Tuesday: I love new socks! We always have new ones in the closet thanks to Grandma at Christmas.
Wednesday: Our schedule has been crazy and it doesn't look like it's going to slow down any time soon. I do like looking at my planner and seeing all the things I have gotten done.
Thursday: Is there something on my face? I was planning on saving that cheerio for later.
Friday: It's the weekend. Time to clean up all the piles and clutter we have neglected all week.
Saturday: We went to a benefit dinner and raffle. We won an Arbonne basket with shampoo and a gift certificate.
Sunday: They had an open house to come meet baby Harlee. I was nervous how the Girl would do with someone younger than her but she was great.
Monday: It's hard to take pictures of anything else when the Girly looks so cute!
Tuesday: The Girly has started to eat an "after-school" snack. I usually give her some cheese and fruit. Today we ended up with cheese crackers and a newton. She didn't eat much applesauce because we don't let her feed it to herself.
Wednesday: No afternoon nap = falling asleep during dinner.
Thursday: 12 month well-baby check. This is the first well-check since 6 months where Gracie has actually been "well"! She got a good report from the doctor. Growing well, tubes look good. She also got 4 shots.
Friday: Looks like its time to start closing the bathroom door. Someone decided the toilet paper was a toy while we put away the groceries,
Saturday: I found a recipe on Pinterest for homemade edible finger paint. The girl loved it! She made 3 paintings (one for me to hang up at work, one for a gift and one for project life) and she screamed when we took each paper from her. She did really well at not eating the paint. I can't wait to put her on the deck and let her really get artistic,
Sunday: Family photo by Miss Carol.
Monday: It's awesome to be greeted by these two faces watching through the window.
Tuesday: It's Project Life - palooza! I am trying to get the Girly's baby book done before her party so I have been spending every extra second putting pictures in or working on the journaling. The photos are mostly there but the words stop ay 8 months.
Wednesday: The coffee maker has not been working for the last week. I don't function too well without it on weekdays so the Peanut and I have been making a stop at McDonalds on the way to the sitter.
Thursday: The Girly had to get tubes in her ears this morning. She did great! I think the hardest part for her was not eating. The hardest part for us was getting up earlier than normal (which is already too early!) Hopefully we will be done with ear infections now.
Friday: Happy Birthday Girly!!!
Stats: 20 lbs. Size 3 diaper. Size 9 month and some 12 month clothes. Size 3 shoes.
Gracie girl you are getting so big! You eat pretty much everything we do and go anywhere you want. You are still crawling but will walk if you have something to hold on to. Your favorite toys are laundry, cell phones and remote controls. You still say da-da all the time along with uh-oh and mama. You also tell people that kitties say "ow". You have learned to go up the stairs and are getting really fast at that.
Saturday: The Girl's birthday was a success. All the planning really paid off. Lots of people came. The food was great. The room looked awesome. The cake was a hit. She got lots of clothes and a few toys. All that is left to do is write the thank yous.
Sunday: Hooray for warm weather. We were able to take the pup for a strut. I don't know who likes walks more, the boy or the girl. She has finally grown into these shades we got the Christmas before she was born.
Monday: The warm weather stayed around so we decided to go see my students play softball and baseball. Both games were at the same place not to far away. Go Rockets!
Tuesday: The Girly has loved these blocks since she got them for Christmas. She loves to dump them out and throw them around the living room. I'm surprised we haven't lost any yet.
Wednesday: Gracie loves to play with Padma. She has a shape app that sings songs.
Thursday: Now that I know I don't have to feed the Girly much longer my supply has been crazy. I didn't think I would still be freezing milk in April. I will be kinda sad to use up all my freezer stash. It took so much work to get it!
Friday: Nap time on the sofa.
Saturday: We went to an egg hunt at Nanny and Paw Paw's church. Fun times with the cousins.
Sunday: Gracie's 2nd Easter. Easter baskets were a hit this year. She was a little too small (like 3 days old) to enjoy them last year.
