Must read
Please read this blog!! I have introduced her before but you must read her again. She just started posting a lot more recently and we need to encourage such a wonderful blogger!! Plus, she's one of my bestest friends and Libby's second cousin, or something like that.

I forgive her opinions on brown, because she puts it so charmingly. I do agree on wearing all brown is a no-no, kind of makes you look like a big Hershey's bar.
Haha, a picture of her wearing brown!!

25 Extremely Interesting Facts about me!
Here's something that's been going around facebook so I thought I would use it as a blog post too!
Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.
I've loved reading these notes about my friends so I'm going to write one, and you'd better love it!! ;) These are in no particular order of importance, I just wrote them as I thought of them.
1. I'm the second of seven children and I LOVE my siblings (hey y'all!). Oh and the youngest is 8. :)
2. I was homeschooled my whole life and lived to tell about it. I'm not strange at all, right, RIGHT?!
3. I'm an unashamed Christian. And I wish that we Christians weren't always so apologetic about our faith, working on that one.
4. I'm also a staunch political Conservative. Sorry, not apologetic about that one either. :)
5. Goes along with #4 but I am a HUGE dittohead. I loooove listening to Rush Limbaugh. Give him a shot, you'll learn a lot and have a lot of laughs too.
6. I am soo loving my current job and I have the best reward! Taking care of my precious baby and my sweet husband is the best ever!
7. I like cooking and making fun meals but I do NOT like cleaning the kitchen. I'm still working on the whole "clean as you go" theory.
8. I drink hot tea every day, probably owe that one to my mom!
9. My mom is from New Zealand and I've been there three times (twice that I can remember) and all of her family still lives there.
10. I've known Tim's family my whole life, but I only met him 6 years ago, and we got married 18 months later.
11. My family is big, loud, and loving and family vacations and holidays are the best!
12. Tim is my best friend and I miss our college days only because we got to hang out together all the time.
13. I'm a true Texas girl and I can't wait to move back there one day. Not a fan of these NE winters!
14. I used to paint and draw a lot and I should probably do that again.
15. I'm really bad about starting projects and not finishing them (hopefully I'll finish this note!).
16. I love reading people's blogs, especially quirky stay-at-home moms. Ask me and I'll give you a great list, you'll be hooked too!
17. I love running and have finished two half-marathons and my goal is to finish another one before I get pregnant again.
18. I majored in US History in college and I loved it, especially the time from the Revolution to the Constitution. (hence my daughter's name)
19. My family grew up super close to the Henderson family. We're all very tight (all 14 of us) and our "theme movie" is That Darn Cat and we can probably quote the entire thing. Right, Buff?
20. This is getting boring.
21. I love baseball and was a huge Atlanta Braves fan growing up. I had a life-size Chipper Jones poster in my closet that was my pride and joy and my sister Rebecca's horror.
22. Bethanie Henderson and I flirted with a chubby bat boy at a couple of Astros games in order to get free stuff.
23. I once got run over by a llama.
24. I'm blessed to have some very wonderful friends who I hardly ever get to see and who I miss VERY much!! (you know who you are!)
25. I LOVE TIM.
Ok, your turn now, I want to learn more about y'all!!
I tag: Jessica, Erin, Bethanie, Steph, Liz, and whoever else wants to join in on the fun! Let me know if you do it and I'll check yours out!

5 weeks!
Yesterday Libby and I went to her pediatrician for her monthly check-up. She is doing so fantastic! I had guessed that maybe she would have gained a pound from her last visit. She weighed 7lb 11 oz the last time so I figured she'd be around 8lb 11 oz or so. Nope! She sure surprised me! She weighed in at 9lb 15oz and is now 23" long!! That puts her in the 95th percentile for height and the 74th for weight! I am so proud of her! And of me too. :) She is exclusively breastfeeding and that is obviously going quite well. We have been very blessed in many areas and that is one of them. She eats about every 2 to 4 hours but mostly about every 3. When she naps and at night she goes longer but in the evenings she tends to cluster feed. She's messing a lot of diapers so I know she's getting lots of milk! Plus, she sometimes coughs and chokes and gets sprayed in the face so I know she's getting a lot. :)
Speaking of diapers...I know you are all so very curious so I'll tell you! We've been using cloth diapers more and more. Mostly part time right now. Pretty much during the day when we're at home. But I think we'll start using them at night soon too. I should take some pictures of her in them - they're just so darn cute! If you're considering using cloth I would highly recommend it, it's a little more work but so worth it to me. I have 30 pre-folds and 4 covers and 9 Bum Genius diapers. You can buy the BG at Target so I was blessed with a lot of those as gifts. They're not as absorbent as 'sposies but that's a good thing! One of my main concerns with using the disposables so much is the chemicals which allow them to absorb so much fluid. Plus, they're supposed to make potty training a lot easier so that'll be nice! Anyway, they're not super scary and if anyone is interested I can write a more detailed post about it along with some pictures.
One more thing, she is starting to smile so much more! It's really adorable! I'll have to try to get more photographic evidence of it.
And we had a lot more snow yesterday, probably about 6in. so that's really pretty but makes it a little more difficult to get out, and I really, really need to get to the grocery store! We've ploughed through my freezer food and had grilled cheese for dinner last night. Which is not too bad but I'm trying to get rid of some baby weight so grilled chicken and veggies is a much better option!
Have a wonderful day!

One month pics!
Here are some pictures of our sweet babe!
And a major update! Libby rolled over! I could not believe it! She did it the day before her 1 month birthday and I was so impressed. And she did it again on Sunday. So we're going to be working on that a lot this week! She also had some company! Kristin came to see us! And we had such a wonderful time! It's always fun to see family.
And now the little scrunchy is waking up so I'd better get going!
