  • Welcome to my blog!

    Hi! I'm Traci. I'm a Registered Nurse who loves quilting, knitting, cross stitch, and the great outdoors. In my pre-scrubs life, I owned Real Photography, and you can still see my old wedding and portrait photography site here .

    I've created a map that shows links to our camping/hiking/general family fun review posts that you can find here. It's pretty much the coolest thing on this site. Thanks, Google!

    I great big puffy heart *love* comments, so please let me know you visited! I try to always reply!

Everyone says that second kids do everything faster because they see the first one doing it.  This is not true with Ellie.  She continues to show zero interest in movement beyond rolling.  Even if you hold her up so she’s standing and holding onto your fingers, she won’t play walk.  No.  Ellie has Will.  If she wants something, he’ll get it for her.  If she wants to go somewhere, he’ll do his darndest to get her there.

Why crawl when you can have a doting big brother instead?
