NEW PHOTOS!!

Ok..here I am...back into blogging! So many things have gone on since Thanksgiving that I have no idea where to start! Since most of you just check this blog for new pics of Hayley, I suppose I will post a few new ones! She is growing at warp speed and has learned so many new things! She can say Daddy, Go Go Go, Doh-ah (for Dora) and haaah (for Hot..which she refers to my cup of coffee). She is a child with a lot of personality. My mom likes to call her little Tammy because she is a lot like me! She is very opinionated and very impatient! Poor thing!! She is not walking yet..but is learning to stand without holding on to anything and is cruising round the couch, and her activity table! She has found the stairs..so a gate has gone up. She has four teeth, Two top, two bottom and is working on another top one as I type this! We are still having sleeping issues at night! Last night I had to let her cry it out and I thought she was going to throw up she was gagging so much! But..it only lasted 2 and a half min and then she sniffled herself into a slumber! It broke my heart...but she has got to learn that Mommy and daddy arent going to rock her back to sleep everytime she wakes up! Now..if my mom reads this..she is going to be so mad at us..but it has to be done!


She had a blast at her 1st Birthday Party! We only invited family and a few very close friends to the event! It was a great turn out! Aunt Heather did a fantastic job at making her cakes! Hayley loved the icing!!! Again..taking after her mother! She loved all of her presents, especially the Radio Flyer wagon. She has to get in it everyday...


We took her out to eat at her fav. restaurant on her actual b-day! She loves this local Mexican rest. down the street! We have taken her there since she was about 3mths old. She loves the people and all the colorful decor! Should we be worried that her favorite is a budlight sign?? ha ha!

Mark got a new job at the credit union. It is a promotion so we are thrilled. I am also reducing my hours at the store to spend more weekend time with Mark and Hayley. Right now we only get one day together and we usually spend it doing house stuff.

Not much else going on here. We finally have a sunny day today so I hope to get Hayley out for a little while!! We are both getting cabin fever!! For some reason I cant get the pics to load, so here is a video I took of her watching her favorite show..Dora the Explorer! Little did I know that I was going to get more than just her excitement for the show...apparently nature took its course and we got a little more than dancing!! Too funny!!!

Happy Birthday Hayley!!!



Well...I havent kept my promise! I havent bloged since before Thanksgiving. Guess the holidays were busier than I anticipated, then after all of that..it was time to plan Hayley's first birthday party! A great time was had by all i think! We only invited family, and some close friends! We tried to keep it small, as to not overwhelm Hayley. She did great, despite not getting her afternoon nap. She had a blast and so did we. Mark and I both agreed that it was probably one of the best days of our lives! When we brought her home, neither of us had a clue as to what to do, but we made it! While each day and stage brings new challenges, we are so blessed to be parents to such a fun loving, amazing little girl! She is the light of our lives. I have attached two pics. I will load more when I have more time!!!

About Me

I live in GA with my husband of almost nine years and our two slittle girl. I am a stay at home mom and have found this job to be the hardest thing that I have ever done! I think that I struggle everyday, hoping that I am doing everything right and that they will grow up with ethics, morals and respect for herself and other people. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I also love to read and often rely on it to escape and keep my sanity.
