I am so excited, y'all! Gia's Pink Giraffe birthday party was chosen as a finalist for party of the month on the most awesome, famed blog of Project Nursery! Last I checked, we were in second place, behind by just 3 or 4 votes! So.... will you help us win by voting for her birthday party!? Here's how you can do that: Check...
I took these pictures tonight as I was holding Gia. Its Wednesday night, and she's always tired on church nights. As you can see, she didn't make it through her bedtime nursing session. (Hope she doesn't wake up hungry at 3 am!) Usually, I try to keep her awake as I'm feeding her so that I put her in her crib awake. But...
I made a quick little video that shows how I edited the weekly photos. So many people have asked where I got the onesies for the 52 weeks, but here's the secret: they're fake! Totally photoshopped. I just use a plain white onesie, then add the weeks in using Photoshop. If you are interested in doing a similar project but don't have Photoshop,...
Now that our 52-week photo project is over, I've taken a little time to think about what I might do differently if there is a next time. I love having all the weekly pictures to look back on and am so excited to make them into a book! I've also thought about creating a poster with the pictures, too. I'll be sure to...
Length: 28 inches Weight: She is 17 pounds, 3 ounces. Clothing Size: 12 months, with a few 9 month onesies that I still SQUEEZE her into. Fave Toy: She received some super fun toys for her birthday! Its hard to pick a fave this month as she is having a blast exploring them all! But if I had to pick, I think...
I cannot believe Gianna is one year old. We had to go to the doctor on Friday before her birthday because she had an ear infection. Gia now weighs 17 pounds 1 ounce, and grew an inch in just the past month. She is 28 inches tall now! That puts her in about the 12th percentile for her height and weight. Dr. C...
HURRAY! 52 Weeks old and this Photo A Week project is complete! I had my doubts about being able to do this project, but now that it is complete I can't believe how fast this past year has flown by. I am glad I was able to keep up with it! This past week has been so crazy with all the things Gia...
I think its quite serendipitous and appropriate that today's prompt is about body appreciation. You see, today is my sweet baby girl's very first birthday. And if conceiving a tiny baby, then cooking that baby, giving birth and recovering from the previous 10 months doesn't make you appreciate your body, nothing will. One of the many therapeutic exercises I had to do while...
So much has changed in just a year. I am amazed and humbled at the ways I have personally seen God move. Our baby girl, Gia was born one year ago today. On this morning last year, I was a bundle of nerves! We headed to my doctor's appointment just hoping and praying they would let me have the baby that day. After...
Ok, maybe its just me, but today's prompt: Create a Mascot, is a little strange. I don't think I'm creative enough to do that. Or maybe I've just been out of art therapy too long to come up with something. So... yeah. However, I did see a really cute mascot by another blogger who is a part of this Hungry for Change blog...
