Did she really do that?!

Addison still didn't feel very well on Thanksgiving and didn't really eat:( but she feels much better now. After we ate dinner on Thanksgiving we were playing with Addison letting her walk and I decided to try and let go and she took 2 STEPS that's right my baby walked!!!!! So we took her to the living room and she took another 4 or 5 steps! I'm am just blown away that she's old enough to be doing this. I say by Christmas she will be walking!

She can clap!

Yesterday Addison finally got the clapping down, while we played patty cake. She thinks it's lots of fun to do. Nothing much else going on getting ready to bake for Thanksgiving! Addison is still running a fever:( still hoping and praying she feels better soon. She's not much into eating food just drinking which I guess is good, but I know she would love all the food at Thanksgiving dinner and it will probably be her favorite holiday!

Sick baby

Well we have a sick baby on our hands:( She's had a runny nose for about 3 weeks just clear so I figured it was allergies but yesterday she spiked a fever of 101.2 so decided I waited long enough and made an appt. for today. At 4 a.m. she woke up with a fever of 101.7 and stayed awake till 6:30! So went to the doctor and she couldn't really find anything wrong with her said she might be getting a sinus infection or a viral thing. She also thinks that she has allergies and is on clartin everyday she also gave her amoxicilan. At about noon woke up with a fever of 104.5!!! talk about freaking out I called the doc and they said to give her Motrin right away and bring her in if it doesn't go down in a hour which thankfully it did. So now we are rotating Motrin and Tylenol every 4 hours. Hopefully she's feeling better by Thanksgiving so she can eat yummy food.

Here are a few pictures the hairbows I made more to come!!!

Updates

So its been a long time since I've updated sorry about that. Addison is now 10 months only 2 months till shes 1! She is very busy and into everything. Still not walking but cruising everywhere holding on to whatever she can. She had stood for a few seconds by herself but she just not sure of herself yet. Addison had a wonderful Halloween. We had lots of people come over to go trick or treating with us. I don't think I have ever seen such an entourage of people for one little girl, thanks everyone for loving her so much!!!!
Addison had mastered saying "Hi" and waving we went to the grocery last night and she told everyone we passed "Hi". She also has bye bye down too. It's so fun to hear her talk and babble. She is addicted to talking on a phone, whether it's real, fake, the remote control or a toy. If you act like your talking to her on the phone and say "hi Addison" she'll put whatever shes holding up to her ear and say "Hi". Can you believe that? She already knows what to do with a phone next year she'll be asking for a phone for Christmas or her birthday.
This weekend Dana, Earl and Abbi came and stayed with us! We had a great time just hanging out and catching up. I've really missed them so I was glad they stayed with us.

9 month pictures

Today we went and had Addison's 9 month pictures taken at Portrait Innovations and they turned out so cute! I had her pictures take in a cute sweater dress with a hat and her Halloween costume. After I got home I realized I forgot to take her pumpkin basket with us:( So I guess I will have to so a photo shoot in the backyard.
This past Friday we had a special visitor.... Aunt Elaine came to see Addison! We just hung out and played and Elaine helped me download videos off my camcorder so she she can make Addison's Sideshow. We went to Nana and Papaw's for dinner then home for the night. Saturday we went to Glendale Daze. Addison did so good! I carried her on my back in a carrier we borrowed from a friend and she looked around at everything and actually took 2 naps in it. She always amazes me how well behaved she is. Not all babies would be so content stuck in a carrier for hours especially when they are mobile.

Busy, long weekend

Well like always we had a very busy weekend. Saturday my best friend Dana and her family where in town so we spent the day with them. Dana and I went shopping while the men played golf and the kiddo's stayed with grandma's. Addison spent the day with Nana, Papaw and Sophia and I'm pretty sure she had a good time and didn't get spoiled at all ;). That night we had dinner with Nana and Papaw then headed home. On Sunday we had a family reunion at Freeman lake, it was nice to see everyone but a little chilly. Then we came home and put up some fall decorations and Omi and Pawpaw came over. They helped us give the dogs a much needed bath and brushin. Yesterday I was lucky enough to have the day off so we went and saw Aunt Mandy. Addison does not like her dog Rocky for some reason she is scared to death!
Addison second tooth broke through the skin yesterday her bottom right! It's so weird to see her smile and laugh with a tooth in her mouth. Today she brushed her teeth for the first time, and she thought it was so funny. I sat her on the counter in the bathroom so she could look in the mirror. I let her hold the tooth brush then put my hand on top of hers, so cute. Well that's all for now I hear a baby stirring.

