Times are a changing!

Here's a little tidbit of info about me... Since the time I was 12, I've washed my face both morning and night, trying to avoid that nasty acne! It was easy back then as Mom sold Mary Kay, so all I had to do was grab it from the inventory shelves. Even in high school and college...I could be falling over from exhaustion (possibly from overconsumption of alcohol, but not likely! my child may read this one day!) and I would ALWAYS wash my face before passing out. Well...little Miss AnnaJo has put a kink in my routine. I've started going to bed without washing my face! Eeewww!

You might ask....why the need for sharing this info? I'm trying to win a contest for some very cool products! Check out this company... www.rosyglowbeauty.com/home.htm If I don't win, I think I still might order the Baby Your Face wipes. And when the Rescue Your Hair is available...I'll have it. Who has time for daily showers when a baby is around!?

First day of daycare

Oh my goodness...this was the hardest morning I've has as a Mom. I had to take AnnaJo to daycare for the first time today. This is the first time that she has stayed with someone who isn't a family member or a super close friend. I told her last night that we were going someplace different this morning. And I told her all about my babysitter, Lyndall Bridges, and how much I loved her. The kids there were very excited to see her and she was very curious about all of them. She did great...all smiles and laughing before I left. Mommy, on the other hand, did not fair so well. I was a crying mess while I was driving to work. I called Cliff and he is having a good day of fishing, but still freezing his toes off! He said that he had to stand in the water this morning just to warm up! Crazy, considering it's Spring-fed water! He is coming home tonight...can't stand to be away from his baby girl for any longer. My...how life has changed!

5 months old and rolling over!

First of all....happy 5 month birthday AnnaJo! I can't believe she is already 5 months old. It doesn't seem possible!

Second, Cliff just called and told me that when he picked her up from her morning nap, she was on her back! She's been sleeping on her tummy since she was a few weeks old....she rolled over!!! Brings tears to my eyes to write it because I missed it! I hate this whole working thing, but the alternative is probably moving in with one of the grandparents. And trust me....that ain't happening!

Have a great day!!

My first pony!

AnnaJo loves Vegas already. And he is really a sweet dog with her. And yes, he is on my lap...my very own 70 lb lap dog!

Too many pets!

Happy Valentine's Day!! Papa Rod came up to visit and watch AnnaJo today. He got a good video of her eating. She tries to eat like the four-paws do. I think we need to get rid of a few animals before she starts peeing on trees!

My Drury girl...

AnnaJo and I went for a walk this morning while Daddy fished at McKay lake. This is the first time I've had her in her stroller. She loved it! We'll have to do it more often. Since it was only 40 degrees out, we bundled her up tight. She fell asleep before we were finished with the first lap!

So we had her 4 month well-baby-check on Thursday. She is in the 80th percentile across the board...25 inches long and 15.4 lbs. She took her shots like a trooper too...cried for only a few seconds and then she was happy as could be. She was pretty clingy for the rest of the afternoon, but it gave us an excuse to hold her all day long. Our little cuddle bug...

My baby is getting big!!

My baby girl is 4 months old already! I can't believe it. She is almost rolling over (back to tummy). I expect her to get it done in the next week or so. She has just started it in the last few days and i think if she had enough momentum, she'd get it done. I'm not rushing though. As soon as she is on the move, my life will be crazy!

She started staying with Amanda a few days a week. Amanda has a baby boy, Evan, who is one week younger than AnnaJo. Evan's dog, Riley, loves AnnaJo already. Isn't this cute?
