Dr's appointment...

for Aslynn went wonderfully. I just love her Pediatrician more and more with each visit.

For comparison purposes....

at birth:

6lbs 3 oz
19 1/2 inches long

6 months:

15lbs 3oz(30th percentile)
27 inches long(90th percentile)
42cm head circum(95th percentile)



We've started on actual baby food as well. So far we've ventured into sweet potatoes, sweet peas and applesauce. She eats off of a spoon so well. She's starting to teeth, slobbering like a Saint Bernard. She rolls all the time, constantly exploring and taking in new things. She's attempting to crawl also!

Shes growing up so fast :(

Happy 6 months Princess!



The day you were born
One of my favorite pictures of you
Sitting so big in your Bebe pod
Another one of my favorites...your facial expression and hair :)


It's so hard to believe that you have been here for 6 months. Soon it will be your first Christmas, my how these 6 months have flown.

I love you more and more each day little girl and I honestly don't know what my life would be like if you weren't a part of it.

Ten on Thursday

  1. Despite my wish of getting a birthday card from dad this year, I was disappointed. I really wasn't for the simple fact that I knew I would be holding my breath on even getting one. Oh well.
  2. Saturday kicks off the Holiday week for me. Saturday we have Brad's parents Christmas party, Sunday we have Christmas with Brad's paternal step-grandmother and family and then me and the kids will head to Dad's for the gathering at his house. Thursday of course is Christmas and we will be starting the day at our house with the kids, then trekking over to Brad's parent's to open gifts, then we will venture to Brad's Aunt's house for Christmas with his mom's whole family. Think we are done??? NOPE. Then of course we will venture back to Decatur to spend the evening with NiNi and Craig and hopefully Auntie Jo.
  3. Speaking of dad....haha. Long story short, Dad became a married man yet again back sometime in September and they also went out and purchased 20 or 30 acres of land out in B-F-E. Can we say "grandma J money"??
  4. I've officially been a working woman for a month now and honestly I love my job. I work every Saturday and its wonderful, a little slow now and then but I love it.
  5. Monica has a surprise for me tomorrow when I get to work and I've been dying to know what it is since yesterday. I'll post what it was I'm sure this weekend.
  6. Aslynn is eating off of a spoon like a pro!! I can't believe she will be 6 months old soon. AND she is trying to crawl. Where did my baby go?
  7. We took the kids to see Santa tonight and well, my normally laid back, loves everyone son decided he wanted to scream bloody murder the moment he sat on Santa's lap. Aslynn just looked at him like he was silly. He calmed down once the Jolly Ol Fat man gave him a candy cane. Atta boy!
  8. Our sweet little kitten has successfully broken 3 tree ornaments and unwrapped all but one present under the tree....Atleast she hasn't knocked it over yet....
  9. The kid's Christmas presents from Grandma Garner were stolen from us the other day. The delivery man dropped it off at the house while no one was home and someone came to visit our neighbor and saw the box there and took it. Thankfully another person with this person was wonderful enough to bring them back once he saw that there was Christmas presents for children involved. We have pressed charges and are just waiting now. I'm thankful that they were brought back to us.
  10. I am so stoked about my mixer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Prayer Request

If you have a minute please say a quick prayer for a sweet little girl named Kayleigh.

Her story has touched my heart and she needs all of our help to continue to be a little miracle. It also touches my heart because her and Aslynn were born on the same day and yet they are so different because she was born at 23 weeks gestation. She's fought a long battle and if the Lord says its her time, so be it, but yet I want her to make it through this.

Ten on Thursday

  1. I am officially one year older. Monica bought me a chocolate sheet cake and it was much needed and loved!
  2. My bestest buddy Amelia came down from Knoxville to see me for my birthday. She's currently staying with us for a few days and I love it! I haven't seen her since August and before that it was last year.
  3. Amelia brought me Jimmy Johns for my birthday!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!! OMG you just don't even know the love that I have for those sandwiches! mmm they are so entirely yummy and good. The closest JJ is in Franklin, TN or there is one in Birmingham. mm Jimmy Johns. They satisfied any midnight craving while I was in college...they were right down the road from my dorm and better yet, they delievered until 3 am!
  4. I still have a plethora of pictures to upload but am still lacking my camera cable, ugh.
  5. The countdown to Christmas is finally up and going!!! WOOHOO!
  6. I can't wait until Lauren has little baby Rory! It's getting close!
  7. I got the kids Christmas shopping done the other day and I'm honestly excited about this one toy that I bought Aslynn.
  8. I'm having a hard time coming up with 10 things so I think that I'll just stop here!