9 month check up

Today Addison had her 9 month check up. She weighs 19lbs 11oz and is 28 1/4 inches. Isn't she getting big?! She had to have her finger pricked for blood work and didn't even cry! She got a little frustrated because it took forever to get enough blood but no tears! We decided to go ahead and give her the flu shot which she did not like and did cry when she got. She has to go back in a month for the booster shot follow up and they think they will have the H1N1 vaccine in then, I haven't decided for sure yet if she is going to get it but the doctor recommends she does. I always make her following appt. while I'm there and when I did I realized at her next appt. she will be one that's right 1. Where has this year gone? That's all for now talk to ya soon.

Pictures!!!!!!

Here are Addison's 7, 8, and 9 month pictures I tried to upload more but it wouldn't work anymore

http://sgirl79.blogspot.com/
This is a link to a blog I follow that has a very sad story. Today would have been their little boy Issac's first birthday but he only lived for 16 mins. Today my heart and my prayers go out to them and their families. I don't know how they have had the strength to make it this past year without their little boy to hold and watch grow. They should be planning a wonderful birthday, instead they are still mourning the loss of their child. It really makes me realize how lucky I am to have a healthy baby and how short life is. If you have time to read her blog you really should you will come away with a whole new perspective and not a dry eye! Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers today!

Nine months today

Can you believe it Addison is 9 months today?! Where has the months gone? Today I watched the video of the morning she was born I can hardly remember her being that tiny anymore. She is so big now and does so much. Today we went out and got some things for her halloween costume then went and ate at Panera Bread. For the the first time she had yogurt and it was one of the gogurt in the pouch and yes she ate it out of the pouch. I'm gonna try again to post some picture. well once again I can't post pictures I'll try again tomorrow sorry everyone I don't know what is going on

Trying new foods

Today Addison got to try some new foods. For lunch she had a grilled cheese sandwich and of course she loved it, but whats not to love about cheese and bread!! For dinner she had ravioli and once again she loved it. I just realized she had a lot of cheese and carbs today oh well she's very active and she ate her green beans. We went shopping today with my mom and dad. I'm so happy that my dad went with us, if you know my dad you know he doesn't like to leave the house much. Mom got Addison her winter coat it's so cute it's pink of course and we got it from Gap, she also got her some outfits and a really cute dress to wear for her 9 month pictures. Yep that's right 9 months on Tuesday isn't that crazy? I don't know where the time has gone but sure has flown by. Well that's all for now talk to you soon.

We have a tooth!

Addison finally got her first tooth, it broke through the skin on Saturday. She has surprisingly done very well with she been a litte fussy but not horrible. If I cna get her to open her mouth for me I'll try to get a picture but she always keeps her tounge over her bottom gums and does not want anyone to look. The only way I can get her to let me look is by playing dentist! She gets to play with my teeth while I look at hers, you gotta do what ya gotta do!! Daddy got to spend his first night alone with Addison on Saturday while I babysat Carl and Eric Jr. overnight. Lets just say it didn't go to well for him. She went down around 8ish and woke back up at 10:45ish till 1:30 when he let her sleep with him so daddy got no sleep:( I told him welcome to parenthood he thought he had it so nice never getting up with her welcome to my world. Nothing else new really going on just enjoying the cooler weather. we are hoping to take Addison to a pumpkin patch sometime soon I can't wait.

Where have I been???

