Are you kidding me??

Yesterday I was loading the girls up in the car to take Haylee to ride the carousel at Katy Mills Mall. I waved to my next door neighbor, who I see almost every other day... atleast, and he strikes up a very short conversation.

**** A conversation not to have with a woman who just had a baby ****

Me: "Hi neighbor (I won't share his name) , How are you? "

Neighbor: "Good. You give birth to baby?"

Me: "Yes, 6 weeks ago"

Neighbor: "Oh, I didn't notice"

Me: Ha Ha (courtesy laugh) I then get in my car.

Now I realize he probably meant that he just wasn't thinking about it the other 100 times he has seen me since having Madi. Not to mention I have had her in my hands those other 100 times.

He didn't notice???

About 2 weeks before delivery

I don't have a recent full length shot of myself, but I don't think I look as big as I did here and it is quite noticeable. Afterall, I have lost all of my pregnancy weight from Madi and I am working on the Haylee weight.

Pull Ups

So... we are not pushing the potty training, but we are definitely encouraging it with Haylee. We ask her frequently if she needs to go, we talk about it all of the time, we have a reward chart, we celebrate with a happy dance, we have big girl panties, and we wear pull ups sometimes when she is going through a phase when she wants to use the big girl potty.

Huggies Pull Ups

(For those who do not know)
They come in different sizes and have two different prints on them.

Obviously Huggies tried to make the princess pull ups appeal to the girls and the cars print appeal to the boys.

So, which one does my little girly, girl princess choose??

Whatever gives her the incentive to use the "big girl" potty!

She is still mommy's little princess!

Happy Valentine's Day

Travis spent the day helping his dad at the beach house. When he arrived home I had a yummy dinner ready to eat. I finally broke out the china after 4 1/2 years of marriage. We all had a good time and enjoyed spending time together. Here are a few pictures of our meal.

Our table setting!

Main Course- Linguine with Shrimp Scampi by Ina Garten (The Barefoot Contessa)

Dessert- Red Velvet Heart Cake with Cream Cheese icing. Don't you love my presentation??

One of my cricut creations! I love this machine (the Cricut).

Here is a silly video from our evening. I wanted to be sure and capture the moment! :o)

We hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day! We wouldn't trade ours for anything in the world...even with crying babies! :o)

When your toddler is super quiet...

you know she is up to something!

Yesterday evening I was in the kitchen cooking dinner, Madi was in her bouncer, and Haylee was running around playing. I noticed it was pretty quiet in the living room and called out to Haylee. Usually she will answer me, but this time there was no answer. I walked into the living room and this is what I saw...

Haylee decided she wanted to wash her hair with lotion! Travis was outside watering the yard, so he came in to finish dinner while I quickly gave Haylee a bath! What a silly girl!

Here are a few past pictures of Haylee "quietly" getting into trouble! LOL!

Hairbows...

Of course during Christmas time you have the wrapping paper out with the ribbon and bows you need for making your packages beautiful and festive.

Haylee seems to think that the bows are hairbows. She insists on choosing one in the morning to wear. She even picks one out for mommy and her puppies. Unfortunately the dogs are pretty quick at taking the bow off before I can snap the picture.

At least Haylee gets a BIG laugh out of it.
