My First Blog

I am completely new to the whole "blogging" thing.  I give full credit to my friend Sylvia James for motivating me to do this.  Thanks friend!  I hope I can be half as creative as you are! I'm sure I will be messaging you soon to learn some of your creative tricks!

Just a little background history.  I am married to the love of my life, Travis Overstreet.  We have been together for six years.  We have a little girl, Haleigh Brooke, that was born February 21, 2012 (3 days after my birthday). She was 7lbs 2oz and 19 1/2 inches long. She is, by far, the greatest blessing myself or Travis ever received. 
 



My goal for my new blog is to post about Haleigh's journey through her first year of life.  There are so many things she has already done that are blog worthy.  I'm hoping that, by doing these blogs, I will take more pictures and write about each new thing Haleigh does as she grows.  Haleigh went for a checkup this week with her pediatrician.  She was 15lbs and 5 oz and 26 1/2 inches long. It's amazing just how much she has grown in just 4 1/2 months! She's laughing out loud, rolling over, scooting, and trying to crawl.  She holds her head up well now. We are working on sitting up and she's doing a great job of that too! She loves water! Bath time is her favorite! This week, she has began "talking" to her toys and man is it funny (especially when she feels the need to scream at them)!  Here are a few recent pics of our sweet little angel. Oh, and she is a BAMA fan! Roll Tide!!

I forgot to post her newest discovery- her tongue!! She found her tongue last week (20 weeks old).  Now that she has found it, she thinks it very funny when she shows it off.  She gets really tickled about her tongue :)

This is all for today. I don't think this is too bad for the first post :) I can't wait to learn more and begin blogging more as our sweet baby grows and embarks on new things!