Wow I don't even know where to start. First of all sorry I haven't been on in awhile been pretty busy. I have started watching another baby Hayden a little boy. He is a very good and easy baby. Yay!!!! Addison has grown so much it's amazing. Recently she started cruising around her toys and the furniture and two days ago she walker with her push toy all around the living room!!! Can you believe she is already this big? Mom and Dad got her a walker a couple weeks ago because dad insisted she have one. And she loves it!!!! My friend Natascha gave me hers to have here and she loves walking around here. Addison has become such a little ham and loves to be the center of attention. She crinkles up her nose and breathes in and out of nose it's so cute she just recently mastered blowing raspberry's. I got the hiccups last night while holding her and she though that was hilarious!!!
I went to a consignment sell Wednesday that's here twice a year and got some amazing toys for Addison. I got her this little kitchen set that I had on her x-mas wish list that goes for $80 dollars and I got it for $12.50. Wow what a deal!!! I had it in the kitchen drying after I cleaned it and she crawled in there and saw it and started her happy screaming she loves it!!!! Well babies are up now I will try to post some pics later

Soccer Game

Yesterday we went and watched my cousin's soccer team play in Lexington at Asbury College. Before her game we got to take her out to lunch and visit with her for like 2 hours. We haven't seen her since March so it was nice to see her again. My family lives far away and we just don't get to see them enough, but when we do we have so much fun! We didn't get to see Lauren play, Addison was getting tired and fussy so we left at half time but I'm sure she kicked some butt. Addison made another milestone last night she climber the stairs at Omi's. I left her in the basement with Clint and my dad while I went on a walk and when I came back Clint told me that she got mad and went looking for me so she climbed the stairs. When I got back I had to see it for myself of course, so I went half way up the stairs and she climbed to me.
Addison is 8 months today!!!! I haven't got to take her 8 month picture yet so I will post it later but I am going to post her 7 month picture. Love you all. well it's not letting me download pics right now I'll try again later

Pictures by Halo Photography

Thanks so much to Brittany Cluver for these gorgeous pictures!!!!

mommy's girl

Addison is definitely a mommy's girl the past few days I have not been able to get anything done because I have a little girl clinging to my ankles. As much as I love her being all about mommy I wish I could have a break when daddy come home. Trying cook or do the dishes is near impossible anymore with out her in my arms or crying on the floor. It's all worth it though when I pick her up and she smiles and laughs at me.

My sister started her clinicals at Kosairs today and I am so excitied for her because this is what she has been waiting for. She got to do observations in the NICU today and really enjoyed it. I don't know how she will ever work there my heart would be breaking everyday. She told me today that they have a room for babies whose parents don't want them anymore, how could you not want your baby? The nurses told her that 2 nurses already adopted a baby each from there and 1 is fostering another baby and right now they have 3 or 4 babies in there. I wish I had a larger home and more money so that I could bring one or more of those babies home they need love. Once the babies are better they go to Home of the Innocent hoping to be adopted. My heart breaks everytime I think about it.

I can post pics again yea!!! tomorrow I'll upload recent pic and put them on here.

Addison has learned to wave bye bye and she says something that sounds like it, but don't think she going to do it just because you want her to because she won't unless she wants to. She is very busy and you can forget about holding her unless she eating, tired or hurt otherwise she is on the move. She loves to stand and would rather do that then crawl around and she is starting to walk around her toys. Other than that nothing else much is going on. Next week I start watching Hayden which I'm excited about and I'm thinking about letting Addie go. Addie crys all day unless I'm holding her and it just stresses me out to much and my poor puppies are my release of stress they bark and get yelled at. It's just not fair to any of us I'm going to give it a few more weeks and see what happens. Well Addison is up so I gotta go

She talks a lot

Addison now says "dada" she said it yesterday for the first time and made her daddy's day!! He was so jealous she said mama first. This morning she started dancing while holding on to her toys. It's so cute to see her bounce up and down. I got her 6 month pictures back and they are gorgeous I will be sending them out soon. I've tried to post pics but for some reason I still can't I will keep trying. Well that's all for now.

