The positive

Today Natalie was laying on her tummy on the floor and she wasn't screaming! She was also pulling her legs under her body and trying to scoot her face across the floor. Its definitely a 'scoot' in the right direction.

She is ready for Easter!

Valentines day!

I got the best gift I have ever received for Valentines day. NATALIES BOTTOM TOOTH POKED THROUGH!!! That is true love. When your child finally gets her tooth so you can start to get some sleep at night. What is a better Valentines day gift?

True Love = First Tooth

I am so proud of her! I know she has been in a lot of pain. But she is a trooper. Even though I know she is miserable she still is a sweetheart and she barely cries. She is in the living room now watching Blues Clues.

She has been babbling and saying a lot of DA DA. Which just makes Ben go crazy. He loves it. She says it all the time. She also says BA BA. Over and over again. But no MA MA. Oh well I guess I am boring. Whenever she is saying BA BA, I ask her what sound a sheep makes. It cracks me up every time!

She talks in such a girly voice its sooooo cute! She has this little electronic book that says stuff when you touch different things. It says "Your a little star!" She had it on the back seat of the car the other day and I was driving when she says "LIL STAAAA" I almost wrecked my car I was so excited! I know she doesn't know what she is saying but it is really neat that she is repeating things.

Getting teeth and talking.... I hope she dosent grow up too fast!

Ben had Lillies delivered to the house today for Valentines day. The box says they are going to bloom more over the next few days. He is so sweet to get me stuff like that, even though I have been very crabby lately.......which is whole other post.



Flowers Day 1. They are supposed to bloom more everyday



Flowers on day 2! Getting pretty!



Feb 15th update

Ben let me go to sleep at 8pm and he took care of Natalie last night by getting her in bed. He is so sweet to give me the gift of a full nights rest. How did I get so lucky?

Glasses....misc

So I have noticed in the past few weeks that my eyesight is getting a little bad. So I went and got an eye exam today and the Dr said I need a little bit of a prescription. So I picked out some glasses and they should be ready sometime next week. Plus its another thing Natalie can pull off of me. I am going to be a dork. I have always had perfect vision and it really aggravates me that I cant see so well anymore! Its just because I had my 23rd birthday...its all my birthdays fault.

The other day I saw the Dr that delivered Natalie at Target. I don't know why but for some reason it totally freaked me out to see him someplace besides the Dr office or the hospital. I didn't talk to him, but we walked outside at the same time and I saw him get into his car which was A RED CORVETTE. I was cracking up that my Dr was driving a red sports car......its such a cliche

Missy is really not doing well. The plate in her leg has been bothering her really bad. She is only five years old and she is limping around really bad and crying every time she gets up. She wont get on the bed or the couch anymore. She wont play either. Its really sad. But luckily we have our tax return money coming and we can pay for her surgery. It was $850 to get the plate. I assume its going to be about the same to get it taken out. Poor Missy Prissy

I hate my stinkin watch

My stupid watch has this button on it that if you press it the time changes to like an hour ahead of time.

So apparently I have this thing where I look at my watch constantly. It makes me feel better for some strange reason. So the time was all messed up and I started getting Natalie ready for bed like a whole hour early. When I realized my watch was all jacked up, I had already given her a bath and gotten her all ready for bed and it was like 8pm. I thought it was 9pm.

I got so mad that I threw my watch across the room and now I refuse to wear it. I am going to buy a watch that isn't digital so it cant get screwed up. I always thought I was the kind of mom who doesnt go by any kind of set schedule. But apparently I'm not.

Why am I such a freaking weirdo?

Ive got obsessive compulsive watch disorder. OCWD

In other news, I bought the Across the Universe DVD because my dad is like the biggest Beatles fan, subsequently so am I. Anyways I loved it.



Natalie loved watching it too. She couldn't take her eyes off it. I was turning her around in my lap and she was twisting her head around so she could keep watching it.

She is going to be a Beatle fanatic too.. Ben is going to be out numbered now.
