I'm a Little Cowgirl

Landyn was so excited for her first "interactive" visit to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo!

We met Ashlee and Hunter at the Tram. They were a little nervous at first...

But got comfortable pretty quickly :)

Landyn started by getting acquainted with a few animals...

This is a pig. They are much cuter and smaller in books!

The goats were a little TOO friendly at times :)

Ashlee and Hunter, our Rodeo buddies

We ended with a family petting zoo picture, then continued with the rest of the festivities...What could be more fun than waiting in lines,

meeting new friends,

planting

and picking tomatoes,

making silly faces,

milking fake cowsinventing your OWN carnival rides, and waiting for next year?!?

Happy Teeth

As we are midway through February (Dental Health Month) we would like to remind everyone that happy brushing leads to happy teeth! So thank goodness someone LOVES to brush her teeth around here :)

8 Weeks - Bellies!

7 Weeks - Blueberry

We are seven weeks pregnant and a lot is happening to our little embryo, inside of me at the moment. It's arms and legs are sprouting and it has doubled in size since last week - now the size of Landyn's favorite little berry

Though this delicious fruit is so yummy and sweet, I sure don't feel so much of that right now. I guess because I'm running around with a toddler on top of the tiredness from pregnancy, it just seems to be harder this time around, on my body. But looking at the positives, I'm getting a lot of needed sleep, more baths and TONS of attention from the Mr. of the house! He always seems to know exactly what I need, when I need it (like a plate of oranges and nuts in the bath yesterday)!!

And I know this is God's way of preparing us, in some form, for adding another miracle in our "mix". I love knowing there is a reason for all of this!

Lovely Landyn is Proud...

to announce that she will soon be a

We are excited to add another Roberts to our family at the end of September, 2011. We went to our first doctor's appointment and found out that my progesterone levels are a bit low, so I have to take a supplement until we hear the babies heartbeat. I've had several friends who've had the same issue and everything turned out fine.

Look who else is super excited!

Check back for updates :)

Firsts

First off - this post will be a combination of several recent events in one.

The first is Landyn's first day of daycare (January 4th). The goes to the Goddard School in Pearland. We chose this facility due to the location (very near my school) and the recommendations from parents and teachers I've talked with. When we walked in we felt very comfortable and the teachers seem very trustworthy and in love with the children.

On her first day I had to wake her up for the first time in her life (at 6:30). So...she looked a little rough that first day because she was tired and we were so anxious to make sure we had her there with everything she needed (I forgot to brush her hair not that it would have helped!) LOL

She had a great first day and first week. On Wednesday she had her 15 month check up and got 3 vaccinations :( Her measurements were 21.5 lbs (25%) and 33 inches tall (110%). Looks like we have a super model on our hands ;) On Thursday they called and said she had a fever. I went to pick her up and later that night we ended up in the E.R. for the first time in her life (we made it 15 months) with a fever at 107! Obviously, she had an infection (they diagnosed her with an ear infection) and gave her a shot and antibiotics. She will be finished with those in 10 days (only 3 days to go).

She is doing much better now, but has conformed to a new "wake-up" time around 6 (boooo!). She also is so worn out at the end of the day and starts to climb in her crib saying "Night, night" before her bedtime (that's a first).

So with many firsts in the past 2 weeks we have been so thankful that everything is on a routine and Landyn is on her way to medicine-free days. She loves "school" and they love her too.

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
