Project Life Tuesday 2 for 1

I completely missed last weeks Project Life Tuesday, so this week I'm doing a 2 for 1. This week is up first.

Monday January 31, 2011

Is there a 12 step program for moms who go way overboard with little girl hair accessories? Aaron sure thinks I need one!! But my little hair challenged baby girl *NEEDS* all these bows and flowers so that I don't get those annoying "what a cute little guy" comments.

Monday February 1, 2011

I miss my little Scoot soooo much during the day while I'm at school. When I get home I need a little snuggle time to make my whole day better! So glad my little munchkin is so willing to oblige my snuggles and smooches!

The weather today was beautiful so I convinced Aaron to go on a walk with me and Scoot. We put the stroller away when we finished the walk and Scoot was obsessed with her reflection in the dirty car window!

Happy baby surrounded by her toys and working on getting those socks off!
Friday February 4, 2011

Scoot's first time using a straw. We got her a sippy cup with a straw but she really did not understand how to get the water into her mouth. She loved drinking water through the straw this way though!!
Saturday February 5, 2011

Scoot pulled herself up between my legs to check out the project life book from 2010. I'm still going back and filling in some of the journaling.

Aaron and Scoot in the midst of their relaxing Sunday afternoon between church and the superbowl.
*And now we take a time warp back a week*

My tiny baby is getting so big so fast! When did she get big enough to sit on my shoulders?
Tuesday January 25, 2011

Washing bottles is a major part of my day. Bottles and pump parts must be washed 3 to 4 times a day. I love weekends when I can take the pumping and washing down to 2 times a day - max!! But it's all worth it for my baby girl!
Wednesday January 26, 2011

These little knit hats are a wonderful way for me to make something and feel a little crafty at the end of the day when I have no more brain power. These require no thinking/counting/pattern.
Thursday January 27, 2011

We've been trying to remember to take weekly pictures of Scoot on this little lamb blanket since she was 1 week old. It was much easier before she was mobile!!
Friday January 28, 2011

We've been "Partners in Hope" with St. Jude Children's Hospital for several years now, and it has only gotten closer to my heart now that Scoot is here. I'm so glad there is a place like St. Jude to take care of these families who are facing a tough road. Our local radio station is gearing up for their annual St. Jude radiothon and I got my newsletter in the mail today.
Saturday January 29, 2011

We met my mom and dad at Red Robin to celebrate mom's birthday with burgers and singing! Scoot LOVED every time she heard them singing (there were a LOT of folks celebrating birthdays there tonight) and she never took her eyes off them while they sang to my mom.
Sunday January 30, 2011

Scoot moved up to her big girl car seat today. Her little tootsies were hanging out of the infant seat and I was always afraid I was going to bang them into the door frame while taking the carrier in and out. She already seems to be much more comfortable in this bigger seat. She's growing tooooo fast!!
I'm linking up over at The Mom Creative. Come visit and see who else is doing Project Life Tuesday!

Project Life Tuesday 1.17.11 - 1.23.11

Project Life Week 3! I am so excited about this whole thing!

*So far I'm caught up on all my pictures and journaling for this year!

*Project Life is reminding me to get my camera out daily and take pictures of any and everything. Some days it is really hard to pick which picture to highlight from the day! I love the habit that I'm getting into of having my camera everywhere I go AND remembering to use it!

*I'm trying extra hard to make sure that I have pictures with me IN them. I want Scoot to have proof that I was around when she's looking back on these books in 10, 2o, or 30 years! I'm not just the one behind the camera. Who cares that I haven't lost the baby weight or that my hair wasn't perfect?!

*These pictures are of our real life - there's clutter! and dust! and sometimes we wear pjs ALL day!

I'm linking up with Jessica over at The Mom Creative for her Project Life Tuesday fun. Come see how a bunch of other folks are using their Project Life kits and be inspired!

