Things You Never Thought You'd Say...

In my short 16 months of mommyhood, I've said a few things that I never in my life thought I'd say. Not stuff that makes me sound just like my mom, but, stuff that is just so bizarre and funny that I never would have imagined I'd say. Last night, we took Sweet Pea to a friends house to watch the Super Bowl and let the kids play. There were tons of kids there and Sweet Pea had a blast! But, during all the fun, I heard one mommy saying, "Christian, we DO NOT throw boats down the stairs"! I just thought that was so funny! Of course, at the time, it made sense, because we all heard a big crash and then silence, which is never good when there are so many kids running around. And, he did, in fact throw a boat down the stairs.

Some of the things we've said around here that really make me shake my head are, "We don't chew on our toes", or, "We don't bite the penguin" or, most recently, "Where did she go with that crayon"?



What are some of the things you've said that you never thought you'd say as a parent???

A Fairy Princess Magic Wand

Sweet Pea is on this kick lately where she sniffs EVERYTHING! She even tried to sniff the lamp at Nana's house last night! I thought she might have fun with a Fairy Princess Wand so I made her one last night and was sure to put a flower on it so she could sniff till her little heart's content! I even put a little bell inside so it would jingle just a little bit when she plays with it! What do you think?

Christmas 2009 in Pictures!

We had such a wonderful holiday! Sweet Pea had so much fun opening presents! We are blessed to have so many people who love us to share our holiday time with. We are truly thankful for all the thoughtful gifts we received, I hope Sweet Pea will have as wonderful memories of Christmas as I do from my childhood!

Wearing some new jammies from St. Nick (daddy has big shoes to fill!):


My sweet baby with her baby! I am amazed that she knew what to do with the baby! She put it in the stroller, took it for a walk, gave it a binky and bottle...Amazing!


This one is just for fun, she just loves bath time!!!

St. Nick Came Early!

Boy, what a busy past few days! With all the baking, wrapping, Christmas card sending, and last minute shopping, I haven't had time to even think! So, imagine my surprise last night when I came home with my arms full of Sweet Pea and all her gear to find a huge box from Fed Ex at our door! Looks like Sweet Pea's new friend wanted to send her some Christmas cheer!

Thank you, and Merry Christmas to all!!!

Hey Santa!

This weekend we took Sweet Pea to get her picture taken with Santa. There was a HUGE line that took about an hour to get through. She did great, up until about 10 minutes before her turn, when she bumped her head :( That made her pretty unhappy, and then getting sat on Santa's lap wasn't really what she wanted at the moment. Needless to say, it was an adventure!
