Daddy feeds

Ladson has been a really big help. He swore that he wouldn't do any "baby" stuff when he got home but now realizes he should. When we go some where he gets the stroller out and sets it up, pushes it, and watches her when I go to the store. Most of you might think this is all silly but when you have to do it all by yourself you really love the help. I just hope I wont get used to it.

Are you kidding me? Mary Reilly didn't like the pacifier when she was little. I went to get some bottle nipples out of the drawer and found this pacifier. I gave it to her and now she loves it. I really don't want this to be a habit so I am hoping she will forget about it when I take it away.

Words I use

New shoes

Ladson and I went to the outlets yesterday. We were trying to buy some clothes for Ladson but I ended up buying some shoes. These were at the Kate Spade store. They were originally $285 and I got them for $25! I think they were pretty and for that kind of money they were even prettier!

Daddy is home!!

We picked Ladson up in Dallas today. Mary Reilly went right to him. It will be a short 18 days!

Hurricane Mary Reilly came

I guess I really have to baby proof my house. I could have stopped her but I let her have fun.

She is naked because she has a really bad diaper rash and I am letting the air get to it. Poor girl

Wordless Wednesday

Daddy is almost here!!!!

Since Ladson can't have any alcohol in Iraq/Kuwait I went and bought some. These are just a few of his favorite beers. I am sure these will be gone in a few hours when he gets home.

Mary Reilly has been crawling for about a week now. I was too lazy to put it up. Here is her crawling to get my phone.

Church

I woke up early and went to church this morning. I did go to the Catholic church because I have Mary Reilly and it's close to my house. I would love to go to the Episcopal church but that service is at 7:30 am! That's way to early for this momma! I have noticed a few things that have bugged me about going to church. Who said it was ok to wear jeans or even worst shorts to church? I mean you can't get dressed up one day a week? It's like people just rolled out of bed and came because their guilt told them to go. I am not big on wearing pants but atleast it's not jeans. As I was brought up, if you bought a dress you would have to wear it to church first before you could wear it out. I was NEVER allowed to wear anything but a dress to church. I can admit that when I was pregnant I did wear pants but I didn't have anything else that fit. I guess the Catholic church just wants you to be there and put money in the offering plate. All have have left to say on this issue is show some respect to the most important person who gave you life!

Another thing, since I am on this church thing, talking in Church. I know I have a baby and she sometimes makes noise but if your baby is crying take the child out. That's what nurseries are for. I see these parents just ignore the child while it's crying. Then you see the other people around them get mad that they can't hear. Think about the priest who has to talk over all these babies. Do you think he likes all this noise?

One more thing. When it's time for communion why do people leave? The mass isn't over. Would it hurt anyone to stay until it's over? Since I had 12 years of Catholic school I was taught the mass isn't over until the last song has been sung. I think people just don't want to wait to get out of the parking lot. If you think that then why come to church in the first place?

I feel better now!

Google Reader

Thanks to my neighbor Paige I now use Google Reader. I just wanted to inform people who didn't know about this wonderful feature. If you have a Google account you can put all your blogs you read on this. If a blog that you read is updated, it will put it into your inbox. No more going to site to site. It's about time someone came up with this. Maybe alot of you know about this but it's new to me. So for the people who only update there blogs once in a blue moon (not mention any names...Paige) we don't have to check when you update.

Self eating

I was reading my the What to expect the first year to give you child a cracker so I did. She absolutely loved it. She ate about three of them. It was so funny to see her feed herself.

Gotta love South Carolina Girls

Three men were sitting together bragging about how they had given their new wives duties.

The first man had married a woman from Georgia , and had told herthat she was going to do the dishes and house cleaning. It took a couple of days, but on the third day he came home to see a clean house and dishes washed and put away.

The second man had married a woman from Tennessee . He had given hiswife orders that she was to do all the cleaning, dishes, and the cooking.The first day he didn't see any results, but the next day he saw it was better. By the third day, he saw his house was clean, the dishes were done, and there was a huge dinner on the table.

The third man had married a beautiful girl from South Carolina . He told her that her duties were to keep the house cleaned, dishes washed,lawn mowed, laundry washed and hot food on the table for every meal. He said the first day he didn't see anything, the second day he didn't see anything, but by the third day some of the swelling had gone down and he could see a little out of his left eye, enough to fix himself a sandwich and load the dishwasher.

The Park

Since we are getting (another) hurricane we went to the park to soak up the sunshine. The forecast is calling for rain all week :( I guess that raincoat will come in handy. Mary Reilly likes the swing so I pushed her for about 15 minutes. It was hot that is all I could stand. I really like this park. It was just redone. They have a duck pond around the corner. There is also a walking trail and a pool. I wish the town would see parks are a necessity for children. There needs to be more. The only down fall is it is so hot and all the slides are just too hot to slide down. I would love to have a covered park.

Your tax dollars hard at work

Someone sent the guys a free box of cigars. Of course everyone had to smoke one. It's had to pass the time when you can't have a beer! Don't worry Ladson I have already bought some beer.

Mary Reilly made a friend!

Crawling update

I think it will be any day! Mary Reilly has been getting up on all fours and rocking back and forth. She kinda gets frustrated when she doesn't move fast enough.

We also have a tooth that has come in but she wont let me take a picture of it. I will try later today.

Twins!!

HA HA not me! (I would have to have a husband home for this to happen!) My cousin Melissa is having twins. I can't wait to meet these babies. Congrats and I will be praying for y'all. (Sorry I stole your picture)
