...for the Love!!

I have tried everything! I have picked her up, I have put her down, I have given her Tylenol (she is teething her top front teeth), I have played with her, changed her, fed her, given her water, milk, rocked her, Daxon has danced for her, sung to her, I have let her cry it out, read her books, put her in front of her favorite toys. Nothing I have done has stopped Zayla from crying!



Until I sat her on top of the counter and fed her some goldfish. She was happy as could be up there! I tried to do a few things near the counter, but basically I just stood there enjoying the not-crying. Unfortunately, a baby can only sit on the counter for so long and then it starts to become a hazard. Had to take her off, and the crying continues...What am I doing wrong?! She has been like this for days. Any other suggestions out there?!

Trying to find the joy....

Her Majesty, the Princess, is ONE!

I can't believe it, but our baby in ONE!! (She actually turned one on Feb 5th). We had a party for her a week ago and I just wanted to get some photos up for you all to enjoy. Thanks to all our friends and family who were here to help celebrate. It was good to be with you all! Zayla loves all her gifts, and will be the most fashionable little tot in all the land!


I am such a crafty mom, I made the Tu-Tu!!!


This was the extent of the cake show...she liked it!


Zayla is sitting on the table looking at the board I made with one photo of her taken around the 5th of every month of her life!


This was taken on the morning of her Birthday. She was kind of trembling as she first sat on this new horse!

....Its Been a While!

Its been a while since I have posted anything for my fascinated readers...and I am thoroughly sorry! I have a few good excuses...One being that my computer is out in the garage/studio and its so cold out there! (we have turned down our heating method in order to cut down on power bill), Two: Zayla is now taking shorter naps, so my two hours of getting stuff done is cut in half lately. I usually tackle the kitchen and spend time with Dax in that hour during her nap. and Three: I have not had anything exciting going on around here, nor have I had any fabulolus witty thoughts to post. Just boring!

So - I thought I would emphasize that boringness and post all about it!! Enough of waiting for something spectacular to happen to post something right?! Rrrrrrright!

I so want to point out my favorite photos I have taken lately however. Both are totally random (which always turn out to be my fave!) Notice the "silly spot" photo. Blayke and Zayla are so cute! And them sticking their tongues out at me at the same time was not planned. It must be a Sister...thing! The one at top of Zayla is so cute because she is just to happy and mischevious lately! Its fun to catch her at it!

Well - tune in soon as I will actually have something to talk about because my baby is turning ONE YEAR OLD in three days!!! I will have photos of the celebration and such up soon!

Keeping the JOY!
