Baby Update – 11 Months

Ellie has gotten so big and changed so much over this last month. Still can’t believe she’s almost 1. She’s still the sweetest little thing, is super sensitive like her mama, and is just overall a great baby. I promise if I had complaints I’d say them so you all don’t think I have the most perfect baby that ever lived or something, but seriously, she’s just an easy going girl. Of course I’ll have days where I am ready to pass her off to Daddy right when he walks in the door and days when I just need to be alone kid-free. So I am normal, I promise.

Anyway, I love this picture of her.

Ellie Waving

She was actually waving at her sister as she was coming down the slide. She loves her big sister so much and it was the cutest thing ever. And her cute little dress is from my sister–so sweet right?!

She makes many faces…

She isn’t walking yet, but standing up everywhere and thinking she can balance but isn’t quite there yet. I suspect it will be any day. :)

She made her way over to the little outdoor roller coaster and discovered a puddle of water during our little photo shoot.

Then Emma came over and joined the fun.

And look at this next pic.

Both of my girls smiling AND looking at the camera at the same time?! Miracles do happen.

I guess that’s about it! This year has literally flown by. I really need to figure out her birthday party so I guess that’s the next update you will see from me. :)

And thanks for letting me chronicle this 1st year with you all. I know it’s not decor related but my kids are such a huge part of my life and I just love talking about them and showing them off. And it’s not every week that I do it so I think on occasion it’s ok, and it’s what feels right to me. And you will finally see her nursery soon and I’m so excited to show you all. It’s one of my favorite rooms I’ve ever done.

xxoo,

Decorchick!

    Enjoy this time. As you suspect, it passes so quickly. My two baby girls are now 24 and 22. It seems like yesterday they were cuties playing in the back yard.

    She is gorgeous. I love that shot of both girls – I’m thinking blow that bad-boy up and frame it! Or maybe just a Christmas card? LOL

    They are so beautiful and love the curls on the oldest little.

It is hard to believe that so much time has gone by, isn’t it? They grow so quickly. Don’t be concerned about posting about your children – they’re a huge part of your life! I enjoy reading it all! Looking forward to seeing her first birthday party! Hugs, Leena

This is what happens when you go to the neighborho This is what happens when you go to the neighborhood petting zoo at Christmas to see the baby goats.🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤪

2 labradoodle puppies were NOT on my 2026 vision board, but here we are.🥰

How could you NOT with these gorgeous colorings?! A red and blue Merle are so unique, and they are the sweetest!🐶🐶

It was my first time going with Randy to one of hi It was my first time going with Randy to one of his gigs. This wasn’t just any gig though. It was a very special wedding for a beautiful couple.❤️

And after witnessing firsthand what all he does for events like this, I have a new appreciation for what he does because it is a LOT.🤯

From loading in setting up three PA systems in 3 separate areas, then immediately switching gears to performance mode and playing ceremony music + sax, dinner music + MC’ing, then reception DJ’ing + sax. It was really pretty freaking mind-blowing to be honest. And then you have to tear it all down! Talk about a full day (I felt hungover the next day and I don’t even drink), but if you are in the entertainment business you get it. And he does this multiple times a month!

So many moving parts, and being flexible when you need to switch gears at the last minute, and he handles it with so much ease. That’s why he’s the professional at his craft.🫶

I was just there more as his emotional support person, but would love to do more events with him where I’m actually useful. 🤪Maybe I’ll learn to wrap up cords the right way one day to his liking, but that’s doubtful. 🤣

It was the perfect new year’s day and can’t wait to do it again!❤️

Congrats @claudine.said and @chefaustinsimmons it was a JOY witnessing your special day.

3 years without Daddy and Pawpaw💔 Does life mo 3 years without Daddy and Pawpaw💔

Does life move on? 

Yes, but not without a hazy fog lingering over you that never fully lifts.

Not without the deep ache in your heart longing for more time.

Not without reaching for your phone wanting to call or text.

Not without the family gatherings knowing someone is missing, even though no one mentions it.

Not without crying when you think of him or look at old photos.

I still cannot talk about him without tearing up. Certain songs or sayings break me.

After losing a parent, everything looks different. Time with your family begins to feel more intentional, because you want the moments to last.

The hustle feels less important, because you realize your people matter more than any dollar amount.

Grief and gratitude can coexist. It’s okay to be sad, and it’s okay to be thankful for a dad who is worth missing.❤️
