Baby Cakes: November 2012
http://babycakesadoption.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 29, 2012. Our 3 year old and our 31 week old. I forgot to put this picture on the August update and I thought I'd better get a pregnancy shot in the mix just in case I don't get caught up before our little girl arrives. Tuesday, November 27, 2012. It's hard to believe we are now parenting a 3 year old. Here are some pictures of our summer fun. Giving Daddy some love. Xavier catching his first fish. The music room at the children's science museum during coach's clinic. The time has come.

At Ease: Week 5:7: Waste
http://aliciaatease.blogspot.com/2012/08/week-57-waste.html
Thursday, August 9, 2012. Hey peeps. Tomorrow is my birthday and I'm spending time with my family, so the blog is up a day early. Apparently I'm way behind, or way ahead. Conserving Energy and Water. Driving only one car. Shopping thrift and second hand. Which of these do you do already? Do you feel like you should change your habits to start any of them? Just for fun, here are my thoughts on the 7 habits. Composting - We have a skunk problem already, so I am not about to through rotting food in the yard...

It's a Wonderful Life: July 2012
http://hotalenfamily.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
It's a Wonderful Life. Tuesday, July 3, 2012. I'm 11 months old now! That means I'm only 1 month away from my first birthday! Can you believe it? Me and my elephant hit the road again for this month's celebration. Here we are in Waynesville, NC. Mommy had to clean my clothes out in the river when we pulled over. But once we got done the yucky driving part, I had a great time! I swam in the hotel pool, went hiking in the mountains, and spent a lot if time with Grandma and Grandpa! I'm also mimicking words...

It's a Wonderful Life: Good Job
http://hotalenfamily.blogspot.com/2012/12/good-job.html
It's a Wonderful Life. Thursday, December 20, 2012. Things that have earned one of my girls a "good job" from me over recent days:. Not getting aforementioned poop on their clothes. Closing a closet door. Turning the page in a book. Putting laundry in the hamper. Remembering to say "Help, please" instead of screaming like a wild banshee when they needed something. When asked when a doggie says. Locating her belly button. Things on the above list I'm also capable of:. Number of "Good job"s I've gotten: 0.

Baby Cakes: "No!"
http://babycakesadoption.blogspot.com/2012/05/no.html
Friday, May 4, 2012. Xavier has decided the word no is a good thing to say in all occasions and to every person. I was sort of waiting for this stage to hit (please let it be a stage) because every small child seems to learn and enjoy the power of the word no, but I secretly hoped we could just skip it. Oh well! While turning his head and growling I don't have any warm fuzzy feelings. Or when we ask him to eat more bites at supper and he say "No! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
