Recent Movies I Have Seen

This was a VERY good movie! It reminded me a lot of Forrest Gump. I will admit that it was a little sad and depressing, but overall it was a great movie! I am glad that I went to see it!






This movie was not at all what I thought it would be. I thought it would be "cute"--However, I was really bored throughout the movie. It was very slow (in my opinion). It wasn't awful, but I should have waited until it came out on dvd.







I went to see this movie with some friends today, and it was absolutely adorable!!! It was very silly and kind of predictable, but I like movies like that! It definately had its funny moments, and Isla Fisher was just precious. I will surely watch this one again when it comes out on dvd (might even buy it)!








This was surprisingly my favorite movie that I have seen lately. I honestly wasn't expecting much out of it, but it was GREAT! It was kind of a long movie, but it really kept my attention the whole time!!! I loved all of the people who were in it, and they did a great job as the characters they were playing. I made Keith go with me, and he said, "It was alright for a girl movie," which means he liked it-haha! I will most definately buy this one when comes out!! It has been added as one of my favorites!

Anyway, as you can see, I have actually gone to quite a few movies lately. Before we went to see Benjamin Button, I had not been to a movie since last March (Ava has been keeping us so busy)! It's been nice to get out and see some movies lately.

Around The House Today!

Happy Baby!







I can stand!!!

9 Months Old

Ava turned 9 months old yesterday. I know I say this every month, but I seriously don't know where the time has gone. She is so much fun right now--full of personality!

-She still has only two teeth, but I think more are coming soon. She still drools all the time! We go through a quite a few bibs a day.

-She is ALMOST crawling. She is definately scooting a lot. I think she will be crawling in the next few weeks which means I need to babyproof this house soon.

-She sill babbles all the time. She says "dada" a lot, but I don't know whether or not she knows what she is saying! :)

-Her hair gets longer by the day!

-She is going through a stage right now where she is very attached to Keith and me. She gets upset when we leave her with other people. It's just a stage right????

-Still sleeping through the night! She is going to bed earlier and waking up earlier, though (bedtime-8ish wakeup time-7ish). She takes a morning nap and an afternoon nap.

-We have definately gotten into a schedule, and it has been really nice! :)

-She loves her "puffs" and can feed herself!

-Table food she has tried: butterbeans, baked potato, and mac-n-cheese. I think she liked the butterbeans okay, but she was not a fan of the baked potato (I guess it was the texture?)

I can't wait to see what fun things she does this coming month! :)

Such A Beautiful Day!

It is such a pretty day outside! I think we are going to take Ava to the park this afternoon since it's so nice. The weekend is also supposed to be nice, so that is exciting. I am so not a winter person, and I am ready for Spring to be here! It's just around the corner. Spring has been my favorite season for as long as I can remember. I love it because of the flowers, and I know that Summer will soon be here! A lot of people like Fall, but I have never been a big fan because I know Winter is coming. The only thing I like about Winter is Christmas--then I am ready for it to warm up again! Anyway, enough rambling for today! :)

Opinions Please

Okay, so I have had my eye on this dress for weeks. I love it, but I have a problem. I don't know what kind of shoes to wear with it....?? It looks black, but it's actually navy. What kind of shoes would you wear with this dress? Thanks in advance for any opinions! Have a great night!

Catching Up

I have been so bad about this whole blogging thing, but I am trying to do better! Not much has been going on with us. I have been sick the past few days. I went to the doctor yesterday to get an antibiotic. They took blood and stuck me THREE times! This was so traumatic for me because I HATE needles! haha I am starting to feel much better, but I am taking it easy for the next couple of days. I just hope I don't pass it along to Ava.

Speaking of Ava, she is doing fantastic, but she is growing so fast!! It feels like we just brought her home from the hospital and makes me wonder where the time has gone. I will try to post some recent pictures soon.

I will close with 25 random facts about me. I have seen this a lot on facebook recently, but I thought I would do it here, too!
