Holy Crap!

I can't believe that Presley is almost 10 months old! It still feels like we just brought her home. She's getting so big & more beautiful with each day. She's taking her first steps now & starting to mimic everything that we do. It never gets old. She's constantly making me laugh & when I start to laugh, she starts to laugh... which makes me laugh even more. I can't believe we've been blessed with such a wonderful little girl!

Presley's birthday is less than 3 months away. I'm not entirely sure what we are going to do. We were going to try to go home for her 1st birthday since Emma's birthday is just two days earlier. We were going to have a doubt Hello Kitty birthday bash! Haha. That is an unrealistic goal now. I am the only one who has a passport & it isn't valid unless we are moving on military orders. Not to mention, we blew our tax return on stuff we needed/wanted around the house. So, I'm trying to find these in Guam to do. We don't have a lot of friends so it will probably be just the three of us. Jamie thinks that we don't need to invite a bunch of people who don't like just so she can have people at her birthday party.

One thing I have decided on is going to Underwater World! We have been wanting to go since we moved to Guam but haven't seemed to make time for it! What better time than Peeps 1st birthday!? She's starting to pay more attention to the birds, geckos & trees. Before they weren't that interesting unless they were moving. But Underwater World seems wonderful! Plus, we are going to Sam Choy's for lunch. Well, or Fridays. She greatly enjoys the atmosphere at Fridays. I know that she'll love Underwater World.

Also, I plan to talk Jamie into buying me some sea turtle jewelry from Artistica. They sell it in the gift shop... I am so looking forward to going. Sea turtles are my most favorite sea animal.

I hope to make Peeps' 1st birthday amazing! Even if she won't be with anyone but us. After all, who loves her more than her parents?


Aside from planning her first birthday, we haven't really done much. Like I said earlier, we blew our money on stuff we needed/wanted around the house. Like, a CAL king sized bed... haha. Presley does sleep with us and we needed more room. Presley has more teeth coming in. She currently has her bottom central incisors in completely & her top central incisors in cutting through. On top of that, she has her lateral incisors coming in. Poor thing. She's been really good except at night. She gets really clingy & won't stop crying for anything. I hate seeing her in pain.

We also found someone to buy the Element. I love my car but it sucks for families. Presley's carseat did not fit properly in the backseat. It would slide all the way into the sit making Presley lean really far back. It was crazy. Jamie would have to reinstall the carseat every time we got back in the car. So, we bought a new one. It seems to be working A LOT better. It fits PERFECTLY in the car like it should. I'm just ready to have a four door car again. The way the Element is, there aren't back doors. Well, REAL backdoors. In order to get her out of the carseat without hitting her head on the ceiling, we have to CLIMB in the backseat. This is also the same with getting her IN the seat. Needless to say, one of us ALWAYS sits in the backseat with her. It makes things easier when you don't have to climb in and out. So Jamie's getting his Cadillac. It's a 2000 Cadillac DeVille to be precise. The Element was mine and now he gets his car of choice. I don't care because we are going to have a four door car! HOORAY! Sadly, the people who are buying the Element also have a baby the EXACT same age as Presley. She was born a week AFTER Pres. I know that the wife has her own car so maybe they won't be putting their daughter into the Element. But Jamie did say that they already have their daughter front facing. Um, hello? Isn't the rule 20 pounds AND one year? I know their daughter is already 20 pounds because Peeps is also & they appear to be the same size!! Haha. I told Jamie that I would rather Pres be safe & rear facing than have it easier on me & turn her to front facing. That baby means the world to me & I'm not going to let anything happen to her.
