a little bit of this...a little bit of that...

Dudes...I got my blog printed into a book and it freakin' rocks!  I am so pumped.  I started this blog in January of 2011 so I just printed all of that year into one book.  I will definitely be doing this each year.  I was always so worried that I would lose all of this one day.  I try to save each post into a document but I forget a lot of the time.  Since this blog is basically my journal it was really important to me to have a hard copy of it.  I can't even tell you how easy it was and I don't know why it took me so long to do it!  

Blakely has been learning new things every single day.  She now says quite a few different words and her new favorite thing is to throw her food on the floor.  I am not the biggest fan of this at all.  

I taught her how to hold her first finger up when she is asked "How old is Blakely??".  It took a few days but she has it down now.  So adorable by the way.  I started early because I wanted her to be able to actually do it on her bday.  I need to get a pic of this...  I still can't get her to clap her hands though...been trying that forever!

Lonnie came home from work in the middle of the day yesterday because he was covered in blood from the chest down.  He came home to take a shower and get new scrubs.  He undressed in the garage and left everything out there.  His brand new shoes (which were light gray) are completely red.  Gross.  I tossed everything but the shoes.  I am going to wash them in some oxyclean or something.  We have been together 7 years and he has never ever had to come home in the middle of the day.  It is things like this that stress me about his job.  Getting soaked in someone else's blood?  Not cool....

Blakely went to my mom's on Sunday from about 11 to 630.  I came home and watched football and relaxed most of the day.  Lonnie slept.  It was the ultimate lazy Sunday and I loved every second of it.  I also won my fantasy football game so yay!  

I'm not sure if I ever posted any of B's 6 month pics.  I just finally got the cd...I totally procrastinated.  It was weird to look at them because she is so much bigger now and has WAY more hair!  I couldn't even believe how thin her hair was.  She had just learned to sit up in these pics.  Here are a few of my faves.  

It was freezing that day.  We tried to do some outside ones but that didn't last too long.  

Definitely my favorite one for sure.  





This was the last picture taken.  When B gets sleepy she sucks on the back of her hand.  She has done this forever.  I knew the photo shoot was over when she did this while sitting up!  I love this pic...so sweet.  

Speaking of pics, I need to schedule her one year pictures.  I think I want to do family pictures also.  I'll have to talk Lonnie into that.  

Ok baby is awake from her nap!  Gotta run :)

  2. Ok, can I ask WHY he was covered in that much blood?? Not sure why I want to know, b/c that stuff freaks me out, but it's like a train wreck...I can't look away.

    Chloe drops food too and I hate it! But it's such a game to her and the laughs and smirks she gives as she drops them piece by piece make it so hard for me not to laugh.

    I think we got the girls' skirts from the same place, love them!! And that last picture is so sweet. Frame-worthy for sure!

    Ok, so that last pic is probably the sweetest thing ever. How cute is she?

    Also, I love that you taught her to hold up one finger, I wish I had thought of that!!!!!
