look who's turning ONE!


my baby is turning one.

although it went entirely too fast, the last twelve months have been the best in my life. there is nothing like being a momma!

to celebrate, i have decide to chronicle his life by month:

1 MONTH - Coming into the world a whopping 7lbs 5 oz, Huston Dean David surprised us all (he was supposed to be 9-10lbs). He learned how to nurse and how to melt our hearts. At one month, he also moved 1,000 miles across the country on a 4 day road trip. Before we left, he went to his first A's baseball game when they visited the Rangers.

2 MONTHS - Rolled over all of the way. Pretty impressive for a two month old. Started sleeping through the night occasionally.

3 MONTHS - Could sit up (supported). First Halloween (he was a monkey).

4 MONTHS - Started laughing out loud. The cutest sound ever. Got a full-time, at home momma when I was laid off. Tasted pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving.

5 MONTHS - Had his first solid food meal, oatmeal. Went to Oklahoma for Christmas Eve.

6 MONTHS - First time at the movies. First plane ride, we went to California to meeat all of Doug's family. He loved all the attention! Started holding his bottle by himself, FREEDOM for me!

7 MONTHS - Went to his first beach when we visited our friends the Sampsons in S. Carolina. Got his first two teeth (ouch for momma, they were discovered when he bit my nose!) Stood up for the first time and learned to crawl, a cute little army crawl....I haven't sat down since.

8 MONTHS - Got another tooth. First haircut. Officially off nursing and on formula.

9 MONTHS - Got three more teeth. Started walking. Started dancing when he heard music.

10 MONTHS - Started giving momma raspberries. First time in the swimming pool, he's a little fishie.

11 MONTHS - Starting to lose interest in formula, so is eating HUGE amounts of food. Walking everywhere, into everything!

12 MONTHS - Another year of growing up too fast to come!

what the blog?

i have been a blogger slacker lately. and it's not that i have nothing to say. it's that i have finally hit that point that others talk about when they say they have no time. i used to be able to juggle so much....what happened? oh ya. probably the fact that i decided to start two businesses, take an online class, become publicity chair for my moms group and wrangle a walking 11 month old around all day. sounded good at the time though :)

but i found a solution, less time on FB and bloggin. boo. i'll get back to my superwoman ways again soon.

until then......here are some of our happenings!

  • planning H's FIRST birthday party!
  • becoming addicted to uppercase living
  • barnes and noble storytime is my favorite thing ever
  • OH is as hot as TX
  • did i mention H is walking?
  • it's baseball season in our house
  • i need outdoor furniture

    more to come later. xo
