six month sister

Mommy promised to update you more often here on the blog but it seems that she doesn't have as much time as she thought. While she's busy, I'll tell you a little bit about what I've been up to:

Play time in mommy's shades...

hypnotizing people with my amazing baby blues...

and getting my six-month pictures taken with Lammy...

I'm also eating a lot more food now. I can't believe Mommy was holding out on me! Who knew the veritable cornucopia of nourishment that awaited me outside of the breastaurant?!?!?! Sweet Potatoes, Butternut Squash, Carrots, Bananas, Applesauce, Pears, Peas, and Green Beans have been my latest delicacies. I'm not too crazy about the veggies, especially if I am eating fruit at the same meal, but Mommy says I am a good eater.

I am totally in love with my Daddy and give him big smiles whenever he comes near me. And that redheaded kid is pretty cool too. He plays with me a lot and usually treats me good...usually. I've also noticed that there's this funny furry creature that lives at our house too. I love it when he licks my hands, that makes me laugh out loud.

I'll tell Mommy to get her stuff together and write more often. She did mention something about having writer's block or something like that but I don't know what that means. And I'll try to take better naps so that she'll have time to blog and check her facebook thing too.

See you around!

my, my...

Mr. Baseball and I have discovered that having a 3 year old is nothing like having a 2 year old. In fact, its much worse. I believe our thoughts during the Redhead's "twos" were..." Wow, we must be doing something right with our parenting, we have such a well behaved child."

Uh-huh. Then he turned three. (*sigh*) Lord, please forgive me for thinking I was any kind of a perfect parent.

God has such a sense of humor.

While three is a difficult age, its also a fun age. He does tend to redeem himself by saying the funniest things. For example...

* (while sitting at the lunch table the other day) "My, My, what a big bottom you have." - when asked where he heard this, he proceeded to say that he heard it from me. I.don't.think.so.

* "Mommy, where is YOUR penis?" (after seeing me getting out of the shower).

* (after watching the popping of the world's biggest zit on youtube) "I'm going to do that with the bump when I grow up." Just don't ask.

* When snuggling in the bed the other morning, Mr. Baseball and I kissed his cheeks at the same time and made a "Redhead sandwich" and the next words out of his mouth were..."Aw, Shucks..." I laughed soooo hard. He has great comedic timin

Despite the challenges, he's such a great kid and we love him to pieces!

will i stage a comeback? that's tbd

Now that life has somewhat calmed down (we moved a month ago), I'm thinking of staging a comeback to blogging. We've gone wireless at our house so I can now sit anywhere and blog - in front of the tube, in Anna Griffin's or Wesley's room, on the potty - anywhere! I'm experiencing a new level of technical freedom. As soon as I figure out how to download pictures, I'll put some new ones of the kids on here, as well as our house which we are updating (every room but 3 had old wallpaper). I can't promise I'll blog everyday - it may just be once a week - but I have had this urge to jump back into the blogosphere. So....here we go!

turning, turning, turning through the weeks...

Its been a loooooong time since my last post and I have some really good excuses. Wanna see them?

Life is never dull here. The Redhead is enjoying preschool and is busier than ever. Whoever said the two's are terrible obviously never had a three year old. He's fun, just slightly manipulative and defiant at times. I came close to selling him once but then thought better of it.

Little Sister is doing fabulously. She turned 3 months old on Thursday the 21st. Hard to imagine that much time has already gone by. She's sleeping anywhere from 8-11 hours at night and had her first chuckle with me a few nights ago. She is very happy and laid-back and loves watching her brother.

3 months old (1/21/10)

An exciting update about our house - In mid-December we got a full price offer on our little home. We quickly accepted and set off looking for another, larger place to settle down. We found this great place...




Its got the space we need (almost 2000sq/ft, 3BR, 2.5BA, LR, DR, Den, and sunroom), is in a GREAT neighborhood, and was a heck of a deal. It will be our continuous "project home" for years to come. Literally, once you step through the front door, you are transported back somewhere between 1970 and 1980 - quite confusing. It'll be fun though.
