Wordless Wednesday: Baby Blowfish

Silly Daddy

I've heard that as children are learning to talk parents should agree upon the words that will be acceptable for certain body parts. For example, using the word "bottom" for what I usually call a "butt."

Unfortunately we have not had that discussion and instead of "bottom" David just taught Morgan how to say "booty"...and even worse it is pronounced "boo-tay."

She pronounces it quite well. Sigh.

I never win things...

...until now!!! Yipppeeee!

We used an AMAZING local photographer to take some family photos when Morgan was about 7 months old. We got some beautiful shots and bought way too many of them, of course.

This past week she ran a contest for a $500 Gift Certificate and I WON!!! I can't believe it! When we did the photos last time I was still working and she's pretty expensive so we haven't been able to use her since. Now we can!

I'm going to talk to her this week to get an idea of dates. She does incredible outdoor photos, so we will probably wait a while until it's warmer. It will be good to wait until Piper is at least sitting on her own too, so we have some time. I can't wait to get some pictures of our newly expanded family!

Here's a link to her website www.amywaddington.com. Check out her beautiful portfolio and also see the "blog" link where she announces the winner, ME!!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!!!

Sister Weekend

My sister Ali posted some cute pics of the girls from our "sister" weekend on her blog. Check it out here.

I've got two sickies at home right now. Morgan's nose started running on Tuesday and Piper's started last night. Morgan now has a nasty cough. She's not coughing a lot, but when she does it sounds terrible. We're waiting it out at home the next few days. Hopefully we'll be on the mend soon and Mommy and Daddy won't get it too. We had a good run with no illnesses for a few months, so I'd say it's been a good winter so far in that regard.

Wall Art

We have our first "piece" of Morgan's artwork...on our walls! She colored it nicely with multiple shades. I couldn't bring myself to tell her to stop this time. Thank goodness for washable crayons and the magic eraser!

Will be back soon...

Aunt Ali came for a visit so we were pretty busy and not blogging for a while. We had a great time hanging with the kiddos and indulging in some Old Navy shopping, snacks and sweets. Good times...updates will be coming soon!

Here's a "gem" for you to hold you over...

Last week David went to use the bathroom right before bath time. He didn't completely close the door and Morgan decided to follow him in. She carefully watched what he was doing and then announced "Juice!!"

OK, kind of gross, but really funny!
