Surprise in the tub

My sweet little girl has been telling me when she goes potty. She'll hunch over and grab her diaper and say poop....in more of a question "pooooooop?". And she has begun to think its funny when she "toot toot"s.
So, the other night she was in the bath tub playing with her toys, and she looks up at me and says, "toot". I said, "oh, did Macy toot toot?"
Then, all the sudden, there was something floating in the water, that wasn't a rubber ducky. It actually took me a second to realize what had happened. I yelled for Kevin (thankfully he was home), and he came up and wrapped her up in her towel, so i could clean up the mess. As soon as I pulled her out of the water, there were about 3-4 more little floaties in the water.

*Sigh*

This is the first time she's ever done this, so I would say that after 16 1/2 months, that I've been pretty lucky.
Now the task of clorox-ing all her toys and cleaning the tub.
****
Update. The above story was April 1st. Maybe a cruel April Fools joke??? But last night (the 4th), she was taking another bath, and looked at me and said "Macy poop in the tub?" I said "no, thats yucky, Macy no poop in the tub". Then she started to get fussy like she needed to poop. So, out of the tub she came....after only 5 minutes.
I hope this poop in the tub isn't a trend.

THANKS FOR LETTING ME SHARE THIS DISGUSTING STORY :)

Cruisin'

Kevin and I will be celebrating our 10th anniversary this June....so we decided to celebrate. We took a cruise to the Caribbean. We flew to San Juan, Puerto Rico and then sailed on our cruise to St. Thomas, (U.S. Virgin Islands), Tortola, Antigua, St. Lucia and Barbados (British Virgin Islands). We just got home on Monday night. It was a great trip...wonderful islands, beautiful beaches and amazing weather....hot and humid.
Our Macy girl stayed here with Grandma and Papa. Oh, how we missed her, but she was in the best hands and had a great time. It seems like she has grown so much and her hair has gotten longer. We were only gone for a week, but it felt like a month.
Here are just a few snap shots of our trip.

Snow day

So, we're cooped in the house today, and it's snowing outside. Here is how we keep ourselves busy.
*Sigh*







Our new favorites....the abc song on the fridge, and doing "circles".
This is a very mild version of "circles".....most often, she does them until she can't stand up straight.



Diesel and Macy are good friends.....he does tend to lick, and in this video, he wants to be the center of attention (which is very normal)

Another week....

With a new week brings new things. Bop and Da, this first picture is for you.....this is the outfit that you bought Macy for her birthday. It finally fits her, and is so cute.
Thank you.



My little ham


Macy has discovered her "knees" and wants to see them and point to them all the time....so it started as pulling her pant legs UP to show us.


Then she promptly walked into her room, and took her pants right off. She LOVES just running around in her diaper. Thankfully she hasn't learned to take that off yet......I'm sure that is coming.

Where does the time go?

WOW!! Today, my sweetness is 15 months old. I can't believe where the time has gone. She is truly so sweet and makes my day. Now that I have been working less, I get to spend so much more time with her. It is tiring at times, and there are moments that are trying, but how rewarding to be a mother. I am very blessed.
Here are more pictures and some video of her lately.


My valentine




Her little car. She is having a good time, even though it doesn't look like it.
(Thanks to Nicole, who I work with, for all the wonderful donated toys).

New things everyday

Macy looking like such a big girl, reading by herself. She loves to read with Kevin and I, but this time, she needing to do it herself. So independent. I wonder where she gets that??


Riding Diesel.....it's a good thing he is so patient with her (well, most of the time).


Brushing Diesel


This is a common occurrence, no matter how hard I try and stop it. Usually, though, the dog's tongue is out too.


They look like they belong together, don't they? I think they will be great buddies.

Winter

Oh, winter, how I will be glad when you are over. It has been really cold here for the last week. Below zero for 3-4 days in a row. (Although we aren't getting snow packed like some people, which I am thankful for). We've been staying at home mostly because it is so cold....too cold for Macy.
Macy continues to grow. She has 16 of her 20 baby teeth. So, only her 2 year molars to go.
She can say so many words now, and can actually say a few words together...."mama's cup" and "Diesel's bone". It's really cute.


On a cold day, Macy helped me make cupcakes.



Easy to entertain her: a wrapping paper tube, a bag of dog food, and a toothbrush. What more could you need?

Growing some hair!!! Yeah.
