Trying to figure out this blog thing!

So, I am trying to figure out how everyone makes their blogs look so darn cute. Seriously....found thecutestblogontheblock.com, but the I finding out that apparently the layout matters...Anyway, I should be working either on my thesis or on the office, but am at the moment, obsessed with getting this block at least semi close to everyone elses. I am SUCH a newbie!

This weekend was awesome. We got to celebrate my Dad's 58th birthday in Montogomery on Saturday. It was such a treat to be able to have our family together. Everyone is so busy these days that it is a feat to try and get everyone together. I sometimes secretely wish that I would know what it was like to live in the "olden" days when everyone wasnt so busy. You know what I mean? Maybe like in the 50's? I am in constant struggle with myself trying to decide if I am doing what is best for my family. Yes, I love what I do, but is it at the expense of my family? I pray about this daily and am hoping for a revelation soon. I miss my girls during the day! One of my friends stated a couple of months ago how she is "trying to slow down and enjoy the moment". I am trying to live by that...I really do want to sit back, relax, and enjoy where I am in my life now. I cant help but stress about the future...Maybe this is a life lesson for me?

I am obviously just rambling..but these are the thoughts in my head. I have decided to use this blog sort of as my "journal" if you will. So, if you are bored at this point, just stop reading. :) I am surrounded by a bunch of men in my residency, so in a way, this is how I am going to vent! Ahaha!

Back to the weekend....sweet Baylor was baptized Sunday! It was a very blessed day and a wonderful celebration. Baylor did awesome! She sat through the entire service...yes, even the sermon! She even held the priest's hand during the baptism....I almost cried. She is quite possibly the SWEETEST baby in the world. Ansely did awesome as well. She also sat through the service and stood at the baptismal font like a big girl. I am amazed at how she has turned into a little girl, it seems, overnight! I am so thankful for Baylor's godparents. They are awesome and are my inspiration to be a better Christian. I know that they will be wonderful Godparents to Baylor.

Well, just received an annoying email from my chairman about my thesis...must go and make amends. Until later...toodles.

trying to slow down and enjoy the moment!

Today has been a very productive day!  Yay!  Ansley and I started out our day by heading to Gadsden to tour another preschool.  I have been in utter turmoil about having to leave South Highland CDC...we love it!  I didnt think we would ever finding a school as great as South Highland....but as usual, I was wrong.  We are so excited that Ansley is going to have a spot at Episcopal Day School in April.  Her new teacher has her MASTERS!  Momma likes that!  They have an organized curriculum...I am so impressed!  Ansley loved her visit.  She was a little shy at first, but ended up staying in what will be her new classroom while I toured the entire school.  NO tears when I left!  WOW!  By the time we left, Ans was holding hands with another girl in the class and blowing kisses to some cutie little boy in the class!  What a ham!  

After touring the school, Ans and I went by my office and picked up some paint swatches at a hardware store that is nearby.  They have finished putting the new roof on the office, so we are ready to start painting and putting in the new floor.....but first I must pick out the colors! YIKES!  I dont even know where to start with all of this, so Katy is going to help me out!  I have some WONDERFUL friends!

My website is almost complete!  HOORAY!  check it out when you get a chance  www.wilbornorthodontics.com  It is just my logo right now, but the live site should be up in a few weeks.

Sweet Baylor.  I dont even know where to start about her.  She is 6 months old now and I truly believe that she is the sweetest baby on the planet.  She is so patient and laid back.  Definitely gets the laid back part from her Daddy!  She is sitting up by herself now and has been drooling for 3 months...where is that darn tooth?  Her hair is now standing straight up.  I mean, STRAIGHT up.  So funny.  Yes, she gets that from me.  She has been sleeping through the night since she was 4 months old....ever since we took her pacy away.  Sounds harsh, I know, but she was waking up about 7 times during the night because the pacy had fallen out of her mouth.  Our pediatrician said 4 months was a great age to get rid of it because she would not remember having a pacy in about 2 days.  I felt bad about it, but man, we were TIRED.  We, I mean, I, am not the best at letting my girls "cry it out".  Dont like that.  Bay cried for about 5 minutes the first time we put her down, then woke up about 3 hours later, cried 3 minutes, then that was it.  She started sleeping through the night.  Now, this would have NEVER worked with Ansley.  She didnt sleep all the way through the night until she was 9 months old!

Brett is doing great.  He is putting up with me while I freak out about opening up my practice and is the most awesome Dad.  He has been doing all the cooking lately since I havent been getting home until after 6.  Brett is my rock.  I am so in love!

Well, I think that is definitely enough for now.  

ok, so it is obvious I am not too good with the blogging as you can tell how I am not a frequent blogger.  Margaret's blog has given me the motivation to try and do better....but man, between this and facebook, how do you keep up?!??!?!?  

Poo goes in the POTTY!!

Probably too much info for most people, but it has been a HUGE two weeks for the Wilborn household!  Ansley has mastered using the potty!!! hip hip hooray!!!!!!!  I feel like all I have talked about lately is either poo or teeth....yes, a VERY weird combo!  Here is a picture of Ansley with her "prize" for accomplishing this task!!!!  Ignore the mess you see behind her....
