If Your Happy And You Know It....

Smarty Pants - 13.5 months

*Points to her nose, my eyes, dolls eyes when asked "where's the dolls eyes?" etc..

*Will also bat her eyelashes when asked where her eyes are..cutest thing ever!

*Says "Jigeee" or "Hi Jigee" when she sees Lilly our cat! (It took me a while to realize what she was saying. Then all of a sudden I was like she has been trying to say Lilly all this time...how cute are you!!)

*When I am unloading or loading the dishwasher she goes and grabs her alphabet magnets from the fridge and starts putting them in the dishwasher..such a good helper!

*Starts to growl when she plays with her little Polar bear toy..so cute!

*Pats her belly when I say "belly, belly, belly"

*Flushes the toilet...haha

*Tries to put on her own shoes

*Loves to put things inside of things... including herself, loves to sit in her toy box.

*Plays with Tupperware and puts a spoon inside and pretends to stir...so smart!

*Always has to brush her own hair when I bring out the brush...such a girlie girl!

*Knows how to climb backwards off of the couch..hooray!

*Likes to sneakily lift up my shirt and point at my stomach...lovely!

*Opens her mouth and lets me floss her teeth...yet hates her teeth being brushed...go figure!

*Brings me toys when I ask her to "bring that to mommy"...so obedient!

*Knows when she is doing something naughty, looks busted when I catch her and will try to give me her innocent face...think puss in boots!

*Will steal a toy from her friend Alex and try to run away with it so fast that she trips and falls...shouldn't be laughing but we laugh so hard at this one!

*Loves the Christmas tree and stands in front of it and says "oooohh"... I never get enough of that!

There are so many things you do every day that bring me smiles and new things daily that surprise me.

Even though we are going through some rough teething days these are the things that make each day even more special and make me so happy to be your momma!

Escaping with Grampa Bob's hat...

Mommy embelished it...haha...

Doesn't want to wear Grampa Bob's hat anymore!...

How To Gain Weight

* Buy Company's Coming Cookbooks and make all the casseroles that involve potatoes, cheese, and cream sauces

* Stop drinking Diet Pepsi and switch to regular Pepsi because you read a very scary email telling you all about deadly aspartame.

*Make macaroni and cheese made with homo milk and cheese for Sophia and eat what she doesn't eat and then some.


*Avoid full length mirrors

*Become addicted to Winter White Oreos and Mint Chocolate covered Oreos...oh.my.god.so.good

*Eat when you are stressed/bored/happy or any other emotion

*Don't exercise because it is so windy and cold outside

*Drink a Slimfast in good attempts to eat less then become so hungry you eat a whole other lunch on top of it

*Wear stretchy pants all day so you don't realize your jeans no longer fit



Yup that about sums it up...and why I almost had a heart attack when I casually stepped on the scale today.

Best Friends Forever

Sophia and her best girlfriends

It's Begining To Look A Lot Like Christmas!

Last night we set up our Christmas tree!

We bought a fake tree this year... gasp, shock, horror!!

Gina will you ever forgive us?

We had lots of fun trimming the tree.

Christmas music was played and hot chocolate was drank.

Sophia was a very good little helper!

Trimming the tree....

I can't believe she sat still for this pic!...

No more pictures, I'm running away!...
