disney on ice......
snowman......
poker........
ABCs and naptime.........
and molly took a 2 hour nap today.......it was unheard of for her........she hadn't slept a wink from 8am until 12:30 and was crazy cranky so i swaddled her and put her on our bed.......didn't hear a peep from her until 2:45.......she didn't nap again until bedtime at 8pm-ish tonight but she was in a great mood......definitely think this is the start of a new napping tactic for molly.......maybe swaddle and hope for a good nap around 11ish and maybe again around 3ish.......since casey naps from 1-3, it'll be a lot of inside the house time, but gotta do what we gotta do i guess......as the weather gets warmer we could grab the monitor and casey and i could play in the backyard during molly's nap(s).......that way it's not all day in the house for her.......

yay!
the little one said "roll over, roll over".......
my little naked girl and my little cycler......
molly tidbit of the day - man this kid's legs NEVER stop moving!.......she must "air-cycle" about 10 miles a day.......she better be a mean spinning instructor or something when she grows up!......

random thoughts......
why do they not make 2.5 year old clothing??......why must we decide between 2T and 3T clothes??......2T stuff is getting too tight on casey, but 3T is way too big.......sigh.....
after a recent bout of unzipping her fleece pjs and taking them off, we've switched to putting casey in long sleeve onesies with sweatpants for bed.......
molly has got the most sensitive bum ever........if we even use wipes once, she'll get a red rash and be all crabby.......all wet paper towels from here on out for her........

valentines day date......
we were hoping to get to cheesecake factory (since i was really craving their dutch apple streudel cheesecake) but with a 45 min wait (at lunchtime!!) we wouldn't have made the movie.......so we ended up at tgi fridays for an adequate but still enjoyable lunch......then off to see avatar.......it didn't look interesting at all to me, but steve wanted to see it and i had heard really great things about it from friends so we took a gamble......it was good i have to say.......it was all 3D the whole way through and the imagery was really incredible.......
we talked on the way home about the future of movies in 3D - are we all going to need to buy 3D glasses for movies?.......hopefully they'll come in more stylish designs than the ones they handed out with the admission price.......maybe they'll have a contact lens that has 3D capability in it?.......by the time our kids read this, they'll be laughing at how terribly archaic this all must sound.......
it was great to have some time with just my hubby, but we were both really excited to get back to the little monsters afterwards!......
2 fisting and smile breaks......
molly: staying on the food theme, we've had to take "smile breaks" when feeding molly lately.......she's sucking away on a bottle when all of a sudden you'll catch her eye and you'll see the cheeks puff out and pretty soon the bottle falls out of her mouth and she's got a big ol' grin on her face......so feeding her, while it takes longer with the smile breaks, is really super fun.......

kids running and my little meatball's 3 month birthday......
molly: it's molly's 3 month birthday today!.....i can't believe this is how old casey was when i had to go back to work and leave her in daycare......molly's so little......it breaks my heart all over again for everyone who wants to but can't afford to stay home longer with their little ones!!.....

potty time and thumb sucking.....
molly: if anything's going to break molly of her thumb-sucking habit, it's the fact that it takes her about 1/2 an hour to get it in her mouth without poking herself in the eye with her other fingers and the second she achieves it, i yank it out of her mouth........

well maybe a thought every couple days.......
here's today's:
casey - seeing her on a trampoline for the first time today was nothing short of hysterical......the look on her face trying to figure out why the ground was moving when she wasn't doing anything to cause it was great......even better was when she decided it didn't matter why, it was too much fun to not just go with it!.......
molly - hopefully we won't have a return of the molly-monster that we had yesterday......gosh she was a pain yesterday!......only time she didn't cry was when she ate........which she did a lot of because i really couldn't take the noise for that long!!......today seems to be a much better day.......

ow......
so here's what my post would've been yesterday if i could've made it to the computer:
although there's just a slight distinction, casey has now been officially nicknamed "bubba-doo" and molly has been given "bubba-boo".......now to remember which is which!......
and here's today's:
casey: when i hurt my tailbone last night and was lying face down on the couch with tears of pain rolling down my face, casey brought a tissue over and wiped my eyes then gave me an unprompted hug.......how awesome is this kid??......for the millionth time i asked myself what i did to deserve a kid like her......
molly: although i still definitely don't miss being pregnant and we haven't changed our mind on not wanting more than 2 kids, i do find that as molly gets bigger that i'm sad about leaving certain things behind......like we'll never have another squishy-faced, no-head-control newborn that doesn't know how to smile yet.......and since she's out of most of her 0-3 month old clothes, we'll never get to use those again......somewhat sad to acknowledge.......

thought of the day.......
so here's today's thoughts/observations:
casey: since crayola has the technology to make "washable" crayons......why would they continue to make non-washable ones????.......they're horrendous to scrub off our walls.......the current canvas our little artist casey has been using......
molly: when casey was a baby i always used to like dressing her in actual outfits - little shirts and jeans/pants and socks and stuff like that.......with molly i don't even reach for that stuff in the drawer - all i ever seem to put her in are those long sleeve/long leg footed onesies......and you know what?......it's so much simpler - no matching the pieces together, losing socks all over the place, etc.......i'm ok with her not looking like a mini adult yet in her jeans and polo shirts - she can stay looking like a baby in her pjs for a while longer.......