breaking mommy's heart

Well sorry its been so long since I posted but my computers been down like always. Addison had advanced so much. This past Sunday she crawled on her knees not army crawled but not for very long. Om Monday she said Mama, break my heart and make me cry. she looks so cute her cheeks go up and down. Melts my heart everytime she says it and her voice is so sweet. On wednesday I put her down for a nap and when she woke up she was fussing, Iwalk in to see my baby girl standing in her crib. I can't beleive she is now pulling up. We think by Halloween she will be walking!!!
Well thats all for now

Happy 7 month birthday Addison

Wow my baby is 7 months!!!! She had gotten so big so fast. She is every where you can't take your eyes off of her for a minute. She not really crawling well at least not on knees and hands but she has the army crawl down pack and is very happy with it. Sometime she'll get on her knees and rock some but she always goes back down and army crawls. My prediction is that she will continue this learn how to pull up which she is trying to do and start cruising around the house. She loves to eat real food. I have been giving her pieces of food that we eat and she can't get enough. My uncle Johnny is coming down tomorrow so we will have lots of fun this weekend. Well I'm gonna try and post some pics. Love you all Tasha

Family Pictures

Today we went and had Addison's 6 month pics(even though she is almost 7 months now) and family pics. I found this photographer in Louisville who is just starting out and is really cheap and does great work at least what I have seen. I think they are going to come out so cute! Addison did really good even though it was getting late. I had some pics taken of her in her tutu and can't wait to see them they are going to be so cute. The photographer said it would probably be 3 weeks before they were done. I hate waiting but know it will be worth it. We have been so busy this summer and have a very busy week ahead of us. Friday we are having a going away party for my best friend Dana and her husband Earl and their little girl Abbi who are moving to West Virgina. Saturday we have Eric's first birthday party followed by Drea and Nate's bachelorette and bachelor party. Then Sunday is a surprise shower for Drea. I'm so ready for a weekend when I don't have anything. We would love to make it up to see my sister-in-law sometime in Aug. but we'll see how that goes. Well that's all for now love you all Tasha

Just hanging out

Addison and I have been playing a lot with the toys I got her at the yard sales. She loves the leap frog learning table it is by far her favorite toy. She also loves her vtech apple toy but she spit up on it the other night and the buttons no longer work so I will now be looking for a new one. I have also started giving her little bits of food but only in my presence and with my permission can she have any of it. I bought a mesh food bag its so you can put real food in it and they can chew on it and get some of it out. So I tried a banana in it and she was like what is this bag and it was a fail, but then I just picked pieces off with my fingers and she loves it!!!! I have also given her some bread wheat bread and of course it was a hit and then we had turkey tacos the other night and I gave her some meat and just like everything else she loved it. There is nothing she won't eat! She has definitely become a Mommy's a girl epically in the evening she cries every time Clint holds her or she is put down until I get her. As much as I love her being a Mommy's girl sometimes Mommy really needs her to go to Daddy so I can get things done. I also think her teeth are really starting to bother her at night and its not making it much fun around here. I had plan on taking Addison to get 6 month pics taken on Friday but I found this photographer in Louisville who just starting out and does great work for a great deal and cheaper than what I would have paid at the other place so now we are going on Monday. I'm so excited and can't wait to share the pics with you all. Well that's all for XOXO Tasha

yard sales

Saturday me, Mommy, Omi and our friend Shannon went to yard sales we found so many good deal or should I say Mommy did. Mommy took $40 with her to spend and got me a ton of stuff. Lets see I got a pair of Nike tennis shoes and sandals another pair of shoes some p.j.'s, a Leap Frog table toy that you can pull up on which is originally $45, a push to ride toy, an elephant rocker, a play set for outside that has a little slide and swing for babies it's originally $175 we got it for $20. I also got a couple other little toys. All in all a very successful day. Sunday we went and visited Nana and Papaw then Mommy went and watched the boys and had a great time with them. Well that's all for now. With love Addison Grace

