Thank Heaven For Little Girls!

It is hard to believe that one year ago today we found out that our sweet little peanut was going to be a girl!! I will never forget the look on Dan's face!! And the questions that came up with so quickly about what life may be like with a girl! He quickly flashed forward to life with a 14 year old! Something neither of us want to spend anytime thinking about again!

The fun we have already had with this girl has been too much! She keeps us so entertained and I can not imagine what they years to come will bring!! I know that this girl will be a total blast, especially if the last 6 1/2 months are anything to go by!!

On an update notice Em is taking to eating solid foods like a pro!!! We have been through the orange category (carrots, squash and sweet potatoes) and we will next be moving on to the yummy greens! Hope she likes those as much as she has the orange goodies!! Then after we get through a couple of those we will try out some fruit.

Unfortunately she is not quite sleeping through the night anymore!! She seems to like getting up at 12:30 or 1 for a feeding, although she does go right back to sleep so we cant complain too much! But WOW, we are ready for her to get into a routine of sleeping through the night again! I am sure once we get it down again, teething will just flare back up! All part of it right!!!

We are off to Evansville for the weekend for a much needed visit with the family there! Looking forward to catching up with everyone and a night out with the gang!

Emmas 6 Month Photos

We did Emmas 6 Month photo session with my great friend Rachael Ice right after Christmas. Rachael just started leasing out some studio space so we got to play around! It was too fun and of course Emma loved it!!

Here are some of my favorites!!!

Getting Things In Order

I challenged myself this year with trying to get things in order, this is much more than a resolution. I want to get the house in order, my day to day task in order, my work stuff in order, my closets in order, my body in order! Well you get the idea, the list goes on and on!!

We are making some progress with getting one of the rooms in the house in order! We have an extra bedroom that has served as an extra bedroom for sometime, but we simply arent getting too many house guests these days! I guess sleep overs with a 6 month old arent appealing to some - I have no idea why not?!? Well, with my guidance, we decided the back bedroom would be more useful as a playroom/craft room. We know that Emma will simply be aquiring more toys as the months go by and we figure why not get that room ready to be a suitable play room. We also would like to designate a small corner for me to have a craft work area. There are a ton of projects that I love working on, but it can be hard pulling everything out, working at the ktichen table and then putting everything back when I am done. A little space for my stuff would be awesome!! I have been searching the web for some inspiration and some of the craft rooms out there are AMAZING!!!!!!! I would give up my bedroom for some of them :)

As many others, I am on a mission to get us eating healthy and in shape. The healthy eating is going pretty good. Way less meals out and yummy groceries coming from Whole Foods, that part has been easy! I am just struggling with getting back in they gym. I get there quite a few times last month, but if I cant get there at my lunch break I struggle! As soon as that clock hits 5 I want to get straight to daycare and pick Em, everything else can be put aside. I only have a few hours of time with her each day and I am just not ready to give those hours up at the silly gym!!!

Keep watching for progress updates as I work on getting things in order - who knows what they will be :)
