Mother of the Year award

Yes well, as much as I would love to lie, I have not won any Mother-of-the-Year awards this past month. Lots of movies, macaroni n' cheese for lunch, taking toys to bed, a bath maybe every other day, a little better with teeth brushing but only because he loves it and it takes up time in the evening when I am lacking the plethora of patience that is required for 14 hours with a toddler and a newborn.


But, despite coming up short on motherhood perfect, my kids still managed to survive this past month and no worse for wear. In fact, they're looking pretty darn good. Here are some pictures from the past week:



I didn't know you could have a double chin when you only weigh 7 lbs..... evidently you can!

There is a story behind this one... We use one of the chairs from his little table as the time out chair and one evening as I was making dinner I heard "Timeout, one, two, tree.. otay" Yes, he had put his potato heads in time out, one on each chair. SO FUNNY!
Jeremiah skipped his nap this day, it was a little too exciting with this lovely buzz lightyear costume so how could he sleep? But of course as it came to about 5pm he was getting a little cranky. He wanted me to sing 5 Little Ducks over and over and over again as he sat on my lap, he was out!

Imagination

Jeremiah got a few new toys this past week at a thrift store we went to. 2 Buzz Lightyears, 2 Airplanes, 1 power ranger (which is affectionately called "Suppey Hewo") and some animals. He has begun pretending with them, which is entirely entertaining and heartwarming to watch. What is so funny to me is that he wispers as he pretends with them. He can't manage to wisper during sacrament meeting, but he wispers "Buzz a rescue.... aplain flys.. shhew" SO FUNNY!

Getting my Body Back

I forgot how much I missed having a waist until I got it back! I do love being pregnant, but there is something about the convenience about being able to fit in tight spaces, or turn to the side without hitting my stomach on something, or someone. Hurray for having my body back! Of course I still don't really fit in my old clothes, but who cares, I suppose I just need to go shopping! :) Any ideas for cheap clothes that look fantastic?
