Big Girl Tubbie - Take 2!

Future GAP Model? I think SO!

Daddy thought it was funny to take this picture of us...jeez, we were tired!

We call this outfit 'baby camo!' This child has more pink polka dots than you could count!

Happy Penn State Saturday everyone!

I wanted to title this post "Second Verse, Same as the First" from the scene in the movie 'Ghost' when Patrick Swayze is singing 'Henry the Eighth!' (My sister might be the only one who knows what I'm talking about here...)

We tried the big girl tubbie for the second time - and it went almost exactly the same as the first! Screams of terror and lots of tears! And what did Mommy and Daddy do? Grab the camera, of course! In the very short minutes that Brooke wasn't crying, Daddy was snapping pictures! You HAVE to love the picture of her in the tub with her little legs wrapped around the 'baby hammock!' For some reason, no matter how many times I lift her higher and put her legs back up with her body, she drops them back down into the water! She must not like her pigs getting cold!

Yesterday was an awesome day for us! While Daddy was at work, Brookie and I spent the day getting ready for our big outing to IVMS! And what an outing it was! We got to the school around 2:45, with just enough time to visit with the office staff before they headed out for the day! The secretaries and my principal and vice principal just loved getting to hold her and get their first peek at this baby that we waited so long for! It was so cool to be able to show her off!

As the school day came to an end, Brooke and I hid in the office - out of sight to all students who had heard that Mrs. Wray was in the building - until the halls were clear! I swear, almost every teacher must have come through that office after dismissal to sneak a peek - and I just loved seeing everyone!

When the coast was clear, we headed up to the sixth grade floor to see the upstairs gang! All of my most favorite people were there waiting for us and they passed her around like a hot potato! What a trooper she was - she just looked at everyone and sucked away on that stinky binky! As she got to know Mommy's friends, I had a chance to actually visit with people and get caught up on all of the latest and greatest in the world of sixth grade! It felt so good to be back among such great friends and actually be in my classroom - although a lot has changed...

After a quick bottle and a little puke from Brooke, we loaded up and headed home to meet Daddy for supper! He decided to grill bacon hamburgers for us on the grill! Very yummy! Nana stopped by to drop off some 3 month outfits for Brooke and held her while we ate! It's always nice to have an extra set of arms - and Nana certainly doesn't mind helping!

Daddy spent last evening getting ready for hunting season! He was preparing his bow and arrows and getting things packed into the truck to leave bright and early this morning! So after he was done, we awoke our Sleeping Beauty for tub time, fed her once more, and got her settled into bed! Last night was awesome compared to the last few nights...we fed at 10, 1:30, 5:30 and 8:30!

So - after a rainy morning in his tree stand, Zig is now fast asleep on the couch, and Brooke is fast asleep in her crib taking her morning nap! We are looking forward to another lazy day at home while we watch the State game...my favorite Saturday activity!

We are looking forward to Grammy Kathy and John's visit tomorrow as they are coming to celebrate Uncle Scub's birthday! He is 30 today! We will be going to their house tomorrow afternoon for his party and Brooke is already is excited to visit with Aunt Stephanie and her cousins Zoe and Marlee!

I'm off to enjoy the little bit of quiet time left for me this morning...enjoy the new pictures!

FIGHT ON STATE!
