Lilypie 3rd Birthday Ticker
Lilypie 1st Birthday Ticker

The time had come to have Halleigh's hair cut. It was a bittersweet experience, but I think that her hair looks great, and she really likes it. Although, when we got home she wanted to know where her hair cut went...

We saved some hair and she got a little certificate to add to the baby book. They gave her this little card that looked like a credit card and at the end of the time, she put the card in this little slot and it shot out a sucker and a little toy; she LOVED that part.

Oh yeah, we went to this place in Briar Creek called Snip Its, it is a salon for kids (as you can see from the decor) and the lady who cut her hair was GREAT! I highly reccomend Snip Its if you have one in your area (they are a chain).

First are some before pictures, enjoy!

Yes, the baby is here. Beau Everett arrived on Thursday, April 23rd. He is beautiful and amazing.  I can't believe that he is already a week old.

Halleigh has adjusted well, so far, to being a sister; only a few bumps so far.  She is a little mommy, she loves Beau, and tells everyone that he is HER baby Beau. It's great; I hope they always love each other like this.

I am tired, sore, and start to panic everytime I think about my mom leaving... but I am loving every minute of it. ha ha ha

For pictures of our growing family check out Miles' blog. I'll get pictures up soon, I just have been a little busy... cheers!

The love of reading

| | Comments (0)

Halleigh loves to read. She loves being read to, and just flipping through the pages "reading" to herself. Recently she has taken up reading to her dollies. It is really funny, because she reads aloud, but it just comes out as babble.

What great practice though, and it is so great that she likes books! 

Here is what I found when I came to the front of the house this morning...

It is Miles' birthday today... he's 31!

We have a big weekend ahead of us filled with friends and family, we are excited.

To celebrate Miles' birthday, Halleigh and I went to the Durham Bulls FanFest today, with Ashley, Jack, and Louisa. It is a beautiful day today and we had to take advantage of the nice weather and GET OUT OF THE HOUSE!

Below are some pictures of our morning out. I originally was VERY excited to get Halleigh's picture with the Bulls' mascot "Wool E. Bull" but she had a total meltdown when she saw him and wanted nothing to do with him... it was an Easter Bunny incident all over again.

Daddy's Little Girl

You know you have a daddy's girl when you pull into Home Depot and your precious little angel says, "Home Depot?!? Yay, yay, yay!" 

The Potty Train

| | Comments (2)

So we are getting ready to potty train Halleigh. She is WAY ready, and tonight she was fussing about having to put her diaper on, I told her that as soon as she was potty trained she wouldn't have to wear a diaper anymore.

She looked at me and said, "Potty Train? Choo... choo!"

Not exactly what I was looking for, but we're working on it.

Election Day Attire

Here is what Halleigh chose to wear on this historic day. Notice the bright yellow boots... on the wrong feet... Any outfit would be lacking without those things.
