A whole year with the little ladybug




I know this is a little late, but we've been a little busy :)


July 10th, 2009 at 12:36 a.m. 6 lbs, 12 oz.




I cannot believe my little girl is already one! It seems like she's still just a baby, and she is my baby! Going through the parenting with Malachi, I didn't realize how much they really change. It seems like in just a few weeks, she exploded into a new person.
*She is 18.4 lbs. and 27.5 inches long.
*She has a head full of hair now that can be fashioned into rubber banded pigtails (horns). She will NOT keep bows in. She will eat them.
*She is walking all the time and everywhere.
*She is climbing on the couch, our bed, up stairs and any chair she can reach.
*She has 6 teeth, 2 bottom and 4 on top.
*She has kicked the bottle except for night time. Even then, sometimes she's so tired she just rolls over and goes to sleep. She's having a hard time drinking from a sippy cup because of how fast it comes out-she always spits it everywhere.
*She eats everything. I have not found a single food that she will not eat. I'm not really sure she has working taste buds. :) Her favorite foods are fruits and any pasta.
*She loves baby dolls.
*She loves her brother, mommy, daddy and bug.
*She just learned to pucker up while kissing and make kissy noises.
*She is mimicking anything we tell her, including shaking her head "NO", and smacking whatever it is she doesn't like away from her.
*We discovered she is a true water baby in every sort of the word. She just wants to play in water, no matter how cold or hot.
*She is wearing mostly 12 month clothes, as well as

It's so strange finally realizing that I have two separate kiddos. They may look the same with their blond hair and cute little faces, but they are so different! I love learning more about them as individuals every day.

Gentry Zoo

To celebrate H-bugs first birthday, we went to the Gentry Zoo on Monday! She loved it. Both her and Malachi are big time animal lovers. I'm not sure where they get that from ;) Haly kept her eye on the Emu's the entire drive. She did not like them. There's this look she gives when she's not sure of a situation, and the birds definitely got that look. We named this guy Ted. Doesn't he look like a Ted? We aren't sure what he is, so we named him. The kids and I flipped out when he decided to stick his entire head in our car before we could roll up the window. He drooled on my skirt. The nerve! This Camel also stuck his entire German Shepherd sized head in our window! The best experience by far was the Zebras. Malachi just puckered up and laid a smooch on this guy. When we told him to do it again he informed us that it was "yucky" and then proceeded to scream "IT'S A WOLF"-or an Alpaca...with his head in Donovan's window with the most hil...

Quiet as a church mouse

The idiom “quiet as a church mouse” definitely gives off some negative connotations. First thoughts are-why would a mouse be lurking in a church? The short answer to that is definitely goldfish crackers and warmth. Another is -Eww. Rodents. They’re so...rodent like. My nick name is Meg-a-moo, or Moo for short. This was lovingly assigned to me from origins unknown. No, My cries did not imitate that of a cow when I was a baby-It just seemed like a fitting name. In researching the starting point from hence “quiet as a church mouse”-it is clear that this, much like my nick name, has no definite origin. It is a well known fact, however, that mice are meek. They make little noise on their own and scavenge for food and a place to make their home. In the 16th century, churches did not store food-whereas, here in 2018, the kids literally CANNOT go more than an hour without sustience. Enter Goldfish crackers. Cue mice. I am a Children’s Minister at a church here in Fayetteville. The job desc...
