How time flies......



Can you believe it my baby girls are 22 months and 3 months. I went to the mall on Saturday to have Alexandra's 3 month pictures made and I had them take a couple with the two of them together. I just had to post a couple of the pictures up on my blog because of course being their Mommy I think they are just about the cutest things ever! I can't believe Alexandra is already 3 months old oh how the time flies.

P.S. In the previous post you will remember that I said that Samantha has been saying "Moma that sucks" when she means Moma that's stuck.... well it happened I was standing in Babies R' Us in the diaper isle and Sam got her shoe stuck in the cart well you guessed it she yells out "Moma that sucks" and this lady turns around and looks at me in shock and I had to explain to her that she meant that her shoe was stuck and she just looked at me and half nodded her head and acted like she didn't really believe me.... Let the embarrassing moments begin!!! :)

Say What?

Well we have been on vacation the past week and Samantha got to play with some of my older cousins. As the week wore on little things would happen for example, Samantha would be trying to pull her wagon and it would get stuck and she would loudly tell me "Moma that Sucks" the first time we heard it Justin and I looked at eachother with horror and tried to figure out where she had picked up this awful phrase. We ignored her but the phrase kept coming up she would get a shoe stuck under the chair or couldn't get her blocks apart and again would loudly yell "Moma that Sucks". I decided I couldn't ignore it anymore and I started telling her Samantha we don't say that and she just looked at me confused and went on about her business. Well we have finally figured out that she is saying That's Stuck and are quite pleased that neither us nor her older cousins taught her to say something like this..... But if you hear a cute little blond girl in Target yelling Moma that SUCKS try not to judge her parents she just may mean that something is stuck!!! :) Laf!

Three Ring Circus

Well Justin left this morning on a trip for work and I have tons of stuff to get done because we are about to go on vacation. This morning I got the girls fed and headed to the grocery store. They were both good until I got to the checkout line. Ally starts crying because she is getting hungry and Samantha is desperately trying to get the package open that contains a foam ball that I told her she could have for being so good in the store. I am in the self checkout with a cart full of groceries thinking that I can check myself out faster than a person who does this 8 hours a day. Should I say Duh! Anyway while I am ringing groceries as fast as I can I hear Samantha scream "YEA, I did it." Well I look over and she has the ball out of the package and I think well ok that's no big deal at least she is happy. Next, she starts yelling "Moma ball". I turn around and think oh she has dropped it so I hand the ball back to her, and again start messing with the groceries only to hear "Moma go get it" I turn around and this time the ball is about 15ft away and she is grinning ear to ear. This child actually thinks we are playing ball in the store while she is strapped to a grocery cart. Hello that is called Moma fetch the ball! This time I go get the ball and don't give it back to her. I quickly finish checking out and we head home. I bring in the groceries and put away any that need to go in the refrigerator and then I give Sam a drink and a snack and get myself ready to start nursing Ally. Well this situation almost always means that Samantha is going to tell me that she needs to go potty. So of course she tells me she needs to go poop in the potty. Well I take her in there and one handed get her on the potty because there is no way Ally is going to stop eating because she is starving so you get the picture. Well Samantha can not go potty if you are in the bathroom with her so I leave. Of course this trip ends with her not going.... I sit down again and start feeding the baby and Daddy calls to check on his girls. I am telling him how our day is going and Samantha comes and tells me again that she needs to poop on the potty so yet again we head into the bathroom and I leave her in there to continue my conversation with Daddy. She comes running back in the living room and I ask her what she is doing and she says "I got down" and I am thinking well great I better go get the pull-up and put it back on when she looks at me with this look of shock and says "uh oh Moma" and I am thinking no please don't let this be the "uh oh" I think it is. Well she starts running back toward the bathroom and you guessed it she is pooping the whole way. Did you know that you could poop while running? Well neither did I and let's just say I wish I didn't know! Well that is just the first half of the day, let's just hope that the second half of the day isn't blog worthy!! Have a good one!

Bye Bye Gymnastics



Yesterday was Samantha's last Gymnastics class and her Daddy came to video and take pictures. She had an absolute ball showing off for him. She has had the best time going. We will enroll her again in the fall but until then we will be playing at the pool... :) The pictures above are of her showing off one of her flips and the other is her getting a ribbon for completing the semester.

On another note I took Ally to the doctor today to see why she is such a fussy little girl at night and it turns out that she has acid reflux. Anyway, the doctor gave her some meds and I can already see an improvement tonight. Yippee!
