Many thank yous

Mary Reilly

I thank god everyday for you. Thank you for sleeping threw the night and waking up at 9 every morning. Thank you for every morning you greet me with a smile. Thank you for when I keep you up late you still have enough energy to smile. Thank you for making me laugh and for not crying.Thank you for drooling on your dress..it gives me a reason to put another one on you. The only time you really cry is if you are hurt or hungry. I am so proud I have such a sweet daughter. If I could change one thing I would leave everything just they way you are. You are the reason I get up in the morning despite your talking. Thank you for almost saying momma (sort of). Thank you for letting me put bows in your hair and not pulling them out..yet.

Mary Reilly..Thank you for being you.

I love you to the moon and back and beyond.

2nd post today!

I was in Mary Reilly's drawers and found some things that just don't fit her anymore. These hats I just had to put on one last time. I am really bummed about the bonnet.

Pics of Ladson/Mary Reilly turns 5 months!

I asked for some pictures of Ladson and this is what I got. He said it's his war face. Only 2 more months then he will be home for r&r (his 2 weeks off). I can't wait!

I don't have a new picture of Mary Reilly. I am a slacker! I wish you a happy 5 months old! She is doing something new everyday and I am loving it. I can't wait until her daddy can see her. It's going to be a big change from the 2 week old baby he left.

Lots of pics!!

Ladson's dad took Mary Reilly and I out to the Yacht club. Thank you sooo much. It was really good.
Waiting at Dallas Fort Worth Airport today I noticed Mary Reilly SUCKING HER TOES!!!! I saw her do this before but I had a chance today to catch this! It's so funny to watch. She is teething and drooling. She was rubbing her big toe on her gums. Yummy

While I was in South Carolina we went to the beach. This is Mary Reilly's bikini. Isn't she so cute!!! I just love the sunglasses.
Once a South Carolina girl always a South Carolina girl! (I know she wasn't born there but her parents are from there...That makes her a from there..I am crazy!)
Mary Reilly and my dad
Mary Reilly has a new friend! English is so cute. She is having a baby sister coming soon. She will be a really big help to her momma.
I don't know if this is a southern thing but us southern girls put our babies in the sink (for baths). Mary Reilly is getting so big. She is starting to sit by herself.

Thanks for understanding

Skinny Jeans!!!

OK so I did gain...some baby weight. After I had Mary Reilly I could not even get a leg in these. Well after not eating any carbs for a week look at me now!!! Ok, they might be alittle snug and tight but they actually button. Yes Ladson I can sit down in them :) I just had to brag just a little. Hey these Rock and Republic jeans were like almost $200! I better get my fat (you know) into them again!

My diaper stalker

I put Mary Reilly down on the blanket and when to go get my laptop in the bedroom. This is where she was when I came back into the room. How did she get over there so quickly? Wow that baby can move. No more on the couch for her. I am afraid she will roll off.

When I was pregnant I bought diapers in advance. I didn't know how many or how much to buy so needless to say I bought too much. I bought most of my diapers at the commissary. The commissary (for those non military peeps) don't really have any mark ups and you don't pay any taxes. So I bought too many packs of size 2 diapers. Mary Reilly is growing so fast she is now in a size 3! There was a case sale on a number of items and I saw pampers for $16! I understand that they usually are around $20 or so. I decided to just buy these because this is the longest size a baby will be in. I should have bought two cases!

Anyway on to my stalker. I was in the baby food aisle and this lady comes to me and asked if she could have a diaper. For first time parents, diapers and formula are like gold. I couldn't tell her I didn't have any since I had them in my hand. I kinda just ignored her and went to the check out. Oh by the way, the commissary has self check out! This is very exciting for us Ft hooders! The lady proceeds to follow me to the check out lane, waits with me, then ask again if she can have one. I had no choice. What if I was in that situation. I would want someone to give me one. Did I mention I was in the commissary? Where they sell diapers. I did ask her what size her baby wears since she was about 1 year old thinking I could get out of it that way. No, she just wanted the diaper. I finally had to open the box right then and give her one. Do I have a sign on my face that says free hand outs? In a way I do believe in karma but man couldn't she just go buy a pack. I thought it was strange that she followed me and didn't know the size so I did tell a clerk. Who knows if she was even hers.
