Randoms...

*Bachelorette. Why is she so hung up on Bentley? Seriously? The guy treated her like crap...and she keeps. talking. about. him. I wish she could see what we all saw and then, maybe, she would stop going on about him...


*I finally found a girl who did my hair amazingly well. Problem? She no longer works at my salon. Soooo....I saw a new girl. Who totally turned me into a brunette. And cut off a lot of length. Not what I had hoped for when I went in telling her I wanted honey/caramel hues and a trim. *sigh* Now to find a new stylist and wait out the next few weeks rockin' out my hair as if I loved it.


*I'm in the market for some new makeup and would like to stay on a budget. I had been going to Ulta and splurging on my foundation & powder (used Bare Minerals...not the biggest fan...), but now I would like to go to Target/Wal-Mart and buy something amazing for a fraction of the price. What's your favorite face makeup?


*I finally watched Black Swan. And I loved it. It was dark, amazing, and made me sit and watch it without being online. It was that good. It's one of those movies where you'll love it or hate it. I? Loved it.


*Brynlie totally just laughed in her baby sleep. Holy adorableness I love her so much! She will be one month on Tuesday. Oh my word does time fly or what?


*I have an obsession lately with nail polish. Lately I've been in love with all of Essie's amazing colors--seriously, they make me want to give myself a new pedi every other day. Definitely recommend a new nail color to boost your mood! If you need suggestions let me know and I'll give you my favorite shades that I've been crushing on this summer.


*The husband bought me a Nook Color back in early May. I LOVE it. I always swore off any e-reader, but am so happy I have one! I'm trying to finish all of my paperbacks so I can buy more e-books. I'm hooked and am so happy that Leo bought me one for Mother's Day.


*Need to start working out again (besides mowing which I do once a week--and love for that matter). I have a postpartum boot camp DVD...and I'm interested in a Zumba workout that I can do from home. I wonder if Wii makes one? Or maybe I'll just be better off with a DVD? Thoughts?

Happy {1} Month Birthday, Sweet Girl...

Sweet Madelyn,

You are one month old today, sweetie!

I can't believe your first month has gone by so quickly...where has the time gone?

I know I've said it so many times, but you are such a wonderful little baby.

You are the BEST sleeper. Ever.

Seriously.

You wake up one time during the nite to eat. One.

I'm still in shock...and hopefully I haven't just jinxed us all.

I love it when you sneeze--and I love it when you sneeze and try to sneeze again, but you can't--you make the cutest noise!

When you sleep you sometimes grunt and make cute baby noises...simply adorable.

You eat like a champ--and you almost always chug your bottles. It makes me laugh everytime.

You are recognizing voices...you'll turn your head when you hear us talk.

You love our bed's headboard--you stare at it all the time. You also stare at our paintings in the living room--I think they comfort you!

OH-and one last thing...you. rolled. over. today!

I had you on your tummy for tummy time...and you started to roll on your side...and then? You were on your back.

In shock.

As was I!!

Happy one month, love. We love you and are so blessed to have you as our daughter.
