Gaps...

Lily lost her second tooth on Friday!

She yanked it right out of her own head and then dropped it under our washing machine!

Skillz.

I wasn't able to get to it so I let her know that Daddy would move the washer when he got home.

She panicked for the entire ride to school that I was going to find it while she was gone and throw it away.

Or that I'd keep it for myself and get all the spoils!

(que evil Step Mother laugh)

I calmed her down (repeatedly) and finally gave her a pickle so that she'd be too busy chewing to talk.

If you look at the photo above you can see said pickle poking through her new face hole.

Lovely.

Now all I have to do is keep this one from ripping all the teeth out of her head for money.

Wish me luck.

Lunch Time Manners...

My babies got them!

She only takes one piece at a time.

Chews exceedingly well.

Then quietly swallows and moves onto the next piece with a big grin on her face!

Unlike this one...

who couldn't possibly care less.

Which can be proven here, here, and lest I ever forget here.

Thanks for making MaMa look good Munchkin.

It's appreciated more then you know.

Baby Hobos; Before and After...

Ever since Lily could talk I've told her that I won't let her leave my house looking like a hobo.

Needless to say my two oldest children now refer to themselves as hobos if they've left the house without a bath and a good hair brushing.

Case in point...

Addison told an actual hobo that she was a hobo while at the grocery store.

Oy.

So to clear matters up just a smidge I present before and after photos of my 'baby hobos'.

Before:

Slept in, drooled on, food covered, nose slimed onsie.

After:

Only slightly drooled on onsie.

Before:

Snotted on, fro'd out, food covered head.

After:

Curls tamed (for 5 minutes), clean face, slightly snotted on shirt.

Before:

Bed Head.

(If this is all I have to deal with I call it a 'kid win'!)

After:

Hair done and clothed!

I shall enjoy the next 5 minutes of this non hobo moment.

Cause there's a child tornado headed this way.

I can feel it.



Mesh Mash...

Look at my beautiful baby!

Now look at my adorable baby doing one of my favorite things on the face of the planet!

Best.

Game.

Ever.



No Words...

For this face.



Toothless!

Lily lost her very first tooth last week!

When I asked her to show off her new gap this is what she gave me...

I asked for a little less maniacal showing...

She was happy enough to give me a good smile.

The dollar she got from the toothfairy has also set her on a "loose tooth" hunt.

I've wiggled more sturdy baby teeth this weekend then I could possibly count.

She's a girl on a mission.

In case I don't make it home...

Look for these two.

It's probably their fault anyway.
