Here I sit, staring at my blogging program trying to decide what exciting news I should share first. See, this morning I woke up to find that I am one of six finalists in the Blog To Inspire contest I entered. Just last night I was telling Adam I didn’t think I would be chosen {and I may or may not have been pouting about it}. But I was wrong {oh how I love being wrong some times}! Here’s what YOU need to know:
Voting starts tomorrow {Dec. 4th} at 11am EST.
Voting ends Dec. 11th at noon EST.
I would love to have your vote {you could consider it your birthday present to me}. I would love to have your support. Please tweet about the contest, share it on Facebook, whatever you feel comfortable doing. And a big THANK YOU to everyone who commented on my entry. You helped me be selected as a finalist. And frankly, ALL of you help me be a better writer. The more followers I get the more I feel driven to provide you with quality content. Thank you for making this blogging thing so much fun and so rewarding.
So there’s that bit of exciting news.
But that’s not all. No, it’s definitely not all.
Last night,
my baby took her first step.
Two, in fact.
I immediately jumped up and spoke in a high pitched voice of excitement…promptly followed by crying.
My little baby is growing up.
She’s not a baby anymore. She’s a toddler. She toddles.
And yet, she’ll always be my baby.

Where’d this baby get these peepers?! From her mama of course! This is C. She’s my best friend’s baby. And I cannot get over how gorgeous her eyes are. This is one gal that will never be tempted to take Latisse {and really, nobody should be using that stuff for cosmetic reasons but that’s just my opinion}. Anyway…I just had to share this picture before I died of cute overload. Enjoy!

Lu has been able to hold herself in a standing position {when placed that way} for some time. That’s what she’s doing in the above picture. But today? Today she pulled herself to standing. I’d show you a picture but she fell on her butt as soon as the camera was on and ready {note to self: get faster camera}. I now have a sitting, rolling, crawling, standing baby.

When did your baby start walking?

Here's a shout out to my best friend, Kamis! She's in labor right now awaiting the arrival of her little baby girl! I haven't been this excited since Lucy was born! Good luck Kamis!

UPDATE: Baby girl has arrived! Many congratulations to her parents!!!
