ALMOST...

Jaycie Berry is 10 months old (10.5 to be exact) and just growing FAST!!!! Last Friday, June 25, 2010 she took her first step!!!! That’s right, she’ll soon be walking. My mom (Grandma Brenda) and Rita (Nana) were lucky enough to see this AMAZING milestone. My mom and dad brought her to me on Friday night since she stayed with Nana on Thursday night and spent the day with her my parents offered to bring her home so that they could see her, plus I needed to get home right after work to start pulling more weeds for the sod that was coming the next day (yes, we finally have a yard – that is if we don’t kill it – this heat SUCKS). When they pulled up my mom immediately told me that she had taken a step right in front of her and Rita!!!!

I was so excited we tried to get her to do it again and tried to videotape it, we warmed her up by having her push her little buggy around, finally we tried. My mom was holding her up – helping her get her balance and then let go, she stood there for a minute and then she took a step towards me and then another small one before falling forward!!!! SO COOL!!!! My dad was videotaping and got most of it, I’ll try and post if someone can tell me how…

HERE WE GO...

OK, here’s the thing – I’ve been thinking about this for a LONG time now and I’m finally going to try and get my stuff together. The past year has FLOWN by and I’ve blinked and my baby is almost a year old and I’ve done NOTHING with this blog. I wanted to use it as a sort of “memory book” to track things that happen and that just hasn’t happened. I work full time and when I come home I spent time with Jaycie, so now I’m feeling TONS of regret that I haven’t taken the time to write things down, so here goes, THE PLAN:

I’m going to start writing once a week at least – just updates on our family, especially for our good friends in KC – I’m sure they’ll be proud. On a side note – I’ve starting writing in Jaycie’s baby book – FINALLY – I’ve been putting it off because I’m such a control freak and I knew I would get so frustrated with my handwriting and the way it looks, I’m getting over it and wouldn’t you know the pen smeared EVERYWHERE!!! I guess I had that coming, oh well, I just need to let it go and get my stuff together!!!

Tonight I’m going home to start coping photos from the past year onto my computer and onto DVDs so I can print them for my albums, maybe write a few pages in Jaycie’s baby book and hopefully get this blog up and running AGAIN!!!

Wish me luck – keep you posted!!!
