Name changes

Apparently Lennon thinks lala needs another name change. Out of nowhere "mom, can we change babies name to Ariel? Oh and my name to Ariel too?"

Gotta have my Pops

This morning my kids were being really quiet. When I went to check on them i found this!

Oh and they were eating gum too :) Mom of the year right here!

2 minutes

Lennon thinks that 2 minutes is the only time there is. She was just playing with some toys with her papa and he asked her how long a toy was? Her answer : two minutes! Also every time we go out and I tell her it's time to leave she always says " two more minutes mom, please". I have caught her with her toys also giving them two minute time-outs and letting them stay for two more minutes!

Holland Cutie

Just a few shots of our cutie on a walk in early February.

Look what she can do

Holland can hold her cup by herself! She loves drinking water not into juice at all.

Lennon after the dentist

Lennon after dentist from starr smith on Vimeo.

Here's Len on her way home from the dentist after she had 9 cavities filled!  It was so sad!  She did really good though and she was back to normal by the afternoon.  She never complained about her mouth, but she did say the IV arm hurt a few times.

Papas in trouble again

The moment Mike walked through the door:

"Dad you're in big trouble. You didn't take care of it. You are supposed to shovel the snow and Mom fell with Holland and I fell and now my knees are all jacked up."

She completely heard my phone conversation to her Papa and repeated it the next day! I really slipped on some ice with the car seat in tow and while holding Lennon's hand (so she wouldn't fall was what I told her), dragging her down. You better believe I called Mike when I got home and told him my knee was "jacked up!"

Gotta love 3 year olds. They are beyond hilarious and keep you on your toes! I can't imagine being a person that doesn't like kids or want them... boring!

Lala

Our precious Lala, as we call her around here, can now say Mama & Papa! It is sooo cute :) She is not too into crawling (which is quite nice, not complaining) but she does roll everywhere she wants to go. She sort of scoots around and mostly goes backwards. I know crawling is somewhere soon on the horizon. Yesterday I put her in the Bumbo chair to try to contain her while I got some stuff done and Lennon came running in saying Mom, sisters out of her chair. Sure enough she had maneuvered her way out and was clear across the room! I had a semi freak out for a second wondering where she was until I spotted her. Anyway, we think she's pretty damn cute and we're keeping her!

Dancing Queen

This is the beginning of her Princess phase!  She now wears a crown & dress everyday.

Lennon's first haircut

We took Lennon to Cookie Cutters for her first hair cut! Her hair was in much need of a few inches trim and we (who are we kidding? I mean I) were super sick of trying to comb through a billion tangles. She did a great job and wasn't scared at all. Even with 2 kids coming in and sitting right next to her who proceeded to freak out so bad! Mike said if that was his kid he would have beat them, haha! Lennon picked the airplane to sit in and the movie Robots to watch.



I took this a few days before her haircut to show how long and curly her hair is! So cute! Note the toothbrush... Yes, we do actually brush her teeth even though she has 7 cavities! What can I say, the girl lucked out and got my awesome teeth genes! Lucky!



Here is the precut comb out. Check out how long it is and how straight it looks!



More shots of the length!




Sitting in the airplane all finished. (Note the dumbass kid in the background that requires to sit on their parents lap the entire haircut and still managed to throw a tantrum! Seriously!)



All finished! Such a cutie.

Me: Here eat this veggie burger. It's so good.
Her: It's not good for me mom. (as she spits the bite out)
