Now If I Could Just Get Her Interested in Changing Poopy Diapers, We'd Be All Set.

Oh, what a four days it's been here! I hope y'all had a more relaxing weekend than I had. For once in my life I'm happy it's MONDAY.

A couple of you have requested updated pictures of the legumes (ie. Bean and Peanut) and I'm happy to oblige!

The busy weekend presented me with some nursing challenges, so I cleverly dragged out my trusty Medela and attempted to give Mr. Peabody a bottle or two.

To which he responded, "OH HECK TO THE NAW, MAMA!"

A bottle? From YOU? NOTHANKYOUVERYMUCH.


On one such occasion, my attempt to administer nutrition while remaining fully clothed thwarted, I plunked the bottle down on a shelf in his room and left him cooing and kicking on the floor while I scurried off to tend to some other household crisis and returned moments later to discover this:

Yep. Nutrition Delivery Plan B. B, as in Bean. The boy LOVES his big sister and will gladly accomodate her wildest desires just to garner and maintain her attention for a little while. They were QUITE pleased with themselves after they pulled this little stunt on me.

Angry Prairie Dog Impression?

They spend more and more time just hangin' out together. I do a lot of sniffling happily off in a corner (with my camera) whenever I see them like this.

Bean and Uni-dee-Unicorn, whom she got for her birfday. She pulls Uni around from room to room with her and "hitches her up" to drawer pulls and door knobs. When she heads off for preschool, I am left with careful instructions as to what to do for Uni while she is away. Among my favorites are, "Gently dry her tears and tell her I will be home real soon if she starts to cry for me." and "Feed her some of my Halloween candy, BUT NOT ANYTHING I REALLY LIKE!"

The look that I predict will get him out of many a bind later in life.

Makes my heart go SQUOOSH.


Also, I forgot to mention Friday that I posted about a lip plumper I tried at Chic Critique and y'all might get a laugh or two out of it.

  13. What a beautiful princess and prince you have there. I just cant get over the fact that we can tell kids something till we are blue in the face but it never sinks in til another kid gives it a shot. I hope you had a great Monday and rest of the week.

  14. This post made my uterus ache a bit :)

    I love Bean's horse outfit - especially the horse skirt - that was perfect!

  15. I love that Bean just stepped right in to do the bottle thing! Can I borrow her? My older sons never displayed any inclinations to feed their baby sister -- and diapers were definitely off limits!

  16. Omigosh! That picture of Bean feeding her baby brother -- too cute for words! That should go on your Christmas card. :-)

  17. Aaah, I feel better now. Your kids are so darn cute! Boo has the same tiara as Bean, hehe. And that photo of her feeding Peanut is absolutely adorable, I love it! She is such a sweet girl.

    I'm not too surprised that he wouldn't take a bottle from you. My SIL nursed and bottle-fed (well, breastmilk in a bottle) my niece and nephew but neither one would take a bottle from her. From anyone else they would, though. Those kids know who has what!!

  18. Oh my goodness- your kids are TOO cute! Sorry he wouldn't take a bottle for you- my son did fine with bottles until he was about 8 months old, and he won't take any kind of milk in any kind of bottle or cup now...he'll be a year next week, so I'm working on weaning... :) Hope Bean will do better for you!!! :)

  22. Sister to the rescue! LOVE THAT PICTURE - it may be one of my very favorites of your two sweet ones I have ever seen.

    When I see the girls playing together or snuggling on the couch, my heart hurts with happiness so much I think it might explode. So much good stuff.

  23. Oh Megan...your kiddos are so precious! There's not a single photo that I didn't swoon over. That Bean is just a doll and Peanut's smile is the perfect ingredient for melting hearts.
