well its been awhile since ive posted anything so i guess i should give an update about whats going on in the williams' life....
well last weekend we attended a wedding. then monday i had a dermatology appointment. everything checked out. however now my mom wants to go back bc she wasnt satisfied about one particular spot i showed to the doctor. so looks like i will be making another appointment to have a spot removed on my breast. mom just wants to safe. the doctor said it was fine and to keep watching it. but you know how moms are, they worry- and im ok with that!
so then tuesday was the last night of my health care managment class. i turned in my research paper and we got out of class early! thank god!
and it was johnny birthday!!!! we obviously didnt do anything special since we were in class all night. but i did buy him a couple of gifts and surprised him when he got home - and on monday evening we are cooking out ribs with the family for his birthday. so its a little late but at least its something.
so now yesterday i just worked all day and went home and worked some more.
as for little miss lyla- well last weekend she was having an issue of going to the bathroom. so i gave her some karosyrup in her bottle and that helped. but now she is trying to constipated again. so we will begin the karosyrup regamin again in every other bottle. that is if i can keep everyone on a schedule of what she is supposed to eat and when and when and when not she is supposed to get the karo in her bottle. we will see how this goes. she is now finished with the rice. we have officially moved on to oatmeal! so she gets 2 teaspoons of oatmeal before her 6 ounce bottle of milk. and then on wednesday she goes for her 6 month checkup and shot at the peds office. im sure that will be a joyous morning! we will see how it goes.
so now this weekend, and by weekend i litterally mean friday-monday, we will be attending my dear friends, iriant and miledge, wedding in south carolina. we are leaving tomorrow morning and wont be back until sunday. then both johnny and i have monday off, so we will be recooperating from our trip. i just pray lyla does great and doesnt cause a mess at the wedding. she is usually always good but who knows how she will be with the traveling. sunday we plan on taking out time getting back into town, we if we see something we want to like we just might stop. sounds like fun ! i cant wait to have this little get away with my family :)
so i guess thats the update. the car is in the shop today, gettting new tires, and alignment and inspection.
got 2 new pics of lyla for ur viewing pleasure as well :)
well after a while i will post the new pics

happy bday daddy~ and lyla update ( a little long :s )
well today is may 18, 2011. my daddys birthday. he would have been 46 today. thats just so young to not be alive. its sad, it really is. and i honestly cant believe its been 2 years since he has been gone. i have learned that since he died, life is short and you never know what might happen. yeah i know people say that all the time, but until something like this happens to you, you never really understand the meaning.
well enough about that bc i def. dont want to be crying my eyes out today bc i have to work.....
so monday i start lyla on some oatmeal. she know is drinking 5.5 ounces of formula with a teaspoon of ricein her bottle. before every bottle she gets 1-1.5 teaspoons of tice mixed with milk in a bowl. and now at lunch and dinner time she gets the oatmeal instead of the rice. she LOVES it! and she is doing so good with whole spoon situation. i am so proud of her. if this week goes well with the oatmeal, meaning if she doesnt have an allergic reaction or tummy issues, i will take away the rice in the bowl and only put it in her bottle. then before every feeding we will do oatmeal instead of rice. then on june 1st when she has her 6 month checkup, if the doctor gives me the ok, we will start her on baby foods. HOWEVER
i am torn about this whole baby food ordeal. i would LOVE to make her baby food but 1. do i have time? 2. so i have the energy? and 3. so i want to spend the money on a machine to puree the stuff? and then that leads me to the question of organic baby food. which i would like for to have organic or homemade bc there is not all those perservatives and mess in it. but organic is a little on the expensive side. but babies are expensive so who cares right?
so anywho. i will be talking to johnny about this one. bc i could make the baby food and the MIL could help out since she is home with lyla anyway everyday. but then the question comes about of when we travel. homemade bf has to be refrigerated. so who knows... looks like i have some research to do......
oh and lyla was 6 MONTHS old yesterday!!!!! happy 1/2 yr lyla!! :) u cant believe she is 6 months already! she is growing up way to fast-
and saturday and sunday she had her first beach trip- she loved it! and i think she would have loved the water but it was wayyyy to cold. so maybe next time. she loved it but i got burnt bc i was too busy worrying about her to put on sunblock. so now im dealing with that but it feels much much better today. now i have to get it to blend in by the time the wedding gets here next week.
well i must go......
here is a new picture of lyla :)

