in the moment > hear like a rabbit

With Christmas quickly approaching, I realize my baby cakes hears everything! She is no longer in the "oh she doesn't understand" phase.  She's in the repeating phase. She's in the nothing gets past her phase.  She's in the mommy really needs to watch what she says (!) phase...

............!!!

in the moment > monday library story time

Mondays are so super busy at the library that they have to hand out tickets to get into story time.  We hope for that ticket, although not getting one means the computers are all hers!

my lucy > nat & julia

 I gave a sneak peak earlier - but I can't get over it. She made a killer flower girl.  

Congratulations Nat & Julia!

in the moment > you need checkup?

These photos were taken couple weeks ago... but with the wind and rain today, the checkups are back on!  I love this girl.  I'll give you a second to soak in those lips and that stare :)

replay > nathan reich

I have art on my mind these days...needing much of it on my walls.  Oh. So. Stale. After I heard this song, I played it a hundred times.  But this time, I realized all the things I love in this one frame. Hope you enjoy all it has....

my lucy > she thinks she is one of them

This is one of the things I love about California.  The sound of the geese migrating.  It reminds me of home.  We didn't get this in Vegas...  Also, if you decide to run like this - plan on running through a ton of poop (once she started running, there was no turning back - so we made the most of it)!

my lucy > planes & donuts

my lucy > beauty from beginning to end

in the moment > dinosaur remains

outing > m&m heaven

my lucy > living in a casino hotel isn't so easy with a 2 year old

Her morning Hot Milk.  Yes, it needs to be hot.  Always.  Check out her hotel performance here.

move me > imagine dragons > on top of the world

This is how I feel RIGHT NOW!!!!! (I hope this feeling lasts....)!

in the moment > her favorite spot

Except this time she's not cooking or eating - I see a future here....except in the future, I'm not sure that Papouli will be tops on her speed dial.

thru her eyes > those eyes, those lips

Pretty good at this selfie thing.

replay > milky chance

I hear this song on the radio - the little I have it on the pop station.  I never turn it.  Now I hear the lyrics and dig it even more.  Hope you enjoy too! Maybe find yourself dancing in your seat a bit.....

my lucy > my not-so scarey bird

 

me: "Lucy what do you want to be for Halloween"?

lucy: "a bird."

me: "What about a Bird Doctor"??!! (Thinking she's been so into her doctor kit - also, let's shake things up at least a little here)...

lucy: "noo...just... a bird".

me: "ok".

in the moment > the last picking at the pumpkin patch

After what seemed 2 weeks of fighting an infection in her mouth, then a long wedding weekend in Vegas, we finally made it to the pumpkin patch.  Slim pickings, but we made due.  More photos to come...of the costume, the pumpkin patch, the wedding, and of course our check-ups.  Until then - Have a Happy and Safe Halloween!

in the moment > stare down before the launch

It's the small things that just never grow old....

my lucy > legos in the light

replay > kaleo

Check out a completely different sound by kaleo here. A bit more upbeat for you in need - louie likey.

in the moment > mesmorized by lucy

in the moment > i spy red, yellow & teal

in the moment > a moment of thought

 

While Kermit rested she looked to the wind for answers.... ;)

my lucy > lunch with kermie

She was very concerned that Kermit was not feeling too well...

move me > time has lapsed....but she still is the same

My sweet Lucy - Merry go Round 1 from Louisa Garrett on Vimeo.

Time sure has gone quick. I'm taking our sweetie cakes to the doctor today. Another issue in that mouth of hers. I'm sure some day she will have lips that the world adores...I guess it's true - it hurts to be beautiful.  Yet, somehow she still finds time in between to joke, laugh, and play! (Look close at this video - her lip is the size of texas) Really, where has the time gone?

in the moment > noni noni in mommy's bed

If I give her the option, she always chooses mommy & daddy's bed.

in the moment > planes, blimps & helicopters make her happy

One rough day filled with tears (yes, both of us) followed by a day of perfection.  We stopped at the local airport to enjoy a bag of peanut m&m's as the vintage planes took off and landed during fleet week. She said she wants to be a helicopter pilot when she grows up.  Maybe someday she can fly me around the world...
