Wait, eight months was TODAY!?

Our little girl is eight months old today! We celebrated this milestone by playing in our own personal splashpark, aka the backyard. Goose splashed around in the whale pool, and Addie and I played in the Splish Splash Pool. She had helped me cook oatmeal this morning and decided her new favorite toys were the plastic measuring cup and metal measuring cups so they got to go swimming with us, too. Unfortunately, the Aveeno baby sunblock I used for Addie made her break out into a rash all over her chest, stomach, back, and neck. Way to go mommy! Because of this and also her being under the weather, we'll be doing her eight month pictures tomorrow!

Summa Summatime!!!

I pink puffy heart love summer time!! Our family is having a great time relaxing while enjoying every single day of summer. We have a great little schedule while Zac is working. Addie is in swim lessons every Monday morning, we jog with Liz in the mornings, storytime at Barnes & Noble is Wednesday mornings, and storytime at the public library is on Thursdays. We try to get out once a day, even if it's just a walk. Addie and I are very social; we can't stay cooped up for too long! A mom at swim invited us to mommy and baby yoga, but it conflicts with another storytime. What's a mom to do?


I can't help but feel sad that summer is almost halfway over. I was a wreck having to go back to work after having an entire week off for spring break. I have no idea how I'll go back after essentially having a second maternity leave. I desperately try not to dwell on it, but it still kills me. So, to everybody who told me it would get easier? It didn't.
