Commenting Challenge Day 3.

I noticed I needed to do a fancy link so I'm going to try.  I'm participating in Jenna's Journey blog commenting challenge.  So far I have one new follower.  That means of the 6 total followers I now have one that reads the blog ha!

Social media, I'm a junkie.  I use Facebook constantly to keep up with friends all over the place.  I love to use it to show off Emma's latest picture of the day. (yes, I'm out of control!) I follow a lot of pages on Facebook that I order cute outfits for E on.

I have a twitter, I use it to rant because only a few people follow me on that.  I do enjoy twitter to read silly things and I keep up with some sports things for my husband.

Instagram is my favorite.  I like having a spot where I don't have to say anything, but I can just take pictures of Emma and random things!

I'm a crazy, mad pinner.  I have a ton of pins and I actually have done a handful of them.  The recipes are my favorite and I like trying new things out to make my husband and parents try! 

The websites I go to everyday is Zulily, Totsy, Jenna's, Kelly's and my county website to check my school mail.

It's amazing the things you can catch up on in the hour Sesame Street is on!

Commenting Challenge Day Deux !

Take 2 (Blogger is not my friend today!)

My inspiration for my blog came from Jenna's Journey and Kelly's Korner.  I can't remember how I ended up on their blogs but I have followed them for over three years.  I thought maybe people out there would find my life interesting.  I'm not very good at keeping up with a blog. 

I did posts about my nephews, my miscarriages, and some of Emma's beginnings and then dropped off.  I would like to continue posting about those things for family and new friends. 

My journey with my miscarriages was so lonely, no one could relate to me and at times when people could what they had to say was not helpful at all.  I spent the 9 months of my pregnancy with Emma in a state of constant worry.  Everyday I was fearful of what could go wrong and it was hard to be excited until she arrived.  After she was born I spent even more time worrying about everything and praying that I would do things right!  So far so good!

Here's a shot of Emma in her too small bathing suit (HAAHAA) from yesterday.  My parents have had a pool since I was a little bit and I love having a place for Emma to play in the water if only for a few minutes each day.

I take 1001 pictures of this child everyday.  At least she can relive her childhood over and over through pictures! 

Third Annual Commenting Challenge Day 1

Hi, I'm Tonya.

I'm from Virginia.
 

My household consists of myself, my husband, Justin, my daughter, Emma, and Knox the dog. I am a special education teacher getting ready to start my 9th year at the middle school I attended.

I'm not a very good blogger, but I decided to give it that old college try.  Maybe it will be interesting, maybe not.

I'm a terrible blogger! My child is 17 months old and I haven't posted an update in way over a year! I will work on that, maybe!!!

I am pretty excited that I will be seeing Elton John tomorrow night!! That's right TOMORROW. We have pretty good seats! I hope so for what I paid for the ticket! :)

4 Months

Emma changes everyday. She babbles and changes octaves, loves sitting up and tries hard to pull herself to sit, but she only manages something that looks like a sit-up! She is 14 lbs and 25.5 inches long! She laughs more and more everyday.

So I'm way behind on Emma's month picture. The picture was taken on time I was not so good to post it!
Emma is wearing 6 month clothes already! At her well check 1-25 she weighed 13.6 lbs and was 25.5 inches long. She has itty bitty feet to be so big in every other way.

A few days after her well check she rolled over (see previous video) She rolled like crazy that day but hasn't in the few days since!

Emma is laughing out loud and it is extremely cute!

watch me roll! 1-27-2011
