First of all I want to say sorry. I feel like life has been going in fast motion and I haven’t taken the time to blog. I was never good at writing in my diaries as a kid.
We made the big move in June. It was extremely bitter and not so sweet to leave our little house on Yorktown Drive in Charleston. Your birthplace. The first home you lived in. But time heals all and we are still a happy family. (Which I never doubted but didn’t know how put together I would be.) We have made some friends here. I try to get us out a lot, whether it be shopping, playdates, park to “go down slide” and any festivals that might be going on here in town. The people here are very nice and lively. There isn’t much to do around here but we make it work.
You have grown so much. Right when we moved, it was like you turned a 180. You started talking so much. Your Dad and I have started to write down fun little things you say that make us giggle because we find ourselves at the end of the night, after you have gone to bed, re-enacting the day and laughing at all of your catchy tag-lines. Your most favorites are: “Ah Moon” “Hep me (help me)” “Daddy boop!” “MOLASSES….alright!” and so much more.
We went to New Orleans the first weekend we moved to Louisiana.
We went to Florida with my side of the family in July. You loved the beach, going with HeyHey to see the moon at night, and overall just being around everyone. You are such a lively spirit!
We rode in the wagon everyday to get the mail.
During the summer, we went to the pool almost everyday. And you were a swimmer at 19 months old. Who can say that?
The sunsets in Houma are some of the best I have ever seen in my life and look forward to them every night in the summer time.
We took a three week trip to Memphis to spend time with our family. You got to see your cousin Josiah and your cousin Evan, all of your grandparents and some aunts and uncles. Every time we go home, I feel like you come back with so much knowledge.
Cindy, Jay, and Tyler came to visit us in October. We had an amazing time with them. I hope you and Tyler will be friends for a long time.
You were the prettiest moon on Halloween. You won ‘Most Original’ and I won ‘Most Creative’
We made last minute Thanksgiving dinner plans with our friends who live next door. Nothing too special, and only got a few photos. 
I hope this caught you up on the last six months of your life. I know it’s brief but in 2014 your Dad and I have decided that our resolution will be writing more. You are growing like a weed! And I can’t say this enough, but you are so smart. You make me so incredibly proud. I love being your Mom. (And hopefully best friend.)
