New Holiday Tethers!

I posted some new Halo Tethers today.

I have two Halloween tethers and one Christmas Tartan tether. I just love tartan for Christmas.

Will look great on that holiday baby who is ready for a party!

Check these out.

My Lizzy at Two Years Old

Her favorite food is banana and peanut butter.

She likes for me to put her blanket on her back and say “nite nite” and then she pops back up and laughs.

She can’t go to bed without her Bear, Nite Nite Bunny and Pig.

When she can’t find Daisy she says, “where Daisy go?” and puts her hands up in the air.

She loves fruit snacks! Can’t get enough of them.

When she is doing a trick, like jumping off a step or running back and forth she starts by first saying, “7 7 2”. At least I think that’s what she says, it’s still under review.

She likes to make silly faces, wink her eye and make an angry face for the camera.

She tickles the backs of my legs when she is standing behind me at the sink.

She is going to be a computer pro by age 5.

She says “Hi”, “hmmm, and Bye” into the phone.

Grandpa is “pawpaw”, Grandma is “ma”, G-Dad” is “Dad” and Grammy is “Gabby”

Her hair smells like outside after school.

She smiles when I wake her up in the morning and always says “Mommmmeee” when she sees my face.

Her favorite words are “Mommy, Daddy, Mommy, Daddy”.

But my heart melts when she says, “Momma”.

She is a sucker for the swings and slides and can do the slide all by herself.

She laughs the hardest when her Daddy is being silly.

And she cries for no reason except I think she just loves me so much she can’t stand it. :-P

It got away from me...

The last year has flown by, so much so that I forgot about my blog. Not that it surprises me. I am the Queen of Procrastination. I also live with the King too, so that should tell you a lot. Not only did I not get around to my blog, I also did not get around to all things involving babies like, baby book, photo albums, saving her old clothes and little items in a tight waterproof safe so one day she can look back fondly on her childhood and thank me for not letting her things burn to ash or float to sea.

I'm sure that is exactly what she is thinking right this minute.

A lot has happened since the last post.

I lost 20 lbs, Elizabeth started daycare, she walked and talked (and hasn't stopped since), and she turned 2 this past week. Oh, did I mention I gained about 5lbs back. But enough about me.

Me and the hubs also started a little business of our own called Charming Carriage.
www.charmingcarriage.com

It has been quite a learning experience starting a small business. We have so many ideas and little time to work on them. Our full-time jobs, baby and family take up a lot of our time. But with a little hard work, and some To-Do lists, I know we can make it happen eventually.

In the meantime I'll let you go to our website...it's an Etsy site for the moment, but we have plans to have our own site soon and more posts of new handmade baby gear.

Until I post again...which could be minutes from now.

A week to a Year Old!

9 Months and 3 Weeks!

Where have I been? My baby is growing up and I haven't been keeping my little blog up to date. You are playing and standing and laughing and getting more teeth and crawling faster than a speeding bullet!

And had your first Father's Day too!! We went to Brenham and celebrated with the 3rd annual Orrlympics! You didn't get to play any games but you did have a good time in the hippo pool that Grammy and Grandad Orr got for you.

Happy Father's Day Daddy! Go for the GOLD!!

Like father, like daughter.

You help me put away your toys, you love your phone rattle and laugh every time I put it to my ear and "Hi!", you have mastered your stacking rings, you would rather crawl on me on the floor than play with any cool toy you have, you make circles around the coffee table and you rarely ever fall down, you laugh when the dog licks your face and can't stop grabbing her ears, you love music and now bounce and clap when we have our dance and sing hour, you really like Yo Gabba Gabba (which I turn on when I need a break), you clap when we say "Yaay!", you give us kisses when we say "Kisses!", and still love to snuggle before bed with me and your snuggle blanket.

Yaay teeth!

Yesterday I called you my angel baby and told you I was so happy to be your Momma. You smiled and I think you understood me because you hugged my neck and patted my back. and I hugged you and patted your back. A ritual we do every morning when I get you out of bed. I love that hug. and I love you.
