Gracie's First Haircut.

I posted the video of Gracie getting her haircut but I never posted the photos. Earlier this month, we finally decided to take her in for a little haircut. She was developing quite the baby mullet. We hoped it would look a lot better if we got the back trimmed.

I was getting my haircut at the Nex Salon and was chatting with the gal about Gracie's baby mullet. I told her I was pretty sure I was going to trim the back. She said they do first haircuts for free. Sold!

So, the next morning we took her over there. She wanted to take Lamby with her. She did so good! She sat in the big chair and she wore the cape. We asked her to cut Gracie's hair dry since she HATES to get her hair washed. I was concerned that was would freak out and that would be the end of the haircut.

She just trimmed the back. It is nice and even and it looks so cute! Gracie sat still the entire time and did not get upset once. We were amazed at how well she did. She watched everything but stayed really calm.

When it was over they gave us a little certificate and a bit of hair to keep.

Babywise Bootcamp.

We are engaged in a little Babywise boot-camp at our house. Gracie's sleeping has gotten pretty bad and we have to do something. So, we are cracking down on her. It is not easy. Listening to her cry is just about the wost thing ever. I have been following the eat-play-sleep cycle from Babywise , but not much else. I have been putting her to sleep, while she listens to the vacuum cleaner or the stove fan. She is so used to napping on me that she won't sleep in her bed during the day. So, I end up holding her for nap-time so that she will actually take a nap. She does okay in her bed at night, most of the time. In the past week she has been up twice for 2-hour stretches in the middle of the night. As much as I love her, this isn't Mommy's favorite time to hang out with Gracie. It has become quite a struggle to get her to go to sleep and stay asleep. We are experiencing too many evenings of Gracie crying because she is up too late and can't fall asleep. Last nig...

I Scrapped!

I am so excited. I made a page yesterday!: I found a sketch online and is that ever the way to go. I was able to finish this during Gracie's naptime! How awesome is that? I love naptime. =) I loved not having to sit there and figure out where to put everything. It totally took away the pressure. I used my new goodies , which was also super fun. I love having pre-coordinated stuff to choose from. I also love that it came with these . This was the first scrapbook page I have made for/of Gracie and it felt great. It was awesome to record memories for her. I am not sure if I love the sticker in between the 2 photos, but it is a sticker and it won't come off. So, it stays. Perfection is not my game, people. I liked that the sketch had a place for paper, and helped me layer the paper, and had a place for the title and journal, but that was it. So, the rub-ons across the top and the sticker were my additions. I also changed were the journaling was supposed to be. There ...

The Simple Woman's Daybook: Wednesday ~ 2.24.10

Outside my window: Sunshine! It is cooler and a little windy, but the sun is out! I am thinking: How proud I am of Gracie for doing so well while we ran errands this morning. She doesn't like getting in and out of her carseat, repeatedly. I am thankful for: Gracie sleeping thru the night last night. The teething hit her hard yesterday, and the night before, but today she is doing much better. The Hubby comes home on Friday evening! We have missed having our favorite guy around here. From the kitchen: Sadly, not much. I haven't been very motivated or inspired to cook while the hubby is gone. I am wearing: Now that we are home, a rose colored maternity t-shirt and flannel pj bottoms. While we were out, a rose colored maternity t-shirt, jeans, and a beige zip up sweater. I am creating: Thinking a lot about finishing up Gracie's first year album. I did get a large amount of photos ordered for this project. I am going: No where else today. This morning: library, gas station, sto...
