Feeding her baby

Tenna enjoyed her clam linguine so much that she HAD to share it with her baby! Needless to say, when she wanted me to kiss the baby later we decided baby needed a bath ;) 

Meow!

Andi was a little kitty, and enjoyed her warm costume, but Tenna LOVED trick-or-treating! By the end of the night she was dancing around jabbering to herself and saying "mmmm" every few words or so! 

Happy Halloween!

Wow! I just wanted to throw a pic or two up while our internet is working! Cheers all! 

Sling fun

We had another decent night last night, so it was time to bake! Andi does seem to like the sling. She slept through a very long trip to Lowes on Saturday. I have had several people ask me where they can get a sling like this...I think I should go into business ;) It's fun for me to cuddle her, and Tenna enjoys her chance to be a big girl too! 

Matching mommy

Like all todlers, Tenna likes to do adult things. She had to have her sling on and "cook," something while Andi and I made bread. She is already a multitasker too, notice the juice. 

...and yes, she does enjoy cooking! Couldn't resist putting up a pic with such good dimples! 

Fending for herself

Now we know that Tenna would make it out in the wild. Well, maybe not, she does like to eat a lot of rocks. Anywho, she really liked this bread, so I couldn't help but get this pic! She is also pretty thrashed at the end of the day, so I figured that the crazy hair and dirty clothes would add to the effect. Our little rag-a-muffin, has to eat what she can get ;) 

 

Our hulk

Well the two week (really 2.5 week) check up went great! The Dr could hardly believe that she has gained over a pound since birth! She is healthy and strong...now if we could just get her to switch night and day... 

My kid is cuter than yours

Yes, I intentionally chose pictures in which my children look drunk to emphasize the humor behind this statement. Don't get me wrong, I DO think my kids are the cutest, but I had to laugh at myself at how competitive I am about it some times. I found myself comparing my kids with my mom's kids and thinking "gosh, mine are way cuter and smarter." This is a bit odd since I AM one of those kids. Just thought I would share my little insanity. I guess I probably need more sleep! 

Japanese fun in a bath!

Gracie and Sarah stayed with us and helped us pre-Andi (and post) so the girls had some good play time. Here they are playing with some Japanese bath crayons...little did we know they draw better on skin than the tub! 

Welcome back!

Here's Andi! 

Because sleeping is what daddies do best!

The classic ;) 

...the updated family!

Here's the whole crew! Tenna has been so good with Andi so far. She loves to give her kisses and talk softly to her. I was worried at first as she would reach up (I thought for me), but she really wanted to talk to the baby! 

Tired?

Yeah, It was certainly a long night. 

Some big updates!

Introducing Andilyn! Andilyn was born on August 24th, 2006! She was 6lbs 15ozs and 20 inches long. She suprised us all a little bit. We checked into the hospital, and I was only dialated to a five, so we thought we had plenty of time. About an hour later as I was relaxing in the tub I realized that she was coming NOW! Albert tried to ring the nurse, but no one had plugged out call button in, so he ran out to the hall and called for help. He ran back in just in time to see her head! The midwife barely made it back in to officially "catch" and we had a beautiful baby girl! It is so fun seeing how she and Tenna are the same and different. 

They know more than they let on.

Tennna has a new game, she likes to dump out her baggie of cereal and eat it off the floor. Today daddy and I were working on a picture book for her and she decided it was time to play the game. Well, she dumped out her cereal then left for the kitchen. I called her back and told her it was time to clean up. Lo and behold she came back with the broom and dustpan! Maybe we really will be able to start doing chorse in a few months (haha, dream on)! 

Daddy did my hair!

And you wonder why we don't let daddy do her hair very much! Actually this isn't as cool looking as the first time he got this band on her head, but it gives you the idea. Funny, she won't leave clips or rubber bands in when I do her hair, but if daddy does it...that's a different story! 

Ode to Summer

This one is for you Stephanie P! I loved the little fruit baby pic, so I had to put up our reply! I am glad that she is enjoying the fruits of the season, though it does mean I never get to finish a piece of fruit unless she is sleeping! 

Tenna isn't ALWAYS a morning person!

I think this face must be what Tenna sees on me every morning when I wake up, so it is natural that she pulls it sometimes! 

Shoes

June Cleaver wore pretty shoes while she cleaned, I am off to a good start! Gramma visited this weekend and brought Tenna three new pairs of shoes! No one can tell me that shoe fettish isn't a gender thing because she was very specific about which shoes she wanted to where and when. Even before anything else was done, she had to have pretty shoes on! 

...because this is the only picture with me in it that doesn't show my bum! 

Beauty is pain 

Beautified for the day! 

...done helping mommy, time to get out of here!
