Random Shots

We have had a crazy week(end)! Saturday I had a women's ministry meeting. The mtg started at 6pm and I didn't leave Steph's until 11:15! The next day we got up for church and I had a show in Nashville that night that I had to get ready for and be there by 6pm. I didn't end up leaving there until around 9pm and it's at least 1.5 hours back here. Then Sean's cousin and his girlfriend, Kym, came in Monday afternoon so I had to clean out a spot for them to sleep in our house! I also thought about taking S.'s team lunch sometime and he told them I would Monday morning, so I had to cook for them. Then Monday night I had another show closer to home and then went out to meet S., Aron and Kym for dinner. I don't think we got home that night until after 9:30pm. Then I had to get up early and take S. to pick up the car. I came home and made muffins and coffee for our houseguests and then talked with them. Then the baby and I took a short nap and then took S. to the airport in Nashville and I stayed there to meet with some ladies to close out their shows and schedule more. A. ended up getting a tummy ache from the turkey/artichoke sandwich I had and cried the whole way home minus about 15 minutes that she slept. SO....the next day we didn't come out of our jammies until about 4pm and got some much needed rest! With all of that being said, if you haven't heard from me in the last few days....this is why!! :)

The Hypochondriac!

S. says to me the other morning, "Did you notice the bags under her eyes?" I didn't really say either way. Then he says concerned, "Do you think she got D*own's S*yndrome? How soon would we be able to tell?"

Cadence Laux

I just wanted to let everyone know that my dearest friend Tiffany had a little baby girl this morning. Her name is Cadence and she weighed in at 8 pounds 1 ounce and is 19" long! She has a head full of dark hair and "big lungs" her mother says! I'm so excited to be able to meet this little one and can't get there fast enough! Right now the baby (and Tiffany!) is really tired from the whole experience. She will latch on, but not much else right now. Pray that they get this b*reastf*eeding thing down.
Father, thank you so much for a healthy and uneventful pregnancy and delivery for Tiffany and little Cadence. You are Awesome! I pray many blessings over this little one! And ask that you give Tiffany and Ryan the guidance to raise her in the way that You would have them.

BOGO

I took S. to the store with me yesterday. (I don't normally, and remarks like this one would be the reason.) I told him, "I'm getting them because they are buy one get one free." S. says, "Well, if you buy NONE, they're all free!"

I've Gotta Get Better

Happy Girl!

Lovin' on her dollie Auntie Natalie gave her.

I copy the month's pictures onto a disc at the end of every month. For the month of May there were only 30 pictures or something rediculous like that. I've got to get better about taking pictures and posting. This is my attempt!

Just Being Cute

Gorgeous blue eyes!

The baby was just playing in her seat the other day and letting me get the rest of my stuff planted in front of the house and letting her daddy stain the back deck. I learned a lot while I was out gardening. I'm wishing that I had finished planting BEFORE I taught bible study on Thursday night about planting seeds! Oh well...now I know! I'll be blogging on that soon, I'll post pictures of the garden as well.

Don't leave her here!

I had a homeshow yesterday. The hostess is the wife to one of our deacons at church. Her sister was at the show. I brought A. along with me, because Dana, my host, told me not to worry about a sitter. She was just being passed around the room at I was doing my demonstration and afterwards Emily, Dana's sister, was holding A. Emily's only son around 3 years old walks into the room crying and says that it is time to go home. He just kept repeating through his tears that it was time to go. She said that was a first for him, she kept asking if he had been hurt or was scared of something. He just kept saying that it was time to go home. Emily put the baby down and Hagen ended up going on to play with his cousins. A little while later I gathered my Homemade Gourmet things and took them out to the car and was going to come back in to put the baby in her seat and go. As I was walking down the front steps, I hear Hagen in the window yelling as loudly as his little lungs would allow, "HEY, DON'T FORGET TO TAKE YOUR BABY HOME WITH YOOOOUUUU!!"

Lovin the Cup

Our little girl is getting so big!! I took her for her 4 month appointment yesterday. Unfortunately, she had to get shots. I hate that. The last time she had shots she didn't react too much. This time she was pretty upset. Just when they actually administered the shot. She was very unhappy and it's hard not to just pull the needles out of her little legs, stop everything and comfort her. :( She is a little over 15lbs and 26". She's doing great. I really liked the pediatrician. He seemed very nice and was really understanding. They want to do and ultrasound of her head in a week or so. The measurement went up quite a bit from last time, but he's thinking that she has just hit a growth spurt and her head was the first thing to start growing....if the Dr. were to see Aislynn's father, he might cancel the tests! ha! I'm not worried. I know she's fine.


I sat her on the couch tonight and gave her a cup for the first time. We are having a hard time with her taking a bottle and I would like to leave her with her daddy every-once-in-a-while. I was told that she might take a cup instead of a bottle. I put water in it. She wasn't too sure when the water squirted into her little mouth. She's too cute.

So big! Holding her own cup!

"Ack!! What's in this?!"

I'm treating her poor little head for cradle cap. My friend Jennifer was nice enough to find a little treatment for her. It's a 3 day process and it should be cleared up by the end of it. Her scalp isn't that bad, but I'm hoping to clear up what little there is.

This one's for Caleb!

A.went with us to the fields the other night and watched S. and me play back to back games. I didn't think it would be so cold, so I didn't have a hat with me. She ended up borrowing Walker's hat...Caleb, it's Lightening McQueen, your favorite! hehe I thought she looked funny, so I had to take a shot! She makes that hat look good!

Giving Daddy some much needed support; he needs to hit the batting cages!

Bebe Pod

Yummy!
