Sweet Addictions

Lets confess... we all have some serious food addictions  It's one thing or another... so here a bunnchh of mine:

HAHAHA! Okay.. I think I'm done reminiscing on my favorite things... now I just need to indulge only once a day, lol!! My advice is to never ever deprive yourself of the good stuff.. just try not to over indulge (Well.. I can't lie... I seriousllllyyy over do it with the chocolate.) Always give yourself the treat you deserve!! Take a little time in the day and really enjoy something you love. Maybe it's just a cup of coffee in the morning or maybe it's your favorite dessert, but just close your eyes for a second and enjoy : ) Don't forget!

Hugs and a huge sweet tooth..

Pumpkin patches and the best of catches

It was pumpkin hunting day! And what a great day it was! Spent the morning with boo bear and got ready. Getting ready seems to take hours now. It doesn't help that I take a nap with Ellie in the mornings. ha ha. After taking a few hours to get ready, E and I went to get lunch. We had Subway and really enjoyed it. I could always eat alone before but it was boring. Now, I sooo enjoy going out with just her. She makes my day FUN! Most of the time, I honestly forget that we're in public, though. I'll be talking to her loudly, making funny noises, laughing, making goofy faces... lol!! People probably look at me like I'm nuts!!

The pumpkin patch was so much fun!! Plenty of photo ops for the kiddos. This is what life is about. Getting together with family to enjoy an afternoon. It's about smiling and laughing and lots and lots of pictures!!

Got to get to bed for an early start tomorrow! Have to stay busy!

Love and lots of pumpkins..

10 feet of separation

There are some mornings that my little girl will wake up and she will be completely different. Still the same smiley princess.. but there are new tasks brewing in her head. She will talk more, scoot around more, grab more, dance more.... grow more!! It is a miracle to have her.

This morning we went to church and I put 'E' in preschool. It was our first time we've ever been apart for more than a few minutes. I mean, today was only an hour or so but I was such a proud mama!! They said I could come and check on her as often as I'd like. When I left she cried. I walked out and peeked through the little glass window. The teacher held her as she cried out looking for me. WHOA! It took all of me to step away. ha ha. I went in and as I sat down, I cried a little. I already wanted to go check on her!

I resisted a few minutes hoping she could calm down. When I went back I didn't see her through the window. I went in and there she was playing with toys on the floor. I smiled and left before she could see me. The next time I went and checked she was smiling and waving to the other babies. LOL! After that, I was totally fine. I was glad she could have fun and play! And since she was being cared for, I was actually able to pay attention to the service and really enjoyed it!! When I went to pick her up, she was playing with her bear completely fine and when she saw me.. she busted out crying like she had been doing it the whole time!! lolol!! It was too funny. When I took her she smiled and waved bye-bye to the teachers :)

Even though we were only separated by about 10 feet and a few walls, I felt so far away. It was a good starter. ha ha! I look forward to next week when she can go again. We are both learning a lot.

She also got her 2nd tooth in today!! Yay! Maxx will be home in about 2 weeks!! Can't come soon enough!!!!!!!

Love and preschool fun..

Noelle: My theme park

Whew has it been a while or what??

Lets see... my last blog was about Ellie's new shoes. Well... she went from having that one pair to a collection of shoes. I'd say about 20+ pairs. She was given a lot of cute shoes and clothes from her pal Anabella :) So much has happened since then. Seeing how she does a million new things in one day... needless to say I will unfortunately be missing details.

Noelle is now babbling and saying "dada" like crazy. She loves her "daddy doll" and likes when mommy pretends to talk to him. ha ha. She is really learning her voice by screaming about everything. Even if she's not upset.. she will just scream and smile. It can get pretty funny in restaurants. She also has learned to wave hi and bye (or to walls, tables, and tvs) LOL! She is an attention HOG! If no one is paying attention to her.. she's not happy. She like to get people's attention in public and wave at them until they wave back. After that, it's all just begun.. she won't leave them alone. ha ha. She's a little crowd pleaser.

She is running around in her walker everywhere! She is trying to crawl so bad but just can't go anywhere once she's up and ready. We just got her a few new electronic toys so she's really been interested in them so she might just go after one soon!

She's on spoon strike. She is completely over all jarred baby foods/cereals/oatmeals. lol. She only wants foods that she can put in her mouth by herself or that I can slip in her mouth as she runs off. Her favorite is the cheesy puffs from Gerber Graduates.

E is so fun to be around. She loves to laugh at mommy all day long. I spend my days making goofy faces and dancing around like a silly goose. But it makes her smile and a parent will do almost anything just to see their baby smile. Her one toothed smile makes me crack up! Her second bottom tooth is being a little bugger on coming out! It's alllmost cut, though. OH! And she dances at music now!! It's the cutest thing to watch! She really like when she's sung to!

I am SO excited to give Ellie her own room back at Campbell. She's going to love playing with all her toys. I can't believe it's already October 16th! January is coming so fast... LIFE is coming too FAST! Noelle will be 7 months old next week. Wow!!

Hmm.. what else has been going on?? I'll have to get some thoughts together and post again.

Love and beautiful babies...
