We went to Blue Springs state Park Monday in anticipation to see manatees. Its a lovely little walk through the park but no manatees for Chris or Arabella to see because it was 79 outside. So we took some photos in our flannels, yes family flannel craze. 

Then daddy went on a hunt for mommy to ask people in the park if they had seen manatees today … to our surprise they kept saying a mommy with a baby was swimming around… I Knew they move so slow we were bound to see them but we just couldn’t seem to get in the right area. Then we were about to leave and I saw people crowded around, whipped out the camara and boom!

Baby bucket and daddy got to see theire 1st manatees and to make it even more special it was a momma and baby one!

For years you make fun of the people that have that baby on board sign on their car, right? Admit it, yes you did, and so did Chris and I. Fast forward to us making a cross country road trip with a 2 month old and boom years of being against them changed.  

So we now joined the crowd of baby sign cars… except we wanted one on all windows but thought that would be tacky ha! Maybe we will end up with them all over before we head back across the country again.

Well this little one is chunking up her thighs and wrists for rolling over and more! Her new favorite thing to do is lift her legs up high and smile. Soon she will be sucking on her toes instead of her scrappy cats ears. Its,the most amazing thing to see happen right before your eyes. Check out us 3 doing baby yoga poses together 😉 

Update … today she found her toes to munch on 1.9.16 .. Click on the Photo Below I caught it on video!

 

 

Baby Buckita (one of many nicknames and her instagram hashtag lol #babybuckita) celebrated her 1st New Years Eve and New Years Day with great success! She slept though the fireworks show and woke up 1 minute before the ball dropped for the count down … Here is a little photo breakdown

Today Arabella had her biggest and best blow out yet! She managed to ruin one of her outfits and one of her Grandmas shirts in the process!
We are very very proud of our little blowout princess

We use babyganics diapers as well as honest ones (for cute travel photos) and needless to say though they normally work wonders,today however they didn’t stand a chance!
