Holiday/Christmas Cards

Holiday/Christmas Cards

It is that time of year again where I have to decide which Holiday/Christmas Card I am going to send out. This is always so difficult as I LOVE this season. Not everyone on our list celebrates Christmas, I have a love of Snowmen, and I am a picture addict. How can I choose what photo card to send out to everyone. That is actually a fairly easy question. Shutterfly!! Yes, that is right, Shutterfly will once again be my choice for my Holiday/Christmas cards! I have used them for Christmas cards last year, Evin's 1st and 2nd Birthday Invites and Thank you cards. The best part is that I don't have to choose just one card to send to everyone. With the great pricing, I can make several cards and send them along to the people on my list. The GREAT news is that I can use multiple pictures for all 3 of my favorite options. And for those non-picture addicts, you can choose cards with just one picture too!

For those who do not celebrate Christmas, I think I will choose a Snowman

For the Christmas Lovers, Candy Canes

And for those that I need to write a note to, I will use a Folded Card

Now it is your turn to check out Shutterfly and choose your Holiday/Christmas card(s)! Let me know what you choose!!

I was thinking about starting a blog and remembered I DID 2 years ago! Opening up this page and seeing images of my little family way back when is astonishing. That little girl trying avocado for the first time seemed so big at the time. Now look at my BIG girl! She stills eat avocado but it is on a bean and cheese taco washed down with an open cup of milk. Not the kind of milk that I was still providing for her from my body 2 years ago. The expensive organic kind that a momma cow produced. Once I wrap my mind around how far we have come since 2008, I will catch this site up to 2010.

Pumpkins and Santas

It has been a crazy wonderful couple of months. Leila is growing so fast... standing,walking assisted and something new every day. She is refusing solids most days but is already over 20 lbs. on milk alone. We know she is just waiting until she can have daddy's tasty textured food and not baby mush. Things we know are around the corner: walking, saying more than mamama and dadada, and teeth (mommy winces). She had 3 visits to pumpkin patches because she looked so cute in her Fall surroundings. Christmas is nearly upon us and we are prepared with lists and photos of scared babies on white-haired men's laps. Santa handled Leila's wimpers and was able to keep her silent on his lap for 20 seconds and 2 poses. Well, we are happy and hope all of our loved ones have a very Happy Holidays!

ACL 2008

Leila experienced her first music festival. Her playlist included Mates of State, Eryka Badu, Connor Oberst, Beck, David Byrne, iron and Wine, G Love, Hot Chip... Ears were plugged with headphones, nose was protected by bandana and skin was smothered in sunscreen and shade.

All We are Saying is Give Peas a Chance

So far her least favorite food! But dada said "eat those peas!"

Bath Time

Leila had her first photo shoot and the bath was her favorite. More to come...

Baby Guacamole

Crazy week of New Things

Leila has been rolling for weeks now but has mastered the skill. She can now somersault to her desired object. This last week she has conquered sitting unassisted. Her favorite is to sit and pretend she is bull riding - imagine wild arm flinging. For the past week she has been munching on creamed banana and will try avocado for the first time tomorrow. Yay messy green face! We are doing baby signs - Leila just looks at us like were crazy. But we are going to keep at it. She is also saying momma. Not directed at me. This is just what she tends to say over and over if excited, tired or angry. Ok screaming baby says to get off computer.

Leila says Hi!

She has decided that the computer is a toy.
