sweet simple & small

When you chose your child’s name, did it have a meaning or did you pick it just because you liked it?             When David and I were talking about names, we were lost! Neither of us knew where to start nor had any picked out before. I always liked the name Christopher. It’s my dad’s name, my brother’s name, my nephew’s middle name and it’s also David’s middle name. It’s a family name and I knew I would pass this name to my child, had it been a boy. We also loved the name Daniel. It’s a strong name for a baby boy, young guy, and an older man. Can you picture a sweet baby named Bill or Ted? Maybe you can, but I sure can’t! Daniel is also a strong biblical character. He was a man of faith! He endured being in the lion’s den and was not harmed because he was brave and faithful.  The name Christopher has the word CHRIST in it. I believe the name Christopher comes from the word Christian, so after all of this the name Daniel Christopher seemed absolutely perfect. We also l

This is my first time ever joining a "Link up Party" and I am so excited to share 5 thinks I've been loving lately! I'm linking up with  Carolina Charm  and a few others so make sure to check out the other blogs listed above! 1. This summer, Dunkin' Donuts is doing Iced Tea and Iced Coffee for $1 if you buy the souvenir cup for the price of a medium drink (yes you get the drink in it as well!). David says their tea is better than McDonald's and I'll admit they are pretty close! I will say, DD's iced coffee definitely won my heart for sure! Loving this summer deal! 2. Beautiful Breastfeeding Laura from tiny toes, little nose  inspired this picture. I guess instagram had temporarily banned breastfeeding photos but now they are allowing them. If you're a proud breastfeeding mama post a pic on instagram with the hashtag beautifulbfing and you'll be able to see tons of awesome breastfeeding shots and even tandem nursing! (brea

5 Months Old       Height & Weight :  I weighed her the other day and got 18 something.    Clothes:   She is wearing 6 months on Carter's and 6-9 months in everything else- right on track! :)     Eating: 100% Mama's milk! I am so proud of my exclusively breastmilk-fed baby who is growing marvelously. I have let her gnaw on a chunk of watermelon and strawberry but I do not feed her "baby food" and don't plan to. I've decided to forego the cereal/oatmeal stage and go to solids when she's able to grab for herself. I love love love nursing! She is starting to kick and squirm while I feed her which is funny because she's still totally latched on while do so. She's just playing. I love when she looks up and me- it just melts my heart. Im MUCH more comfortable with nursing in public too. Now that it is hot, I don't always use my cover anymore. I do and I don't but the other day I nursed her in chipotle without a cover and no
