Happy Easter (early)

I know I am horrible at this blog thing. I hate to write...I just like to be snoopy and look at other blogs! We took Adley on an egg hunt a couple weeks ago and she enjoyed putting all the eggs in her mouth and taking them out of her bucket. She turned 10 months old yesterday! I can't believe in 2 short months she will be 1. The year has gone by so fast.

On another note pray for us during another transition time in our lives. Casey's year is almost up here in Duncan and we are not quite sure what God has planned for us next.

Happy Easter tomorrow!

One of Those Days

I am having one of those days where I just want to get OUT of the house and do something. I am not wishing and hoping for Adley to grow up too fast (because she already is) but it's hard at this age to really get her out and do much. She NEEDS a routine and she NEEDS her nap times. If it gets messed up she has a very off day and doesn't sleep at night. Am I the only crazy one who mainly stays at home so that I can keep her nap times consistent??? After her afternoon nap we do get out of the house some and go on walks or to the park. I just wish we lived closer to a mall, a zoo, or some place fun to take Adley. Or I wish I lived closer to friends that have babies Adley's age. She would love someone to play with! Well, I'm off to clean while she naps. Here are some pics for you to enjoy!

9 Months

Happy 9 months to our sweet baby girl. I can't believe in just 3 more months she will be 1!

Adley

Yes, you hear all the time that a baby changes your life forever. You don't realize the full meaning of that until you have one. I cannot even explain to you how much Adley has changed me, but I will try. With all of the trials and struggles we have had I would not take them back at all. This little girl is a HUGE part of my life now. She has no idea how much I love her and how I would do anything for her. She has made me become closer to God, pray more, read the Bible more, learn to not be so selfish, and so many more. As a mommy you have to be on your toes all the time. You have to be making decisions all the time and be so consistent with them. I want to be the best parent possible. I know I will make mistakes but I pray daily that I will raise this little girl the right way and she will love God and know Him. Even today I am molding her into the woman that she will become some day. I love you, Adley, more than you can even imagine.

Is that a boy??

Now I know many people mistake babies for being a boy if they are a girl and vice verse. But it's always funny when they do because of the outfits they are wearing. Adley was wearing a PINK top, an overall jumper dress, and tights this morning to church. Someone comes up to us and asked if she was a boy...uhhh really?!? We feel pretty bad for any boy who would be dressed in that. I guess I should have remembered to put a bow in her hair...no, I'm sure the question still would have been asked. I know people just aren't that observant but it's just funny!

Book

A friend of mine gave me a book that she had used with her baby. It's called Solve Your Child's Sleep Problems and has some really good information. I have done what the book says to do today during nap time and we will do it at night as well. So far it has worked well. I am seeing some much needed sleep in our future as soon as we have this taken care of!

Our Valentine

We gave Adley her presents on Saturday night because we just couldn't wait any longer! She got a soft teddy bear from her Daddy and a fun little toy from me. She loves both of them!! I completely forgot to take pictures of her on Sunday in her cute little outfit. I did get a few pics of her sleeping on her dad that night. Casey got me a pedicure appt for my present and I got him a business card holder thing that goes on his desk. We had a great Valentine's Day! We love our little Adley girl and thank God her her. Sorry the pictures are out of order!
