11 Months Old...Already?

CAN THIS BE???

My daughter will be a year old, gulp, in a MONTH??
No. It can't be.

But, it is. Avery is 11 months old today!

Avery was WAY too busy to be bothered with being photographed today. But, we did the best we could!

We had Soph behind us to help make Avery smile. Here she is copying her sister...


Sticking her tongue out...


Hey daddy...


Nope, You will NOT take a picture of me smiling today, even if I have to stick my hands in my mouth...


Oh. Bravo sister. Bravo.


Ok. I might smile today.


Daddy's and daughters.


Ahhh! What are you doing to me???

Ok. I am done.


And I am going to play.


Avery, you love to play. LOVE to play. You are all over the place, all the time. You don't generally like your toys these days, though, you like whatever you are NOT supposed to play with. Like, our cell phones, the remote control, wires, cups with stuff in them, curtains, blinds, the dog's toys, the DVD player, little bits of paper on the floor that your sister leaves behind, the dog's bowls and water, the toilet seat, shoes, and generally everything else that we say "no" to.

You can wave "hi" and "bye bye," you can dance when we tell you to, you say shake your head "no," you can roll your tongue copying us, you can give us high fives (sometimes), you can stand up pretty much as long as we let you by yourself, you can take steps without holding on, and you crawl all over the place.

You absolutely LOVE your sister and brother. Every single time you see them, you smile and laugh like crazy. Your brother loves to pick you up and take care of you and help you do things.


He loves to make you laugh.


Soph loves to kiss on you...


You eat anything and everything we feed you. I haven't found one thing you don't like to eat. You love to go out to eat. You love to go anywhere with people, really. You are so easy to get along with, so easy going, such a sweet girl. I have loved this first 11 months with you, getting to watch you grow and learn. I love you so much!

What is Your Skin Care Regimen?

Since turning 34 this year, I've been really trying to make sure I am taking care of my skin. I have been using Cover Girl Liquid Powder for years, but it always seemed to break my neck out. And full disclosure, my face cleaning routine consisted of using Avery's baby wipes (which actually do remove eye makeup surprisingly well). So, needless to say, my skin didn't always look its best.   So, I received some gift cards for my birthday and I decided to go ahead and spring for some better products. First thing I did was get something designed to clean my face. I ordered the Olay ProX Microdermabrasion System.     This system came with the battery-operated scrubber with both a brush and foam pad, plus every day face wash and microdermabrasion wash to be used twice a week. I have really loved using this system. The beauty is that you can really use any face wash you'd like. I will probably buy a pore-reducing wash after the tube they sent me is empty. This syst...

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!...

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...
