the georgia dress.

the mini me will be making her first trip to athens this fall...

so of course, her mama decided to make a "georgia dress." a little red & black frock for her to wear while cheering on those georgia bulldogs.

recently...

17 [WOW-SEVENTEEN] months ago today, my sweet baby emerson reese came into this world. 17 months ago today, she was a 6 pound 8 ounce little peanut that I desperately wished had come with an instruction manual!

and now...17 months later, the mini me is all. over. the. place. it was like she just woke up one morning and decided she was over her scoot/crawl method of transportation.  these days, i think the only time those little feet of her's aren't moving is when she's asleep!  constant entertainment/exercise to say the least. 

her feet aren't the only thing moving these days...so is that little mouth! she wakes up talking, goes to bed talking, and even [like her mama] jabbers in her sleep. she's like a little parrot...[note to self, don't say anything that doesn't need to be repeated.] and with football season only 2 weeks away, you better believe i've already taught the mini me to say "go dawgs"! f.y.i. the dress she's wearing/modeling in the pictures is one that i had just finished making for someone. orange and blue are definitely not our colors. :) 

friday fanny.

happy weekend!

"bye-bye"

if the mini me wasn't an only child...

genius!

now, if I only knew how to play the guitar....

SHE

is clothed in

STRENGTH

and

DIGNITY

and she

LAUGHS

without fear

of the future.

day trip to destin.





I seriously thought Emme was about to skip walking all together and go straight to a "Florence Griffith Joyner- style" sprint!

 

So, right after the first picture was taken the mini me and I, armed and dangerous with the stroller that likes to steer itself, rushed to the nearest kids store. swimsuit. check.

straps that are two sizes too big. check.

the mini me striking a pose before she scooted her fanny right smack in the middle with all the "big kids." 



mommy had to go in after her...and got to try and dodge screaming seven year olds in the process.



she's fearless.

that smile is priceless.



and...........we survived!





The mini me gets her first haircut!

Please notice who's holding the iphone and who's holding the "pappy"...yeah, she's spoiled.
