Oh, Bailey!

So last night Bailey spent the night at my dads house. We went over there at about 11:00pm to pick up Addison, Bailey had fallen asleep on the couch. We gave her a kiss, got the diaper bag, and headed home. After we left my dad picked up Bailey and brought her into the spare room where he had set up the little air mattress. About 3 or 4 in the morning he went in to check on her, she was fine, still asleep and laying on the bed.

Then about 7 am he went in to check on her, and she wasn't on the bed or in the spare room. As any parent or grandparent would, I'm sure he panicked. So he walked around the upper floor looking for her, and she was back on the couch where she had fallen asleep. Now, keep in mind the she is only 2, and the only light that was on was the light in her room and the light below the microwave in the kitchen. So sometime between 4 and 7 she woke up, carried both blankets back to the couch, climbed up and went back to sleep in the exact same spot that she fell asleep in earlier that night.

I've was laughing pretty hard when my dad told me that story!

Earth Hour!!

I know I'm going to participate!! What about you??

Remember When...

remember when...

this could be interesting...

1.) As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember.

2.) Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

Well, I think it's offical...

For about the last two weeks Bailey has stopped taking naps during the day.... No more one or two hours of "mommy time" during the day anymore :(

Ant

I know I write about my kids a lot, and I'm sorry if that bothers some people. But this story is funny lol!

Tonight as I was getting Addison ready for bed, Bailey was in the kitchen sitting on the floor talking, so I went into the kitchen to see what she was doing. She was on all fours with her face about 3 inches away from the floor, so I sat down next to her and saw that there was a very small black ant crawling around the floor. She was calling it a person till I corrected her, then she would point at it and say "ant, ant." then she would hold her hand out and lay it out flat on the floor trying to pick it up, but in reality just smooshing it.

Then she got up and got her snack and her drink, came back and started laying her lil crunchies on the floor by the ant saying "eat". Then she would tilt her cup on its side trying to give the ant a drink. At one point the ant climed onto one of her crunchies and it bothered her so she tried to get it off, and ended up wiping it on her pants. After that I couldn't find the ant, so I think the crunchie smoosh did him in. Poor little ant lol.

She is such a funny girl. I love it! She is growing up so fast it makes me a little sad from time to time. She is actually sleeping in a "big girl" bed for the first time tonight. It took about two hours to get her to finally go to sleep though. :-)


(You can see in the picture her snacks all over the floor and her holding a crunchie and trying to feed the ant)

Salt...salty?

Completely random, and I don't know what made me think of this, but,
how do you describe the taste of salt without using the word salt or salty?

Oh my, my kids are so freaking funny!!!

After we got both kids ready for bed we were all laying down on my bed. Bailey was just being a goober and bouncing and playing, then Addison started to get a little fussy. So she let out a pretty loud scream, then bailey copied her. And they just went back and forth taking turns screaming. It was the funniest thing I have ever seen them do together!

Crappy camera, but cute pictures!

I know my camera phone sucks, but I still think these pictures are cute!!!

I love this goober face!

She is such a funny child.

It is so weird how different siblings can be. For instance, when bailey was a baby, she LOOOVED to be in her swing or her bouncy chair, she loved to be talked to and played with. If I had to lay her down for a minute, or put her in her swing so I could do some dishes or something, she would be fine.

But Addison HAAATES her swing, her bouncy chair, and being left alone. It's almost funny. I can put her in her swing and she will be fine as long as I am talking to her and smiling. But the second I turn my head she screams. If your not right in her face, talking and playing, and smiling, then she isn't happy.

Now things that bailey didn't like, bailey HATED to be swaddled. She would freak out if her arms weren't free. So we never swaddled her. Addison on the other hand, has to be swaddled. It is the only way to get her to go to sleep because she moves her arms so much it keeps her awake.

One similarity with them is they both had to be on sensitive formula because they have such sensitive stomachs, and would get horrible gas. And they both LOVE LOVE LOVE their binkis!

I love being a mom, it's such a blast. I can't wait to see how different our next child will be. :)

Awww Bailey...

Oh I've forgotten how little she was. She was (and is) so cute!! I miss her being that small sometimes. Having kids is amazing! I love it. Can't (but can) wait to have more!