6 month check up

I know some of you are waiting for me to post pictures but for some reason my computer isn't letting me know so maybe this weekend when I' m at my moms I can. So we went for Addison's checkup today and everything went great. She now weighs 17lbs and 4oz and is 27 in which is the 80th percentile, the doc. says probably by 9 or 10 months we will have to get a new car seat as ours only goes to 30 in. She said that she is well advanced for age which is great. How yeah her head was in the 90th percentile but the doc. said she would rather have a baby with a big head then a small head because that means her brain is growing and developing well. Addison is moving around like crazy I'm not really sure how because she seems to move when I'm not looking but I think she army crawls. The other day I had her in the middle of the rug I look up and she is in front of the door then I look again a few minutes later and she over by the windows trying to eat them. It's so amazing all the things she is doing. Well that's all for now talk to ya soon

wow where have we been??

So I'm so sorry I haven't been on here in a while. My baby girl is now 6 months old I can't believe she been with us for half a year already and how big she is. She started sitting up all by her self a week and half ago not mastered it yet still a little wobbly but she loves sitting up. When I sit her on her changing table to to change her she turns and puts her arms on me and pulls me to her to get a hug uh my heart melts. We had a great 4th of July and Addison looked so cute. I'll post pics on Monday. We are going camping this weekend for the first time with Addison can't wait to see her on the boat. Well I gotta go for now talk to ya soon,

Happy B-lated Fathers Day!!!!

Happy Fathers Day to all you daddy's. We had a great day we celebrated it at Omi's and Pawpaw's house and everyone came over, Nana and Papaw, Aunt Mandy and Uncle Mike and Pat, Michael and Travis. Oh yeah Aunt Dana,Uncle Earl, Bri and Abbi came to and we went swimming. Daddy really liked his present and thought it was super cute. I think I have the best daddy in the world and am so lucky that he goes to work everyday to buy me things and let mommy stay home with me!!!! well that's all for now hugs and kisses Addison Grace
Mommy's turn again. So sometimes I just don't get men. Saturday night Mandy asked if I wanted to go with her to the movies this weekend and I said of course and Clint said I'll stay home with Addison and we'll have a couple bottles. So then on the way home I tell Clint that our moms are going to go with us to the movies and says I watch Addison thanks for asking. OK first you already said you would second why is it that men think that the mom always has to have the child and if they want to do something they have to ask the dad because if it were the other way around he would not ask me to keep Addison he would just assume I was. OK now I feel much better just had to get that out

First time swimming

Hey everyone!! This weekend I went swimming for the first time, and believe it or not I loved the water. It wasn't cold but wasn't bath water temp yet either. I stayed in from the time I got up till I went back down. Mommy dunked me under the water and I didn't cry I was just like whoa!!! So all in all a great day and I can't wait to go again this weekend mom said we could go every weekend!!!! Yesterday my Aunt Elaine came down to visit me and we had lots of fun. We got to spend quality time together usually she has to share me with other family members. Once daddy got home we went to Nana's for dinner. I showed everyone my temper that they didn't think I had. Today mommy started making me some shoes for 4th of July I think they are cute but mom says there ok. She got one done today and is going to finish the other one tomorrow. Well Mom and Dad say I have to got to bed now. Goodnight hugs and kisses Addison

Another milestone

First I want to tell you to check out the song that I added to the left. Every time I hear I want to cry for some reason. So today I was feeding Addelyn (the little girl I watch) and it was getting close to Addison's feeding time about 30Min's till then and she had a fit seeing her eating and not her. She screamed until I got her a bottle no tears just mad. So I made her bottle and picked her up and I guess she decided she was tired of waiting on me and held her bottle all by herself pulled it out of her mouth then would put it back in. That girl is something else definitely her daddy's temper!!!!! I just can't believe how fast this is going by it blows my mind. I will post pics later of her holding her bottle I'm not home right now I'm babysitting the boys Carl and Eric Jr, by the way I just really love them they are so sweet and growing up so fast. Also today was mine and Clints 2nd anniversary. I can't believe it's already been this long I'm so lucky to be married to a wonderful man who would give anything for me. I'm so thankful that he goes to work everyday so that I can stay home with our baby girl, not everyone can be that lucky and I am so grateful for it and never take a single day for granted. Well that's all for now. With love Tasha

