These are not the photos you've been waiting for.

I FINALLY got around to painting our bedroom, I have had the paint sitting here waiting for me since this fall. I got it all done in one afternoon and I'm pretty happy with the results.

Some Before pics:

After Pics:

I still want to repaint the doors and the bottom trim to match the other trim. When we bought it the doors and bottom trim were painted and the trim around the windows and doors were not painted. I just want them all to match.

I also have a painting that will eventually get hung above the bed.

Also I did lily's 9-month photos today too, I'm working on editing and hoping to get them posted today yet. What a busy day.

And The Stats Are In...

Height: 28.5" (75th Percentile)
Weight: 16 lbs 8 oz (12th Percentile)
Head Size: 17.72" (79th Percentile)

She is growing normal and looks great! Sat still when she was supposed to and everyone at the Doctors office just LOVES her!

She's doing just right developmentally in doing what she is supposed to at her age and has the perfect amount of teeth.

We were pleasantly surprised with the fact that she did not get any shots this go round. She will again at 1 year though.

And as a reward for her great behavior we got her an Elmo book. (the girl is in love with Elmo.)

9 Month Pictures tomorrow!

L-Mon is 9 Months Old Today!

I can't believe it. I really can't. I know everyone says it, but it really is true. It does seem like just yesterday my baby girl was born, and yet, it seems like she has always been here. Being a parent is a funny thing.

Anyway.

L-mon still doesn't crawl or walk though she does seem to be trying to learn how to crawl now so I'm hopeful she will learn quickly like everything else she has learned. She can't do it one day and the next she is just doing it. I have no clue how she does it, but she does. So tomorrow we will wake up and she'll be crawling around her crib. Ok maybe not but you get my point.

Tomorrow she has her 9 month check-up and we are ALL anxious to see where she is sitting on the charts. She seems hefty to me, but then she kinda always has seemed that way and I'm usually wrong. At her 6 month appointment she was 13 pounds 15 ounces. So I am curious where she is now. I'll wager my bet at 17 pounds. We'll see how close I am.

Tomorrow we will also be doing her 9 month photos as I am off work and so it will just work out nice that way! Debating on doing her Easter pictures now or waiting until next month for them. Hmmm. Choices choices. So I'll post her stats from her appointment and her photos once I get them!

Happy 9 months big girl! Mommy and Daddy Love you!

The Famous Head Banging....

And a video for your pleasure!




PS Sorry the camera is so shaky, I was shaking my head at her trying to get her to do it. LOL.

Of Course This Post Will Jinx It.

This is what we do when we don't have anything better to do, Bury Lily with stuffed toys!

So I took Friday off. Just decided to take a mental health day and relax. So Thursday we put the girl down for bed, I thought well at least I don't HAVE to go anywhere tomorrow if it's a bad night. She was fantastic. Went to sleep easily, slept all night and let us sleep til 7:15 which was a miracle! Then we relaxed a bit and decided to go out for breakfast. So we did that, where of course Lily was a big hit. I also wanted to get her Easter dress. So we ran some errands and headed home. She took a nice long nap for us and I got some housework done while she napped. Then she was a dream the rest of the night too. So I thought we were in for it for last night. NOPE she was a dream again. we slept til 6:30! She took a nice morning nap, a nice afternoon nap and now we are blogging and working with some photos! I haven't done any bath ones since she moved to the big girl tub now. SO here they are.

Money Money Money Money......Mon---eeeey

Awe Money, as fast as we earn you we spend you.

When we finally think we have some of you saved for a rainy day, it pours out.

Bills come in faster than they paychecks do.

Stupid vehicles won't run forever

Who needed a new alley anyway?

I should just not have dental work done...having no teeth works for L-mon.

I am not a poet. Nor do I normally try to be one.

I have been uninspired by money since we don't have any.

No I am not drunk.

What I Actually got done...

Um yeah, it's always something.

I went and picked up the baby like normal and when Adam got home he was so excited about his new shift he got at work (starting March 2nd he'll be Monday-Friday) that he wanted to go out to eat to celebrate. So Lily was taking a cat nap since she had only had ONE 45 minute nap...ALL DAY. (that's a whole other story though) So after she woke up I fed her dinner and then we got ready and headed out. She was a star in the restaurant. I was so proud to call her mine. Though she did scream the whole way home. So we got home about 6:30ish. I HAD to get some medical paperwork done otherwise it would expire and we would have to pay out of pocket for it (yes I procrastinated as long as I could on this one) So I got all that done and by the time I finished that up it was 7:30 so it was time to head up and get bath going and get ready for bed.

So I NEVER get what I plan done. It almost always works out that way. I have thankfully learned to mostly accept that and just do what I can.

Today I will probably take it easy on purpose, I seriously hurt my neck/shoulder and so it hurts to look to the left (I'm sure you've had one of those kinks too) So Relax is what I shall do.
