Anna Grace has been sleeping through the night for about two week except last night. We were up twice! Once at 2:30 and 4:30. I stopped nursing 2 weeks ago so I was prepared with formula and bottle right by my bed. She finally went to sleep around 5 am.
When I went to go get her from her crib this morning (no more sleeping in mom and daddy's bed) she had this in her mouth. I thought it was very clever of her to pick this up and put it in her month all by herself. Such a smart girl! She has been sucking on the passie all morning.


The other day I caught her on all fours rocking back and forth. This means she will be crawling in no time!!

On Thursday I cut 10 inches off my hair. Sorry for the bad picture. It's hard taking a picture of yourself. My hair lady wouldn't let me see the floor when she was finished. I thought I would regret it but I don't (at least not yet) The Anna G would pull my hair out so I knew it was time to cut my hair.

Thursday night I came home after getting my hair done to cook dinner and these 2 cute things were at my feet. They were rolling around and laughing on the floor.

I hope everyone has a good weekend. We were suppose to get snow but when we woke up there wasn't any. Ladson said we are getting it later this morning. We will see.

I am a bad photographer!

I think this picture would be great if there wasn't a chain link fence in the way...oh well!
Little kids playground ( to my back is the much bigger playground) Tried to capture the sun.

Our day at the park

Very cold Anna Grace.

In a few months you can play Anna Grace

Our park in down the street. No one uses it (especially when it's 30 degrees outside) so we take every opportunity to play. If it's sunny you can find us there!

Commissary Deals!

Commissary deals thanks to Saving like CRAZY!

bike trailer

I never thought in a million years I would want or even think about buying one of these. It's a bike trailer for the kids. I would attach my bike (I don't own a bike) to this. I think the girls would love to ride in this. I have been thinking about summer and the pool. Since there is only about 100 people that live on post the pool should be nice and quiet. The pool is about a mile or so from our house. I am debating on if it is easier to drive over there or ride a bike. I could use the exercise. Does anyone have one? Is it easy to pull?

Old vs New

To my old dishwasher,
I am sorry I complained about you. You were old and very loud. Your wheels on your top drawer kept falling off. You were very inefficient but you did what you were suppose to do. You CLEANED! You cleaned every bottle, every dish, every glass.....Where are you? Are you in some dishwasher heaven cold and lonely?

Everyone on the block told me to keep you but I didn't listen. I thought maybe I would get a new and better dishwasher...instead I got her

She is new, white and very very BAD! I can't help the Army purchased you 2 years ago. Stuck you in a warehouse and forgot about you. Is not washing my dishes your payback? You don't even clean the baby's bottles! Your sole existence on this earth is to clean and you can't even do that. I will continue to use you but please please CLEAN MY DISHES!

More pictures of Anna Grace

Mary Reilly is still sleeping so she can't partake in the picture session. As I sit here watching last weeks Grey's Anatomy she is scooting across the floor. One day she will be in another room! Kids grow up so fast!

Frames

I have had these pictures for quite some time. I knew I was moving when both were taken/drawn. I just had them framed today.

The first one is Mary Reilly when she was around 10 months old. Mary Reilly first Christmas. My brother drew it.

The second set was taken this Christmas by Crescent Moon Photography in Charleston. I am so happy with how they turned out.

Philidelphia for the day

Outside the Art Institute
This was my favorite "art" thing. If I made something out of crates would it be considered art?

Reading Terminal Market

This was were Man vs. Food ate in Philly. If you don't know who or what channel he is on click here. Ladson had the sandwich he ate. Mary Reilly and I ate a brisket sandwich.

This was probably the best place to go for lunch if you visit. They have every kind of food you can imagine.

Yep, it has a crack!

Anna Grace outside the Liberty Bell

Something went wrong with my camera...**Remember my camera was my dad's...I don't have a manual.** I think the pictures kinda pretty like this anyway.

New layout and new blog name

My blog is changing...background and name...I figured it's a new year and a new state so why not! I am currently working on a new banner for my blog. I have it finished but can't seem to get the sizing just right. Hopefully it will be up and running soon until then have a great weekend!!!

oops!

Apparently I didn't get the memo it was 2010. Oops :)

Rody

Rody is this blue donkey Ladson's Grandparents bought the girls for Christmas. We didn't blow him up until we moved here. It's was easier to move that way. The girls absolutely love him. Mary Reilly bounces all around the room. Even Anna Grace likes him! You can get your very own Rody at Wonder Works or here.

Anna Grace turns 6 months!

I can't believe it's been 6 months! She has mastered rolling over. We giggle and smile all the time. She also "scoots" across the floor. Anna Grace is such a good baby. We are so lucky!!
