Just wanted to share some pictures of my funny girl! She would not be still and was dancing and playing the whole time I was trying to get her picture. Happy Thanksgiving! We have a lot to be thankful for this year!</div>

I had been telling Cody that I really wanted a weekend away with just the 2 of us before our 2 newest family members arrived and we were busy for, well...the rest of our lives! He wanted to plan it and not tell me anything and he did a great job keeping it a secret! The only thing he told me was that the weather would be similar to Nashville's so to pack like we'd be at home all weekend. He pretended to slip up and tell me where we were going at least a hundred times, so it didn't surprise me when 2 days before our trip, he slipped up and said something about "the weekend after Chicago". I laughed it off and tried to move on, but he was so mad he had just said that, that he gave himself away and I knew where we were going. I was so excited to say the least! He was not excited I had found out when he worked so hard to keep everything a secret and tried to tell me that he changed the trip and we were now going to Atlanta. When we got to Atlanta, it was just a layover and we went to Chicago! We had such a great time. I was tired and swollen from walking so much and we had to rest a lot. By that point, I was 22 weeks pregnant with Hayden and Charlie and was starting to really slow down (Don't worry - Cody had the hospitals mapped out in case we needed one). Besides that, we saw everything we wanted to. We went on an architecture boat tour, which was beautiful. We went to the Science and Industry Museum, ate Chicago-style pizza, and went to Navy Pier. I have to say that the best part of the whole trip is that Cody budgeted time and money (we are big budgeters) for me to have a shopping spree on the Miracle Mile all day on the first day we were there. Major bonus points for the hubby! I've never had a shopping spree and it was SO fun. I think he might have been regretting that decision about 2 hours in to H&M shopping. It would have been a lot worse except that I was pregnant so I couldn't try many things on. I wasn't about to waste money on maternity clothes - YUCK! So fun! Thanks, honey. You truly are the best! :)</div>

<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">It's been entirely too long since I have blogged and there's A LOT to catch up on. I almost quit, but remembered that the main reason I do this is for my girls so that they have something to look back on. I'm going to jam a lot into a few posts probably and then try to do better! Here goes!</span>

So - after the last blog of us at the beach, I found out (the day we got home actually) that I was pregnant again! Yay! We were so thrilled! When I was about 5-6 weeks along, I had some complications and called my doctor's office. The nurse told me to come on in and they would do a quick ultrasound to make sure the baby had implanted correctly and that I hadn't miscarried. She said to be there in an hour. I called Cody to let him know, but he had an important meeting he couldn't skip out on, so he couldn't be there. I thought that was no big deal. I was sure everything was fine, so there was no real reason for him to drop everything to come with me. So me and Everleigh went to the doctor by ourselves. The ultrasound tech told me that with it being so early she wasn't going to tell me anything about what I was looking at and that I would have to wait on my doctor to give me the report. There was no need for her to tell me what I saw on that machine. It was clear as day. 2 little sacs with tiny dots in each one were up on that screen. I laughed for a few seconds and then asked her if what I was seeing was really 2 sacs. She stopped the test and put her hand on my leg and said, "Yes, honey. There are 2." That's all I heard her say even though she was still talking. I was in complete shock. 