Avery Grace - First Week Home

I finallly got my phone to connect so I can put some pictures up on the blog. There are more on Jason's phone and my camera, but those will have to wait. I already have so many that I feel like I have to post them all, but I know I will never be able to do that. I am just not one of those mothers who posts updates when they actually happen and who has the patience to always wait on these stupid computers! I think I have done well to take the pictures I have because I am not a good picture taker!

Here are the pictures I have of her on my phone of the first week she was home. I didn't notice it at the time, but her skin did have a tinge of yellow. They told me she was slightly jaundice and I can see it when I look at these pictures. Surprisingly, we have alot of pics with that paci in her mouth. She won't take another pacifier, no matter which one we have tried. There must be a reason hospitals use them! We also only swaddled her about the first 2 days, after, that, we just stopped. She didn't really like it too much and never really cried enough for us to keep doing it.

When I look at her now, I can't help but notice how skinny she was when she was born. The other pictures we have show it more, and I promise I will get those up here, someday!

Guess Who Has A New Potty???

This girl!! Jason and I took Avery to Target tonight to find a potty chair. We didn't know what kind to get. When we got there, she loved the Sesame Street one. It's the kind that sits on the toilet, not an actual chair. I've heard both reasonings on a chair and a pad for the real toilet. On one hand, the chairs are little and easier for them to sit on and they aren't scary to flush. On the other, the pad doesn't require you to have to clean out a chair and they teach kids to sit on the big potty from the get go. What it really came down to was that we just don't have a big bathroom at all, so keeping an actual chair in the bathroom would have been hard. So we got the pad. It has a little hook that you attach to the tank, so you can hang the pad on it. I love this!  I have no intention of actually potty training Avery full out, just yet. I don't think she is ready. But I have heard it's good to have one that they can practice sitting on and get u...

Some Changes...

We've been going through a bit of a transition at the Whitehead household the last month or so. I haven't really talked too much about it because I wasn't ready, to be honest. It's just a lot of change and I've been trying to figure it out in my head.   As of three weeks ago last Friday, I am no longer a full time work out of home employee.   I can't believe I just said that.   It's been the plan for several months now for me to go into real estate and it was always assumed I'd be doing that part time, while keeping my full time job. Plans kind of changed when Jason got his promotion. He'd always has a job that allowed him a lot of flexibility. In sales, especially after you've been in a position for a while, it just sort of happens that way. He could take Avery to daycare and pick her up, he could take her to doctor's appointments, he could even do chores around the house in the afternoon, while I was at work. I had some flexibi...

Just a little bathroom project....

Raise your hand if this is what your bathroom looks like after every round of baths at your house????
