She is almost there!!

Okay, so first off I am posting twice in one day second off I have not posted much about my daughter lately. So, this weekend Darrin and I had the best time watching Halle trying to crawl. (Yes, mother I said CRAWL) Well she can get up on all fours for just a few minutes and when she does she scoots and falls down. It is hilarious. I think we have a small clip of her doing it that I will have to post later. My baby girl is growing up so fast. Oh, and she weighed 16 lbs yesterday and 27 inches long. We have a very petite and tall girl. Maybe she will take after her uncle Keith and be tall and skinny.

FINALLY!!

Okay, I know that this might be crazy to some, but to all the mothers out there, they will understand. So, I have been torn between trying to find a new Ped doctor or just stick it out with our current one. Last week I tried calling Tuscaloosa Pediatrics to get Halle an appointment and to my surprise they were not excepting new patients unless it is a newborn or new in town. That sucks!! That really seems to be the "new" thing these days. We were really lucky getting in with the Ped that we have now. Anyway, I have not been happy with our doctor for some time. He is very smart, but when it comes to interacting with patients, he's SO out there. Well yesterday Halle had to go for her 9 month check-up and we asked to see the other WOMAN doctor that was in the same practice and we did. WOW, I absolutely loved her. She answered our questions before I could ask them. She wanted to know about her eating schedule and what she eats. She wanted to know all about her and she was VERY informative. This visit yesterday was such a heavy burden lifted off my shoulders. Thank you Lord for looking out for us.

Kelly's Kids Party Tonight!!

I just wanted to invite everyone to my house tonight for a Kelly's Kids party click here at 5:30pm. If you need directions, please e-mail me and I will give them to you. The clothes are absolutely adorable. I have picked just about one thing on every page this time. If you know anyone that would like to come please bring them as well. The more the merrier.

EMHE

For those of you who watched EMHE last night you will know what I mean when I say WOW. As I sat and watched last night with big tears rolling down my face, all I could think about was how lucky I, along with the rest of my family and others are to have baby Rhae in our lives. As I watched EMHE last night I thought to myself, that is going to be exactly how Rhae is going to be once she gets older. I mean she already lights up a room once she enters it and she is only 9 months old. Could you imagine what it would be like if we all could be that way? To have so much life in us. To live for every moment and be grateful for every single thing? Not to say that I am not grateful for every little thing, but I don't always show it or say it. I have realized through so many different aspects of my life that I take so much for granted. I DO NOT live for the moment, but I want to. So with all of this being said, this year, 2009 I want to live for the moment and enjoy it as well. I want to spend more time with my family and laugh more. I want to have the same outlook on life that little Jake does. Don't take anything for granted because none of us know whether we will be here tomorrow or not. I would also like to challenge all of you to do this as well. As the saying goes, "Live, Laugh and Love." And to my sweet baby Rhae, I thank God for you everyday. We are such a LUCKY family to have you in our lives. I pray that you will continue to amaze us like you do everyday. Our little miracle baby. I love you Rhae.

FYI

I would just like to share with all of my blogger friends that do not already know, this Sunday, January 11th at 7pm CST, the Grys family will be on Extreme Home Makeover. The Grys family has a son, Jake that has OI(Osteogenesis Imperfecta) which is also what my niece, Rhae has. My sister, Dana, is a member of a support group online and was chatted with the Grys family many times. They are all like family and help to support one another. Dana is very excited about it all and says it is a wonderful thing for this family. I know there will be many tears shed with just our family alone. I hope that you will all watch and will be inspired by this little guy just like we are all so inspired by Rhae.

Halle's New Word

Well Halle has a new word and AGAIN it's not Mama or Mommy. Her new word is Nana which is my step-mother. Jennifer is absolutely loving every minute of it.
Halle sits in the "big girl" bath tub every night and says nananananana and just grins from ear to ear. She also sits in her high chair and says it as well. So, maybe her next word will be Mama or Mommy. The "N's" are closer to the "M's". I will not hold my breath on that one though. Hope you all had a wonderful new year.
