Or just the same randomness again. Sorry for more boring backyard pictures. That is basically the only place I can take these two crazy animals by myself. Well…we do venture to the front yard, Target & HEB. Going to any public play areas with a baby and a toddler going in two different directions doesn’t work with just 1 parent. I have tried it 2 times. Once at the Austin Children’s Museum (had to stay in the gated area) and once at Mia’s Thanksgiving lunch at school (DISASTER!). At least this time, we made it to the very back of our backyard. Mia is old enough now that she can sit on the big swing by herself, which means we go back there quite often now, by request of course.
And yes…..I am done with editing every single picture I take. It is pointless and exhausting. Especially when I only have 5 minutes to blog these days. I am actually liking the natural look though. Well, except for the snot. I DO edit THAT out. Who wants to look at that? Not I. So, here are some more RAW’s.

I’m happy with any photos you share!! Cant get over how fast they are growing! Hugs from Conroe Texas
Good to know we’re not the only ones stuck in the backyard!!!
I follow your blog all the time, and it always makes me feel better! I’m living the same life except with boys. They’re the same age and we constantly play in our back yard, luckily I live on the gulf coast so it’s warm every day. Feel free to email me if you ever want to trade horror stories!
My depression is going on day two now. Planning her first birthday party is killing me. I’m not even having fun doing it because my tears are making it hard to see the computer screen.

Gosh she is so beautiful! I feel for ya, they do grow up so fast! Wish my nieces were still babies. Hugs from Conroe Texas
Haha Nat! Me too. I actually typed the last two posts after two glasses of wine. That might explain my sappiness
You’ve had babies for two years it’s probably such a hard adjustment. I think you should just have another one! But really I know what you mean with my Cale. It’s so sad and seems to go by faster with the second one. I wish I could come over and we could cry with a bottle of wine!
Love the sweater, the pictures, the girl and you!
I am with you
……that my little baby is turning one in less than a month. The only way I can feel better about this is to take as many pictures as my time will allow so I can hold on to these precious moments. Even if it means nearly waking her from nap to open the curtains for pretty light.

What beautiful photos you will have to relive these memories. Hugs from Conroe Texas!
I’m right there with you. My baby girl turns one on the 20th and I can’t look at her without being a little sad she has gotten so big, so fast.
My baby is about to turn one next month as well. I totally understand the feeling. Time flies so fast and you wish you could just hold onto all of it…
On a side note…..I am in love with that blanket!! and yes, my youngest is 18 months and has turned into a little boy, no more baby looks
( 18 month mark gets me everytime, baby fever!!
Kylie enjoy your baby’s birthday.
Brooke: You are right, but will those memories involve bloomers & diapers
WAH wah! I’m still sad.
Tysha: That 6 month mark approaches quick! Enjoy it while it lasts.
Stunning photos! What a beautiful little thing.
Gosh beautiful pics!! I so know how ur feeling my 3rd baby turns the big 1 on saturday….im gutted. This year has just gone so fast. Im sure she didnt stay a baby for long……poor me lol
Johanna…You are such a good mama! Keep in mind, there are so many more wonderful moments to be had. Good thing you have all the pictures to cherish! Hugs!
Tysha have you been crying as much as me?
My tears are never ending.
So sweet. I know that feeling, too. My third baby is about to hit her half birthday and I swear I had her last week. Honestly, time seems to march just a bit faster with each child. So happy to see you soaking up and capturing those precious fleeting moments
payless!
where are her boots from?
She is sooo photographic..so beautiful!