Scoot pulled herself up on this box of diapers that we just had cluttering up our living room after Lollie and Pop very generously gave them to us yesterday. This time she stayed upright long enough to pose for a photo shoot. Thank goodness for Martin Luther King Jr. day and my day off so that I could be home to see her milestones!

Tuesday January 18, 2011

Scoot was having a rough night *staying* asleep. Daddy has the right stuff though! Stretched out on Daddy's chest with her blanket and she was out for a couple more hours. Daddy got in a nice little nap too!
Wednesday January 19, 2011

Mommy was checking facebook when Scoot decided to get in on some of the action! It's crazy to think how far technology has come since I was her age and I can't even imagine where it will go by the time she is a grown up! This picture will probably be laughable by the time she's ready for college, just like 3.5in floppy disks are now!
Thursday January 20, 2011

A 50's housewife? Nope, no heels or apron here. Just getting some chores done before we went out to eat with friends and Lollie came over to stay with Scoot.
Friday January 21, 2011

In an effort to not eat out as often I put a monthly menu on the fridge. It's also been a fantastic tool to help Aaron help me. He can see what's for dinner and get it started or even make the whole thing while I'm otherwise engaged with a certain nursing baby!
Saturday January 22, 2011

We found this Leap Frog table at a consignment shop for $18. It's in perfect condition. Aaron says it's not a deal unless we know how much we saved. He checked Walmart and Target to find out they are asking $49.99 for it new. And check out those standing skills!
Sunday January 23, 2011

We are only eating out if we have a gift card or our parents call us for a grandbaby fix. Coxie called for her fix tonight and we were thrilled to get a nice dinner at Smokey Bones. Scoot was fantastic while we ate and very social after we finished. She especially loved eating her shoes! Aaron and Grandaddy were just glad that the football games were on all the TVs.

Project Life Round 2

In 2010 I attempted to take a picture every day! I just finished putting all my pictures in my Project Life album and I'm proud to say that I only missed about 20 days for the whole year. I'm pretty proud of myself!! Now if only I had kept up with the journaling... I'd be done with 2010. But my journaling is only complete through the end of April. Ooooopps! My hand will be sore by the time I'm done with all that writing!

I love the end result (even with most of the journaling missing so far) that I'm doing it again for 2011. And this time my goal is to stay on top of the journaling. Every day is a stretch, but once a week is completely doable.

To keep me accountable (and to spice up my neglected blog a little) I'm going to post my weekly photos and journaling on Tuesday. I'll be joining Jessica at The Mom Creative who sponsors Project Life Tuesday. Follow along and take a peek into my day-to-day life.

Monday - January 3, 2011

It's amazing to see how much Scoot has grown when I compare this picture to her "first bath" picture. I love the way she's just relaxing in the warm sudsy water.

Tuesday - January 4, 2011

We've made a resolution to eat out less in 2011. Aaron is chef for the night and waiter too!

Wednesday - January 5, 2011

Scoot was up a lot last night. Aaron got up for the 3:30 fuss and very soon discovered a HAZMAT diaper situation. They both stayed up until 5 when I got up to shower and then they zonked back out.

Thursday - January 6, 2011

I finally got the rest of my 2010 pictures printed and I'm ready to put them in my 2010 Project Life album. Now I need to get busy on the journaling!

Friday - January 7, 2010

Scoot loves the dogs! She crawls over to check them out and always talks to them when we get home or after she wakes up from a nap. Can't believe Aaron got a picture with 2 dogs and a baby looking at him! woohoo!

Saturday - January 8, 2011

Scoot tries solid food for the first time!! We decided to go with green beans for the first meal. She seemed to like them. No yucky faces and none spit out!

Sunday - January 9, 2011

Scoot has mastered crawling and is now climbing *into* her toy box to get whatever she wants out. She's also learned that if she takes it ALL out she can switch between toys without missing any play time.

(I can't get this one to show up. I'll try to edit later.)
