Okay, so tonight was the gals. I was pleasantly surprised with a couple of them. It was much better tonight than I had thought. There still were ones who stunk, but there are 4 that I liked. The first one, Lakisha...oh my, is she great! She "blew it out of the park"...
Lakisha Jones
Sabrina Sloan
Melinda Doolittle
Stephanie Edwards
When the time comes, the baby starts to come out, and then, "pop" it comes out,
as baby Cinderella is doing in the photo below...
Let's see what the girls have to offer tomorrow night...I'm anxious to see...
It's so much fun to watch Liv look at "the other person" in the mirror. She laughs, talks, and drools to her new friend. I wonder how long it will take her to realize that it's really her...

We really enjoyed having Nana here for a couple days. She came Thursday night, and didn't leave till Monday, so that was nice! She slept in Avery's room, so they had a slumber party each night, which Avery thought was really neat. Mom watched the girls for me when I went to work. I did call every hour to see how they were, and of course, they were fine, and probably better behaved than they are with me. Mom took me to get my hair cut, went grocery shopping with PG, and even let PG and I drive her new Dodge Dakota truck! But, most of our time was spent at home, watching the two most precious girls play. Avery has such an imagination, and we found ourselves laughing at her and looking at each other in amazement at how grown up she is getting. Liv loved having someone else to look at, hold her, and play with her. It is so nice to have another set of hands around here to help out, that's for sure. Mom always keeps the house more tidy than I, and just jumps right in to take care of what needs to be done. PG and I don't need a break from our girls, but it sure is nice to have someone else here to tend to them. And, the neat part.....I don't think she minds doing it at all!
Love you my beautiful Avery Joy...you are such a blessing to me...
I love everything about my beautiful baby Liv, but I would really love it if she decided to go back to sleeping all night! 
Nana Dianne (my mother) arrived yesterday evening, and is staying until Monday! YIPPIE! Liv and Avery (and mommy and daddy) are very excited that she came to visit us! I'm sure we'll have more to report after the visit, but here is a photo of Nana with Olivia last night. She hasn't seen either Liv or Avery since Christmas time...it has been long over due! I have to work this morning, and for the first time, I am leaving both my girls with someone besides Daddy. She'll love it, and they will too, but I will be thinking of them the whole time I'm at work...the whole 3 hours I'm there! :)
I have no comment...at least I snapped a photo this time... 
I didn't notice how many outfits of Olivia's have stripes, until doing this blog. It seems that almost every outfit I put her in has stripes...I guess I will try to look for something besides stripes from now on...
When your 3 1/2 month old child, who has been fussy and needy for most of the day, is quite and content for over 30 minutes...something is up...
This first photo was taken on her 4 month birthday, right after her milk allergy was discovered. Poor baby...horrible body rash!
When Avery was around 18 months, I was eating Mac-n-Cheese. She was looking at me like she wanted nothing more than to have what I was having. I knew she was allergic, but I thought, what would one noodle do to her...well, below is the result... 
Her milk allergy is still strong...as strong as her egg and peanut allergy in fact. It has been a struggle, so we pray that the allergy will decrease or go away one of these years...
Being a mother, I think it must come easier to write about your children than your own self. Well, this entry is about ME...and PG too, I guess...and maybe the girls will be thrown in there too here and there...

Opening a can of pringles..."They look so...attractive"
Going into her room..."I'm going to metamorphosis"
"I want crackers, you idiot" to daddy...she learned it from Monsters Inc. We did have a talk with her after this one...but boy, it was sooo funny!
"Mom...llamas do hump" after watching an cartoon. What she meant, was that llamas "honk" when they talk...silly girl!
"My boogers look like little worms"

Most people think Olivia looks like daddy...
The first photo is Avery, second is Olivia...and similarities?
Again, first photo is Avery, second is Olivia...what do you think?
Avery has always had a blankie. This has been a staple in her night time routine. We used to make sure she had her blankie and sucky, then it was blankie and a friend, then blankie and glow bear, etc. The one constant has always been blankie. I'm embarrassed to say that she also uses blankie as her "booger blanket". She doesn't like to wipe her nose with paper, so she uses her tried and true blankie. I'm surprised with all the washes that blankie has went through, that it's still kicking. This is one of those possessions that I will keep forever, even when blankie isn't needed anymore. Hopefully she'll be able to share it with her children someday...if it still has any life in it... 
While talking to my boss, Sara, today, she told me to try to put Liv in her saucer. I thought she was too little, and maybe she is, but it sure is making her happy!