Hanging with Sophia

Today my cousin Sophia came and stayed with us and we had lots of fun. She played peek-a-boo with me and made me smile a lot. Nothing new really going on around here. Oh tomorrow is mommy and daddy's 2nd wedding anniversary so congrats to them!!!! They are going to celebrate this weekend and I get to stay with Aunt Ellen for the first time. Well goodnight hugs and kisses Addison Grace

5 months today

Today I am 5 months old!!!!! Mommy hasn't take pics yet but will soon and ost them this evening. Fill ya in later on my day. with love hugs and kisses Addison

Mommy's turn to blog

Well we haven't been on here lately sorry been really busy adding another baby to the mix. If you didn't know I started watching a 6 week old. It's been going really well just has made me a lot more tired. Addison has gotten so big I don't even know where to start. She no longer looks like an newborn but like a little person and I can't tell anymore who she looks like, to me she is just Addison. I told Clint the other night that I wish she could just stay at this age and I would never need another baby, but I know that can't happen. Last night I sat and rocked her after a bottle which never happens any more and was so sad to realize that she barley's fits in my arms like that anymore. I remember when she was first born and we couldn't believe how small she was and I could hold her in just one arm but definitely not anymore. She is such a happy baby always smiling and laughing. She has a great personality however does have her daddy's temper when she mad!!! If you haven't seen her lately you really need to you won't recognize her. She is never still not even while sleeping. Her arms or legs have to be going constantly. She loves to eat and can't get enough of it. We recently started baby food and there hasn't been anything she doesn't like. Tomorrow she turns 5 months wow! Next month she will have been with us for half a year already that blows my mind. As sad as I am about her getting so big I'm so excited to watch her grow and learn new things.
with love Tasha

Wow where has the time gone????

So I haven't been doing well with posting lately but I promise to be better!!!! We had a very busy Memorial Day weekend. Friday night mommy had a book party then Saturday we went out shopping for Mommy's birthday (by the way happy belated b-day mommy) and lunch with Omi and Pawpaw. Then that night mommy went out with a bunch of girlfriends for her birthday, they went to dinner then to Improv Theater to see comedian Jamie Kennedy and the best part was that they saw his girlfriend Jennifer Love Hewitt!!!!!! they had lots of fun. I stayed with daddy and Uncle Earl came over with Abbi and Uncle Nate came over to hang out. Sunday night we went out to dinner to celebrate Mommy's birthday with the family. Monday we went to Nana's house for the May birthdays and a cookout we had lots of fun. After that we went and saw Aunt Mandy and Uncle Mike. That evening they took me and had my ears pierced I was pretty brave I didn't really cry because it hurt but because mommy was holding my head still and hands down as soon as she let go I stopped crying. The pictures look worse then it really was. Oh yeah today I mastered rolling over tummy to back and am now a pro. Mommy got it on video so as soon as we figure out how to put it on the computer we will and we will post pics tomorrow.
Well that's all for now goodnight hugs and kisses with love Addison

Updates from the week

Sorry I haven't been on here been a little busy. Lets see well mommy, daddy and Aunt Drea stared training for their marathon and I got to tag along in my stroller. Oh yeah Omi's been going with them running GO OMI!!!!! Mommy and Aunt Drea also started doing the 30 day shred today I got to watch they got a great workout and were very tired when they were done. Yesterday Mommy took me to the doctor because I've been sick since Florida. The doctor thinks it's a bacterial infection so they gave me amoxicillan they also gave me a breathing treatment in the office and decided I needed to go on them for the next month. Luckily mommy's friend Joy had a machine she wasn't using and let us borrow it because they are expensive. I've been doing really well with them mostly I just want to eat the face mask. Yesterday I rolled over again but not by accident on purpose I tried and tried for like 30 mins before I did it and I was so proud. Today mommy started watching Addelyn we had lots of fun playing on the floor together.

Parties Galore!!