2 BABIES!! Was I even ready for 1 more baby? I had been doubting that! And now there were 2 coming. I was in shock for a long time. I waited and saw my doctor - shaking - and then called Cody from the car. I wanted to tell him in person so I asked if I could come up to his work. Of course, this freaked him out because he thought something must be wrong if I wouldn't tell him over the phone. So I said, "The baby is okay. And so is the other baby." I think he might have thought I was talking about Everleigh except that then I started crying hysterically. If anyone else has ever been told they were having twins and were not expecting it, you may know the feeling. I had a million thoughts running through my head - how was I going to work? (you aren't going to); how are we going to afford 3 children? (prayer, faith and a hard-working husband); do I have to buy a van? (yes, but you will LOVE rockin' that van!); how hard is this pregnancy going to be? (so hard and painful, but well worth every single second of it); am I going to have to have a c-section? (nope); how am I going to breastfeed twins? (the good Lord gave you 2 for a reason! It can be done); I don't want to get fat! (too bad). Plus about a million more. Cody got me calmed down and told me to meet him for lunch and we would discuss everything. He made me feel better over lunch, but I have to admit, it took a little while before we were thrilled with this new change in plans. We waited a while to tell our family and friends. We needed some time to wrap our heads around 2 babies and all the changes that were coming our way. Our family was almost as shocked as we were, but so excited for us. </div>

<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
We found out pretty early with the million ultrasounds I had that we were having 2 girls! The pregnancy was hard. I had a hernia that was very painful and hurt to walk a lot of the time, so that ruled out exercise. My back hurt constantly. I was nauseous for the first 10 weeks (with Everleigh, I was nauseous for 15, so this was an improvement). I got bigger a lot faster this time around and all the aches and pains of pregnancy were multiplied. A lot of it was not fun, but there were some really cool things too. I could feel the girls kick me, but they would also have little "fights" and kick each other which was really cool to feel. Hayden got the hiccups several time a day and they shook my whole stomach (She still gets the hiccups almost every day and hates them). Hayden moved a lot toward the end and she flipped over every ultrasound (I had one every 2 weeks). Charlie (Baby A) was always head down like a good girl. :) She was also less active than Hayden. Charlie was very hard to get pictures of and hated the monitor they put on me. She would never stay still long enough for them to get a good heartbeat on her and the ultrasound techs always had a hard time measuring her. Hayden was amazingly still and was easy for them every time. I'm so glad to not be pregnant any more, but I would do it all over again in a heartbeat if I got them at the end again. They are wonderful and so worth it. We are so in love with them! More on that later though...</div>