Monday: I started working on the favors for the Girly's 1st birthday day party. We have been buying things for a while but now that it's a week away we really have to get things ready!
Tuesday: Coopie turned 76! I've driven 76,000 miles in 7 years which includes 2 trips to Columbus and one to Hilton Head. Maybe Coopie will make it to 150,000 miles in 14 years???
Wednesday: Our sweet Girly isn't feeling too well. She has been running a temp. since Monday night. It got up to 103 so we went to the doctor. He says there is an infection in there somewhere and gave her some medicine. Hopefully it helps.
Thursday: Sharing some chips with da-da. Hopefully she doesn't like them as much as he does. We could never afford to support two chip and dip addictions.
Friday: I am so ready for Spring and so is my skin! I lotion my hands all the time and they still get so dry that they bleed. I am so tired of being itchy. Warmer weather hurry up quick!
Saturday: Gracie got to play with her buddy Kenzie. Miss Carol hasn't had both of her babies together since the fall. She was in baby heaven.
Sunday: I finally got a spring wreath for my door. It was time to take down the Christmas / Winter one for something new. Miss Carol helped me make this and I love the way it turned out.
Monday: An unexpected (and really unwanted) spring snow storm caused school to close today. That meant extra time for the Girly and I to sit around in our pj's. Too bad this one put us over our limit and takes one day from spring break.
Tuesday: Last year at this time I was wearing flip flops and trying to find some summer maternity clothes. This year it's snowing. I would like to exchange this spring for last spring.
Wednesday: Gracie Girl got an early birthday present in the mail. I think it's one of the cutest things I've seen in awhile. She likes to take the letters out and chew on them.
Thursday: Our big girl helped da-da take out the recycling. She pushed the bin almost all the way to the front door.
Friday: The Easter bunny came to visit the Girly a little early. A basket full of puffs and other toddler treats = one happy munchkin.
Saturday: We were doing some more 1st birthday shopping and met up with Nana and Pappy for lunch out a Five Guys. The Peanut doing awesome with her eating. She shared a hamburger with me and some fries with Da-da No more texture trouble for our Girl.
Sunday: Someone thinks they are "helping" with the laundry.
Monday: Self feeding may seem like it would be less work for Mom and Dad however, less time spent feeding = more time spent cleaning up afterward.
Tuesday: The Girl is 11 months old! Stats:19-ish lbs. Size 9 month clothes. Size 3 diaper. Size 3 shoe. 8 teeth (all in the front). Eating 3 sold meals / 4 bottles a day. She likes to have caramel rice cakes, chex, string cheese and fig newtons for snacks. Still taking 2 naps, sometimes sleeps through the night.
Favorites: food: anything she can feed herself, toys: stacking cups and activity walker, words: dada and uh-oh. Moved up from the carrier to the rear-facing "big girl"car seat. Went to the chiropractor to get her neck adjusted and hopefully clear up the ear infections she has had.
Wednesday: We picked up these tennis shoes at Target a few weeks ago. The girl loves them! She is pretty good about not taking them off and they give her better traction on the dining room floor.
Thursday: The fur on this boy tells us that spring is coming! He is shedding like crazy. There are tumbleweeds in his pup box and all over the floor. We are contemplating a new sweeper to keep up with all of the fluff.
Friday: These pictures of the Girly were taken exactly 1 year apart. What a difference 365 days makes.
Saturday: Happy Birthday Miss Carol! Miss Carol shared her cake with the Girl and let have her own piece with frosting. She said the Peanut needed to practice for her birthday cake in less than a month.
Sunday: When we went to First Christian our Sunday lunch was always Taco Bell. We haven't been eating there a lot but I wanted to try the new cool ranch locos taco. It was pretty yummy.
Monday: We switched our television back to Dish. Pretty sad you have to switch satellite providers every 2 years to save money.
