It's about time!!!

Well, I certainly don't pretend that I can do everything because that would be false advertising and I was a marketing major afterall so I know that would be BAD! I've learned that with all of the roles I try to fulfill that I can successfully be good at two of them at one time and the others take the backburner. I can be a good mom/wife and a good employee but then I'm a bad housewife. Which would explain why the laundry is on the brink of overflowing out of the hamper, the laundry that has been done over the last month is piled high on the bed in the extra bedroom waiting to be folded, and all of Sheridan's clothes that are too small are also in several piles in the extra bedroom. And when I try to catch up on those chores in my spare time, that takes away from my scrapbooking and blogging time! :( But atlas, here is a new post for all of my blogging buddies. This is a picture from Sheridan's last portrait session. I tried really hard to stay on track for having her pictures done at the typical 3, 6, 9 and 12 month stages and you would think since I work for a photographer that wouldn't have been a problem. Turns out that we are just too busy taking everyone else's pictures that we fall behind on our own! Here is a picture from Sheridan's 16 month photo session...I was only 4 months behind on her 12 month pictures!

And her first word is......Uh-oh

The moment we have all been waiting for.....Sheridan's first word.....came on Sunday night. We were eating dinner at my parent's house and Sheridan was playing in the kitchen next to the table where we were eating. She picked up a toy, purposely threw it and said "uh-oh" and she continued doing this several times! It was so cute!! I always wondered what her first word would be and I really thought it would be "dog" since she absolutely loves our dogs and is so inthralled with them.

As of last night, she's turned her sweet little first word into a game with mom and dad. We are just trying to encourage her to keep talking so when she picks up a toy (mind you, it's not a BIG toy by any means....just a little link that connects into another link) and throws it, Cameron and I say "uh-oh." Well this just CRACKS her up and she thinks it is hysterical and starts laughing. I cannot tell you how many times in a row this sequence took place but she thought it was great! Cameron and I were dying laughing because Sheridan's laugh is the cutest thing ever and is definitely contagious! I'll try to figure out how I can video this little game and post it on the blog so you all can enjoy it too.....
