As stated on facebook 2 WEEKS ago...

I misplaced my motivation, therefore I don't have it to look for it!

Whew! That is exactly how I have felt the last 2 weeks, and these last few cold and dreary days haven't helped one bit! But guess what?! THE SUN IS SHINING TODAY! And I won't need to wear a jacket to go outside! Wooohoooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I seriously should have gone and sat under my mom's "happy light" and gotten a good dose of vitamin D! Granted my motivation is still not back in full swing, it has picked up a little bit!

This past weekend Daisy and I took a quick road trip to Nashville to visit some old friends from my high school years. We got lunch with Cassie whose little boy just turned 4! (Wholly molely!) And then spent Friday and Saturday night with Jaden and her husband Travis who are expecting a little boy the beginning of October! We had a blast and got to give the future little one a hat I made!We've had a short week here at home and we're preparing for another road trip this weekend because Daisy's cousins Hannah and Eli are turning THREE! Where has the time gone? My brother has 3 years old twins, that's just plain crazy!

Here are some snapshots of what the last month and a half have looked like:

What a rough life!I love the excersaucer because all I want to do is stand up and/or look around!Daddy making me funny hats!Unloading the dishwasher with daddyDaddy teaching me how to wash the dishesAlways holding/chewing on my feet now!Rocky Balboa, you ain't got nothin' on me!I am starting to learn how to hold my teething ring!

Mash up

Motherhood has taught me (Tuesdays) and Things we love (Thursdays) is being combined this week. Why you ask? Because motherhood has taught me I no longer can remember what day of the week it is! The only thing we do every week that is the same is go to church on Sundays. So as long as I can remember how many days ago Sunday was I can usually figure out what day of the week it is. But this week for instance we went to church on Saturday night because we were already in town. Therefore my whole week has been thrown off! No matter how many times I look at the calendar, ok lets be honest here, the calendar on my phone, some days I still can't get engrained in my head. *On a side note, I'd just love to see one day that all cellphones, computers, anything with a date, just randomly decide to skip a day, like a Monday, nobody likes them anyways! I can't imagine how much our world would be up in a tizzy! Sometimes I hate technology, just as I say this I'm looking around thinking "Crap! Where'd I leave my cell phone?"

On to things we LOVE...
Baby slippers! We have two pair and we adore them! The pink ones I believe are from Uncle Bruce, Aunt Marlina, and Zack! And the Pooh slippers are from our neighbors, her honorary grandparents, Ed and Sandy! One of my favorite conversations I have between Daniel and Daisy is when she was wearing the Pooh slippers and Daniel said "Daisy you have Pooh on your slippers! Not like poop, but Pooh bear!" I silently chuckled from the other room not wanting to disturb this beautiful bonding moment.

Rollin' rollin' rollin'

Betcha can take a wild guess at what Daisy did today? She rolled over!!! Yay! Another milestone reached! It all started last night when she was laying on her back on her mat and started rocking side to side. She'd try and try but could quite figure out what to do with the arm on the bottom but today she figured it out and over she went! Baby proofing is officially in progress!

Motherhood has taught me...

It is best to make sure Daisy has eaten really well and is in a very deep sleep before I attempt to cut her itty bitty baby nails! And even then when she's completely still I'm a nervous wreck! Lately her nails have been growing so fast and if I don't cut them in time she claws at her face :-( We use the Safety 1st nail clippers and I love them! They're tiny but the white bulb fits perfectly in your palm so you can hold them very steady!

Craziness

This week has been complete MADNESS! Hopefully that is a good enough excuse for missing 'Motherhood has taught me Tuesdays" and 'Things we love Thursday!' Monday was mine and Daniel's 2 year anniversary! Tuesday my mom, Daisy, and I drove to Chattanooga where I grew up and saw dear family friends who have known me my whole life, my first grade teacher, my fifth grade teacher, my best friend of 16+ years (seriously it's been so long I've lost count!) and her mom, two of my mom's dear friends from college and the daughter and grandchildren of one of them! AND to top it all off we stayed with family friends that my parents have known since they were 18 and I've known their daughter since she was born. (she turns 16 today=I feel OLD!)

Thursday was Daisy's 4 month check up. Weight 12lbs 9.5oz (30%) Height 24 3/4in (75%) In other words she's a string bean! She got 3 more shots and poor thing took them like a champ! She hardly cried and she soothed very quickly this go round. Poor thing cried uncontrollably last night, the leg she got 2 shots in was a little red and inflamed at the injection site so we put a cold compress on it and gave her some baby Tylenol. She finally fell asleep and slept well all throughout the night. She's had a little fever today and has napped a lot :-(

Today my brother, sister-in-law, and their almost 3 year old twins were in town. I woke up at 6AM to make cinnamon rolls to go along with the breakfast casserole my mom made! Tonight we are having dinner with some of Daniel's family, tomorrow night we are having an Easter dinner with my parents, and Sunday we are going to visit some of Daniel's family so they can meet Daisy for the first time! Needless to say I'm not going anywhere other than the grocery store for the next week and a half!
