12 Month Doc Apt

By
Update photo version (It's what matters to me):


I wish I did something like this for when she was born, but I'll remember that for the next children. I'll do one for every birthday and keep them all together for their scrap book. And now I have something else to offer clients as well.

……………………………………………..

She sat very still for the doctor. She wouldn't take her eyes off of him. She hated those mean nasty shots, but got over it pretty quickly. She kept pulling off the bandaid.

Percentiles: height 67%, weight 75% and head 93% 

Two things I've been meaning to mention #1 this habit she has of twirling her hair when she is tired. It's super cute. She will crawl into my lap, lay her head on my chest and twirl her hair with her fingers. #2 she sticks her tongue out, ever so slightly, when she is thinking hard.

It's also cute that at this stage they play with toy dolls or animals by hugging them and rocking back and forth. And it's fun to watch them put items back in the bucket. It's the little things.

The two main things we are working on are #1 walking without assistance and #2 using specific words to describe things. So far she has really only said book, hey and wuff (for dogs). She repeats night night and duck when she is in the mood. Otherwise, she uses mom for most everything. She really doesn't say dada anymore…

To Live is to Change

I love change. I love variety. I love mixing things up just because I can. It's helpful, but it's kind of a double edged sword.  I'm terrible at consistency, even though Clifton Strengthfinder told me that was my #5 strength (I think they meant something closer to wanting things fair & equitable which isn't wrong). I not only move furniture in & out of my life, or make sure we don't eat the same thing too often... but I love that I can give my kids a flexible education. God knew this is something I would love & has allowed for it even when it comes with significant sacrifices (as many good things do). This has been a beautiful way to grow me over the last 4 years, and I definitely missed it, but I also started to doubt ever doing it again, which felt odd. I found myself questioning why I wanted to take the harder course. I had a little break with just E & M at home, but now B is back too, so I'm giving up some me time (I was never good at it any ...

Our Baby Story - Alexis

First day at home photo Dear Lexi,  We couldn't handle holding you inside my stomach for another minute. We made an appointment when the contractions never came. Things were changing, but you were still 7 days late. Maybe we were eager parents, but now that we have you in our arms, we understand why, really understand. You're amazing . By the time we showed up at your 6 AM hospital appointment to be induced, I was already 3.5 cm dilated & 90% effaced & having mild contractions. So mild I thought I might have had high pain tolerance because I didn't feel th...

There is a Plan for That

By
  Perhaps I'm ready to begin again, again. I struggle to add more words to the universe & I feel the same with photos. I let two of my passions die, both rather abruptly. My posts used to write themselves, I felt so guided in what God needed me to say. But this past year, my words have been removed. I moved from this blog over to Instagram as a better place to connect, but then everything became a distraction, and even the good distractions soon became too overwhelming. I can't possibly do every craft or recipe I've saved at this point. Unfortunately, I became painfully aware of my addictive attachment to my algorithm & lost much of my peace & productivity because of it. Satan knew, but I was too slow to recognize complacency & emptiness disguised as creative options & worldly debates. "The days are gone that you can be a quiet and comfortable Christian." I am definitely not raising quiet Christians, but perhaps we are still trying to be too co...