We had an amazing time and the kids had a blast. These are pictures from our putt-putt game, which was the hottest thing in the world. I have no idea why it was hotter than anything else down there, but you would have thought they had heaters all around the course. We were all sweating and sticky the whole time, but we had a great time. Note to self - don't take a 17 month old who cares nothing about what you are doing or about golf, but wants to play in the water surrounding everything and all the dirt around the trees, to play putt-putt. Bad plan, Lauren. Bad plan. Oh well...it was fun and Cody won with John just 1 point behind him.</div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSJv-Egb3v3_1reVlsTjotuhXT59asaevPfnJcHhE94_kN4Ep554EIOmJJ1yTbitq6kyLpQX4mnbsvBY5v3BLTQnJQgZ9UhcBNDaxOE4sqo2_CaRD7HF9MvDuxs9dElCqIXbpZcelCogc/s1600/IMG_3560.jpg"><img border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSJv-Egb3v3_1reVlsTjotuhXT59asaevPfnJcHhE94_kN4Ep554EIOmJJ1yTbitq6kyLpQX4mnbsvBY5v3BLTQnJQgZ9UhcBNDaxOE4sqo2_CaRD7HF9MvDuxs9dElCqIXbpZcelCogc/s320/IMG_3560.jpg" /></a> </div><br /><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5293obhEJr2Nuy4F6fes-Z1Qu-Ip9gVVroLUTWYyRUeT2olDPqm2C80BnPmxfuLrnhjJq8NYZDO7Uvp9fNf5ssigitIRpOGR2Czn7ypMxtUAYm9ABCnCPiw7o36R3KVUoZBT2nSX0fNw/s1600/IMG_3558.jpg"><img border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5293obhEJr2Nuy4F6fes-Z1Qu-Ip9gVVroLUTWYyRUeT2olDPqm2C80BnPmxfuLrnhjJq8NYZDO7Uvp9fNf5ssigitIRpOGR2Czn7ypMxtUAYm9ABCnCPiw7o36R3KVUoZBT2nSX0fNw/s320/IMG_3558.jpg" /></a> </div><div style="text-align: center;">Dad and Isabella waiting to start playing</div><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBYLoktHKiHpoOYFvY1OTlNHgmRyAgXLqBih1ABSKglwJgNcfaQww7SPDuynuooreP6lSfPLhyphenhyphenA2K0chMnG_9JqIT8aenZ1a_FgBLxRDfNsSU6sYPWEA0QkeD_3EwlaOhU3MslOQTbP8Y/s1600/IMG_3571.jpg"><img border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBYLoktHKiHpoOYFvY1OTlNHgmRyAgXLqBih1ABSKglwJgNcfaQww7SPDuynuooreP6lSfPLhyphenhyphenA2K0chMnG_9JqIT8aenZ1a_FgBLxRDfNsSU6sYPWEA0QkeD_3EwlaOhU3MslOQTbP8Y/s320/IMG_3571.jpg" /></a> </div><div style="text-align: center;">Daddy and Everleigh</div><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7LKH76AAB7nBxIpwit2byaCPa6eXR0f5P7Lg7BhuW9ZQaaT6em2z8FOaP_ZITCEUAQO1nJBsWlzobK2UZHQBETvzrA3hq-eqJo2NglKXYCuVbsYBywU2eqiZAxbKmYOhtoHAsj9KrrrA/s1600/IMG_3603.jpg"><img border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7LKH76AAB7nBxIpwit2byaCPa6eXR0f5P7Lg7BhuW9ZQaaT6em2z8FOaP_ZITCEUAQO1nJBsWlzobK2UZHQBETvzrA3hq-eqJo2NglKXYCuVbsYBywU2eqiZAxbKmYOhtoHAsj9KrrrA/s320/IMG_3603.jpg" /></a> </div><div style="text-align: center;">Is this how you play?</div><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhclhgj6DWE45M9wQOFEXe8ccP11gy2D2wWexmgZIaSPm0v-8N3XvlQd5mSE_DgqVE6KSoBADaNRsxyb9nM1GlVhQ8KBhiidi0yOHZjpF_OYn8D1-Nx5H19oI9jEq5hk5inBQe1O6xOhs4/s1600/IMG_3604.jpg"><img border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhclhgj6DWE45M9wQOFEXe8ccP11gy2D2wWexmgZIaSPm0v-8N3XvlQd5mSE_DgqVE6KSoBADaNRsxyb9nM1GlVhQ8KBhiidi0yOHZjpF_OYn8D1-Nx5H19oI9jEq5hk5inBQe1O6xOhs4/s320/IMG_3604.jpg" /></a> </div><br /><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmsyoC7tX_Wab8LICq-jB0OJFVzGyApdmbYXg9BYD7gDYWM5iB6J4KUv-hdzGwv3xsRrS0LOmFGnFi_MCNI3b1L44Ect-qeR77c5EtfiyUerW9OChwYbE2hM8l5SyzzwtQlV07t-jUJRU/s1600/IMG_3606.jpg"><img border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmsyoC7tX_Wab8LICq-jB0OJFVzGyApdmbYXg9BYD7gDYWM5iB6J4KUv-hdzGwv3xsRrS0LOmFGnFi_MCNI3b1L44Ect-qeR77c5EtfiyUerW9OChwYbE2hM8l5SyzzwtQlV07t-jUJRU/s320/IMG_3606.jpg" /></a> </div><br /><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2OLicz1paDw-5yBk44DBQr31YC_oCsYWJdQkdK7-GyGClwx-ajW7jdbhYAyfPgWaOwrNN3BzRGEuUW90OtXMTGb-bxKMihyaxPdg_cCD8lNfNd1aWorkHR_ZdyJYTFD9tMDTp-vQ1o-w/s1600/IMG_3608.jpg"><img border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2OLicz1paDw-5yBk44DBQr31YC_oCsYWJdQkdK7-GyGClwx-ajW7jdbhYAyfPgWaOwrNN3BzRGEuUW90OtXMTGb-bxKMihyaxPdg_cCD8lNfNd1aWorkHR_ZdyJYTFD9tMDTp-vQ1o-w/s320/IMG_3608.jpg" /></a> </div><div style="text-align: center;">Playing with the dirt around the tree.

