WHAT!!…18 Months Already?
Ladies and Gentleman…Yes, it is true! Little Miss has turned a year and a half!
When I am talking to my friends and showing them her pictures, they just gasp!
How did this happen, they replied? WHAT? 18 months ALREADY?!
We released her to Pre-School a few months ago, and look what they have done to her!
She has become a toddler and no more a baby…sigh.
She has even found her mommy instincts already….
I miss her every moment of the day!
My head tells me, that it is good for her not to be the center of the world, every moment with Grammie…
But… my heart is sad at times.
He is giving us the thumbs up that it is football season.
Look, at the resemblance between the two of them.
Just like that…Little Miss is tired.
OUT TAKE…..!!
Oh, Wait…she has one more move to show.
Our Little Miss…the Big Ham of the Family!!
Let’s just hope she out grows this maneuver, when she gets older!…Smile.
Thank You for all the very kind comments on adjusting my sails journey post!
A lot of you asked for this to continue in my future posts. I hope this will be of some encouragement to you.
Adjusting YOUR Sails…
- I have found that the body goes through a BIG withdraw from eating, too many starches and fats! It WILL stop!
But, YOU have to just get through it. Literally, I was in bed for three days! Not feeling good. This is normal.
IT is called DETOX. - Obesity, look at it as a chronic disease! Diseases will not heal and will come back if not treated properly. Your blood
pressure will go up, sugar goes up and on and on it goes. I have had several discussions with my doctor on this issue!
They wanted to put me on all kinds of medications. Finally, I realized okay…enough is enough. I am now ready to be serious. - REWARD YOURSELF! The minute I lost 10 pounds, I went out and bought a few new tops. IT doesn’t matter, that these
new shirts might be too big for the future. What matters, getting you to the GOAL LINE! DO what it takes, to make your
self feel better. Once, you start seeing a little glimmer of a better you, it becomes easier!! This is a crucial step to
the journey! - Fall is here. YEA! Go out and buy a few pair of leggings. As the weight starts to come off, the leggings will adjust to
your body, more than a pair of jeans or slacks would. This has really helped me, not feeling so helpless with my wardrobe.
As of this post, I am down 22 pounds since June. Not as fast as I was hoping, but this is just part of the journey. There will be ups and downs.
I love you all, for being here through the thick and thin and sometimes not so frequent journey of this blog.
Stay tuned…Happy Fall Y’All!

Truly adorable and great shots! How lucky and blessed you are. I do not think I will have any grandchildren myself…at least my children tells me so. But, maybe someday…
Keep the faith…I was told the same thing! Number #4 grandchild to be born next month. LOL…
Lucky you!
Two absolute treasures you have here, Laurie 🙂 Slowly but surely with the weight loss.
Thank You JO!

I am in the “Gasp” group, Laurie! I cannot believe she is already 18 months old. They are absolutely precious, and do I see a tooth missing??? My goodness, time goes by so quickly.
Congratulations on your weight loss. Keep up the good work, my friend!
Thank you for your sweet visit here.
I love your photos, and the out take was fun 🙂
Sounds like things going in the right direction with your weight loss even if it has bee hard at times. Good for you for sticking with your goals.
thank YOU!
Yes I can’t believe it is already 18 month ago, I remember the photos of the bump. How time flies so fast. Adorable family, such happy cute children, you can be such a proud nan! Great on your weightloss, great!
I can’t believe it either. Thanks for your visits!
Such sweethearts, and perfect models too. Glad you are getting closer to your goal line. 🙂

Good Morning Laurie, your grandbabies are just adorable, oh that little dress is soooo pretty. Congratulations on your weight loss woohoo!! I too am on a weight loss journey, down 15 another 10 to go. Have a great week my beautiful friend. Love & hugs, Nathalie xoxo
Nathalie, I feel so honored you are here with me!! We will be weight loss buddies forever. Keep each other on track. Love Ya.
I had to gasp when I saw them both — so much more mature but still as cute as ever. (And sun adorable outfits.) It sure must have been hard to let her go…And congrats to you on the weight loss. I’m down a few too but still more to go.
Thank You Sherry on your lovely comments. Weight loss is not for sissies at this age…smile.
These precious moments are beautifully captured.
Thank you for sharing your journey! Congratulations, Laurie! 😍💕
Amy, I am just glad you are here and enjoying the blog.
Precious portraits of your grandchildren…mostly great going with emphasis on your health and well being.
Sally, thank you for your kind words on the grandchildren. They do delight me so.
She is so big and gorgeous! And the Mister! So big! And a lost tooth!
Good for you on the health jounrey!
Yes, I was wondering if anyone would pick up on that Little Man lost a tooth already…smile. Good catch…
Those grandbabies are so precious! You’re still very lucky to be close enough to get to them in a short period of time. And major kudos to you, girlfriend, for the continued weight loss! I KNOW how hard it is!
I am very lucky to be so close, you are right. One of the best decisions we made. The weight loss issue, not as fun…smile.
They are both growing up so fast! And cute 🙂
Thank you…they are adorable…but of course I am bias.
No more biased than I am about mine. It’s our sworn duty as Nana’s 🙂
So Cute!!!! Wonderful shots!!!
Thank You Rexlin!
Wonderful captured, Laurie… 🙂 🙂
It is always a delight to see you here on Pride in Photos. Thank you.
Time runs fast. I can’t believe it has been 18 moths now. I still remember Little Miss was a little baby. She looks so cute. She and her brother are just adorable.
I am glad you are getting to your goal reaching gold line!
I know, I can’t believe it either, that she is this old…just incredible.
Congrats on your weight loss! I battle it too. The photos are beautiful and so incredibly sweet!! They are such darling children. ❤️
The grands do keep me inspired to push on with the weight loss journey. Thanks for your visit John.
