new beginings

Well it has been a little bit since the last time I posted up here.
Just a quick update, I am starting a new diet routine, body by vi, hopefully tomorrow, I hope it will bring more energy and weight loss. I need to get this baby weight off.
And Johnny and I just joined a volleyball team :) so that should be exciting.

As for Lyla, she is just growing like a weed! Talking up a storm. She almost is never quiet :) But I love it! She repeats EVERYTHING! so we have to be real careful with what we say.

She has an appointment Wednesday. Which means more shots :( But I'm anxious to see how much she has grown! she is getting soooo big.

Everyday that goes by, I am so amazed that that beautiful little girl is mine and johnnys! She amazes me. A baby is an amazing thing. and to think of all the life she has a ahead of her. Going to school, and learning all the new things. It amazes to think that I once was a baby just like her. If only it was simple enough in life to have the mind like a child.....

well this is short. but i gotta go!

and now the adventures of potty training!......

Let me first start by saying that I been really wanting to blog for a while but just have not had the time. So maybe now I can get back to blogging more often.

This is weekend was so great! My sister came into town Friday and we hung out until that night. On Saturday the whole family went to Rocky Mount to the kids musuem! It was so fun! There was a show in the plantarium with Big Bird and Elmo! Lyla really really loved that! She loves elmo! It was such a neat show! They talked about the moon, sun and the stars. We then went upstairs to the kids muesum and had a blast! (pictures are up on facebook) That is such an interesting place! There was so much for the kids to do! We then left there and went to the mall, you know us girls cant go anywhere without finding a mall :) Then we went home and ate pizza, well that was after we lost my sister and nephew and couldnt find them for hours..... everyone left their phones in the car.. but after that disaster, all was great!
On sunday we to church, and since it was ugly and rainy and cold outside we just hung out at home until it was time for the sister in laws birthday party.
So on Monday, I had the day off and lyla and I went to have lunch with johnny and went to Wal Mart and purchased her a potty.
Yes its time for potty training. She has told me several times now when she is about to go to the bathroom, so I thinks time.
So now she has pee pee'd one time in it!!!!!
she is only 15 months old. My 15 month old baby, we is now beging to speak in small sentences with words that everyone can understand, is now using a potty! I am sure i might be over reacting a little bit, but this is a big deal!
I am hoping by the time she is two we can start to wear big girl panties. We will see. This might be a challenge, but I am up for it!

The days of watching her grow up are going by so so fast. I wish I could take all these memores and lock them in a box and go back and look at them in years to come. I already do that with pictures, but the memories in my head are so much better!

However, there is usually always a however, as I was calling and texting people last night and this morning about lyla's new adventure, it hit me like a ton of bricks that I still couldnt call my dad. And i keep brining this up, but I dont like it at all. I just want to able to call both my parents and share all the new wonders with them about their granddaughter. And while I know he has seen and heard everything, its still not the same as me hearing the excitment in his voice when all these things happen. It sucks. It really sucks. And I show lyla a picture of him and she doesnt even know who he is. It breaks my heart into a million pieces. I tell her who it is, but she doesnt understand.

With all the being said, I am thankful for all the support and love from family and friends, and without them, life would not be complete.
my little space goer :)
