And in less than two months, my baby boy turns ONE YEAR OLD.
. . .
WUUUUUUUT??? I can't believe it! He's growing up so fast!
Are you a Summer gal, like me, or are you so ready for the loveliness of Fall?

New names! Just four for ya today. :]

M | English
From a surname, originally derived from the name of a county in England, which could possibly be derived from a Brythonic word meaning "coastal district."
F | English, French, Irish
Medieval English form of a Celtic name possibly derived from the Irish Muirgel, which means "bright sea". The Normans brought this name from Brittany to England.
Cyril
M | English, French, Czech, Slovak
From the Greek name Kyrillos, derived from kyrios meaning "lord." This name was borne by a number of notable saints, including Cyril of Jerusalem, a 4th-century bishop & Doctor of the Church, and Cyril of Alexandria, a 5th-century theologian. Another Saint Cyril was a 9th-century linguist & Greek missionary to the Slavs. He & his brother Methodius, created the Cyrillic alphabet (still in use today) in order to translate the Bible into Slavic.
F | German, Dutch, Danish, Norwegian, English, Late Greek
do-ro-TEH-a (German), dawr-e-THEE-e (English)
Feminine form of the Late Greek name Dorotheos, meaning "gift of God." It is composed of the Greek elements doron "gift" & theos "god." The given name Theodore is made up of the same elements in reverse order. Dorothea was the name of at least two early saints, notably 4th-century martyr Dorothea of Caesarea. It was also the given name of 14th-century Dorothea of Montau, the patron saint of Prussia.
NOTE: Theodore & Dorothea would make great names for character twins!
