milestone ~ first hair cut

2.6.13 ~ Shawn was out at my dad's house all night, putting new brakes on his truck so it was just me and phia tonight all night. (Phia is her nickname that all the boys at daycare call her. And Cale started it actually a long time ago, that's what he has always called her. i think it's adorable!) We stopped by GG's house on our way home from work/daycare and hung out there for a while, then came home and ate dinner and then it was bath time... afterwards I decided that I was going to try and attempt to cut her hair because it really needed it. it's gotten so incredibly long and the ends are just so fine and stringy and dead they needed trimmed. I figured what the hell, worst case scenario it just doesn't happen right. So after her bath while her hair was still wet, I took her into our bathroom and just sat her ontop of the counter and gave her this new toy that she was so fascinated with that I thought it would be the perfect distraction! It was from her happy meal (of course the "boy" toy.lol) and I was right! :) :) :) :) She just sat there the whole time and played with that toy and was such a good little girl! So last night she officially had her "FIRST HAIR CUT!" I'm so excited. I'm not counting all those times that when she had bangs I trimmed them... it was only a couple of times and half of them I had to wait until she was asleep to get it done! haha. So her hair is so smooth and healthy and beautiful now :) And I just can't believe what a good girl she was for me. love her.

Weirdo Junior, milestone

Sooooo I have decided to use my blog also to track Sophia's milestones a little easier. So this way when something happens I can blog it that day, and then once a month or so I can just check here and then write everything down in her baby book. Sounds good in theory right? ;)
Alright, well my baby girl is now apparently a toddler. 2 years old. 26 months. Although you have to stop counting months after 2 years. Pffttt. She's growing up way too freaking fast. So these past two weeks she has decided that she is such a big girl in fact that she is starting to talk in actual sentences more often now, pretty much all the time. She would do it every now and again before, but these past two weeks she has really stepped it up. It's so strange having a somewhat conversation with my little bitty mini me. Seems like just yesterday I was talking to her inside my belly. Sigh.

Picture below:

Having fun at daycare, I love all the pictures that she sends me during the day of my nutball :) 

Oh yeah, I guess I should specify that Weirdo Junior is nickname that Shawn has called Sophia since day 1. Reason behind it is plain and simple: he has always called me weirdo since the beginning.... ;)

Always enjoy the little things

The little things we take for granted everyday, the small, mostly insignificant things. Sometimes they are the moments or memories that you will one day look back to for comfort and happiness.

Whoa that was a little deep.... Haha I didn't mean for it to sound all philosophy-y, it just happened.

Because at this moment right now I am rocking Sophia to sleep. She has already passed out and is just snoozing away on my lap, and I'm just sitting here in complete darkness with no tv or lights on. Just listening to the wind chimes on our house outside go crazy with this ridiculous weather we are having right now. Shawn is staying over at his dad's house all night tonight because he just had rotator cuff surgery. So it's just Sophia and I. And right before she fell asleep she accidentally reared up and smashed her head back so hard on my mouth/teeth that she busted my lip open and it bled and I cried so hard that Chloe even came over and jumped on my lap to make sure I was ok. And somewhere in the mean time Sophia passed out. So here we rock...one big happy family (well minus daddy for tonight). And those are just the thoughts swirling around in my brain with today/tonight's events. Sorry if I'm boring but this is my life and I wouldn't have it any other way :)
-Oh and also, I just downloaded the blogger app on my phone so that's why I'm able to type all of this out while I'm rocking ;) it's pretty amazing. Technology these days. lol, oh and I just realized that I'm averaging one blog post per YEAR. excellent, I'm on a roll. hahaha!

The picture below is just one of those little things that I hold onto. Shawn and Sophia playing blocks over at Papaw's house earlier tonight.

Be safe with this weather everyone! Good night!

This day. . . . .

wow... it's been a while huh? I'm horrible at this.
But I have decided to give it another try. as useless as it may end up to be... :)

My life has been absolutely insane lately. especially the past month or so.
Sophia is growing like a weed.. most specifically- like our weeds at our house. WAY TOO FAST. I just want her to stay mini forever, why must she grow up and one day be forced to live in this cruel world with all these grown up decisions that I can't even make ? sigh.
Today however was probably one of the best days I have had in a VERY long time. For what perticular reason? None really. It was just a moment this morning, after I had dropped the little angel off at daycare, when I came back home to lock myself away in a room to work that I kind of just sat at my computer desk for about 5 minutes, doing absolutely nothing. staring at the blank screen just thinking. about how much i love my wonderful life and how lucky i am to have a beautiful and perfect daughter and amazing husband who loves me for who i am. and then i just decided that it was going to be a great day. :) I wish all of my days started out like this. And I'm going to try and make it happen, starting right now. I simply don't want to let any negativity into my life anymore. there's no use for it. Let's see how long this lasts, huh? ;)

On another today-is-the-perfect-day-note: My mom FINALLY found a house, and as if this isn't the most amazing news to her already, it's only 2 blocks down the road from our house. Now anyone who KNOWS me, should know why this is the perfect end to my perfect day. To have my mom this close to me at all times gives me nothing but joy. --and just saying that out loud and knowing it's true, that we have THAT kind of relationship and love, makes me even more happy. So this just makes me absolutely estatic to have her in my neighborhood. it's going to be great, and I can't wait!

it's 11:03, and i've actually gotten about 70% of what i said i was going to DONE today, so that's pretty good in my book. I finished 3 photoshoots & discs.... (still 3 more to go, but still!) I reorganized my work desk & files, i think i was able to load and run the dishwasher earlier, so that counts as housework right? I forgot to clip Sophia's fingernails after she fell asleep for the night. crap.. :( chalk that up on tomorrow's to-do list. what's that calling my name?....oh yes.... it's my kindle fire....more importantly, it's V whispering to me to come to bed and read.... night peeps
