I Need A New Face Cream

Mommy, why is Jasmine prettier than me?

What do you mean?

She has make-up eyes and red lips and pretty skin.

Yes, she is very pretty. People are pretty in lots of different ways. Look at you! You're so pretty! I wish I had your chocolate brown eyes, your soft skin, your little heart-shaped lips. You are pretty in a different way. Now, look at my face. What do you see about my face?

Your face has wrinkles.

Not what I was going for...

My How Life Has Changed...

This was my Saturday morning...

Wake up extra early after a sleepless night with a wheezing baby.
Get whole family dressed and ready by 8:00 a.m. to leave the house for the doctor's office.
Change shirt three times - one for spit up, one for boogers, and one for poop.
Load screaming babies who HATE their carseats into the MINIVAN.
Try to ignore older child who first tries to sing to babies to calm them, then thinks it might be more fun to cry along with them.
Sit at doctor's office, nursing one baby after another while reading books to older child.
Load screaming babies who HATE their carseats BACK into the MINIVAN.
Once again try to ignore obnoxious reaction of 5 year old.
Drive to Walgreens to pick up prescription for baby.
Pretend that I don't want to reach through the little automatic drive-through drawer at Walgreens to strangle the woman who asks me EVERY SINGLE TIME to update my Pittsburgh address to my Austin address.
Drive around for 15 minutes, killing time, taking speed bumps and turns very slowly as to not awaken sleeping babies.
Pull into Walgreens drive through again and immediately awaken sleeping, and now screaming, babies.
Ask What? What? What? repeatedly as most-quiet-speaking-pharmacist-ever tells us that the medicine should be given at bedtime, yet will cause insomnia... in a household that already doesn't sleep.
Drive home with screaming/singing people.
Pull MINIVAN into driveway.

It is 9:30 a.m.

My Apologies...

I would like to apologize to the baby formerly known as One Dumb Baby. I will not be naming names to protect the innocent. Plus, I don't want my friend to know that I was talking smack about her four month old.

You see.. it went down like this... Pre-newborn and infant experience, I was talking to a friend who told me that her baby would lay on the bed and look at the fan for at least an hour straight. Now, I adored this particular baby and I thought he was super cute all around, but my thought at that moment was, Man... that is one dumb baby!

Fast forward to my own male heir, who has decided to make me eat crow. If there were an award handed out for fascination with all things fan, Reed would win it. In fact, he saw One Dumb Baby's fan obsession and raised it up a notch. My boy is so obsessed with fans that apparently he can't look away. He will stare and stare until he starts crying because he is too overwhelmed.

Look away, Son. Look away.

We've decided to keep adding to the college fund just in case... You know, always look on the bright side...

Copycat Ana

Ana is very into the copycat game - finds it rather hysterical. She is also not easy to trick.

Daddy: Thanks for dinner, Mommy.

Ana: Thanks for dinner, Mommy.

Are you copying me, Ana?

Are you copying me, Ana?

I guess you are.

I guess you are.

Today was a really great day.

Today was a really great day.

It was fun to have lunch with our friends.

No you're not.

Thanks, Ana.

Thanks, Ana.

Vacation Worries

2 weeks ago, Daddy to Ana: Baby, I'm so happy! Tomorrow I go start vacation. I don't have to work for two whole weeks!

Ana to Daddy: Oh, Daddy! I'm happy for you, but I'm going to miss you! (giving him a big squeeze)

Daddy to Ana: Why are you going to miss me?

Ana to Daddy: Because! You're going on vacation! Where are you going? Sanny-tonio?
