A New Start

These are pics we took in August. Aspyn was seven months old in these

So I have made myself a goal to get into the habbit of faithfully keeping up my blog so i can have a journal of Aspyn and her growth! She is eight months old now so i have missed out on so many things that i should've had written down.. Shame on me!

Some fun facts about Aspyn:

1. She is sitting and standing up (holding on to something) all on her own now

2. She is so close to crawling and is constantly trying to figure out how it all works.

3. She loves FOOD. She can spot food a mile away and when she see's it she bounces up and down saying mmmmm mmmm!

4. She says Momma, Dadda and bye

5.She will wave bye bye and sometimes wave when you say hi..so adorable!

6. She is a Mommy's girl and is always keeping tabs on where I am and letting me know it should be holding her.

7. She weighs almost sixteen pounds...tiny little thing but long and tall

8. She loves attention and keeps Mom and Dad on their toes at all times.

9. She loves showers with Dad

10. She loves her tongue and you can often find her twirling it around

11. She loves Yo Gabba Gabba... So funny to see her pay attention to something for as long as she does. And if anyone has ever watched that show knows that those songs NEVER leave your mind!

12. Her favorite animal is a dog and loves to be outside watching them.

13. Too much sun makes her go to sleep no matter what she is doing.

Things she doesn't like:

1. Getting her bumb changed

2. Getting her hair done... but she must get used to it because Mommy can't stand to not have her hair done.

3. Shoes.. She will learn as she gets older how important shoes are to a girl though no worries

4. The infant room at mom's work.

5.Getting dressed

6. her car seat

7. Playing by herself

8. facial hair

9. being contained in one spot for longer than five minutes

10. Ketchup, pickles, strawberries and most of her baby food

So it's taken me a while...

I am giving myself the title for worst blogger ever...I know of a few people who would second that! I don't have any good pics yet to post as of lately but i am working on that i promise! Our life has been pretty busy preparing and getting ready for Aspyn! I am six months along now and people finally feel they can ask me how far along i am instead of just thinking i am getting really fat! I have had such an easy pregnancy so far and it has been amazing to see the changes that take place and what our bodies are capable of! My favorite time of the day is when i get the chance to lay down and feel her kick and watch my belly do the wave from one side to the other! She is so shy though and whenever i try to show someone else or let them feel she stops whatever she is doing and in return just makes me look really dumb for bothering them! Tony luckily gets to catch a few movements each night but he is about the only one! We are on the count down, only three months left and lots of that time will be spent celebrating the holidays so i am hoping it all goes by pretty fast!


Tony is just working hard and taking night classes so that by the end of this semester he will have his associates. Then he will need to decide what he wants to be when he grows up. As for me i am sticking to working in the child center for now and hoping to go back to hair school in a year...when cross your fingers.... I won't have to work or at least full time that is! We continue to live in our basement apartment for now and hope to someday soon move into a townhome or condo with an extra room for Aspyn!

That is a quick update, i am getting some pics emailed soon to show you my extreme weight gain that you all want to see i just know it!
