Video, Er, Wednesday

So, I missed Video Friday.  But I was going to show you this little gem.  It's why I'm having two girls.  Because I want them to be able to do this.  (Unfortunately, if they're anything like me and my sister attempting anything close to this would kill all eardrums within a fifty mile radius as homegirls cannot sing.)









Also, this happened.  Someone is learning to jump!

Well, she doesn't really jump, she can't get both feet off the ground at the same time, but she's REALLY trying and her arms are working hard.  It's so freaking cute.

Healthy vs Tasty vs LAY OFF MAN I'M HUNGRY

My special lover and I have a good relationship. We play cards together, we laugh about the day's happenings, we take walks and don't try to push each other into traffic. It's very loving up in here.

That is until this weekend. 

I'm 23 weeks pregnant ya'll, which means my appetite is back and raging. Normally I try to eat pretty healthy, aside from the millions of reese's peanut butter eggs, but once in a while I'll have something tasty because I actually enjoy food. This however was not an occasion when I thought I was doing something unhealthy per se.

 What was the crime you ask? Well, I dared to sit down in front of the father of my children holding a freshly microwaved Hot Pocket. No, not even a Hot Pocket, but a mother lovin' LEAN Pocket. If that isn't healthy I don't know what is, but someone went total ape shit about it for unknown reasons. Telling me I shouldn't be eating like that and I'm having a baby and need to eat healthy and blah, blah, blah and I was just staring at him confused because who was this guy and where in the world was the dude who two days ago requested we drive to Wendy's and get two Jr Bacon Cheeseburgers, an order of fries, and a soda - JUST FOR HIM. I calmly read him the ingredients (leaving out all the fake stuff), and proceeded to eat it because C'MON Baby Daddy, sometimes mama needs a damn Lean Pocket!

Mmmmm, gooey goodness.

 I didn't even say a word about the fact that he had just bought a bunch of hot dogs to eat as snacks. SNACKS.

 Except that I did, and he just said, "Yeah but that's just ruining my body."

 Point taken.

I can put up with his weird food comments (that rarely happen) because cute stuff like this happens (all the time).

Just taking a walk in the snow with my dad and my blankie. Ain't nothing uncute happening here.

Speaking of healthy, someone got all up into a pudding cup I shared with her.  She literally tried to put her face into the whole cup.  It was amazing because she almost did it.

What? I'm gonna try again 'k?

And I got her to put her hair in a ponytail for a whopping five whole minutes!  Success!!!

Video Friday!

This has nothing to do with us, but it made my day so much I'm still crying from laughter.

And since I'm doingVideo Fridays (that's my new thing, I'm gonna label a day a thing, then do it!) (hopefully!) (I'm also supposed to start flossing every day, but that hasn't happened yet, so we'll see)

Anyway, this video I love so much because it shows a) how Adeline can use sign language! and b) how quirky my daughter is because she thinks it's hilarious when people change songs to make them sorta scary.  Like Becky's singing her a song and coming to attack her all at the same time and it's like the best thing that's every happened to her.


 




And of course, more story time with Addie.  Girlfriend really knows the secrets of how you're actually supposed to read something.

Back to Negative Degree Weather

Sorry for the long break, I just spent two and a half weeks in California where they don't have internet.  Just sunshine and flip flops and so many hipsters I almost had to throw away all my scarves.  Really boys?  Your jeans are tighter than your girlfriend's, do you think that makes her want to get naked in front of you?  No wonder you're depressed.  Sex is fun people!  You don't have to try to push it away with all those bangs in your eyes.  Part that shit, take off those fake glasses, and look out at the world!

Believe me I could rant about the kids these days all day long, but my sister just pointed out I sound bitter and old and she's right.  You wear your lady clothes all you want hipster boys.  And hipster girls you just go ahead wearing dresses that make you look 40 and post pregnant.  Who am I to judge?  I still wear a shirt I had in high school because I don't know if it's out of fashion yet, so clearly I cannot be relied upon to be a good judge of style.

Anyway!  Hipsters aside we had a great time over the holidays!  Before we left Adeline did some prepping to be a big sister.  Here she is hugging her baby AND sharing a chair with Boris.  It was a good day people.

THEN!  She actually let me hold Alex's new teeny, tiny, adorable baby Mikaela!  

Look at that face! She's so excited!  Well, she was excited after she screamed to be picked up and held too.  I think this new baby thing will work out ok as long as I can hold her also.  It's gonna make things really fun up in here.  Especially when this is how the lady likes to act at sporadic periods of time that correlate to nothing, absolutely nothing at all!  

It's just like, good day, good day, good day, BAM!  I HATE EVERYTHING FOR SEVENTY SECONDS! Then back to good day, good day, I WILL TRY TO KILL YOU WITH MY SCREAM BECAUSE YOU LOOKED AT ME WRONG!

Having kids is fun.

I mean she's holding a freaking sundae in her hand but for some reason it pissed her off.  F that sundae!  Stupid sprinkles being all sprinkly!  How dare they.

Later in the week she actually requested to hold the baby herself!  Um, ok.  I'm cool with dying of cuteness. Go ahead.

Mikaela however was not so sure.

Before we left for California we had Christmas with the Amidon's and it was super fun.  Adeline dressed up.

And got the best present ever from her Aunt Amy!

That my friends is Rody.  He bounces up and down and is AWESOME.  Upside?  You blow him up through, I kid you not, his butthole.  No, you did not read that wrong.  The air pumper goes into little Rody's butt. Who came up with that?!  You also have to pull out the butt plug to deflate him.  I know this post will now probably get my blog to turn up on lots of gay porn sites, but I couldn't not share it with you.  I mean, look at this:

LOOK AT THIS!

Ah Rody, you make every day like Christmas.

Two and a half weeks away from Dad was really hard on all three of us.  She changed so much while we were gone that Josh was totally shocked at her when we got back.  Her feet got huge!

She's talking more, and throwing her weight around with attitude, and laughing more, and climbing more, and generally being more wonderful every day!  I'll post more about our trip and things soon.  

I hope every one had great holiday!!!
