I was sad this week as my Christmas break was quickly coming to an end. I took Hayden in on Thursday for her 9 month well check. This girl is growing like a weed! She is now weighing in at 19 lbs. (50%) and is 30 1/2 in. tall putting her off of the charts for her heighth. I have a feeling I'm gonna have another tall skinny girl on my hands. Hayden also finally said Dada for the first time this week. It was so cute. Chad was locked up in our room sick and Hayden would crawl over to the door and get on her knees and just keep banging on it. She was determined that she was going to see her Dada and when I finally let her peek in she got so excited. It was too sweet.
Shelby got to go to Nana's new house and spend the night for the firt time. We met half way on Saturday in the early afternoon and then Mom brought her and Drew home on Sunday evening. She stayed with the girls and Drew Monday while I was at work. Shelby had so much fun she was sad to see Drew go.

Week 40
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
We had too much fun this past week. My girls are so spoiled and loved. We started off the week by having a get together at the Locklears house where Hayden got to meet all of the Oxley girls for the first time. That was fun getting to visit and catch up with them. We then spent the night at Mimi and Popa's house and went to Great Grandma's house the next day, Christmas Eve. We stayed there and visited for a while and then later that afternoon went back to Mimi and Popa's house for the Gorman family Christmas. There was paper flying everywhere! It seemed as though all the grandkids had too much fun and Mimi went all out this year. Chad and I hung out there for a while and then headed home to our house so Shelby and I could make cookies for Santa and set out food for the reindeer. She was too precious this year and was so excited about Santa coming down her chimney. She constantly sang Rudloph the Red Nose Reindeer at the top of her lungs, so much so, I made it my ring tone on my phone. The next morning we had a blast as a family. Chad and I were up before the girls to set up the camera and then once Shelby got up we let her wake Hayden up. Shelby was SO excited to get a Dora Surprises Doll House from Santa and Hayden loved her Alphabet Train from him as well. After the girls opened up their presents they spent the rest of the day playing and playing and playing. The next day the McDaniel family came over and had lunch as well as another Christmas celebration. the girls once again got too much stuff and loved every minute of it. I loved watching them every minute of it as well. We are so very blessed.

Week 39
Hayden hit one of her biggest milestones this past week, she started crawling! As the days go on she gets better and better at it and faster an faster. She is such a cutie and I cannot believe she is mobile now. Not only does she crawl but she pulls herself up on everything she can and even walks along the coffee tables and couches as she goes along.
shelby participated in her school Christmas show this past week and sang her little heart along with all of the hand motions. We then got to go back to her class and have a little Christmas party with her friends. She then accompanied me to school and spent the rest of the day there being my shadow.
Shelby and I had some what of a rough start to the next week as we had a virus and I was up with her most of the night on Tuesday because she could not keep anything down. It seems to be going around because I have heard from multiple people that they have the same thing. I feel so bad for her when you can't do anything to make her feel better. It was not the way I wanted to spend the start of my Christmas break.

Week 38
What a fun and crazy cold week we had. On Friday Mike and Deloris came by and picked Shelby up to take her camping with them and Josh and Angie that night in Palestine. We drove up the next afternoon with Hayden and spent the cold night around the campfire. The next day the girls played around the campground and later that evening we went on "The Polar Express". It is an old train in Palestine where they played up the movie and served us cake and cookies along with hot chocolate on our way to the "North Pole". It was cute, they read the book and even did some dancing to the songs. Once we reached the "North Pole", Santa got on and gave everyone a jingle bell. Shelby was beside herself and had too much fun on the train in the 30 degree weather. Shelby rang her jungle bell from the sleigh the whole 3 hour ride home.
Week 37
Another week another post. The girls and I had to get back into our routine after being off for a week. It was not fun. Chad was off Friday though and got to spend some quality time with the girls. Then on Sunday afternoon all the Gorman Grandkids stayed with Mimi and Popa and Chad, myself, Josh, Angie, Bryan and Paola all went to see Transiberian Orchestra at the Toyota Center. It was fun to get out without any of our kids and the concert was quite an experience. We then went back to Josh and Angie's where Deloris had made us all dinner. We then got a big surprise that Bryan and Paola are expecting! We will have another Gorman niece or nephew around the 4th of July. We are so excited and happy for them.
week 36
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
We had a great couple of Thanksgivings this year. We first went to Mike and Deloris' house where we had a lovely meal of Lasagna, ham, and turkey. It was all really good, especially the lasagna since I am not much of a turkey eater. We then packed up and headed to Retti's house for the McDaniel Thanksgiving. We had dessert there which was really good and then spent the rest of the day planning my all night shopping extravaganza. We took my cousin Ana home with us, and after the girls went to bed we met my friend Melissa and sister in law Angie outside of Toys R Us. We had a good time shopping all night and got a lot of great deals for Christmas presents while Chad stayed home with the girls. I ended up crawling into bed at about 7 am after leaving at 8 the night before.
My little Hayden reached yet another milestone this week and she started clapping. It is so sweet to have us say "Yeah Hayden" and she will start clapping. You can't help but love her.

Week 35
My baby girl has a bigger reason to smile! She got her first tooth this week and then my niece, Callie, stuck her finger in to feel it and found another one a few days later. So, she now has two too cute bottom teeth.
We went to my Mom's house again this past weekend so that we could see Gran Gran before she left to go back home. We had a "Christmas Decorating Party". It really turned out after 20 minutes of Drew and Shelby decorating the tree and 3 broken glass balls later they quit and went and made cookies. It was a fun to see all the McDaniel kiddos play together. I also got out for Thanksgiving break this week. I am so grateful to have the whole week to spend with my girls.

Week 34
This was a pretty easy going and realxing week. The girls kept me going this week as always on my days off and on the days I work.
Hayden's friend Aubry loaned us her old Jeep walker this week. She has too much fun in the thing. She is all over the house in it and got the concept to make it roll where ever she want to almost right away. Her little busy wondering hands now get her into a lot more trouble because she is constantly unplugging things or pulling the laundry I fold on the table down or things off of the refrigerator down. It's a good thing she is such a cute sweet girl.

Week 33
Time continues to fly by. The girls are doing great and growing too quickly as I say all the time, where did the time go?
This past weekend we relaxed at home together after a crazy past few weeks and then went to Pasadena for the Annual South Main Baptist Church Thanksgiving luncheon. All the Gorman grand kids made it and so we got to spend lots of time together and allow Mike and Deloris to show them all off.
Hayden hit a few more milestones this week. She began rolling everywhere to get around. I think she may never crawl because she is getting so good at just rolling around everywhere. Se also started waving "bye bye" to everyone, and I think she may just be a left hander.

Week 32
HAPPY HALLOWEEN! We had so much fun this Halloween. The girls looked adorable Shelby dressed up as Jessie from "Toy Story" and played the part very well. Hayden was her trusty horse Bullseye from "Toy Story" as well.
The Friday before Halloween I met up with a friend of mine and her kids. Her son was "Woody" and her daughter was "Cinderella". We went trick or treating at a shopping center in The Woodlands and the kids got all types of good candy. We then went trick or treating again on Halloween and had a good time with all the Gorman crew plus my Mom and Gran Gran. Great fun was had by all and the kids were all on a sugar high for days.
Hayden also began to sign this past week. She has really gotten good at signing "more". She lets us kow when she wants more food which is pretty regularly since she is loving food.

Week 31
Another crazy week has come and gone and my girls are growing faster and faster each day. This past Friday my Mom picked the girls and I up after work and we traveled with her to Hobby airport to pick up Gran Gran for her month stay. Her and Hayden finally go to meet. We all then drove to College Station together that night where the girls and I spent the weekend. Kelli and I decided to go have the kiddos pictures made all together for Mom and on the way there I ended up getting in an accident in my Mom's car with the girls. I "cracked Nana's car" as Shelby says. Everyone was fine except for Mom's car and a few seatbelt burns on my chest from the impact. Believe it or not the girls were still on happy moods so we went ahead and had their pictures made. They turned out so cute. I got great christmas card pictures.
