This is my outfit for today. I've been wanting to post more outfit/fashion related posts. Mostly because I'm trying to branch out and try new things and also just because it's fun.

I thought I would share and link-up with The Pleated Poppy.

My "Lot In Life"

My "Lot In Life"

Welcome to my "Blog Every Day in May Challenge" that I am participating in going on over at Jenni's Story of My Life.

Go see the list HERE for the whole month.

Disclaimer: I know it is not May anymore, but I only got half way through the month and want to finish with these topics. 

Day 16 for Thursday, May 16th: Something difficult about your "lot in life" and how you're working to overcome it.

I know this may sound sorta cliche, but I don't think I have a so called "lot in life." Certainly I have had things happen in my life that have changed me or my perspective on life.

A few examples:

My sister, Keli Jo, dieing when I was in 6th grade;

Various other loved ones deaths;

My rocky relationship with my Dad growing up (which is a 1000% better than it has ever been);

The miscarriage I had back in the summer of 2010.

All my experiences have made me who I am today, but I wouldn't say it's my "lot in life." I love my life and feel that I am very lucky and fortunate to have it. I say my prayers every night with Hailey and we talk to God about all our blessings. I wouldn't change it for anything.

This is you at 18 months.

Your smile is infectious.

You have the cutest little dimples.

You love grilled cheese sandwiches and french fries.

You love milk and apple juice.

You are still wearing size 4 diapers.

You are still wearing 18 month clothing for the most part.

You are just starting to get into a few 24 month clothes.

You met Santa for the second year in a row on December 2, 2012.

I thought you were going to be OK, with no tears. No such luck.

You were scared outta your mind.

You will love these pictures when you get older.

You got a big bear from our friend Kia.

You love it.

You are starting to develop the best little personality.

You have such a sense of humor and are so funny just like your Daddy.

You still love to explore new spaces.

You do so many fun things and activities at school.

You love to get messy at school.

You still love bath time.

You love to look out the big window.

You are just so curious!

You had other plans for Mama's moving boxes.

You have Mama's long toes.

You moved to a new house on Friday, December 14, 2012.

You also got a new room.

You had climbed out of your crib just before we moved, so we decided to turn your crib into a toddler bed.

You do such a good job (most of the time) at bedtime and staying in bed now that you can get out.

You are a mover and are all over the place when you sleep.

You like to sleep with your blanket over your face. Mama doesn't like that so much.

You were falling out of bed, so we put down pillows and a blanket down on the floor.

You are still so cute in your little peacoat.

You get so many compliments on your penquin hat.

You love going to Birdtown Cafe and helping out the crew.

You met Santa again at Birdtown and did much better this time.

You were somewhat hesitant to open Christmas gifts, but soon got the hang of it. Daddy helped you at first.

You then got the hang of it and could hold your own.

You still love anything Vikings. You got a new hoodie and shoes for Xmas.

You did such a good job sitting in church on Christmas Eve.

You opened your stocking from Grandma Kimmy on Christmas Day.

You love your new bean bag chair from Green Grandma.

You were moved up from the Busy Babies room to the Toddler room at school.

You have a new bin.

You still cry when we drop you off at school, but while you are there you have such a good time.

You are the best bed time snuggler.

You give the best kisses.

You are just the most precious thing to us and we love you so much, Hailey!!!