It was a very busy weekend with lots of parties. Saturday mommy went to Stacie's baby shower while I stayed with daddy, Omi and Aunt Mandy. She didn't get to stay for very long and missed all the presents being opened because we went to a birthday party. It was my friend Trinity's 1st birthday!!! There was so much there to do, they had a pool, a wadding pool for babies, toys galore and a blow up bouncy thing there were so many people and she got tons of cool toys and clothes she even got an outfit that I have her mommy said we'd have to get pics taken together. After her party we went to Omi's for Michael's(Uncle Mikes dad) surprise 60th party. They had tons of yummy food I got to suck on a pickle and believe it or not didn't even make face I really liked it. I also drank out of a cup and now think I need to all the time. Michael was very surprised and had no idea they had this planned. They all played cornhole and drank and just had a great time. Today we went to Aunt B's house for lunch to see Aunt Lynn who is visiting from South Dakota. After that we went to the grocery then home for the night. Tomorrow is a big day for mommy and daddy they start training for a marathon I'm so proud of them and know they can do it!!! Well that's all for now goodnight hugs and kisses with love Addison Grace

doc. appt

Today I went in for my 4 month check up. I now weigh 14lbs 11oz and a 25ins that's the 75% for my age!!! I am definitely growing well. I also had to get 4 shots which I didn't like at all!!!!! The doctor gave me some meds for my reflux so hopefully I won't be spitting up as much but it does not taste good at all. I've been really sleepy today and just not my self. I got to see my boyfriend Aaden today that was pretty cool but I wasn't in a playful mood. Well that's all for now. goodnight hugs and kisses. with love Addison Grace

Happy Mother's Day

Today we started our day by getting up and taking a bath. Daddy went and ran some errands then we gave her the present we got her. It was a bracelet that has to be engraved because daddy waited to long to get it. After that we went to church to see my cousin Sophia be baptized. Then we went to Aunt Ellen's house for lunch. Mommy got a present there too from Nana it's a picture frame to put my birth, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months pictures in. After that we went and met Pawpaw and Omi for dinner at Ruby Tuesday and believe it or not there was no wait!!!!! Omi got mommy a heart shaped necklace with diamonds on it and a silhouette of a mom and baby. I think she had a pretty great day. On Thursday I started eating cereal and I love it the first time I made a big mess but I'm doing much better now. Mommy and daddy are only giving it to me at night till I go to the doctor on Tuesday.

Well that's all for now goodnight hugs and kisses

A sweet poem I saw today hope you enjoy

A Newborn's Conversation with God
A baby asked God, "They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?" God said, "Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you." The child further inquired, "But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy." God said, "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy." Again the small child asked, "And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don't know the language?" God said, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak." "And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?" God said, "Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray." "Who will protect me?" God said, "Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life." "But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore." God said, "Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you." At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, "God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel's name." God said, You will simply call her, "Mom."

Back from Florida

Well I'm finally back from Florida and I had a great time!!! The weather was so nice, windy but warm. We went to the beach twice and I loved the sand the water was a little chilly but mommy put my feet in it and I liked it. I got to meet lots of my family and they all loved me so much!! My cousins were lots of fun and kept me entertained the whole time, mommy says she wants to bring them home for a couple weeks to help her. We went shopping one day to the outlets and I got lots of stuff for the winter time. I also got my toes painted by Iris they are pink of course and really pretty. Every morning when we sat on the back porch we saw dolphins swim by that was pretty cool.

Aunt Mandy's wedding was really pretty too. She looked so beautiful! Mommy did her hair and make-up and it sure was pretty at least that's what everyone said. It was super windy on wedding day but other than that it was a nice day. We got to see some of the pictures the photographer took and they look like they came out of a magazine! Oh Uncle Mike and Aunt Mandy were supposed to go to Cancun for their honeymoon but both their parents said that wasn't happening so after long hours of searching on Wednesday they finally found a new place to go and went to the Dominican Republic which is probably nicer.

Today i found my toes and I think they taste pretty yummy!!! Well that's it for now I have lots of pics to post.

goodnight hugs and kisses
