Crosby is at an age where she's starting to dislike sitting in anything that she needs to be strapped in. Car seat, stroller, high chair etc. It's definitely making life a little harder! We decided it was time to get her own little table, but had trouble finding one that we liked and thought would fit in with our decor. Jeff had the idea to get this $30 IKEA LATT table and DIY it into our own creation. We couldn't be happier with how it turned out... Crosby is a huge fan too!
I'm 17 weeks pregnant now and feel like I've popped! With Crosby I wasn't visibly showing until around 22 weeks.... it happens a lot faster the second time. I also feel like time is going by sooo fast now. Like I'm going to blink and it's going to be baby time. Trying to soak up these last months with just Crosby.

If you can't tell from these photos, it's getting harder and harder to take pictures with a toddler. Crosby would much rather be running around than stay still for a photo. But we still try. Sunday we put on some pretty dresses, did our hair (how cute are her pig tails?!) and headed out to shoot these. I think they may be some of my favorites because she was so in her natural element.... which is non-stop.

When I found out I was pregnant with Crosby my family and friends were convinced I was having a boy. And that would have been fine... but deep down I knew I always wanted a girl. Now that she's a toddler, dressing her is so much fun, especially when we can match. We were sent mommy and me matching swimsuits from 98 Coast Av right after she was born and I've been dying to wear them ever since. Sixteen months later, her's finally fits and we couldn't pass up a chance to rock them.
Planning an outing with a toddler is a little harder than planning an outing with an infant. When Crosby was a baby my diaper bag essentials were plenty of diapers and wipes, a spare outfit, burp cloths, pacifier and possibly a bottle. Now the girl needs all the things! Toys, snacks, sippy cups, etc. Sometimes I feel like a pack mule trying to squeeze it all in.
