Bored With Your Marriage?
Watch this compelling commercial from Kay Jewelers about how one woman gained the courage to leave her husband after reconnecting with an old fling through Facebook.
I have heard Facebook affairs cited as the cause of many divorces these days, but I'm in shock its literally being advertised on TV. This isn't just a commercial for Jewelry. Its a commercial advocating Facebook as a tool to find a new and better life if the one you have at home just isn't doing it for you any more!
Clever. Very Clever.
The Best Day Ever by Heidi
Today I went to Legoland with Mummy and Daddy and Nana and Gigi. It was so much fun! I think it has to have been the bestest day of my whole entire life!!! I was so happy all day and didn't even feel a little bit fussy even though I didn't get to take my nap. I got to go on rides and play legos and see all sorts of cool stuff. So today I am blogging to show you my fun day. Here it is!
This is me with Nana on my first train ride.
Heres me going down my first slide. It was fun but exhausting.
When I got to the bottom I just wanted to relax!
Here is me going down an even bigger slide! Daddy and Nana were worried about me but I had it all under control. I'm a pro at slides now.
I just lay back and enjoy the ride!
Here is me playing with Legos for the first time! I'm not quite sure what to do with them yet, but I'm pretty sure I'll be a pro Lego builder one day. I really liked trying to see how they fit together.
Here I am with daddy riding the fairy tale boat ride. It was so nice and peaceful. Daddy always makes me feel safe.
Heres me and Daddy playing around on a dangerous ledge. I can always count on daddy to create fun adventures out of ordinary stuff like walking to the next ride.
Here is me laughing at Nana and Daddy. They were being soooo funny!
Here is me walking around the splash zone. It was really warm so I liked walking around and getting wet. They were tons of other children running around which I loved. One little boy was so excited he walked right over and hit me in the face! Mummy had to tell him "no hitting' cause his mummy wasn't looking after him, but I didn't even care. I thought it was funny.
Here is me in my favorite part of Legoland - the swing. The only time I felt sad all day was when mummy took me out of the swing! Ya - its that fun!
Here is me and daddy on the airplane ride. He's the bestest dad ever!
We found this statue that looked just like Daddy. I was so confused for a minute I couldn't tell which one was really my daddy and which one was just a Lego statue!
At the end of the day we decided to go see the Aquarium. It was pretty cool! Here is me and Daddy sticking our heads into the fish tank.
I was feeling kinda sleepy when I got home so mummy put me in my PJs but before I went to bed Grandma Gigi had a surprise for me! She bought me my first set of Legos! I couldn't have imagined a better way to end the day! Thanks Grandma Gigi!
After a day like that I was exhausted! I was so happy to get in my crib, drink my bottle and go to sleep. It was a perfect day!

My Hunky Race Car Driver
Saturday we went to the racetracks and Austin finally got his anniversary present!
He had a blast.
I tried taking pictures of my anniversary presents but they just don't do it justice.
You'll have to look at my wrists next time you see me.
But you might want to put on your sunglasses first.
Blingy.

13 Months
Month 13 has brought with it many changes. Heidi is rapidly changing. Here is whats new this month -
She has mastered walking and is quite content to wander around wherever we may happen to be, eagerly exploring her surroundings without so much as a glance back to see if we are watching. She has, however, seemed to develop a healthy sense of danger in other areas. After spending time in a loud bouncy house with another toddler and getting trampled on, she has developed a fear of loud noises, bouncy houses and being in enclosed quarters with other kids. When I turn the vacuum on she runs as fast as she can in the other direction and then starts to cry. When I stick her in the crib with another toddler she starts to cry and holds out her hands to be lifted out. The only way I can get her to go in the bouncy house is by throwing fruit snacks in it but as soon as she has consumed them all she is headed towards the exit with a fearful expression. I'm hoping she will grow out of this. She was so fearless before so this behavior comes as a surprise. Heidi is becoming very vocal in her protests. One new thing she is protesting this month is the carseat. Sometimes if I sing to her while putting her in she will keep quiet but I am not always so fortunate.
This month I am trying to teach her to follow directions. This involves frequent sometimes tearful readjustments, as she easily gets her feelings hurt, but we are having great results. She is starting to listen to me when I tell her to "stay here" or when I tell her that something is off limits ("no no"). Being able to communicate with her and have her follow directions is/will be a huge relief. It is so much easier to verbally command their attention and stop a dangerous behavior than it is to constantly be chasing a toddler without any verbal communication.
Heidi ♥s:
Your Baby Can Read and Sesame Street - Whenever they come on the TV she gets the hugest smile and kicks her little feet
Avocados, Blueberries, Dino Bites, Pureed fruits in To-Go packages, Lollipops
Receiving Kisses - She doesn't give them as much as she receives them, but she will lean in and offer her forehead whenever she hears the beginning of a kiss coming on
Dogs - Before I even notice a dog she will start excitedly yelling "puppy" as soon as she sees one
Looking at herself and me in the mirror when I am driving - she gets the biggest smile and giggles like crazy
Her grandmas - always greeted with smiles and giggling
Sweet Talking Ken and all Barbies
Crawling on dangerous things
Getting into dirty diapers when Mommy isn't looking
