The Haney Life: January 2012

Since I have the goal to blog more this year, I thought it might be fun to do Project 366. In case you're not familiar with that, it's basically a goal to take a picture everyday for a year. Some people do really cute scrapbooks with their pictures, but let's be honest-- I absolutely do not have the time or the energy to do that. I made a scrapbook one time and that was for Tyler. It took me approximately 6 years, so that would mean I would be done with Project 366 sometime in 2018. That's why I have a blog; I can do this all here.

I will be honest; there is a very real chance I won't keep up with this on the blog, but I sure will try. There is a handy app on my iPhone that I'm using to keep these organized, but I know that no one will see those but me. This will be a fun way for the grandparents to see pictures of Griffin since he's the subject of 90% of these pictures. I also know that the grand majority of these pictures will be from my iPhone, but as a mommy, it's definitely the most handy camera I have!

So, here is my first week. Enjoy!

January 1

We went to buy Griffin a new high chair and browsed some big boy carseats. He liked them!

January 2

Griffin's Aunt Meredith knitted him the sweetest little hat for Christmas. I love how it can't contain his wild hair! It is so soft-- he just loves it!

January 3

He found a fun new place to play! He loves that he can roll his ball around as fast as he can and it won't go anywhere. He's a smart guy!

January 4

He fell asleep completely folded in half. One minute he was sitting up, the next he was fast asleep while bent over. It didn't look very comfortable. We both laughed at this really hard.

January 5

Tyler absolutely hates it when I put Griffin's hair in a ponytail. HATES it. I just think it's hilarious. He really does need a haircut, but this is just too funny in the meantime. This picture cracks me up! I think he kind of looks like a cartoon character.

January 6

Sweet boy loves sitting in his new high chair! He loves the big tray and he will sit and play for a long time if I'm working in the kitchen.

January 7

We finally put the Christmas decorations away today. We were out of town for a long time and we wanted to enjoy them for a bit longer. This was one of my favorite ornaments on our tree!

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday

This sweet boy let me rock him to sleep last night. I found myself unable to get up and we rocked and rocked for nearly an hour. It was the best part of my day. I love being a momma!

I'm Here!

I've said it before and I'll say it again-- I'm going to start blogging more.

Ha! I know you're thinking, "Yeah, right. She's crazy." Maybe I am. Well, I am definitely. But I'm making it a priority this year. We're having too much fun to not document it for the future.

I really haven't had a good way to blog lately. We only have one computer and Ty uses it for work. However, thanks to Tyler's big business win, I now have an iPad of my very own now. I'm so proud of him and I'm very thankful! What a good man. Please bear with me as I try to figure out this blogging thing from the iPad. I'm using an app I think I like (Blogsy), but if any of y'all have suggestions, I'd love to hear them!

I've got a lot of stuff brewing in my head. I'm guessing that basically none of it will be important to anyone besides me and maybe Tyler, although, when I have a thought, I generally share it with him no matter what, so I'm thinking that most things I write about won't be a complete surprise tI have to write Griffin's 9 and 10 month posts. I have pictures, but no posts. I can't believe he's 10 months. Didn't I just have him yesterday? I have a little bit of baby fever, but not enough to where I want to be puking for 20 weeks and then pushing out a giant baby again. No sir. I'm good for awhile.

So, yes, I do indeed promise that I will be back soon. I love the friends I've made from the blogging and Twitter community and I don't want to let the blog slide just because I ~~am obsessed~~ like Twitter a little bit.

And in other news? This guy is still darling. But I'm sure none of you are surprised by that.
