Easter

Tomarrow is Easter, my mom and dad and sister will be driving down to visit, I am so excited! It will be nice to see them. Last time I saw them was Spring Break. Its hard being away from my family, they are not just a short drive down the road anymore, its a 3-4 hr drive!

I am planning a lunch/dinner for tomarrow. I got a ham yesterday and I'm going to make potato salad since everyone seems to love it (the potatoes are boiling away right now) also butternut squash, and I have a couple of yams left over, I might mix them in with the squash, I'm still not sure yet. Some kinda of veggies. Mom said she is going to make a glazed carrot thing but Dom doesn't like carrots so I'll cook up some green beans or something. I have some organic ones in the freezer I could easily cook. I think mom said something about a desert and maybe my great grandma's, "Lucy Rolls", they are so yummy!! Nothing fancy, just some good food and family! I have an email from the allrecipes web site for solw cooker ham, I'm gunna have to check that out and see if its something I wanna try, I love crock pot cooking!

We colored eggs today. I got a traditional color kit and a glitter color kit...I don't know if that was a good idea lol. We used the glitter PLUS glitter we had around the house to use on school art projects and such. We did NOT use it the way it said to lol. We simply rolled the eggs in glitter after they came out of the color cup and were still wet. We have some VERY glittery eggs! By the way... old sheets work great to cover your table to protect it for egg dye!

Loving Baby Center

Wow, its been too long since I posted a new blog!
I joined a Feb 2011 babies group on the Baby Center web site and I love it! Its nice to be able to talkto other moms with babies around the same age as Mia. Its nice to know that I am not alone in a lot of things. Many moms are going though the same things I am going through with their babies and themselves! Its good to be able to relate and talk to other moms, even if its not in person. Its nice to be able to vent and have somebody that totally understands what you are going though. Yes, James is here and I can talk to him and he is caring and loving about my emotions and such but its differnet cuz he is a man, he doesn't totally understand, talking to another woman about things just re-a-sures me I guess.

I cannot belive that Mia is already 2mos old! She is getting big! We won't have her 2mo check up untill next month, that is the earliest the Dr. could get her in. But at her last check up, which was April 4th, she was 9Lbs 7oz and 22inches long. She is fitting into the 0-3mo clothes now and less and less of the NB size, she is just about too long for them. She has had several milestones...she has smiled, giggled and rolled over from her tummy to her back, she has tried to roll from her back to her stomach but hasn't got it down yet. She is also sleeping through the night most of the time! She has become more alert and aware of things around her.

Ashlee tires to help me a lot, she throws diapers away, she will get her "pas" or her blankie if I ask her to. She is always trying to give her hugs and kisses, a little too much I think, she always seems to be in her face. She also tries to pick her up whenever I have my back turned, I have caught her several times.