~come on weekend~
So this weekend we are going to the beach! woohoo! i cant wait! it will be lylas first time and a much need change of scenery for me and the hubby. its going to be nice to just leave home for even a day!
Lyla is going to look so cute in her blue, lady bug print bathing suite :)
on another note, it has been a week of crazyiness! monday night the neighbors car caught on fire so we had to deal with that and lyla wasnt to be miss clingy pants. she just wanted her mommy. which is understandable and i certainly dont mind, but when she is clingy i cant get anything else done! but in time that will change im sure.
she has now been eating rice in her a bottle for a little while and we are also giving her some by spoon at lunch time everyday. however, this weekend i think i am going to give her some in a bowl at lunch time and maybe try some oatmeal at dinner time... .we will see how that goes.
then after a few weeks of oatmeal i think we will try fruits and veggies. and then begins the baby food trial. it should be interesting bc i would really love to make my baby food and if i dont have time/ energy to do that then i would like to by organic baby food but i might have to get a second job just to pay for that!
so we will see how everything goes.
well next weekend johnny is doing a wedding on satuday and then the week after that he is doing another one and on that weekend i am in a wedding in SC, so that means friday the 20th we will have to leave in the morning to make it to the rehearsal dinner and everything. should be exciting! and then may 24th its johnnys b-day- WOOHOO! which i know what i would like to get him its just the matter of do i have the extra money. so we will have to see how everything goes.
well back to work
oh and is a pic from mothers day :) lyla and johnny are the best mothers day presents for me :) i love being a mom and a wife !!

~mothers day weekend~
well i had a pretty good mothers day! saturday was my day to celebrate, so johnny and i, well more johnny than me, cut down 2 trees in the front yard and then we attemped to put together my new swing for the front porch, but it was broke :( so now i have to take it back and try some other lowes bc that was the last wood swing they had in this particular lowes. so im a little sad about that but it will be ok. lyla loved being outside!
and then on sunday we went to my moms and lyla sat up so good by herself!!! she still falls over from time to time but she is working on it !
lyla is also working on eating from a spoon. she doenst understand just yet but we are working on it. she is just so cute! and she is growing so fast! and getting so long!
well we have a lots of things to do this month! this weekend we are going to the beach and next weekend we have a wedding and then we have another wedding the weekend after that! so we are busy busy busy! and not to mention johnnys bday is coming up on may 24th
well thats all the updates i have for now- here is a photo of lyla sitting up this weekend!
and she looked so cute in her little polo dress :) and she had some silver sandals with pink flowers on them, they were just darlin' :)

really dont have a title in mind- so just updates i guess~
well its wednesday. needless to say im ready for it to be friday. as you know lyla is now sleeping in her crib. i must say it is still taking me time to know shes not in the room with me, but with the video monitor it made it alot easier. i just dont like the fact that if she cries i have to walk across the house- but she rarely wakes up in the middle of the night. i think the crib was a good move, now i have to figure out what to do with this craddle i have in my room, oh and not to mention her swing which she is too heavy for and she doesnt really care for it anymore but it sure was a nice toy at times! so now i have the craddle and swing that needs to go somewhere. any takers?
you know, i love being a mom but i have to say mornings like this morning make me want to stay home. i love it when lyla wakes up in the mornings and i hear her in the monitor cooing and awwing and singing and what not, and when i go in there her little face just lights up with the biggest smile :) awww... i love it! and then she is just so happy and she stares at me and johnny like she has so much love but she doesnt know how to express it just yet. some part of me wants to be a stay at home mom BUT 1. the money isnt right at this moment ,and 2. i think i would go completley crazy if i had to stay home ALL THE TIME- but lyla sure does make it hard-
and so now with her bottles we are at 5.5 ounces with a 1 teaspoon of rice. i think this weekend, i might try to introduce a little bit of oatmeal in a bowl for her. i also might introduce a sippy cup just to see what she does. everytime i hold up glass when she is sitting with me she grabs it and wants to drink out of it.... so we will see how i feel later this week about introducing a cup- yes i know 5 months and 3 weeks it a little early to introduce a sippy cup, but i just read an article from some moms who starting their kids at 6 months with sippys.... so we shall see how this trial goes, that is if it happens.
ok one last thing before i go bc this way entirely too long!
mothers day is this weekend, and i get to celebrate bc i am now a mommy :) so saturday is my mommy day! whatever i want to do, we as a family are doing it! i am super excited ! my first mothers day :)
but then there is the question of what to get my mom and my MIL- ???? thats always a tough one.
ok later peeps
