Almost That Time

My baby girl is almost a year old!
Where has the time went?!?
Seems like yesterday we were coming home from the hospital with her. I have to admit, it's been a challenging year. With Brye being my first born, I took it for granted that she *might* be the same way. She is her own little self. I now know why they say that you can't compare your own children.
She barely has a tooth. You can see it there, but there is still some skin covering it. But she has hair. Brye didn't have any till he was almost two. She *can* walk, but doesn't.

Sun... Finally

Originally uploaded by Lucky.Star Photography

I was finally able to take some pictures this weekend. The monsoon lifted. The little purple flowers were supposed to be "Johnny Jump Ups". They don't have the yellow in them, so I wonder if I got the wrong seeds in the pack? I used my awesome planting skills last year... I walked out to the middle of the yard and threw around a bunch of seeds. Now, my whole side yard has beautiful patches of these little non-Johnny Jump Ups. I worked on the compost pile some and cleaned/raked leaves from the fence. I found a snake and quit. I was scared so much that I was shaking, but I couldn't yell. It was probably a garden snake. I've heard that only bad snakes will "strike" at you and this one jumped out at my rake. To me, the only good snake is a DEAD one. I still need to add flowers to my flower beds and plant my garden.

The little moments

This morning, Freedom slept in. Brye and I got to play for a while without interuptions.
Sometimes I feel bad about not being able to devote 100% of myself to each of them at the same time. We talked for a little while and he told me about some of the dreams he had the night before, and how he remembered that Bran said he would take him fishing.
I know it doesn't seem all that important, but things have been hectic lately that it's nice to just spend some one on one time with him.
When Freedom started to stir, Brye jumped up and said he was going to check on "his baby". I am glad that he loves her, wants to help take care of her and is protective over her. Hopefully he won't be to over bearing when they're teenagers. lol.