Background: I bought a table from K-mart (Yes, it was that long ago that K-mart still existed) when I graduated from college because my roommate and I needed a table and were short on money. Less than $150 for the table and all 4 chairs - seriously. Then, I decided I could be handy and refused offered help from my friend's husband and put the whole table together all by myself. It took me all day, but <i>I</i> put my K-mart table together, b/c I did not need a man (I do now :) and I like it). So...7 years later, Cody and I are still using the cheapest table in history (when you wiped the table, black paint came off on the rag - even after 7 years of wiping) that I put together (and Cody reinforced multiple times) waiting to find the perfect table and for the money for the perfect table. We've looked several times and came close to buying a new table a few times, but nothing ever quite worked out. It was all worth the wait. I am in L-O-V-E. I want to sleep on my new table and hug it and kiss it!!! To make things even better, I told Cody about these amazing barstools that were in the store and how much I loved them. Really, I was just talking, but he said, "Go get them, sweetie. It's fine." Music to my splurging ears!!! For anyone who knows my very budget-friendly husband, this is WAY out of the ordinary for him. I did not question his decision. I wanted the barstools, so I turned around and added them to the truck that was coming to our house with my dream table on board. </div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px">So...without further delay, here is my most fabulous new table, chairs, and barstools from Nadeau (please ignore the mess)...</div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk0aJGeQIeGYe7b2U5zByeiJtU2qziV-mHOb5sWGiT53ryujgSuSBDW5gDq-AZSkN7y4yZ4MafS8UlrpWIr5GBroV4Kyc1pG4-csQer3kj27yg3GAlVz8CVWIH0fpQrufDjvL2ZABQrUc/s1600/IMG_3333.jpg"><img border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk0aJGeQIeGYe7b2U5zByeiJtU2qziV-mHOb5sWGiT53ryujgSuSBDW5gDq-AZSkN7y4yZ4MafS8UlrpWIr5GBroV4Kyc1pG4-csQer3kj27yg3GAlVz8CVWIH0fpQrufDjvL2ZABQrUc/s320/IMG_3333.jpg" /></a> </div><div style="clear:both; text-align:CENTER">You can't see the detail, but it is beautiful.

MARGIN: 0px auto 10px">Happy Easter everyone! We had a wonderful Easter. My dad and Karen came up and went to church and lunch with us and it was great to see them. I didn't have my camera at church though, so unfortunately we didn't get pictures with them. Everleigh also did not want to stand alone to have her picture taken - she wanted to walk to the camera or turn her back to the camera, but never look at the camera - so I have none of the classic child-in-front-of-the-flowers pictures. Well, I have some, but they are not of her even close to looking. Anyway, here's what we did get:</div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4fnqWDQyBRQoi3-jDLt2ZR1R7AmqF2pfqzpX1pK9xrkKVGc4AB9zMkvwWiAVTiQQPKAkBxOWtjJBwEljlaqKCoCc8UcXH1ttb93BNWJTOeSco0lSZQKOMqAUp7BWWrmNF8t-Mj81zyXs/s1600/IMG_2869.jpg"><img border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4fnqWDQyBRQoi3-jDLt2ZR1R7AmqF2pfqzpX1pK9xrkKVGc4AB9zMkvwWiAVTiQQPKAkBxOWtjJBwEljlaqKCoCc8UcXH1ttb93BNWJTOeSco0lSZQKOMqAUp7BWWrmNF8t-Mj81zyXs/s320/IMG_2869.jpg" /></a> </div><div style="text-align: center;">This was the night before going to a wedding reception. I walked in to get Everleigh up from her nap with a dress on and my hair down and straight and Everleigh looked me up and down several times before finally reaching her arms up to me.

