Spring Break 2011

Baby Bear –
We just spring breaked in Puerto Rico and always just love spending good quality time from you away from all the distractions of our daily lives. Mommy and Daddy are about to take on some big changes. You have a sibling on the way – due in October – and Daddy is going to open a Crossfit gym! You’re going to be getting a lot of time around workouts which you already seem to “get.” We are hoping this will enhance our life quality even though we probably won’t be making as much money. For my birthday, you even made me a pull-up bar from tinker toys and you like to talk about getting your workout. You love to dance and we laughed a lot about this donkey butt song “lemme ride that donkey donkey” – works every time if you’re sad or something.

So, you spent some time with Grandmother and your cousins when mom & dad attended a workshop and came home with “Beiber Fever.” You like to look at JB pictures on the computer and go around singing “like baby baby baby oahhh” and the ludacris part about “when I was 13, I had my 1st love….. she’s my starbucks.” You can point he and Rihanna out in magazines and sing their songs. So cute! It cracks us up! You also point out the police by shouting “5-0” and ask lots of questions about what their job is, etc. Whenever you get hurt, you like Momma to “get” whatever hurt you and I find various ways to inflict pain on the floor, doorjams, walls, toys, you name it. We have fun with that  When you’re eating, you like to say: “I think I like ___” and know that it is really super cute. You love fro-yo. You like to draw tornadoes ever since we had one a few weeks ago while mom was in Florida. You’ve been telling us you want to marry Wills from school. We are hoping to take you to Disney World if you can reduce your whining and pick your toys up more. That would be fun!

Turning 3!

Hi Big Girl! You turned 3!!! We went sledding on your actual b-day (a Friday and mom & dad took off work), then threw a great party, and after all that, you were very agreeable about giving up your binkies. We left them on a plate for Santa to come pick up, he is delivering them to the Baby Jesus who will share them with all the Babies in Heaven. So sweet of you!

Lately, you are always asking us to “tell it” “read it” and you get the biggest kick out of just saying “pooty.” You love to wiggle and spin and love on Kelsey. You tell her “Kel-say; wants some atten-tch-un.” You still love to call Brandi and cousins in LA as well as all your doctors, dentists.

Well, we went to Nashville this weekend and sadly, were forced to give you your 1st real spankings. You were pitching a fit in the car for 40 minutes on the way to Gigi’s. You hugged your dad afterwards and said you were sorry but you had to have a few more over the course of the week. It’s been a while now since you had one and I hope we don’t have to do it often, but it’s only out of love. “Spare the rod; spoil the child.”

In the car the other day you said to your dad that if he wanted to go boating he’d have to go down there (river below the bridge you were crossing) that it hadn’t rained enough for him to go elsewhere. Wow! The last few weeks were a bit rough with you getting the stomach bug one week, flu (B strain) the next, then an ear infection to follow all that up. You are terrible about taking your medicine and were actually staying with Jake & Jenny during the flu but are a complete trooper otherwise. We were in NYC and you said “Why am I not going to New York; I love Hello Kitty.” We brought you back a new Juicy camo sweatsuit that you adore and a new bathing suit for our upcoming trip to Puerto Rico for Spring Break. We are a few weeks pregnant again and hoping things work out this time and that you’ll get to be a big sister b/c you talk about it all the time and will be the best!
Love you Angel Baby  Momma
