homemade CK Nuggets

I think that this dinner is a new family favorite. These are my CK Nuggets! Homemade chicken nuggets using "Red Robin" seasoning, buttermilk, and more.
.
Nugs and I both ate a ton, Rich ate the left overs, and I am sure CK enjoyed them at a later time when she nursed.

I took this video while I was driving. Not the best move on my part... but what is done is done.
Nugs loves her new CD of toddler tunes and she always asks for it when we are in the car. She constantly dances and makes hand motions and tries to sing along.
.
She can't actually sing any of the words, but she does sound like she is singing the right song.

Sleep Deprived?

Is this daddy sleep deprived?
(we all know the mommy in the house is...)

Potty?

I am not sure which picture is funnier- nope. I know. The top one.
.
Pretty much every day we find Nugs trying to potty train her baby dolls. I feel bad for CK when she is old enough to walk- Nugs will be dragging her and putting her in the potty.

My Lifesaver

This baby sling has been my lifesaver not only at home but at work. When I take CK to work I tuck her in her sling and I go about seeing all my patients without so much as a peep. She loves it and falls right to sleep when she is inside.
I have a blue one, but this one from my sister in law, Katie, is so much better! It even has a pocket for a pacifier and a cell phone.

Mascara Mishap

4 months ago I received the L'OREAL Paris Double Extend Mascara. Now this is the "beauty tubes technology". If you haven't heard of it- I am not surprised because I hadn't heard of it until they sent me a free sample. But basically beauty tubes means something along the lines of mascara that makes little clumpy tubes on your eye lashes.

I really had no problems with the mascara. It was nice because it didn't smear, smudge, or come off at anytime unless I was washing my face with soap and water. Perfect for labor and delivery with sweating and crying all in one. It also stays on overnight when you don't wash it off and it looks like you just put it on.
.
Here is the story- I would say about 10 weeks ago when my family came to visit for Giants Spring Training my sister Ashley borrowed my mascara. It looks like normal mascara and you put it on like normal mascara. She didn't know what "beauty tube technology" was.
.
Okay, I am going to stop right there. I am contemplating deleting the entire post, but I already started and I don't have anything else to write about... the reason being because this story is way funnier in my head than it is written down. But here is how it ends- basically when Ashley washed her face at night she thought her eyelashes had fallen out because the "tubes" wash off your eyelashes and end up on your hands or in the sink.
.
Moral of the story- Ashley is very book smart.
&
I need new mascara.

Hanging Out

So CK and I took a walk the other day and we decided to try out the baby bjorn. Nugs LOVED that thing, but this was prior to me having a baby sling- I will have to post a picture of my slings that I couldn't live without. Tomorrow I will do that.
.
Today I will mention that you don't look at my double chin in this picture. Oh great- now you just looked at it, didn't you?
.
Why can't I keep my mouth shut? You probably wouldn't have noticed the double chin if I hadn't said anything.
.
Some crazy people ask me if i have already lost my baby weight... well, no I haven't. I actually have approximately 25 more pounds to go!! (depending on when I nursed last :) )
.
Lucky for me, they are nice and say, "where do you have to lose it from?" Well, now I can tell them a big hunk of that is in my double chin.
