    My Little Buffalo

My kid grew up at the beach.

I have a ton more pictures to share, a few stories, mostly just rolling around in the deliciousness that is the fact that I did NOTHING & it was SPLENDID for an entire week. Except party at a concert with Dr. Hottie (remember him? our pediatrician?) & his wife. But y’all.  My baby grew up [...]

10 Month Letter.

Dear Harrison, Today you are 10 months old.  This morning, you piped up a little too early for my taste, but in all honesty, I was ready to start the day the moment I saw your face peering over the rails of the crib.  We made a quick run to the grocery store & when [...]

How to not skin your knees.

Harrison is a MASTER crawler.  He first crawled in my hospital room after months of just…looking like he would crawl.  Then he took off.  Within three weeks he was pulling up, sitting down on his own, crawling, & as of this past Sunday, STANDING ON HIS OWN. I know.  & right now, he’s standing over [...]

We learned a lot this weekend.

We were pretty much the quintessential Renaissance family this weekend.  Doing everything, learning everything.  & I think I can speak for all three of us when I say…WE ARE EXHAUSTED! One of us learned how to stand. Two of us learned how to garden. & we learned that with the right paint, we actually enjoy [...]

Welcome to Hell!

Ladies & gentlemen, we believe that teething has arrived. With vengeance.  Wrapped with a red bow.  From Satan himself.

Houston, we have a sitter!

Ladies & gentlemen, we have an independent sitter!! He did it for a few moments at a birthday party today & then later this afternoon, decided to show off his new skill with wild abandon. Look, Ma!  No hands!!  & this cat toy is super-cool, too. Very proud of you, sweet little man!  (Nate, however, [...]

What I do at night versus writing.

While y’all have been pining away, wondering where I am and sending SOS’s through my inbox that say “WHERE ARE YOU, FEMALE?!”…look at how much my kid has grown!  Those long legs slay me. I officially stocked away all of his 0-3 month clothing last night.  You know, instead of sitting down & writing or [...]

Finally captured.

Someone call Father Merrin, stat.

It’s Blair versus the Six Week Growth Spurt. & I imagine this is what an exorcism feels like. Quite punctual, that growth spurt. Unfortunately, it is the only thing polite in it’s characteristics. Gone is my sleeping through the night child, who eats well & smiles. Instead, I woke up this morning (after very little [...]

At 5am this morning

that incredible sound heard ’round the world? A million hearts breaking as Harrison lit up the universe with his first smile.
