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!

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...
