Nona and Omaha Peeps, I cannot wait to see you!

Yo Nona, I cannot wait to manipulate you like I have been manipulating my parents.
Dear God, please make sure this toy was not made in China. If it was, please make sure the lead is minimal. AMEN

Dude, I crawl now... What can you say for yourself?




Snow? Not really but kind of!

So, it kind of snowed on Sunday.... Not really though. We decided to bring Nora outside to check it out... Well, it is nothing like the snow storm we got the weekend my water broke or the following weekend when Nora arrived.
I love my daddy! I think he should have a hat and jacket on too. Hula Girl loves to get wet!
Why is the ball on my hat white? It is purple in real life!

My parents and me... What happened to us? We are usually OK looking people. The only one who looks semi good is me, Nora.
Oh hey, Aunt Lissie. Did you get smoked in Fantasy Football or what? Vick's B is going down!

Size photos from 7 weeks--compare them to the pics below...



Size photos? Yeah, right! I crawl now...

I attempted to take Nora's 37 week (yes, she is older than the weeks she was in me. She came to see us at 35 weeks) size photos this weekend. Now that she is a big girl who crawls, it didn't go so well!

Lay me on my back and I flip right on over to go cruisin'. No time for this business.
See ya
OK, I will stay still for a second. I like to lay on my side and pose. I am sexy in my diaper! How does that song go? I'm too sexy for my diaper, too sexy for my diaper...
Enough!

Dad, I am not sure the crib is sturdy enough....Good luck, Mom! I am not laying next to this frog for more than 1o seconds.
OK, 2 pictures and that is it!
Froggy, I own you, dude. You ruled me at one point, now I rule you. I could eat you.
I hear frog legs are a delicious... YUMMMMMM

Naughty froggy
I am outta here. See ya later. Try and get me under my crib.
Yo pillow, what's up? I am gonna get you like it or not!
Ha got you!
Pillow, you are boring, I am outta here.




HMMMM Now what should I get in to?

I love being under my crib. I learned a lot during tornado awareness week.
















Hula Girl makes the Blog! YEAH!

Hula Girl and Chloe feel that they are getting slighted.... I admit they do not get as much attention as they did last year at this time but they are still loved dearly.

The girls snuggling in bed together.
Chloe, thank you for not humping me like usual.
I love snoogle. My mom used this pillow when she was pregnant with Nora. Now we use it to protect Nora from the wrought iron table.... I like to use it as my pillow. It is really comfortable.
HG's face is worth a million dollars.

Don't take my bone, please!

Chloe is my pal...

I (Leah) was out of town this past weekend in Savannah, GA for a conference. Prior to my departure, Nora was "ready" to crawl. Wouldn't you know it, I missed her first hand and leg moves together.... Nora is not fully crawling (Pete says she is 80%) but she sure can get herself around quickly and efficiently. I missed my little sweet pea very much while I was away. She and her daddy had some great bonding time. Now both of them have colds though....

Chloe, look at your nails. They need to be cut. You are going to scratch someone badly. I hope you don't get a hang nail.
Chloe, let's crawl to the ball.
You don't want to? Come on, get up.
I am going to fight you until you get up. Come on.
I scared Chloe so I am solo now... Look at my form.

Chloe always knows where the food is....

Sweet... More cheerios! I was getting ready to leave (see my keys on the tray) and my daddy gave me cheerios so I stayed home...
These things are delicious...
Chloe, what do you smell? I don't have a poop in my pants...
Oh, I see what you smell. The cheerios. Don't tell Dad, but I will give you some...
Chloe, sit. Shake. Sit.
One for me, one for you.
OK, you have had enough. Go lay down.


HMM Chloe is laying down now. Now, I don't have to share.

HMMMMM HMMMM good....
