Just... what???

Our Lovely Lady Lumps

     Kristy's baby shower for Taylynn Moore

     Lots of good food! It was a butterfly, flower, Tinkerbell theme
The 3 pregos:

Me: 8 1/2 months      Kristy: 7 1/2 months   Tiff: 3 months
                       The side view....

The best 3 bucks I've ever spent...

The scene: a mischievous 20-month-old, looking for nothing better to do than get into things he's not supposed to (i.e. opening his parents' bedroom door and the bathroom door, getting into EVERYTHING).

Attempted solution: time-out each time he goes into the rooms he's not allowed to go in. Time-out consists of physically holding and restraining child for approximately 2 minutes at a time (since regular time-outs he couldn't care less about). 

Result: time-outs do not work for 20-month-old, even though he screams and cries during each one. He continues to open the doors to the off-limit rooms, getting time-out each time, for over an hour. Note to self: child is extremely persistent. 

2nd attempted solution: after spending hours searching and reviewing products, Mom finds door knob covers, $3 at Wal-Mart. The $3 are gladly invested.

2nd (and final!) result: the covers work. After much frustration attempting to figure out the new contraptions and throwing toys at the door knobs, 20-month-old gives up.... for now....

Mi almuerzo es bueno

I made myself a lovely treat for lunch today.

The menu: 

*homemade green chili salsa (tomatillos, onions, garlic, jalapenos, cilantro, avacados)

*green chili sourdough grilled cheese sandwich

*banana

Mi hijo piensa es mucho delicioso, tambien!

This is mainly for the grandparents, though anyone who thinks our son is as adorable as we do should watch it, too!

Please ignore the plump, pregnant lady on the couch and enjoy the adorable, little boy in his new, favorite game (that he made up all by himself, by the way)....

Oh, and yes, he is very good at politely asking, "Please?" when he needs help (like getting up on our gigantic couches). He's my little daredevil!

Memories...

It'll be one year this month since one of my best friends got hitched... and now she's having a baby! This was a really fun day for all of us, and I'm so glad Kristy and Clint got married in the temple and have been such a cute and loving couple ever since. I miss her so much, though, with her in Utah. I want to raise our babies together. She's going to be a wonderful mother.

Happy Anniversary, Kristy and Clint! I love you!!
