Hair be gone

I finally did it! I chopped off all my hair for locks of love! 10 inches to be exact. It was a little scary when I was in the chair with my hair in the ponytail and she started cutting, I was thinking is it too late to turn back? I'm thinking that since she has already cut through half of it...it just might be past the point of no return. Here are my before and after pics:

In the end I have realized that it is a nice change that was much needed! Much lighter and easier to handle.

Also, we have successfully weaned Abbie off the bottle all together. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be, but she is now just a sippy cup baby. Next up: Potty Training! Yippee!

Lessons Learned

Well, another week has flown by and I have forgotten to blog again! It's a work in progress! We had a pretty crazy week here. I have not been feeling well all week, but I'm getting better each day! I learned a few things this week...like don't leave a 15 month old alone for too long...


Lesson learned...


And don't expect to have a private conversation when you have a speaker phone button...



So we learned lots this week.
Abbie had her 15 month check up on Friday. The dr gave her mostly a clean bill of health with the exception of yet another ear infection, second one on a month! But she weighs 22.5lbs, 31.5in tall and her melon is 47cm around. She is in the 40th percentile for her weight the 80th for her height and the 94th for her big ol' Dempsey melon!
We took her to the playground the past two weekends and she LOVES it! She loves going down the slide and just running everywhere! We have a pretty large yard here but it is all a giant hill and she is not walking well enough to be navigating down a huge hill, so she doesn't get to run outside much. I caught a little video of her sliding with daddy...

Fun stuff. Well, naptime is over and mommy duty calls again. Here is a little video to leave you with. This one is for you Jake! haha
