Big sister.

Oh my little girl. What a diva she has become. I've said it time and again but she's sweet as sugar one minute and a defiant, independent two year old the next.  But, I'll say she has been the absolute BEST big sister so far. She adores her baby brothers and wants to kiss and hold them constantly. She hasn't gotten jealous of them once and always tries to help soothe them if they are crying.  She hugs on them all the time ( so much I have to remind her we DON'T do that when they are sleeping!) and helps hold their pacis in if they are fussing. She has yet to pitch a fit or get mad if I'm feeding them and can't help her or play with her right that second. She truly has amazed me at how well she's adjusted to her new role as a big sister. 

Her new role as a 2.5 year old toddler (almost) ..... No surprise there, she's living up to the toddler potion!! Seriosuly. There are so many times a day I just want to smother her in kisses... And then others when it takes all my patience not to boot her hiney out the door! Some days there are too many time outs or spankings (yes, we believe in those... As does my pediatrician. Not talking about anything crazy just a little pop on the hiney.) and it makes me sad and frustrated. But when she doesn't listen over and over and over or throws something/hits I have to take action. I pray it's just a toddler phase .... Lordy mercy it can be exhausting!! 

Phrases she says right now that I adore: 

"I not ready go night night yet"

Okaaaaay momma

What you doodin 

I tiss gam and Thomas

One more tiss (kiss)

I can't believe she'll be 2.5 in August... Makes me so sad. She just watched frozen for the first time and just like every other little kid in America, she's obsessed. Hearing her sing "let it go@ is the cutest thing ever.   She loves playing dress up and with her baby dolls best. Favorite "tartoons" are Sophia, Dora and Mickey Mouse. Potty training boot camp is coming soon... Our pediatrician warned us to wait till after the boys were born to potty train for fear she'd regress... But it's time soon! Three sets of diapers is NO BUENO. She is awesome at riding her tricycle... And loves it. She is swimming like a fish with her puddle jumper and enjoyed her first "camo" at the beginning of the month at church. Gave her a taste of what preschool will be like come fall and I think she will love it. 

Okay.... That's enough for now:-)  Just wanted to document my girl too.  And with pictures of course...

    It is so sad that they are growing entirely too fast, yet so true that these toddler 'tudes are for real. I saw Haven this past weekend and we were both talking about how some days these two year olds make us absolutely crazy. Glad we are all not alone. (and prayers that age three isn't as bad as they say it is... HA!)

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

Takeover Tuesday

Surprise Caro, guess who hacked into your blog! I know what you are saying to yourself...I can’t believe it’s taken this long for me to mess with you on here. For those of you who haven’t figured it out yet, this obviously is not your sweet Caroline, this is her wonderful, sarcastic, fun loving, baby daddy (or is it babies’ daddy now?), also known as her husband. (Caro at her finest, throwing me a great 25th birthday celebration) Where do I begin…. I guess we can talk about how this marital bliss came to be before we talk about the author of this blog and how amazing she. Caroline has been the love of my life for as long as I can remember, we were actually first grade boyfriend and girlfriend if you can believe it. After first grade, there was the great divide, as both of us went to different schools the following year. Finally, after 10 agonizing, lonely years we were reunited at a house party our senior year in high school. I, naturally, had always kept an eye on her throughou...

25 weeks....yesterday!

Holy moly!!!! Baby Girl is doing some maaaayjah GROWING:) How far along? 25 weeks. Size of the baby? 13.5 inches and a pound and a half, grow baby girl, grow! Also known as an “average rutabaga”…um, okay. I’ll take Baby Center’s word for it. Maternity Clothes? Same as last week. My wardrobe is shrinking! I have bought several maternity tops, but most of them still look way too big. Still haven’t made the transition to maternity pants even though the bella band aggravates me sometimes. It’s the worst with my work pants, it constantly rolls down. I need to just suck it up and make the switch. Stretch Marks? None have appeared yet, still using the Palmer’s and Bio Oil a few times a week. Movement? Same. It’s so crazy how hard my belly gets at night, it is like she is all knotted up in one place. And the BELLY gets insanely BIG at night! Sleep? Eh…it’s been okay lately. I toss and turn a bunch. Food Cravings? Nothing crazy yet. I have been eating lots of peanu...
