My Baby's Not A Baby :(

Today I realized that my baby is not so much a baby anymore - for a couple of reasons. She got her 1st haircut, which I realize is not that big of a deal considering that most of my friends kids around the same age have had several haircuts. But why does such a tiny little bit of hair missing totally change the way she looks? Of course we only let the best of the best have the honor to give the first snip.....(thanks Krystal!)

And of course after you get a new hair style it never fails that you can never style it as good as the beautician does.......

But it's OK - I don't think she liked it anyway!


And now the 2nd and most important reason my little Ella Bella is a Big Girl now...

She has gone tee-tee in the potty every night (except one) for the past week!
It doesn't really seem like she knows what the heck is going on, but we are still making a big deal about it. Every night, right before she gets in the bath tub we sit her on the potty and walla - it's been that easy! I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that I have just taken her diaper off and the cool air hits her, or that there is water running to fill the tub...nope, don't think so. Either way, surely routine is a good thing & I think she will be peeing like a pro before we know it!!!

And...look who's home!

Oh how we missed you Daddy!

Neal was working in Marble Falls for the past 2 months only coming home on the weekends. Let me put it this way - IT SUCKED!!!!
I have to take call twice a week, meaning that on those nights Ella & I were staying at my parents house in case I had to go in. Of course Ella loved getting to stay at Nannie & Papaw's house, but I think it really jacked her up. She had to have been totally confused, at home one night, then to Nannie & Papaw's for a couple, back home, see Daddy for a day or two, then he's gone again. Needless to say, I could definitely see a change in her behavior(and it wasn't a favorable one.)
But what do you know, as soon as Neal got home - totally different baby! So, we are both so so so happy your home Daddy - now we're gonna put a chain on you so you can never go back!
