15 Months & Going.....

Well it's really more like a 15 and a half month update on Sweet Mary Stewart!
We were supposed to have our check up last week but due to the ice it's been moved to next week.... I do think she is weighing in around 27 pounds!
The past few months have been so fun and full of adventures!



She enjoyed her first pony ride at 13 months!
Mary Stewart continues to LOVE books! She particularly loves any with animals! I love to listen to her "read" as we drive down the road!




At 14 months, Maggie Dog came upstairs to live with us!



Mary Stewart has very much enjoyed our new addition! I think Mary Stewart is growing on Maggie too!



We have become insistent on feeding ourself! This has taught me patience and that it's ok to change clothes several times a day! It's crazy to think she is beginning to show some independence.



Hair!!! Mary Stewart's hair is finally growing! Here are some of her latest styles!



Pigtails!!!!



Taking after Pebbles!
Right now I'm trying to figure out this recent crying at nap & bedtime! This isn't like Mary Stewart at all! Usually you grab a pie & a lovey and are catching the zzzz's. I am hoping this is a phase that fizzles quickly! Hearing you cry in some ways now is so much harder than when you were little!
We are having so much fun watching Mary Stewart grow!
I am constantly in awe of what a sweet privilege it is to be a mom!

Snowmageddon!

Well if you have watched any news lately you know Atlanta is under a blanket of snow & ice! I would not want to EVER live anywhere, where snow and ice are a common occurrence, but will take the excitement a few times a year.
On Sunday Mary Stewart & I decided to stay in North Georgia with Matthew's parents to increase our chances of a definite snow in! In anticipation of snow on Sunday I searched for "snow gear" for Mary Stewart: pants, boots, mittens. I had no such luck. It seems toddler snow gear is a rare commodity.
We woke Monday morning to no less than 6 inches of fluffy white powder! Mary Stewart LOVED being pulled on her sled by PaPa. Each time I tried to take her off, she cried! She would cry out "Weeee!" every time the sled took off! If her sled was stopped for a moment for a photo opportunity or for us grownups to catch our breaths, Mary Stewart would bounce up and down as if to say, let's geaux!!!

I'm not sure who loved the snow more Mary Stewart or Maggie?

It was so fun to watch Maggie romp through the snow! She snoozed by the fire for the rest of the day!
Today is day 2 of being snowed in, and it looks like it may be all week! Good thing we are well stocked on firewood, popcorn, hot chocolate, movies and books!

Stay warm!!

Pigtails!

While spending the day with Dee Dee, Mary Stewart ended up with these......






I think she is absolutely adorable!!!
