Self proclaimed groupie…and my babies :)
I’ve been singing Kelle Hampton’s praises for the past few weeks. I was given the link to her blog back in early February and I’ve spent about an hour a day since then reading her archives and looking forward to her new posts. She inspires me. Yesterday I sent her an email telling her how amazing she is and how much she inspires me. And I tweeted this:
I’m a major fan. I had to tell her. I didn’t think she’d read my email right away or even reply at all because I figure she’s gotten tons and tons of emails since her blog went from about the amount of readers my blog has to thousands and thousands nationwide daily. She’s a busy woman. So when she replied about 20 minutes later, I almost fainted. Screw Hollywood. Screw the celebs. SHE is a celeb to me. She’s real and honest and so sweet. AND SHE REPLIED TO ME!
That made my day. Her email was so sweet. She complimented this blog because SHE LOOKED AT THIS BLOG! MY BLOG! And she said my pictures were beautiful. Didn’t think it was possible but I love her more now. So I wrote her back and told her I’m a self proclaimed groupie and thanks for writing back so fast. Y’all need to go read her blog. I promise you won’t regret it. It’s nourishment for your soul…for reals yo!
So staying true to form I had to take a few pictures of my youngest baby girl. She has found her reflection. And she loves it.
She’s also walking everywhere now. And yesterday, she even braved a run. It was more like a super fast drunk kinda looking walk but it was cute nonetheless.
The other night I got the DVD in of Livie’s first year that I made her. So we popped it in and we smiled and ooh’d and ahh’d over her as a tiny baby as she walked around the living room. If you watched the video I posted in her birthday post you know the song I picked for it was super sappy and slow. Total tear jerker. I cried a lot making that video. Hannah sat there watching it and then said “Anytime I watch something like this and it has sad music it makes me want to cry.” I laughed and told her “Man, you’re just like me sometimes.”

I love this! In the first pic Livie is SO making a face you would make. She looks just like you there, when a lot of the time I think she looks like hubs.

I love her blog too. I have only commented once though. Feel bad that I’d never been there before Nella’s birth story. Shrug.
