9 MONTHS.... and 13 days


Audrey had her 9 month check up and is doing really great. I was so bummed because they normally don't have to give shots at this check up but because they were out of one last time she ended up having to get one. She is pretty much a nightmare at the doctors because she gets so nervous. As soon as the nurse or doctor touch her she starts screaming and screaming, and honestly if you've never heard my daughter scream you will never understand what this is like. But, the good news is she is developing great and that is such a blessing.

She took her first step last Sunday, but still hasn't quite figured out the walking thing. I tried to get a picture of her standing up but she wouldn't cooperate. She is such a mover and a groover she can't bear to sit still. She has a little temper and gets really upset when we do something she doesn't like... kinda makes me nervous, I mean seriously she is only 9 months isn't that supposed to happen in the 2's. She HATES her car seat, crib, being put down because she needs to see what's going on, and most baby food. She LOVES to laugh, play, clap her hands, talk, nurse, her Granny Jules, anything grown ups eat, books, baths, going outside, the mirror, pictures of herself,  and getting into everything.

Things I worry about right now: weening off of nursing, getting her to sleep in her crib, 

I seriously adore her! Being a mom is a lot harder than anticipated, but I think that has a lot to do with Audrey's personality :) This last week I wasn't able to take care of her as much as normal due to the kidney stone and the flu, I thought I was missing out so much. I'm so lucky I get to be home with her and be able to love her every minute of the day :)

Hello, Amelia! I linked to your blog from Hel's blog, and thought I'd introduce myself since we seem to have a few things in common. I'm LDS, married in the SL Temple 23 years ago, husband's an FBI guy and I'm a music teacher and mom. Anyway, if you're curious as to what your life might look like in 20 years or so, come on over to my blog! (I'm normal and safe, I promise!)

Happy New Year!

 We thought we’d bring some new energy to 2021 by completely tearing our house apart and getting our carpets cleaned. The cleaners were scheduled for December 30th, so we pulled everything out of bedrooms and gave the walls and baseboards a good scrub. In order to allow the carpets time to dry we didn’t want to walk on them so we used Elliott’s points and got a hotel up in the Woodlands. We stayed at the Marriott along the waterway and it was beautiful. There ended up being a storm that night which was unfortunate because we weren’t able to walk down the waterway and enjoy the whole scene up there. We ordered Shake Shack from Uber Eats and watched Hook all snuggled up in our beds. It was a perfect evening.  Once we returned home we got to work putting bedrooms back together then later that night celebrated the new year! It’s become tradition for us to do taste tests with the kids blindfolded. We did different flavored oreo’s and ice drinks. We ordered Buffalo Wild Wings and wa...

Good Morning

Our kids don't sleep in. If they make it past 6:30 it's an extremely rare occasion. The problem with this is that Pete and I are not exactly morning folk. We make goals that say we will be in bed before 10pm, but after a week or so we are back to staying up way to late. Having Netflix is not helping either. We love watching documentaries and could watch them all night long. Every morning looks a little something like this. Our kids full of energy and ready to conquer the day, while Pete and I are wanting to kill ourselves.

Summer Movies

We've been having a great time going to the Summer Movie Fun at Harkins. It's super cheap and a nice way to get out of the house to do something. I didn't know what to expect with my kids, but it has worked out perfectly. Other than Audrey having to go potty 3 times EVERY movie she sits really well through them. Brandon normally takes his nap and it's a very enjoyable time.
