Yeah, I have this binkie figured out.

This happened about a week ago, she was 3 1/2 weeks old. I don't think this is normal for someone her age. Hmmm...Child binkie prodigy maybe?!


No matter how many times I watch this video I always catch myself leaning to the side to help her out. And now that you know this I bet you are wondering "did I lean too?" :)

A letter from baby.

Dear Mr. Hiccups,

I don't like you. Not one bit. Please leave me alone.

Sincerely,
Lynley

I used to be able to get things done...

Now I just sit around and play with this little mouse...














                              And sometimes...









                        just to amuse mommy...











         













We play in nothing but a diaper....






So even though we are behind on the ironing, the laundry is disquising itself as a small mountain, and success now means making it through the morning without having to change myself out of poop and/or spit-up covered clothing...

Life is oh so good.

Burrito vs. Butterfly

Happy Halloween!!! Not because we love gore, people terrorizing other people with extreme creepyness, or because we worship Satan...but simply because its fun to dress up silly and get candy. Plus, the only thing better than candy is FREE candy.

We contemplated parading Lynley down the street to get some of this free candy, but I feel like people would have seen right through our scheming. Turns out a 2 week old can't enjoy candy for herself. So no candy this year I guess, but her mommy and daddy can thoroughly enjoy dressing her up in a fun outfit.

However, we wanted something cheap, because who wants to spend 20 bucks on an outfit that is probably only going to be worn long enough to get a picture?! (That is if the poopy explosion or the projectile spit up doesn't win the race against the camera.) So, cheap...whats cheap...hmm...aluminum foil?!? She could be a Chipotle burrito...creative and funny, but not very cutesy though. Scratch that idea. What else is cheap? The butterfly wings that mommy wore during a volleyball warm up 3 years ago on halloween night. Bingo.



I do have to say, they suit Miss Lynley Jane much better....


So we did end up going trick-or-treating after all...
but only to grandma and grandpa's house.

And it wore her out so much the poor thing couldn't even
stay awake long enough to eat the candy.
