Our Little Southern Belle

For lunch today Mia enjoyed hush puppies and sweet potato fries (among other things). Her great grandmothers will be so proud!!


My child is a ham.





This is her new trick.  She comes by that long tongue honestly.


No manners.


This is our shout out to Mia's bff, the birthday girl, Taylor!  We stopped by to wish Taylor Happy Birthday today.  I can't believe they are growing up so fast.  We LOVE this girl!  And yes, she is that beautiful!

How Much Wood Can A Woodchuck Chuck?

UGHHHH!!  I am mad at all you experienced mothers out there.  Mad, mad, mad.  You have let me down in a major way.  Why did no one tell me that my baby was going to turn into a beaver?Maybe my child is the only one with a wood fetish?  Mia has chewed her beautiful crib to bits.  I noticed a few chew marks and honestly didn't think too much about it because it was just a few here and there.  Then Dave told me yesterday that she had chewed the heck out of the crib. I looked and didn't think much of it.  Until I put little Miss Woodchuck to bed and noticed the far left of her crib seriously looks like a termite got a hold of it.  I guess when I thought she was quietly resting she was really building a dam.  So you new mothers out there here is your warning.  Buy a cover from Amazon.com.  I just bought mine and it's probably too late.  It's worth the $18.00.  So when teething starts remember that I warned you.  I was going to post a picture but I'm too mad.  I don't want to look at that horrible mess.  I'm surprised she doesn't have splinters in her gums.  



It's hard to stay mad at this cute face!
  

This is the perfect shot of her destructive tools aka, teeth.

Sleeping Beauty

Mia has started sleeping like a little frog!  She looks so cute.  It looks uncomfortable to me but works for her.  After 8 months of sleeping torture I don't care how she sleeps as long as she's ASLEEP!  That's Mr. Snugly Bear next to her.  It was a great idea I read in some book about keeping a stuffed animal in the crib and ONLY in the crib.  She gets so excited when she sees him and waves bye bye to him when it's time to get out of her crib.  Don't ask about the booties she's wearing.  I can't keep socks on this little girl so I was trying something different.  It didn't really work by the way.

The Luck Of The Irish Strikes Again!!

Well I don't have much to post except... tonight I am fulfilling one of my childhood dreams of seeing New Kids On The Block in concert. Don't hate. I loved them with every fiber of my being. I still do. When I was A LOT younger I would stand in front of the TV watching their Disney Channel specials singing and dancing along even though my siblings were laughing and mocking me. I bought my Teen magazines and put their pictures up ALL over my wall. I put together my giant NKOTB puzzle over and over again. I would listen to my New Kids tapes in my red tape player with the microphone, singing along karaoke style. I wanted to go to a concert so bad but it never happened and I told myself if they EVER had a reunion tour I was going. Joey, tonight I will be hitting those falsetto notes with you, kicking my legs out side to side, and wishing I were 10 again!

Yep I'm Screaming Alright!


Normally I don't do free advertising for major companies BUT I do love to help friends out and believe me people... you need Bruster's ice cream in your life.  In my hometown we have a Bruster's and it is a MUST do when we are in town.  Everyone in my family LOVES it.  I can't explain how good it is!  I recently discovered the Louisville area has one!!  So on March 7th you can try it for FREE!!  (I would call first to make sure they are participating.)  That's right people.  You just have to show up in your pj's and you can experience this heavenly treat without opening your wallet.  Now the thing about Bruster's is, it's an outside deal, so if it's cold jump back in the car and warm up while you indulge.  It's worth it.  I promise.  When you step out of the car in the parking lot and smell the fresh waffle cones baking you'll know what I mean.  Also another cool thing they do is, children under 40 inches tall get a FREE baby cone.  That's right.  So you don't have to share your ice cream with the kiddies.  And they have free doggies sundaes if you take your furbaby along!  I will have to let Roxy know about this.  Do yourself a favor... go and be happy.

Too Cute For Words!!

Well, I can always find words actually. Mia looks so cute in her bow that my friend Michelle made. You can check her bows out at tinybows4tinytoes.blogspot.com (how's that for free advertising!). I'm so glad I put her in this dress Sunday because she's getting too tall for it and won't be able to wear it much longer. Her bloomers are always sagging out the bottom because she's too tall for her tights too, so she's got saggy crotch syndrome. All the ladies know what I'm talking about when your tights just don't pull up all the way. Oh she is just too cute!!



Oh my gosh, she has dancer hands!!



She's showing off.














She always uses her mouth to help pull up on things. Our couch is seriously struggling thanks to Mia.




Love the scrunchy smile!




Striking a pose!




I'm so glad I got a picture of those 2 bottom teeth. She has 4 teeth coming in up top and her smile will be completely different soon.



That's my girl!