I really thought I went overboard on a big pool with a slide, but she loved every bit of it and walked around all of it and LOVED the slide.

I've been quite busy lately.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Everleigh has changed so much since I last posted. She's over 14 months now and walking!! She took her first steps on March 5, but didn't really start walking until about a week ago and now she's every where! After her first steps I would try to encourage her to walk and she would laugh at me and squat down and crawl. She started walking on her own by pushing her little ball popping toy across the room. Well, this little toy was certainly not helping her walk. It was probably pulling her down rather than helping her, but she didn't know that. She thought it was like all the rest of her toys that are made to help you walk and just walked across the room with it. After a few passes with that, we just took it away from her and she walked right to me! Now she won't stop! It's so fun to see and to see how proud of herself she is. She smiles so big every time she walks.</div><div style="text-align: center;">She's also talking up a storm now. She says mama, daddy- "addy", doggy- "augy", woof-woof- "oof-oof", no, yes- "esh", thank you- "ank oo", i love you- "ove oo" -(this one melts me every time!), she tries to say her name, but it's more like "eh-e", ear- "are", please- "ese", she also tries to make a monkey noise and puts her hand up under her arm like a monkey - so cute! She can point to your nose, ear, and belly button and we are working on the rest of them. She also loves to give kisses to Mommy and Daddy!</div><div style="text-align: center;">She has 3 official teeth and one that just broke through. 2 more look like they'll be any day now. She doesn't let the limited number of teeth affect her though. She eats more than I do some meals and eats pretty much whatever we're eating. She loves grilled cheese and quesadillas, but mainly wants fruits and veggies. Not so much of a meat eater, but she's ok at that too.</div><div style="text-align: center;">She loves pointing at what's on her clothes.</div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px">She tries to pull her belly button off and gets a little frustrated that it's not moving. Very funny! That's all the big stuff I can think of for now. Time for pictures!!</div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVQxkJLWY1nHPRkGPUuDZ0vZZkkfknsxf27MKH564otyw3vzKlMyjId9IpSpqcB-uiyRgzBZSJSDx3HpzU15wWrbjEN4dpOahwEBpZpefab65K8ZMe4ElReZFix1fUSdNyxuhx1ZsVv5U/s1600/IMG_2325.jpg"><img border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVQxkJLWY1nHPRkGPUuDZ0vZZkkfknsxf27MKH564otyw3vzKlMyjId9IpSpqcB-uiyRgzBZSJSDx3HpzU15wWrbjEN4dpOahwEBpZpefab65K8ZMe4ElReZFix1fUSdNyxuhx1ZsVv5U/s320/IMG_2325.jpg" /></a> </div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

I smile just thinking about you and your precious grin.<div>When your grandma, my mom, had cancer, I asked her if there was anything in her life she wished she could do or wanted to do differently. She said no. She said she loved her life the way it was. We talked for a while about it, but the one thing I will never forget that she said to me was, "I did everything I wanted to do. I had a Christy and a Lauren". I have never felt so loved in my whole life and will never ever forget that moment. But as special as that moment was to me, I don't think I could truly appreciate what she meant until I became your mom. Now, I know I can say that I've done everything I ever wanted to do, too, because I had an Everleigh. </div><div>This year has been the greatest of my life just watching you grow and change. At 1 year old, you are a bundle of fun! You are always smiling and laughing and making silly faces. You love to dance to nay music - including commercials (you like the iPad commercial!). You love your daddy! And, oh, how he loves you. I have never experienced so much joy as to watch him love you. He doesn't take one second for granted and is with you every second he can be. You also love Dublin. You chase him all around the house. He mostly runs from you, but you don't seem to mind. You just laugh and keep crawling after him. You have a mind of your own and are starting to let us see that! It's pretty funny to watch you assert your independence. You will push our hands away if we are helping you too much or push a toy away if it's not what you were wanting and go get what you do want. I love it! You are a very easy-going baby for the most part. We can take you any where and not worry that you are going to fuss or pitch a fit. In fact, a man who owns a furniture store we were in said you were the best baby he had ever seen in his store because we were there for so long and you never fussed! What a sweet girl! You are not as clingy to me as you once were, but still prefer either me or Daddy over strangers. I know I am your mom, but you are the most beautiful child I have ever seen. Seriously. Could. Not. Be. Cuter. I think it every day. </div><div>No matter how you change or what phases you go through, I want you to know that you are so loved and special. There is nothing I would not do for you. What I want you to know most of all in this life is that you are the Lord's child. Your dad and I get the pleasure of raising you and having you in our life, but you, my darling baby, are His. I pray that you love the Lord with all you have. I pray we do a good job of teaching this to you. Thank you for giving me the best year of my life so far (it keeps getting better!). I love you more than you could ever know, my sweet little love. Happy first birthday. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">"Before you were conceived, I wanted you. Before you were born, I loved you. Before you were here an hour, I would die for you.

