cheesy faces, wagons, and lights

Most of the time this is what I get when I ask to take a picture! Silly girl!

Presley got a wagon from Meemaw and BJ tonight for Christmas! She LOVED it! She wanted us to push her around in it forever. Then she pushed her dolls and toys up and down the hallway.

And these are some pictures from Sunday night. We went with our friend Karri to the Riverwalk in downtown Milton. The gazebo on the bottom right is where we got married. :) Presley, of course loved the train and was impressed that Santa was the conductor! And she had to get down on the ground and talk to the little deer! ha ha!

only one week left…

I can’t believe that Christmas is only one week away. It just doesn’t seem possible. Maybe it’s because we spent Thanksgiving day in Louisiana and then didn’t have our Florida Thanksgiving until a week later. So I feel like I have an extra week until the 25th. My Mom and I went shopping last week for like 12 hours and came home with sore feet, sore legs, and a cold but 80% of my presents were bought! ha ha!

Presley helped Mamaw and Papaw decorate their tree before we left Louisiana. She was admiring her hard work!

And this is our tree. Presley decorated the bottom half with the unbreakable ornaments. They are all discombobulated and moved on a daily basis, but I just embrace it because that’s how our life is right now! That big  black mark on her forehead is where she gashed her head open on my nightstand. :( There’s still a mark today and she did it almost 3 weeks ago!

I know this next week will fly by. I just hope I can cram everything that I need to get done into it!

birthdays a little late

Jeremiah’s birthday was November 22nd and mine was December 7th, so clearly I’m a lot late in posting this! I totally forgot to take pics for mine, but we celebrated the day of with just us 3 at Olive Garden. And then a few days later, Jeremiah and my Mom cooked a Pioneer Woman meal complete with the best chocolate cake in existence, and we celebrated then with everybody. For Jeremiah’s birthday, we ate seafood at a local restaurant (can’t remember the name right now) and OhSnap! made him a red velvet cake. It was super delicious!  So enjoy the pictures!

Kole and Presley were just as excited to blow out the candles as Jeremiah! :)

30 months!

So again, time has flown right by me and turned my baby into a 2 1/2 year old! I’ve been meaning to write this post for about a month now. So most of the things that I remember are kinda old news, but I still want to write them down so I can remember later.

Presley says some of the funniest things. If a stranger says Hi to her, she will say “I’m being shy right now” and then bury her head. And she’ll say “Mommy, you ok?” if she hears a loud noise around where I am…like if I’m doing the dishes in the kitchen and she’s playing in the living room. “Be cool” is her saying be careful, but it’s so funny to hear “be cool, Mommy, be cool!” She knows that P is her letter and can recognize it in any word and can almost write it. She can draw a smiley face and can count to 10, but always skips the number 4! And she knows that she’s a girl and can differentiate between girls and boys….like Daddy’s a boy, Mommy’s a girl, that sort of thing.

This one is an old picture, but I just couldn’t resist putting it up! It’s so funny!

On TV, Max & Ruby (Maa Ruey) is one of her favorites…that show is so boring, ugh I can hardly watch it! Peppa Pig is her very favorite right now. (remember her Halloween costume?) She rarely asks for Yo Gabba Gabba anymore. Which is ok, because we were burnt out on that show! She’s starting to get into The Backyardigans and Blue’s Clues. She also LOVES Elmo’s World, not Sesame Street, just the Elmo’s World part! Hopefully Santa can find her some Elmo’s World DVDs!!

Presley loves to draw and color. And she’s really starting to get into imaginative play. It’s a fun age! She loves to throw/catch a ball, play with her dollhouse, and play with baby dolls. She also loves to play with our phones and the ipad. She calls it a heating pad! Ha!

She weighs 26 pounds now. We know that from her having her first ear infection last month and us going to the doctor. She wears 2t in pants, 2t-3t in shirts, and a 7 in shoes. The 7’s are still kinda big, but with socks, they work. Presley is still in a size 4 diaper. It’s because she wears the Target brand and they run a little big.

This was a metal bug that Jeremiah’s dad made. It’s pretty cool, but Presley was a little unsure of it!

Well, hopefully I can update again before she turns 3…who knows, that happens in only 6 short months! Aahhhh!
