Hope you all had a Merry Christmas!

Is that a ponytail I see??

Look what we can do now!!

When Lucy was born she had "some" hair on her little head, then we came home from the hospital and some of it fell out. She wasn't totally bald but we defiantly wanted it to grow.

Thanks to Aunt Shawna and her overwhelming amount of wisdom, she told me to brush her hair while I nursed her. So every time I sat to nurse, I got my little infant brush out and I would stimulate her scalp. Not really sure how much it helped, but in my mind it was working.

With Beau, I didn't even think about his hair growing. With Lucy, well, yeah.

So now I get to start doing ponytails. So FUN!! As you can see from the photo, I use the sink and a toothbrush to entertain her while I'm working my magic.. ha. Not too sure how long this method of distraction will work, but for now, it works.

I figured it out..

I believe this is where it all started, her love for "gog", that is.

Don't mean to brag, but don't mind if I do!

Not on myself, of course, but on C.F..

When Beau's 1st birthday came around, C.F. and I decided that we (Do you like how I used "we?" All I did was show a picture of what I wanted and he worked his magic.) wanted to be creative and do the cakes ourselves. I actually did help with some of it, but he really gets the credit. He has done such a good job, and we've had fun together with Beau and Lucy's birthday parties.


His 1st birthday was "Farm Animals." This one is probably my favorite, right next to his 4th birthday cake.



2nd birthday was "Toy Story." He got a Toy Story figurine set, and I can still see him sitting on the couch playing with Buzz, Woody, Jesse & Bullseye :(


3rd birthday was "Dinosaur." This was the first birthday he picked out his own plates and cups, which was a little hard for me cause there was another design I thought was cuter, but I let him pick. Kudos to mommy for not being so controlling! I think this has been the hardest cake so far.


4th birthday was "Firefighter." This was Beau's first birthday party that a friend from Puppy Pound (a.k.a. pre-preschool) was able to come. That may not seem like a big deal to some, but for us it was. We have so many cousins that live close and were able to come to his parties, we didn't have to have friends. Now that he's in preschool birthday parties will be different from here on out

Also, notice that there are no cups at the table. I got smart and realized you don't need them. Two words: Juice Boxes!!

My Big Tough Guy!

Ever since Beau was little he's been very good at giving "dirty looks." All we'd have to say is, "Dirty looks, Beau!" and he could turn it on. I'll have to find a picture of him doing that.

I think I have several pictures of C.F., when he was young, standing just like this.

A Girl and Her Dog (Dinosaur)

I don't think I ever dreamed of Lucy having a t-rex as her comfort toy. For some reason she's taken a liking to this dinosaur that she affectionately calls "Gog." (a.k.a. "Dog.")
She even pets him and scratches his belly like a dog.
