George Foreman!!!!
I received this WONDERFUL grill from my mom for Christmas. I finally broke it out a couple of weeks ago. I was so excited to use it, until I saw the sticker on the top of it that read: "Please remove sticker before cooking". A wet washcloth, butter knife, calls to customer service, and a few choice words later, I finally got the sticker off. In case anyone is looking to purchase one, customer service did reassure me that no, I was not the first person to complain and they will no longer be putting stickers on their grills. Thank goodness. What Einstein thought of that???

We may have a problem when we get to high school....
This child loves to unroll toilet paper everywhere. Good thing I buy the cheap brand!Also, notice her partner in crime...
Petting Zoo
We went to the petting zoo today. She had a blast! She would NOT touch any of the animals, but she did enjoy waving at them. She ran around and it was so nice to get outside for the first time in about 6 months!

25 Random Things About Me....
Okay, I have been tagged numerous times so here goes nothing... :)
1. My daughter, Carleigh, has the same birthday as Abraham Lincoln. Pretty cool.
2. It took me 10 months to get pregnant- it seemed like a lifetime.
3. I am the queen of useless information. Need a Jeopardy question answered or need to know the name of a song? I am your girl.
4. I nap every time Carleigh does. I have to.
5. I wanted to be a veterinarian when I was little, but then realized what it involved and realized I couldn't do it.
6. I can run in stilletos.
7. I am named after my grandmother. She was named after her grandmother. The name is carried all the way from George Selden, who technically made the first automobile, but sold the patent to Henry Ford. Thanks alot Uncle George, we could have been rich!!! :)
8. I love Britney Spears. I probably lost of lot of friends with that statement.
9. I have seen more snow here in Michigan in the past month, than I have the whole 21 years I lived in Mississippi.
10. I am deathly afraid of birds. Peacocks in particular. The Detroit Zoo just lets them run free and if I see one I will run and hide from them. I am sure this is a trait I will pass on to Carleigh.
11. I voted for Ralph Nader.
12. I am the worst at holding in my feelings sometimes, just to have them explode later at something small and silly.
13. I love music. I think I may know at least a verse of every song written.
14. 3 of my grandparents passed away in the same hospital I was born in.
15. I broke my collarbone on my 5th birthday.
16. I have a sweet Yorkie that has a stuffed animal we call "Lover". I don't think I need to explain anymore of that. :)
17. I have been best friends with Natasha since we were in preschool.
18. I love Target and Walmart. I hate Kmart- it always looks dirty in there.
19. I hate the fact that I am OCD. I have to check my alarm a certain number of times, the door lock, the light switch, etc... I wish I could just leave my house and not have to do all of those things.
20. I love the Weather Channel. I am serious. I could watch it all day. Especially if there is a snow storm, hurricane, severe weather, etc happening.
21. I love Jon and Kate Plus 8. That woman amazes me.
22. I miss how my boobs were after Carleigh was born. Now I have Mommy boobies.
23. I cry everytime I hear the "Star Spangled Banner".
24. I made straight A's the WHOLE year in second grade.
25. I think I am the best dancer ever. Especially with alcohol involved. I have a feeling other people would disagree with me.

1 Year Stats and Developments
Carleigh had her one year well-baby visit on her birthday, Feb. 12th. NO- I did not make her get her shots that day, she goes back this week for those... My mom, step-dad and myself all took Carleigh out for lunch at one of our favorite places, TV Deli and Diner. I had their delicious burger and Carleigh had grilled cheese, french fries, chicken noodle soup, and for dessert she enjoyed White Chocolate and Banana Bread Pudding with Whipped Creme and Cinnamon sprinkled on top. I tell you, my girl LOVES food! She gets it honestly from her mama!
After lunch we went to the doc. Carleigh is now 21 pounds and 3 ounces and 29 inches tall. She is in the 50% range for both. She has been in the 50% since she was born. The doctor was very pleased with her accomplishments and developments. She now says mama, dada, doh (dog), kiki (kitty) bobo (baby) and topf (stop). She hears me fussing at Lucy all the time, telling her to stop barking, so she has picked that up. When Lucy starts barking, Carleigh will go over to her and put her hand up and say "Topf!". Too cute.
She started officially walking the 2nd week of January and has not stopped. No more crawling for her!
Her favorite foods are:
EVERYTHING!!!
Seriously, this child can eat! She really likes: cheese, yogurt, fishsticks, cheeseburgers, carrots, apples, pasta, grilled cheese, soups (especially broccoli and cheese), rice krispies, oranges, pineapple, oatmeal creme pies, cheese puffs, vegetable thins crackers, spaghetti-ohs, lasagna, sweet tea, root beer (shhhhh!) pancakes, muffins, anything BUT EGGS! I cannot get her to eat eggs at all. I can't blame her though, I hate eggs myself. We are off formula (Hallelujah!) and on whole milk. She has done very well with the switch.
I know I have mentioned this before, but she LOVES Minnie Mouse. And baby dolls. She recently figured out how to rock her babies in their bassinet. So cute. She tries to carry ALL of her Minnie's at the same time and gets very upset when she drops one. She also loves her books. She goes to get them and brings them to me or her daddy and then turns around so you will pick her up to sit on your lap. Her favorite is the Minnie Mouse breakfast one.
She loves to get her hair "done" every morning. She will come to the bathroom with me and wait for me to "dry" her hair and pull it up.
We have only 4 teeth still, but with 2 more top ones coming through any day now. I wish they would hurry up!
That is about it for now, I will try to get more birthday party pics up soon.... Have a great day!

Happy First Birthday Carleigh!
My dear sweet Carleigh turned one on February 12th. Oh, the emotions!!!! We had her birthday party the weekend before and she had a blast.
I cannot believe a year has gone by already. It seems like just yesterday we were coming home from the hospital. She has changed my life in so many ways, all for the better. She is an absolute joy to be around and can make me laugh after the worst of days. She has such a free spirit and is such a little lover.
Here are some pictures from her birthday party, which was, of course, Minnie Mouse themed:
