A Daddy Kind Of Song

 While Kylie was a little fussy on her car ride to my parents I turned the radio on and tried to find a slow song that would soothe her and calm her down. I came across this song, and teared up. Yes, I know, I'm not one to be all emotional (except for when I'm preggo), and I've never really liked country songs, but when you have a little nugget crying you will do what ever it takes to make her happy. Anyways, I thought I'd share because it really brought me so many thoughts of emotions like, "I don't want her to grow up", "I AM going to miss when my little girl isn't crying in the back seat, and instead crying because some boy dumped her", "I am so happy, and in love with my little family"...etc., etc. Not only were there thoughts of my own, but what really hit me is that this song is to a Dad... which got me thinking more. I really do have the best husband a girl could ever ask for.... he is the perfect father any little girl could ask for. The whole time I was pregnant, Ryan wanted a little girl and had vivid dreams of what our family would be like. "She's going to look just like you, and those eyes are going to get me every time. This may sound crazy, but I don't mind having two sets of big eyes looking up at me to buy those purses". Kylie is definitely a daddy's girl, no doubt. I've heard him say "I love it when I pick her up out of her crib and she finally opens her little eyes and sees me and waves her arms and smiles up at me in excitement". The two just light up each others worlds when the other walks into a room (Kylie walking= Me carrying her). This is all because of a song I heard on the radio that reminded me of Ryan and his little girl. I love over-hearing him talk to her while she's crying and saying "everything will be okay, you're daddy will always be here for you". I could go on and on, but I'm actually proud of myself with this blog post. I've never been good with words, but when I do occasionally express them, I seem to amaze myself. And with all of this being said, here is the song that started it all... enjoy!

He didn't have to wake up
He'd been up all night
Layin’ there in bed listenin’
To his new born baby cry
He makes a pot of coffee
He splashes water on his face
His wife gives him a kiss and says
It's gonna be OK

It won’t be like this for long
One day we'll look back laughin’
At the week we brought her home
This phase is gonna fly by
So baby just hold on
‘Cause it won't be like this for long

Four years later ‘bout 4:30
She's crawling in their bed
And when he drops her off at preschool
She's clinging to his leg
The teacher peels her off of him
He says what can I do
She says now don't you worry
This’ll only last a week or two

It won’t be like this for long
One day soon you'll drop her off
And she won’t even know you're gone
This phase is gonna fly by
If you can just hold on
It won’t be like this for long

Some day soon she'll be a teenager
And at times he'll think she hates him
Then he'll walk her down the aisle
And he'll raise her veil
But right now she's up and cryin’
And the truth is that he don't mind
As he kisses her good night
And she says her prayers

He lays down there beside her
‘Til her eyes are finally closed
And just watchin’ her it breaks his heart
Cause he already knows

It won’t be like this for long
One day soon that little girl is gonna be
All grown up and gone
Yeah, this phase is gonna fly by
So, he's tryin’ to hold on

‘Cause it won’t be like this for long

Bring Your Grand Daughter To Work Day

Wednesday morning Kylie and I packed up and headed over to good ole' TxDOT where my mom works. I called my mom when I parked and of course she came running out wanting to hold her to take her in. While I'm trying to get the diaper bag, my purse, keys etc. I look up and Mom and Kylie are gone. "Don't worry about me, Mom, I got it". She was so excited to show off her little grand-daughter. I walk in and there they were surrounded by everyone. She smiled at every person who made a face at her. One of the guys she works with said to me "your Mom is a changed woman, she is always so happy and cheerful. She loves that baby." Was she really that miserable before? KIDDING! We had to go around to every cubicle and show everyone as I followed like a little lost puppy dog. I think I could have stayed at her desk and no one would have known the difference. It made me so happy to see how proud she was of Kylie. She's worked with all these people for 20+ years so they all know everything about us. I loved hearing stories how my mom goes around with the newest picture of Kylie each week to show everyone. She's going to have a the greatest grand-parents ever, just like Ryan and I did. Some of my greatest memories are with my grand-parents, and I can only imagine the future memories she will have with Grandma (Kylie has to pick her name) and Paw Paw (he's obviously decided).

Little Rollie Pollie Ollie

Hi there! So I've given up with making excuses to why I never blog and just decided to do it spontaneously. It makes it more fun that way. OK to the fun part...

On October 2, Miss Kylie rolled over from her back to her stomach!!! It was a very big day for us. I never thought such a little milestone would fill Ryan and I up with such joy and excitement. We clapped and cheered after she completed the roll and we got the "omg y'all are crazy" look. THEN she rolled back over from stomach to back, and the whole cheering and clapping went on again, but this time we got the "what? Like it's hard" look. She already has such a personality we just know she's going to have Mommy's goofy and sarcastic humor, and Daddy's business smart brain. So much of what she does, we can just tell what a mess she will be :) She's growing up so fast I really can't even believe just 4 months ago we were all laying in a hospital bed staring at each other with scared/excitement/loving faces. She's gone from staring at ceiling fans and sleeping all the time to cracking up and batting at toys.... AND ROLLING OVER!! Such proud parents we are.

I've tried several times to capture a video, but every time she rolls over, I am never prepared and seem to catch it when she's on her side. I'll get it soon to share though... I promise!

Can I use "I forgot my password?"

I never knew how many people actually read my blog posts until I kept hearing “hey, you need to update your blog”. Sorry guys—I forgot my password? ;)

Sense It’s been 10 years sense I have shared the excitement life of Tiffany (should be a show), I have decided to just post a few (which will turn into a lot), of pictures to get everyone up to date on my life, and Ryans, and Kylies, oh and Ozzys. Enjoy :)

Happy early Birthday to Jennyyyy and Happy 4th of Julyyyy

July 3^rd we celebrated my cousin Jenny’s birthday by having burgers, cake with m&m’s (YUM!), Amy and my mom figuring out how to open baby wipes, discussing the party favors from Jenny’s 6^th birthday party, and grandpa taking random awkward pictures of everyone. Needless to say it was a very nice evening with the family and to top it all off we hung out in their gorgeous backyard by the pool and fire. Kylie too was with us in her swing and sure loved having the wind blow through her hair. It was a perfect summer night! Happy Birthday Jenny :c)

July 4^th Ryan, Kylie and I set off to my parents’ house where my mom made kabobs on the grill for the first time, and may I add they were AMAZING. After visiting with them for a while Ryan and I went down to the bar, had a drink, and sat out on the patio in hoped to see random fireworks. Just as we were leaving and I thought I wasn’t going to see any on the fourth of July, BANG! I heard and saw bright purple and pink fireworks… great success! My night felt completed and we headed back to grandma Mel and Coolio’s to pick up Kylie. Not a very interesting 4^th, but we enjoyed it and had fun!

On a different note—Whoever can tell me how to make my pretty template, that I worked so hard to make, at the top of my blog centered so that there isn’t a big blue chunk to the right will get free ice cream from me. I tried for about 10 minutes until I thought I was going to throw my laptop down the stairs. *Breath* thanks!

 Such a glamorous baby!!!

Apparently...

I like to decorate my blog rather than writing in it. Isn't it pretty though? :)

I like to write 4-5 blogs at one time to catch up.


Stay tuned...

I had an appointment today at 11am, but I could not make it due to me feeling like I had 50 cups of coffee and some serious drugs =/ I re-scheduled for Monday (05/24)

I talked to the nurse who was the middle person between Dr. Tal and I... you know "she said, he said" back in forth instead of me directly talking with the doctor. Any-whom, that's not important... what is important is that blood pressure did not play a roll to the reason why I was feeling dizzy. Not quite sure why I felt like that, although I like to believe it's because Ryan didn't bring me my cereal fast enough ;) Only a couple more weeks of enjoying being waited on. Hey, doctor said so! The nurse (the doctor) explained some things to me, and I was to still keep an eye on my blood pressure and call if it were to rise. Thanks to my grandparents they managed to find a blood pressure taker thingy-ma-jigger that I could borrow to keep track. So far so good =)
