Cindy-Lou Who?

Our first attempt at piggy-tails! :)

Mimi, You Forgot Someone...

Brookie was jealous that Mimi went to Florida without her, so we let her try on her new bikini (without a diaper, might I add) and pretend she was at the beach, too. We thought if Mimi saw these pictures she might request that Grandpa bring Brookie along when he flies down on Sunday--she flies for free, remember?? :) Marce said it's fine with her!!! Ha! :) Hope you all are having FUN! We love you--(even though we're freezing up here....)



Can you see the wet spot to the left on her toy box? That would be due to the lack of a diaper! ;)

Build him a stage...

Have to write this before I forget it....

Connor discovered this little purple bouncy ball he had gotten somewhere, under the couch last night. Well, it's small enough that it's not a safe toy for Brooke, or for Gracie (the dog). So, we let him play with it while they were both sleeping! In the wee hours of the morning before master Connor awoke, I put the ball away, hoping it would be long forgotten.

Wouldn't ya know, the first thing he asks for this morning (prior to his breakfast request), was that little purple bouncy ball. I explained to him that the ball was too small, and not a safe toy when you have a dog and a baby sister in the house, so, mommy had to throw it away. He thought about this for a minute and said, "Or, we could throw that baby SISTER away....!" :)

Maybe Jesus Has a Kitty Cat.....

Connor is seriously cracking me up these days...three is definitely a trying age. He's very emotional, and can be extremely moody--we're getting quite the glimpse of what the teenage years might be like--but man, some of the things that come out of three year old mouths! Ha! ;)

The other day he was begging me to take a bath. It was the middle of the day, and I wasn't ready to do baths at that moment, so, I told him that we'd do baths that night...he then proceeds to start "sniffing" the air.
Connor: "Do you smell some-fin mommy?"
Me: "Connor, ugh...don't tell me you poo-pooed in your pants...grrrr.."
Connor: "No Mommy, it's me...I'm stinky....I really, really need a bath!"
Needless to say, I gave in on that one! ;)

Earlier today he was tickling me and started to bite my stomach. This was an old habit of his that I thought he had kicked. I STERNLY told him NOT to bite, and moved him aside. He looked at me and said, "What, Mommy? I'm just gettin' to know your tummy better!" What?! I have noooo idea where he go this one!

Tonight he was playing with a tape measure of Tommy's. He was measuring various things around the house, (including me) to see how much they "weighed". ;) Then started telling me about the tape measure (did I mention he's also learned the art of fabrication....)
Connor: "Daddy gave this tape measure to me in heaven."
Me: "Really...hmmmm...I didn't know you'd been to heaven, what's it like?"
Connor: "It's an old house......with two roofs....and lots of old doors...."
Me: "Wow!" "Did you meet Jesus?"
Connor: (Stops and thinks) "Maybe Jesus has a kitty cat!"
Hum--I think we'd better spend more time with our Bible stories! :)

And so it goes, and so it goes....leaving me to wonder, what will come out of his mouth tomorrow! ;)

P.S. The song he made up tonight goes something like this....

"Burp....excuse me.....burp....excuse me.....burp....excuse me..." ;)

Living proof! ;)

Here she is in action!

She Walked!!!

Yep--Brookie took her first steps yesterday...first two, then four, then six!!! I wouldn't, by any means, call her a true "walker" yet, but at least she's building her confidence! :) We'll keep you posted as our little adventurer progresses.....YAY, Brookie!!!