Here's what she's up to:<div><ul><li>She started crawling!!! She started crawling at 10 months and 1 week and it was like she never wasn't crawling. She immediately crawled across the floor and then did it again and again. She hasn't stopped since - and is SO fast!</li><li>Her latest way to crawl is now with her left foot up underneath her. That way when she gets to where she wants to pull up her foot is already underneath her. Smart girl! Already being efficient like your daddy.</li><li>She's been pulling up for a while, but now it's on everything she puts her hands on including a bare wall and it's constant.</li><li>She cruises on everything.</li><li>Since she was about 9 months old she has been putting her hands behind her head when she gets tired and is ready for her nap. It's the cutest thing in the world. (I just keep forgetting to write about it)</li><li>She has 1 1/2 teeth</li><li>She eats everything. You would think she had a mouthful of teeth. She doesn't eat baby food any more - all solids torn up into little pieces. She can be a little bit picky, but not too bad. She loves fruit and bread and shredded cheese. Not too crazy about veggies, but she does okay.</li><li>She was 20 lb 7 oz (54%) and 29 inches (62%) when I took her to work with me a few days before she turned 11 months.</li><li>She's talking a lot. Most of what she says is just babbling that sounds like her own little language, but she does say mama, addy, iddy (Piggy, her stuffed animal), bye-bye, and hi, but not all the time. She tries very hard to say whatever you are saying to her and usually gets the first syllable of it.</li><li>She's still wearing 12 month or 6-12 month clothes, but is growing out of most of them. I'm sad for her to wear 18 month clothes! She's getting so big!</li><li>She is not near as attached to me as she was. She still really wants me when she's sleepy, but she's doing a lot better about being with other people too.</li><li>She's still sleeping wonderfully. About 12 hours at night and 4 hours total in naps. </li></ul>I know I say this a lot, but she really is the happiest, best baby. I know we would feel blessed even if she never stopped crying, but we do feel very blessed to have her in our lives. The next one will be 12 months (I refuse to say 1 year - hard to even type) and she'll be an official toddler. Everyone pray I don't cry too much at her party!</div>Laurenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09201272424286560438noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5642492561216142455.post-71434238975376314282010-12-25T14:27:00.001-06:002011-01-24T15:05:29.836-06:00A Very Merry Christmas<div style="text-align: center;">We celebrated Christmas in Arkansas and then Oklahoma this year. Cody's parents and sister with her family all live in Arkansas and most of his extended family are in Oklahoma. We traveled for some where between 20-22 hours split up into 4 days. Our sweet baby was a real trooper. The only time she even fussed was when I was strapping her in her car seat for the very last time after a lunch stop when we were almost back to Nashville. At that point, I wanted to cry from being in the car so long too, so I don't blame her! Our Christmas was wonderful though and it was great to get to see all of our family.

