So frustrating, yet soooo funny

Each Sunday I pride myself on bring able to get the kids ready for church. With Elizabeth it's a little more work since I have to put tights on, get a dress on her, and get her to sit still long enough for me to do her hair. I get all this accomplished! She has a beautiful clip in her hair and it's pulled back. While getting Martin ready, I turn around and find this. She found a hat that I bought for Martin and put it on. She's sitting in her chair watching T.V. She is happy and content, and I have to redo her hair. It was really one of the funniest things that's happened. Marty's laughing....I'm laughing, and she hanging out.


She is now attached to this hat. She's been wearing it ever since...well...not to church, but loves this hat and wants to wear it all the time. What a silly little girl!

Martin's 1st haircut

My friend Gayle was awesome to give Martin his first haircut. In all honesty, I tried taking scissors to his hair the night before and it turned out horrible! Poor kid has a mom that doesn't know how to cut hair. Thankfully, I have a wonderful friend who helped me out. She did a fabulous job.



Yes, she used the clippers

Thank you Gayle! It looks awesome! Since I saw her do it, it doesn't look that hard, but I really didn't know what I was doing!

The box is more fun

Elizabeth and Martin LOVE the box. I have always heard that the box is more fun than the toy and it is very true with our little ones. We caved and bought a new car seat for Martin, he was outgrowing the infant one. For four days now we have had this box in our living room, because the kids love it. Elizabeth asks Martin to play by saying, "Martin down on the floor." It is so cute. They enjoy playing with each other and can spend an hour crawling through this box chasing one another. Martin just adores Elizabeth, and Elizabeth loves it when Martin listens to what she says. It's too cute.

Happy New Year

We spent a bunch of time taking down our Christmas decorations as well taking apart the baby accessories. It was a little sad to me to put that stuff away. Now that Martin is crawling around, he doesn't want to sit in the swing or be in the exersaucer or jump in the jumperoo....whatever that thing is. So, we said farewell and I sent Marty to put it all up in the attic. We won't be seeing any of those things for a while. However, with all of that gone, it really opened up our living room and we were able to bring Marty's chair out from Martin's room. I've been in the organizing mood, bought some spacebags (I really like them) and compiled Elizabeth's 18 mon. clothes to put them away. I was feeling ambitious and put Martin's 6 mon. and 9 mon. clothes away as well.
YEA! I can stand! only if mom helps though.
