Not At All wordless Wednesday!

So, it's been a wonderful weekend, with all the rain! This morning, it was rainy and great outside and I thought, "Avery's got golashes, I wonder what size they are?"  They are fours, great! That's Avery's size now. I wanted her so badly to wear these adorable golashes. She got them at a baby shower and I've been dying for her to wear them.


But alas, Avery did not want those on her feet. They wouldn't go on easily for her and she lost her patience after the 10th time of me trying to shove her feet in them. Babies just don't know how to move their feet to fit in shoes, do they?

So instead, I put her in her tennis shoes. "Baby's First Nikes!" We got these as a hand me down from a girl I used to work with. So cute!


She was clapping here because she loves to clap now. She will do something and then clap, so we have to say, "Yay, Avery!" and clap too.


Such a cute little stinkeroo!


Last night, her daddy and I just played and played with her. Our stuff is kind of everywhere in the house because we are in the process of packing, so Sophia had some dress up stuff in the living room that we were going through. Check out that belly!



Oh, and by the way - WE ARE TAKING STEPS NOW!! Yesterday morning, I stood her up and said, "Come here!" She took two steps and down she came. Last night, I just had to get her daddy to see, and she did it a few more times!

Oh my gosh, we cheered and cheered. She didn't know what she did that was so great, but she sure did like the accolades! I called Jason at work to tell him and he said next time she does that, we need to push her down. We aren't ready for her to walk yet. Once she figures out what she is doing, it is all over. That girl is already a moving machine, I just can't imagine when she starts walking. Or running. Oy.

T-Minus 16 days till the big move! I am so excited I can't stand it. Lots of befores and afters in our future on this blog....

I will post the walking video as soon as I can....have a great day everyone!

I LOVE that zebra print cross on her shirt! That is too cute! It would have matched those boots perfectly...maybe if she starts walking soon she'll get the boots on :)

Good luck packing everything up!

Wow, she's learning to walk. That is such a sweet time.

LOL on Jason. I said the same thing with our first. Once they're mobile everything changes.

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...