My daughter swallowed a hair bow! <div>So - I have never been one for the huge hair bows, but I am now. I am if I want Everleigh to wear a bow at all! It all started when a few weeks ago, Everleigh had been running a fever for 4-5 days up to 102.5. I knew she had a ear infection and she was on antibiotics. Well, they obviously weren't cutting it, so I took her back in to see Dr. Tolar and her ears were getting worse, so we did Rocephin shots. Any of you whose kids have had to have these shots know that they are extremely painful. Much worse than routine vaccines and you are giving them to kids who already don't feel good, so you can imagine how upset Everleigh was. She cried/screamed for probably 15 minutes. Cody had come with me to the office since she was so sick, b/c I figured this was coming and I would need help. So, we get her calmed down and get her in the car to take her home. Everleigh falls asleep in her car seat. Pheww! Sigh of relief that she is finally getting some rest. We get almost back to the house and she starts choking in the back seat. Not just a little bit - I really didn't think she was breathing. Cody starts trying to pull over while I'm jumping in the back seat to get her out. By the time I get her out, she's fine. Color is back to normal and she seems ok. Well, as I already said, she had been sick for several days and was coughing like crazy for most of this, so I thought she was just choking on all the mucous in the back of her throat. We got her back home and as I was getting her out of the seat, I noticed that her hair bow was missing. I asked Cody and he didn't know. I assumed it fell out at work and I'd find it later. For the next 2 weeks, she had diarrhea. She had been on 4 different antibiotics (1 at the start of the ear infection, 1 shot when the first one didn't work, 1 after that that she was allergic to, so we switched her to a new one - 4), so I thought it was from all the antibiotics and didn't worry too much about it. Then, I got the phone call from Katie. Katie never calls me - an occasional text, but she doesn't call, so I was freaked out that she was even calling. "Everleigh is okay, but she pooped out a bow..." What in the world! It took a few hours for me to piece it all together. It was a small clip-type bow, but who would have ever thought she could swallow that. I naturally freaked out and called Dr. Tolar immediately, who said to me, "Lauren, you have a human vacuum cleaner on your hands. This will not be the last odd object she poops out. Don't worry. She's okay." Made me feel better.</div><div>Moral of this story: No more hair bows unless they are GIANT!</div><div>There will be no pictures with this story, b/c you don't want to see them.</div>Laurenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09201272424286560438noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5642492561216142455.post-48267484592751687492010-12-12T14:56:00.000-06:002010-12-14T15:12:51.360-06:00Snow Day!<div style="text-align: center;">Sunday and Sunday night combined, we got about 3-4ish inches of snow at our house.

Here's what she's like right now:<div><ul><li>She was 19 pounds (40%) at 28 inches (50%) at her last check-up. I forgot what her head circumference was, but it was the 93rd percentile!! What a big brain for my smart little girl!</li><li>Still sleeping great!</li><li>She is now eating mostly finger foods at all of her meals. She has gotten very picky with her baby food, so it's hit or miss, but she loves to feed herself. She's very slow though - we're talking about 45 minutes for a full meal! And she tells you when she doesn't want a bite. She makes this awful face and squints her eyes and you know she's either not ready or doesn't like it. </li><li>She is not crawling, but gets around just fine. Instead of moving her knees she pushes on her toes and lifts her knees off the ground (downward dog in yoga) and then gets a little frustrated. I think she'll crawl soon. </li><li>She has 1 tooth (finally) and one on the way!</li><li>She is so ticklish under her arms and around both of her hips. She also loves for you to kiss her on her neck.