I mentioned before that Hazel is the best toy we own. The second best toy? A water bottle full of junk. My sister got this idea through Parents as Teachers (a service I wish we had in Houston!) and it was always a huge hit with her kids. Arden has since joined the fan club--she might even be the president. I'm telling you, she LOVES this thing! And when I take it to playgroups it is always the toy the babies go for first. I even made one as part of a birthday ...
Slacking.
Wow, did I fall off the blogging bandwagon last week or what?! I will be better this week…promise. So why not start Monday off right with an M&M pic? Did I mention we have a new playroom? I still have a lot of work to do before I can file it in the "done" folder in my brain…but expect some pictures soon. And just know that this new rug is probably going to be in the background of 90% of my pictures from here on out. I don't think I'll mind :) Arden's face ...
Arden: 6 Months!
Length: 26.5 inches Weight: 16lbs 10oz Head Circumference: 17 inches Milestones this month: Sitting up like a big girl! You are loving the new view! Eating solids. So far you've tried rice and oatmeal cereals, and just a few days ago we introduced bananas. This is how you felt about the bananas :) First teeth! Your bottom two came one right after another. You were a little bit needier during the teething process and you had a slight fever one day…but other than that, you were ...
Sisterly Love
Hazel is the best baby toy we own. Arden can spot her from across the room, out of the corner of her eye, in the dark. She loves her furry sister and I hope the feeling will continue to be mutual :) And while I'm sharing videos, I thought this one was pretty cute too. There's not a lot of quiet time around our house these days--but I love it! I overheard Chris asking Arden if she'd ever heard of the "silent game" the other day-HA! I think he's concerned ...
What’s New
What's new around here, you ask? Well let me see... This chick has not one, but TWO new teeth! And a lot of sass... …and apparently getting chompers makes you want to do other exciting big-girl things, like sitting up on your own! …and sitting up on your own makes your parents want to try new things out on you while they're out to eat. And the last change? This beautiful new blog design! I had an idea in my head and Shannon brought it to life…and ...
Love Day!
I've always liked Valentine's Day as an adult, but having a child has made me LOVE it again. Lord help me when Arden is old enough to take Valentine's to school. Someone sign me up to be the room mom for that party!!! :) We celebrated the day of love for 2 days at our house. Is it because I love it that much? Not quite…actually because I couldn't think of anything to make for dinner on Wednesday, so I made what I had planned for Valentine's Day instead. Nice, huh? Here's ...
