My 23rd Birthday

I am not telling you how old I am today. No, I am not 23. But I will give you some hints:

The Steelers won the Superbowl (beat the Rams 31-19) the year I was born.

George Bush senior was elected President the year I turned 8.

"The Sign" by Ace of Base was the number one song of the year when I was a freshman in 1994.

"Lord of the Rings, Return of the King" was the top grossing movie the year I actually turned 23.

If you can't get my age from these clues, then I guess you don't deserve to know how hold I am.

Anyway, we had a low key night to celebrate my birthday. My parents came over for dinner, then some friends of mine, Kate, Phillip, Robyn, and Jasmine came all the way down from McKinney to hang out with me!!! It was so nice to get to hang out. We stayed up talking until about 1 am, and Avery woke us up around 5:45. Needless to say, I've spent my actual birthday today quite tired. I have a feeling when Avery goes to bed in a few hours, we will be too.






Today, Avery learned some new tricks. First, she started saying "mote" (for remote). Then, she started saying "no, uh-uh." Cause that's what we tell her. Then, she started posing. She would turn her back to us, then throw us a model look over her shoulder and smile. So we would say, "Can you pose?" And now, she's posing! It's so cute.

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...
