Weekend in a glance!

We had a really great weekend. I got to spend a lot of quality time w/Ladybug & my husband was super excited about football season. They watched 1 game together, before she got restless and needed her afternoon nap.


Some how she knows what to use this thing for. Making sure Bear can breathe before he goes to bed.



This is an awesome shirt I got from www.union28.net I used a coupon that I got from one of my new favorite blogs, www.wearethatfamily.com The t-shirt website has a lot of interesting material for married couples. Check out the 30 day challenge! www.reviveourhearts.com




I took on the challenge of trying to put twisties in Ladybug's hair. I used a product called, Kinky Curly. Needless to say I am not a fan of the product or the price. I did however think I did a good job on my first try with the twists.




Daddy daugther time! Ladybug really likes scratching on the table!

Doctors

Ladybug had a doctor's appointment on Monday to look at a lump on her leg. It is pretty big & has been there for about 3 wks. We went to the doctor 2 wks ago & the doctor on call did not seem concerned. She said to keep an eye on it & come back if it changed. Well, 2 wks later it is still there. Her pedi was in town this time & was able to look at it. He was concerned about what it was & why it showed up 3 wks after her immunizations. Initially it was thought to be a knot from the shots. Well, we went for a sonogram on Tuesday morning & then to meet w/the surgeon on Tuesday afternoon. Ladybug did really well during the sonogram. She was not scared & stayed still until the tech finished. Well, once we went to the surgeon, she said she would call on Thursday after she had viewed the sonogram footage, to tell us what steps would be taken next. She called yesterday & praise God!!! It was full of fluid. The size concerned her a little, but she thinks it will be absorbed back into the thigh. She wants us to call in 2 wks & say if it has gone down or not. We will go back in & discuss draining the knot, depending on how it looks & what the surgeon thinks. She was really nice & sat & held Ladybug for the majority of the visit. Ladybug even grabbed a piece of paper & "read" to her. She is such a wonderful baby!

Wordless Wednesday (READING)

Pinterest!

This is my first Pinterest project. I have started to love the site & the app on my iPhone. It is definitely something I like to do for fun! Well, this is a tracing of my hand, ladybug's hand & my husband's hand. I messed up on his fingers & I am debating on if I want to redo his hands. I will post another picture once it is framed.

JBF!

There is this wonderful consignment sale that comes to town 2x a year. I usually volunteer the sale so that I can shop early. I got Ladybug a lot of goodies, but I am only sharing a few of them. The cute kitchen set had to be returned b/c it was broken. Can you believe that they consignor actually tried to tape the door on to give the illusion that it wasn't broken. How rude! :( I am just glad that they let me return it. I spent the rest of the money on winter clothing for Ladybug. It is a great way to save money & get brand new, never worn & slightly worn clothing. I love the sale & I am hooked!!!



These are some of the Legos I bought for Ladybug. They are big, which she needs right now & the best part is.......I got a huge bag for $2! Okay, I got this cheerleader uniform for my husband, who is a BIG TEXANS FAN!!! It still had the tags on it. Regular price was $17, it was on sale for $3.50 & it was 50% off day, so it was only $1.75!!


I got this cute little art set for Ladybug. It was so cheap & so cute. It was $10. On one side it is the chalkboard & the other side is dry erase. It also has a clip that can be used to hold art if she wants to draw or paint. She also got a cute dress to wear in her upcoming wedding. Oh, she is going to be a flower girl in one of my good friend's weddings. It was only $12 and totally worth it!!

Free babysitters are great!

Ladybug recently got to spend some sweet quality time with her Uncle & Auntie. Uncle read her a story. Ladybug loves to be read to. She is listening like there is going to be a test!

Pee Pee?

Potting training is a serious issue and one that my daughter nor myself are ready to tackle. She is only 16 months! Well, today she was having playtime before she went to bed. She was all over the living room.....like usual. =) She climbed onto the couch & starts jumping....b/c she knows she isn't supposed to......stops, grabs the front of her diaper and says, "pee pee". What......sure enough...she was peeing. According to the potty training gurus, she does not have the necessary criteria to be a successful potty trained toddler. Mainly b/c she is not consistant, doesn't have the muscle control down & can't pull her pants up & down. She is basically just feeling the sensation. I was excited that she learned to recognize the feeling, but I am not rushing potty training at all!

She is definitely getting a spunky personality! Today we were in Dollar Tree. I told her it was time to leave & she politely said, "Wait". She said it twice! "Wait, wait". What is the world coming to!
