Liberty park fun

Francie and Sam came up to our hood last week so we could take the kids to the park & eat the lunch special at Su Casa! YUM! The kids had a blast swinging & then going on the rides before we left. Lennon threw a major tantrum as we were leaving (see picture). We are now giving her to the count of three to do what we ask or she gets a timeout. It has been working brilliantly (thanks France)! Before that we were just threatening her with you will be in big trouble but then never following through with anything so she never cared. I even heard her playing with some toys saying "you'll be in big trouble".


Looking so damn adorable as we left our house. I may have lost her sunglasses now... NO!

Riding the super sweet cars
Each of them on the airplanes

She chose the pink plane & then later wanted to ride the "shark plane". When I said no this is how she responded:
I wouldn't pay $1.50 for her to ride the planes again. Can you say ripoff?!

Merry Christmas everyone!

In honour of my baby girl turning 1 in three days!

Last year on this day, at this exact time, I was going to the ER because I was "in labor". I had drank castor oil (just thinking about that stuff makes me dry heave) and walked around my neighborhood as fast as I could to induce my labor! Two different people recommended it to me & it worked for both of them. It sort of worked for me, but then my contractions were to close enough together so they gave me a shot of morphine and sent me home. Not to worry because I made my Dr. induce me 2 days later. Lennon was born after midnight so it was technically 3 days later. She is lucky to share her birthday with my cute niece Chloe (not to be confused with my other cute niece Chloe!)

Here are a few ultra sound pictures. I can't believe she is turning one. I can't believe that she was inside me & developed into a baby/person! I have an ultra sound from 6 weeks where she was just a circle blob with a tiny heart flutter. Biology is insane!
