Happy Monday!


Here is all the random things swirling around in my head...

1. We purchased Hailey's new car seat a few weeks ago. We got the Evenflo Triumph 65 LX Seat in Cocoa Fizz.

It's rated great for safety and not as expensive as Britax. I know EVERYONE under the sun has a Britax, but we wanted to get something safe AND affordable because we need one for each vehicle. At first I felt guilty for not going with Britax, but then I was dismissed that thought and so far we love it and so does Hailey. Which in reality that's all that matters!

2. I am so behind on getting pictures organized and uploaded, getting posts written, together and done. I am slowly getting caught up on all my blogs I follow. I got behind for about 3 weeks and in the blog world that feels like 3 years! I feel so disconnected when I don't know what's happening with them! I did get the Google Reader app on my iPhone and love it. Thanks to Tara for the suggestion via Twitter. Now where ever I go I can keep up with it and not get behind. Now I just need to get caught up.

3. I photographed a small wedding on Saturday. It's their 2nd wedding to each other. Yes, that's right they are getting married again after getting divorced. It was so neat to be apart of and see their children and grandchildren participate in the day as well. It was very sweet.

4. I desperately need to go shopping and update my summer wardrobe. Last summer I was still pregnant and/or post pregnancy. Now, a year later, things just don't fit the same as they did beforehand (pre-pregnancy), 2 summers ago now. Your body does really change forever. Not in a bad way by any means, but it just changes.

5. The Hubs and I were in LA last weekend. It was a work trip for him, but it was mostly play to be honest. We had a great time and I will be posting about it soon (hopefully).

6. Now that we have the traveling bug, we are planning a trip to New York for the end of June. Neither one of us have ever been and we are so excited to go and explore the city with Hailey! It will also be over her first birthday. Wayne's Aunt Dana lives there and we are going to be there at the same time as Green Grandma. So we are SO excited!

7. I'm so pumped for the new season of the Bachelorette, which starts tonight. 


Can not wait for this season to start! 

8. I'm also excited to see all the different shows that are being renewed for more seasons.

 One I though was going to for sure get cancelled, did not. Hart of Dixie!

 They have cancelled Pan Am, though, which I am so sad about, but most of my shows are coming back, including the final season of Gossip Girl.

9. I had a great first Mothers Day and will be posting about that soon, too! I hope all you Mommies out there had a great day as well. Whether you are pregnant or are a Mommy to fur-baby(ies), that still counts in my book!!!!

10. I have not jumped on the Fifty Shades of Grey bandwagon as of yet. I know! Don't kill me! I am still getting through the Girl with the Dragon tattoo series and I love it, but I just don't have much time to read these days, so I am getting behind with books as well as movies as well as TV. Ugh. I know I will get to it all eventually. I just have to take it in stride.

I know I've been MIA. It's been crazy in our household for awhile now. I have so much to catch you up on! But in the meantime, here is a fun post to keep you occupied!


I am actually having Target withdrawals. I haven't been in an actual Target store for about a week and a half and haven't bought anything fun from Target for almost a month. And by fun I mean anything besides baby formula or baby foo.

I know! I'm dying! 

Here are a few things in the new Webster collection that I found online. I found a couple cute things for Hailey and then of course a couple for me! Webster is one of the new "shops" at Target.

This is you at 10 months old:

Photobucket

You're saying: "I can't believe I'm 10 months already!"

Photobucket

You wouldn't sit still for Mommy to take pictures and you wanted to pull the 10 month sticker off  the whole time.

On April 11th you went to the Dr for your 9 month check-up and...

You weighed 21 lbs 12 oz.(91%).

You were 29 inches long (87%).

Your head was 18 inches round (89%).

You are trying, eating and loving so many different foods. You name it and you've probably tried it.

You love your snacks.

Photobucket

You see Mommy and Daddy eating and you are immediately by our sides or begging for some.

You are now eating about 6 oz of milk for daytime feedings and 8 oz before bed.

You have started drinking just water out of your sippy cup.

You are still going to bed at about 9pm and sleeping until about 8am...on average.

You woke up so early one morning and fell asleep in your chair during breakfast.

Photobucket

You are walking!!

Photobucket


You are clapping when we say "Yay!" 

You raise your hands when we say "So big!"

Photobucket

You love to be outside.

Photobucket

You love when Daddy pushes you in your car.

You are going after the dogs more and more now that you can walk, but they are still OK with you.

Photobucket

You have gotten so vocal and are talking and screaming all the time.

You love to watch Ellen!



You also love the cartoon "Super Why."

Photobucket 

You still put everything in your mouth.

You are still drooling, but I feel not as much.

You still go through about 3-4 bibs a day.

You are always on the go.

You are Mommy's little shopper.

Photobucket

You have figured out how to climb up stairs.

Photobucket

You like to crawl into your toy bin.

Photobucket

You had a great first Easter. You can see that post HERE!

You have really started showing us your personality.

You made your TV modeling debut. You can see that HERE!

You get mad at us when we take something away from you.

You're eyes are turning hazel.

You are growing right on track, but are still our peanut.

You still love bath time, but I think you are scared when the water runs and is loud.

Photobucket

You are scared of the vacuum and the hair blow dryer.

You are now wearing mostly 12 month clothes and even a few 18 month pajamas.

Your giggle is the best thing in this entire world.


You are still wearing size three diapers.

You still have your two bottom middle teeth and two top middle teeth.

You love to make funny faces.

You are so alert and always watching people.

You are so curious.

You are just so very precious to us and we love you so much.

You are the light of our life!

Photobucket

We love you so much!