</li><li>She loves her daddy and still laughs at him all the time, but is very clingy to me for the most part. I have to sneak out of the room now if I want to leave. Because of this, she lays down for sleep a lot better for Cody than for me. With me she cries when I am leaving her and with Cody she lays right down. </li><li>She is now pointing a little bit</li><li>She LOVES to walk while holding your hands. She is so proud of herself!</li><li>She has cruised on furniture a little bit.</li><li>She imitates sounds we make. Our favorite is na-na. It's the sweetest sound ever. And da-da is usually very quiet, which is so sweet.</li><li>She is not as happy in her car seat as she used to be. We think she just gets a little bored.</li><li>To give you love she headbutts your face and she'll give you open-mouth kisses all over your face while shaking her head back and forth - slobbery, but precious!</li><li>She learned to clap and for a few days straight, that's all she did. She still does it a lot, but seriously - DID NOT stop clapping after she learned it. </li><li>She's very timid with things and does not branch out of her comfort zone too easily. She will if I'm with her, but if she's trying to pull up or something, she will frequently look to me for reassurance or touch my leg and then go back to whatever she was pulling up on. I guess all I mean by that is that I think she's a little timid or nervous when it comes to moving around or doing something new. If she falls, she looks right at me to see my reaction before she knows if she's ok or not. </li></ul><br /></div><div>That's all I can think of right now. She's just wonderful!!</div>Laurenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09201272424286560438noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5642492561216142455.post-59430481661238726332010-11-30T11:09:00.001-06:002010-12-10T11:24:58.227-06:00Ladies and Gentlemen, Introducing...<div style="text-align: center; ">Everleigh's 1st TOOTH!!!</div><div style="text-align: center; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: center; ">You are probably thinking, "What's the big deal? It's just a tooth". But that's where you're wrong - well, sort of. It is just a tooth, but we've been waiting on this tooth for a LONG time. In 8 days, Everleigh will be 10 months old and she's been teething and drooling for months. I was beginning to think they weren't coming! I just started calling her toothless a few weeks ago. Well, she is toothless no more. I could not be more excited about this silly little tooth. :)</div><div style="text-align: center; "><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOVS9EBcv3vWFYHZs-wQy0vXF8oGod1tyqP_7F7OnnAxgPSDtSOIZ2Mzb3i8coeNFdk8JpAIBxiG10A_QteeIuQe3OfeGdG3GVHAz6qYZcYhN75va0igZUZOMT_CCKm6YL5DiUmcLHH3w/s1600/IMG_1307.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOVS9EBcv3vWFYHZs-wQy0vXF8oGod1tyqP_7F7OnnAxgPSDtSOIZ2Mzb3i8coeNFdk8JpAIBxiG10A_QteeIuQe3OfeGdG3GVHAz6qYZcYhN75va0igZUZOMT_CCKm6YL5DiUmcLHH3w/s320/IMG_1307.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5549105486884668658" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Look closely, folks!</div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSCWWi3m2DfR3NdVw9l0SKx2DrtBEO2l4Z6r50lar0BC64FPEzqoAm29YguQy4wrhUS0Aj10BIIKOdZDPNU15kDEidJ5HREbzTBMOenLld_ICHXZZLA1TiTZBsLX1mlrcq71_Ax_N1_yc/s1600/IMG_1304.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSCWWi3m2DfR3NdVw9l0SKx2DrtBEO2l4Z6r50lar0BC64FPEzqoAm29YguQy4wrhUS0Aj10BIIKOdZDPNU15kDEidJ5HREbzTBMOenLld_ICHXZZLA1TiTZBsLX1mlrcq71_Ax_N1_yc/s320/IMG_1304.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5549105482476316034" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLkVGDhKiHzBn1NoaRG_tewCyZfsCIBK4bm2lL3ax4mv-xxqtAvRmYTXMGw_JOfLhRDZrIf7LiEEWWxctO8tCj4A6Btzvyo2GeAfNTSQrlV8nyYG_ZPR3wVzDiK53f7rqwE3qdyXaZSWU/s1600/IMG_1303.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLkVGDhKiHzBn1NoaRG_tewCyZfsCIBK4bm2lL3ax4mv-xxqtAvRmYTXMGw_JOfLhRDZrIf7LiEEWWxctO8tCj4A6Btzvyo2GeAfNTSQrlV8nyYG_ZPR3wVzDiK53f7rqwE3qdyXaZSWU/s320/IMG_1303.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5549105479252058082" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Sweet baby girl.
