Happy Friday!

I was really hoping I would have a good, DIY curtain project for a post today. But it was a no go last night. So I guess I will just have to post pictures of this little cutie instead. Darn. 

This is going to sound so weird, but I just can't get over how much of a little person she is starting to look like. She just looked so much like a baby for so long, and now when I look at her, she is like, a little girl, with her own facial expressions and manurisms. She knows to smile when I put that phone in her face.


She loves sticking her tongue out, and licking her chin, and licking a toy that comes her way.


 Just some Avery updates:

She has really slowed down on the grinding of her teeth, now that they have all completely broke through. I think she just liked the sensations on her gums or something. No more teeth any time soon!!!

 She is SO CLOSE to crawling! She leans forward while on her bottom and rocks back and forth. She is also leaning forward and getting off her bottom, or she will rock and come forward on her belly. We try so hard to get her to come to us (well, not SO hard. As soon as she's mobile, it's all over!!)

She stands up by our coffee table completely by herself, for a very long period of time.

She loves to crawl on us, on things, on her bed, on pillows. We are basically her jungle gyms, lately!

She has slowed down on eating cereal because it started making her really constipated, so we eat alot of jar food and puffs. I think since she's got all those teeth, we will start with Cheerios, cottage cheese and noodles soon. We already give her bits of toast, hamburger buns, or any other bread-like food. She does pretty good chewing those up, so probably within the next month or so, we will move up to the next thing. AAHHH!!

We are going through our seperation anxiety phase, lately. When I leave a room, or even her sight, she starts screaming crying. It's actually quite cute. I think next time, I will take a picture. She is usually sitting down, and she balls up her fists and then just CRIES - her face turns red and she leans back as if to say, "Why, mom, WHHYYYY???" The only reason it's so cute is because it's just so pitiful. I love it. Only because I know it's only a phase and then she will be way too busy to notice if I'm there or not!

I am ready for the weekend - we get to see my parents today, then Robert and Shari this weekend! I love being around family.

Have a great Friday and weekend!

Why I am Pro Universal Healthcare and Changes to Our Healthcare System

Due to my recent proactivity with my credit and paying off debt, I decided to give the hospital a call where I was admitted about a month ago and ask about my bill. I wanted to make sure I didn't miss it in the mail and I wanted to get an idea of what I'd be paying for my stay. I get on the phone with the billing department and the woman is just as nice as can be, really. She was surprised I'd even called her, considering I didn't even have a bill yet. She told me she'd sent the bill over to my insurance to be approved and paid but they hadn't heard back yet. "Just out of curiosity," I asked, knowing I would be responsible for 20% of the final bill, "how much was it?" What I heard next shocked me.   "$61,000" she said.   I said, "$61,000? I was only in the hospital for a night and only on anti-biotics, you can't be serious! My daughter cost me less than a third of that to give birth to and I was in the hospital two nights!...

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...

That "Thing" in That Basket Isn't a Baby, You Know That, Right?

I have had the most horrible case of writer's block lately! With that said, I saw this article on Babycenter and I just had to write something about it.   So, we've heard of the trend of eating the placenta after birth . We've heard of the trend of putting them in pill form to get the nutrients . But this? This to me, is just the craziest of them all.   As a group of beings on this planet, I've never seen any other mammal who evolves to get to a certain place, then de-evolves on purpose, to be more "natural." I am sure I am seriously about to put my foot in my mouth, I am sure there are (some) people out there that I might offend with my "closed-mindedness" on this topic. But this is just, well, ridiculous to me.   Basically, after the placenta comes out, instead of cutting the cord and detaching it from the baby, you leave the placenta on, they salt it to help with the decomp process, add rosemary (I am guessing for the smell?), then p...
