seven
This sweet baby turned 7 yesterday.
I was talking to my mom last night and we were remembering all the things we've done in the last 7 years.
And how I NEVER would have guessed that we would be in Alabama today.
And how when my water broke at 930pm I called her and she came right down.
And my dad came too.
And my Aunt Terri.
And then my dad went and got my sister.
And I sent them to our apartment to get my slippers which were actually already at the hospital with me.
Oops!!
When she finally made her grand entrance the next morning at 8:19 she was the most amazing thing I had ever laid eyes on.
And then everyone left and it was just me and her and my arms were so shaky I thought I was going to drop her.
That night she wouldn't sleep so the nurses kept bringing her back to me. My mom was staying with me (so Lew could get some rest, we had all been up the entire night before).
The only way she would sleep was if she was being held.
She never had a crib. Ever.
We fought for every minute of sleep that girl has ever had.
She was born ready to take on the world.
She was talking at 8 months.
She was ready to run the preschool at age 2.
She has drive and dedication to spare.
And an INCREDIBLE memory like her dad.
She is a reading machine.
She is a stubborn, sensitive and hard working.
She is a great sister.
She chose a Vietnamese restaurant for her birthday dinner.
And chocolate cake with chocolate icing and vanilla ice cream.
We're heading to Atlanta tomorrow to spend the night and hit the American Girl store with Kit and Ruthie the next morning.
What's your favorite story or thing about her? (she'll love if you share)

New digs
Do you like our new place? A little bit of a fixer-upper, but.......
This cute little house is a part of our zoo. I really do want a big porch like that someday. And maybe a little farm to go with it (then I can put these 2 to work)!!
Can you find the chicken? 
B's favorite part is always the sheep. He loves sheep, isn't that funny? Maybe it's because he loves brushing them. Just looking at these pictures of the barn makes my eyes itch. So maybe I should rethink the whole farm idea.
The weather was so nice on Monday and since we had no school and there were no Martin Luther King Jr. activities going on (weird but whatever), we decided to head over to the zoo. Our zoo has the coolest play area in and on a big rock and a fun petting area.I was so glad to have the warmer weather back. I feel entitled to warm weather in the winter now. How will I ever live somewhere cold again? Our cold few weeks here just about did me in.

Tas-ty!!!!
This sweet vampire baby has her 18 month check up next week. Her goals are to be 20 lbs. and to have her iron at 11.0. If we reach those we might get to quit going in every 3-5 weeks to weigh her and prick her finger. Keep those fingers crossed! But isn't she yummy just the way she is?!?! Being 20 lbs. is overrated.
She loves to climb, but is afraid of heights.She has added some new tricks to her "who's the cutest baby" routine:
running away while yelling no!!! or ahhhhh!
saying "hi ya ya", no no no no no no no to everything, gigi (georgia), cheese, Jesus, Brooksie (in her own language), DenDen (aiden), bye, baby, bear, amen while folding arms, says shhhhh with fingers up her nose
waving bye bye
loving books and her monkey and bear
and being cute as a button

A won a major award!!!
My kids' elementary school does this award every grading period. It's an award for good citizenship and A has been disappointed every time she hasn't won. This time, she did win and she was thrilled.
She's been going through this major "that's so embarrassing" phase so I was worried she wouldn't want to get up in front of the whole school, but she did fine.
Two of her friends from her kindergarten class won this time too.
