About this picture...

So my sisters have made some comments about this pic of Lila that I posted on my Facebook page. The night I posted the pic I had just finished adding captions to all the pics and then my computer froze. That is why my sisters were left wondering. Well, this is not a picture of my baby in a straight jacket. It is her Woombie. It is the BEST swaddling device. The first night I put Lila in it she slept for five hours straight. This was when she was about 7 weeks old. At the time it was a record. Unfortunetly, Lila outgrew her Woombie in record time. I think we only used it for two weeks or so and then she was too big. I wish I had discovered it before she was born. The great thing about it versus just swaddling your baby in a blanket, is that they can still move their arms a little bit to get comfy, but they can't flail around and wake themselves up. It is made of stretch cotton and a little spandex and it zips right up. It is amazing and not a torture device!!

That would have been a life saver for Addy! She busted out of swaddling so fast, I definitley need one for the our next kids:)

All the emotions

By
Moving of course brings up all sorts of thoughts and feelings. As I declutter and go through all of our stuff I get distracted with the memories that items bring up. I've had moments of sadness and feeling like time flies far too quickly. But of all the feelings, the most overwhelming one has been joyful gratitude. All my reflections on these years here in Austin, and most especially this last year have made me realize how far I've come in my life. This year I have achieved just about all I could ever hope for in life. I've come to love life with all it's ups and downs. I've learned how to roll with the punches and keep my chin up when things get tough. I've truly learned to put myself at the top of the priority list. I have more of myself to give than ever before. I've learned how to give and receive friendship. I've come to love and accept myself as I am. I know I am stronger than ever (and not just my muscles, but truly I think I am physically at my...

Well, I've found out that a middle aged man has been coming on my blog and looking at pictures of my children.  I am obviously very uncomfortable with this, so it's time to go private. I'm happy to let any of you continue reading, as long as I know you and know you're not creepy! Just post your e-mail address and I'll add it to the list :o)

Lila is 2!!

By
Where did the time go? My baby is two and not really a baby at all. We love her to pieces and can't imagine life without her. She continues to learn things quickly and is already starting to read. Just kidding!! Just wanted to see if you were reading my post. Lila loves to learn, but she's not a genius (sorry sweetie--your genes aren't that good!). Lately she's been learning the sounds the letters make (she learned the alphabet at 16 mos.) and by sight she recognizes the words "cat", "dog", "Mom", "Dad", and "Lila." She knows all the colors (although her colorblindness sometimes gets her mixed up on red and green...those darn genes again!), shapes, and numbers 1-15. She enjoys singing, playing the "I Spy" game, running, climbing, going to nursery on Sunday, bike rides, looking at books, and going to the library. Oh yeah, and did I mention that she likes chocolate just as much as I do?? Maybe I shouldn't ha...
