What I Decided Tonight....

I was looking at pictures tonight and, of course, my hair was full and beautiful while I was pregnant & the months after while still breastfeeding. Now it's blah! Blah. I know part of it is due to hormones, but prenatal vitamins play a part, too. So, I'm going back on the pills.
To Sarah, my wonderful sister-in-law and hairdresser, I will have to be seeing you more often because they make my hair grow like crazy & reveal my sneaky wrong-hair-color roots!! But I don't care. I want pretty hair, and luckily I don't mind seeing you more! :) Be nice to my pocketbook, please!

Bath Time



Our friend Melissa got Adeline this little boat and walrus bath toy for her birthday. I don't know what it is about that silly walrus, but she LOVES it! She shrieks when she sees it like she forgot it was there all day until bath time, and she's so protective of it the whole time she's in the bathtub!

12 Months!

Hearing Aid Update

Who knew hearing aids were soooo expensive?!!
The audiologist just dropped a bomb on me, and I called our insurance (school insurance,btw), that I pay a small FORTUNE to have the highest coverage on, and they have absolutely no coverage for hearing aids. I will be sending my 8 year old to school with $2000 in each ear! Scary. I'm calling around to get second opinions and check with groups that work with the school district. Maybe we'll get lucky! So we are on hold for a few weeks. I still can't wait for that kid to fully hear. Then I'll know if he really can't hear me or if he just ignores me! Ha

1st day of School



Baylor is in 3rd grade!! He got to cross over the wood floor at his school and he's now on the other end of the building with the "big" kids!! My great friend Kristie is his teacher, so I know he's completely safe!! :)

Adeline's Birthday Party!





Adeline's party was sweet and perfect. Thanks to everyone who came to celebrate with us. She's officially ONE!! We even got to hang out in Kemah with Uncle Justin, Aunt Theresa and the kiddos!

Another Story of Nana Perky Buying Baylor Stuff!

We stopped by Lake Charles after our Florida vacation and were leaving early the next morning, so when Baylor mentioned Nana maybe taking him to Target to buy him stuff, I said absolutely not and he better not dare say anything. Not 10 minutes later, Nana Perky asked him about going to Target, so he made her come to tell me because he thought I wouldn't believe him. So I agreed they could go & when Nana left the room, this is what he says (keep in mind Nana shops EVERY day almost)>
Baylor: I promise she asked me, and I didn't say anything.
Me: I know. I believe you.
Baylor: Mom, I think she really likes it when I come over and she gets to bring me to Target because I don't think Nana Perky gets to shop very much!
Haha! I thought that was soo funny. He thinks he's helping Nana by allowing her to buy him stuff at Target!

Baylor's Hearing Update

So the dr. found no fluid behind Baylor's ears (have I not been saying there wasn't any for 2 years??), so now we can rule that out and just say he has a hearing loss. We go back to see the dr. this week to see about getting him some little hearing aids. Boy, I can't wait to hear the television at a normal volume and not have to say "Baylor" 10 times before he hears me!! Now, if only we could get Adam some hearing aids, too....hmmmmmmm....... :)

Adeline's Party!

I've been working hard on all of Adeline's party stuff. I've made cupcake toppers, a banner,favor tags, thank you cards, the invitation, & pompoms to hang! Now we are just ready for the party day. Of course, everyone will be squished into our house like sardines. Hopefully, we will be in a different house before next birthday. Here is her invitation. Cuteness!

Adeline is ONE!
