Yet another milestone

By -
To piggy back on Ryan's post from earlier this morning...Whitney had so much fun with her daddy running.  It is the cutest thing to see her smile and giggle at him.  She certainly is becoming quite the daddy's girl!!

Grandma got a big smile out of Whitney as they played on the porch away from the hot sun this weekend.  Although she didn't like the pool, she did love the attention she was getting!!  I think she is slowly but surely getting over her fear of strangers (that meaning anyone other than mom or dad)!!


Whitney went into school with me today while I helped my long term sub pack up the classroom, which I might add was pretty much already taken care of!  So thankful for Mrs. Temple and the WONDERFUL job she did with my little tigers.  Whitney was such a good girl and barely even made a fuss.  However, it did bring a little tear to my eye when I turned away for a second and Whitney grabbed the bottle and started holding it herself.  Obviously this is great that she is developing and able to grasp items but she is just growing up so fast.  I now know why my grandparents used to say, "I'm going to get a rock to put on your head to stop you from growing so fast!"

Two blogs in one day, I know a little much but when you have something to share...you have something to share:) Now some of you might watch the video and think I am crazy but Ryan and I heard Whit say "mama" for the first time today.  She was looking at me and although I do know that it doesn't mean "mom" it made my heart melt!!  As you will see she is very tired so the quality of her words are not the best but she was saying it all day today....you believe me right? haha What a cutie!

tooth or a ham?

Is Whitney getting her first tooth or is she just being a ham?  Yesterday Ryan and I noticed that Whitney was chomping her gums, almost like she was eating something but nothing was in there!!  Today she has added a sound to the chomping that cracks me up.  Only time will tell I guess.  Perhaps it is a tooth but I am guessing that this goes in the file with fake coughing as an attention getter! Check out this video...this has been a constant noise from 7:45 this morning haha!!

Fantasy Football

Football season has arrived which means all the men in our family start using "uh huh" and "mmmm hmmm" as their main vocabulary.  This is especially true on draft day when all of them gather at the Sims house for good food and lots and lots of football talk!  The girls make sure they are "seen and not heard" on this day and usually congregate far away from the madness that ensues inside.  Picture this: 15 or so guys huddled over pages and pages of spreadsheets listing every football player worth anything in the NFL, scrambling to make just the right pick, only to receive 'smack' talk from all the other guys about how that wasn't the pick they would have made.  Bret doesn't mess around and has a larger than life poster to list all the draft picks with color coordinated stickers.....Im telling you if you haven't experienced this you won't believe your eyes!!  Once the draft if over (after about two hours of the above craziness) they a...
