She's almost one

and I have no idea what to buy her for a birthday present.

Josh and I took a trip to Toys R' Us the other day to try to get inspired and I still have no idea what to get her. I don't want to get her something she's going to play with a little and toss to the side. I want it to be something she can play with for a long time. I also want it to be something that is stimulating and somewhat educational. Some of her favorite things are cats, books, playing catch, and music.

If anyone has any suggestions please let me know!! I only have two weeks left!

Also you may have noticed that all my photos are taken from the same spot lately. Due to my broken foot I've been taking most of my photos while sitting in my living room chair. Hopefully next week I will be able to walk without crutches which means I may be able to be a bit more mobile. I still have about 5 more weeks in the boot and then the real photo fun can start back up. I can not wait to get out doors and start taking some real photos!

For now I'm just going to make Piper stand at the coffee table and utilize the great light in my living room.

Hope you are all having a happy Thursday:)

My New Footwear

Yesterday afternoon while Piper was napping and Josh was shoveling the driveway I decided to break my fifth metatarsal.

Both Josh and I thought it was just a sprain, but as my foot swelled, the pain seemed to be in one small spot, and I had a hard time bearing weight on my entire foot we realized it might be a little more serious. We went to urgent care tonight and sure enough I snapped my bone right in half. The doctor wasn't sure how I managed to even walk in the door of the clinic. I have to meet with an orthopedic surgeon tomorrow to find out if I need surgery.

In other news I also get to meet with an oral surgeon tomorrow to find out about getting some oral surgery done. I had some dental problems while pregnant with Piper and have been putting off surgery until I was done nursing. With Piper starting to wean it's become time for me to start taking care of myself.

Talk about a double whammy :/
