How Old am I?

So, the last time I tried to wear bangs like this I was 17. At the time I was dating Terry, and he told me that they made me look like I was 12. At the time, that was a huge insult, and I haven't dared to wear them since. Well, I am going to turn 27 in one week, and I had an O-my-gosh-I-am-really-in-my-late-twenties freakout moment. So, I went to the Salon, and got my bangs chopped, this time hoping that they made me look 5 years yonger! Isn't it funny how things change!

Pee-rios

Rowen is eating some finger foods now. It is so cute so see him gumming a Cheerio with a big smile on his face, but something has been bugging me for a little while now. . . Why do Cheerios smell like pee? Every time I smell them, I think of pee, and every time I pee, I think of Cheerios!

Should I Jump Mommy?

First of all, let me say. . . we are so excited about the sun around here! Yay, it feels like I've been waiting for it all my life! Today, I went on a walk with Mak and Rowen. As we got close to the park, Makaylee was a little behind us and I heard her yell; "Hey, Mommy Look!" She is standing at the edge of a small puddle that is very deep in the middle. She says, "Should I jump?" In my practical mommy mind I am thinking, that she wants to see if she can jump OVER it, so I say "Yes! "
Wrong! She jumps right in the MIDDLE, and splashes water and mud everywhere! "MAKAYLEE!!" I yell,
"What Mommy? You said to jump!"
How do I argue with that?

I want to be a BABY again!

Does the title of this post sound familiar? Yes, I think I wrote something similar a few weeks ago. Well, today I was opening a "Baby Fresh Food Feeder" (it's this funny little mesh contraption you put fruits in and let the baby suck it so they don't choke.) Well, Makaylee wanted to use it, and I told her no, because it was just for babies. She asked me "Mommy, when I am a baby again, then can I use it?"
I said "Honey, you are not going to be a baby again, you are a big girl now."
"But I want to be a baby again, Please! Being a baby is so FUN!"
At this point, there was big alligator tears, followed by a total meltdown, followed by me rocking my "baby girl" in my arms, and letting her pretend to be a baby for a little while. (Followed by me holding back my own tears.)

Wouldn't it be nice in life, if we could choose when we wanted to be babies, and when we wanted to be "B'dults"? Wouldn't it be nice if I could curl up on my Mom's lap again and be the baby for just a little while longer!

Patty Cake

I walked down the stairs yesterday to find this cute scene! Terry and Makaylee playing "Patty Cake" to one of Makaylee's random, made-up songs! It made my heart melt, could they be any cuter? (Notice Rowen's little head bobbing along.)

Happy Boy!

Honestly, could a baby look any happier?

You just have to love his crazy hair! I have cut it like 4 times, and it just grows straight up! I don't know what else to do with it, except for just let it be the way it is! I'm sure it would be cute if I could put some gel in it and spike it, but Terry thinks baby hair should be "soft and fluffy!" He he he, he'd be embarassed if he knew that I admited that on this blog, but SINCE HE NEVER READS IT, I can write any thing I want. Right?

Happy Valentines Day!

So, we have kind of given up on the whole Valentines-Day-Date idea, now that we have 2 children. It is just more stressful to go out to eat than anything, unless we go to McDonalds (and that doesn't sound very romantic does it?) Well, this year we had a great idea, we got some YUMMY take-out from The Cheesecake Factory, and enjoyed a quiet evening at home! It really was fun, and it will just have to do, until the kids are a little older. Terry suprised me by making some Chocolate dipped strawberries, and a sweet home-made card. (Which he is suprisingly good at now that he works at Stampin UP!) I am so blessed to have such a sweet husband! I love you Terry!

Why Crawl?

Why crawl when you can roll!

Rowen is 7 months old!
