5 weeks of being "4"

I have to admit...it's been a little different being a family of "4" rather than "3". The car is ALOT more crowded, the house is always a little noisier- even at 3 am- and messier, it takes longer to get ready or go anywhere, and there is always more "stuff" to take with us, or to clean up or to step on, or to break.... either way we've officially been a family of "4" for 5 weeks today! I must admit, we are faring better than I had initially expected. I thought the adjustment would be painfully difficult...and I have to admit, the first three weeks were not "pain free" but we are finally falling into a routine. PJ has started adjusting well to Miah and is getting impatient waiting for her to get big enough to play with her and have her play back.....


Things I have learned in the last five weeks:

  • Our dog has more jealousy issues than I thought...

  • poop rules my life most days


  • I am reconsidering taking an UPSTAIRS apartment...

  • plastic dinosaurs still hurt when you step on them

  • "regular" cloths finally fit again!


  • PJ is a chatter box

  • I have to watch what I say or my chatter box repeats it (aka, "stupid puter" I had called the computer stupid...)

  • It's okay when Miah poops out of an outfit because I just get to play dress up, AGAIN


  • OxyClean pretreater is AMAZING on getting the the baby poop on those outfits out


  • two cars are a blessing


  • cable is a blessing!

  • "Diego" and I are going to be GOOD FRIENDS

  • High speed internet is amazing

  • sleep is over rated


  • I'm more of a girly-girl than I thought now that I have my own "dolly" to play with all day

  • Cleaning still sucks

So here are a few more of my favorite pictures from the last time I posted:


Mickey's mom's Aunt (if that makes sense) crocheted this a million years ago for his mom to put one of her granbabies in. We were blessed enough to recieve it.








So she looks a little like a grape in this outfit...but dang she is one cute grape!!!





So my dad recently got a "big man" chair. It's huge as you can see. Well, we went to have dinner with him on Sunday and while he was sitting in it PJ went up to him with a Buzz LightYear toy that had stopped working. My dad said, "lets go in my office and see if I can fix it" so he got up and walked to his office. Instead of following, PJ watched him walk to the office and when my dad went into the room, PJ climbed up on his chair. Ha ha. He totally suckered my dad out of his seat!!
