gerber teething biscuits are like his new favorite thing. He goes crazy for these things...he hears the wrapper getting opened and starts yelling and flapping his arms. He's like a little junkie, I swear!!

His face when we tried to take it away from him ;)
