problem solver

Nugs is quite the thinker. She has taken quite awhile to learn to talk and I have said this before- but I really think part of it was because she is so independent and likes to figure out things on her own.
So this little rocking horse has proved to be a pretty big problem for Nugs. Every couple days she pulls it out and tries to solve this problem. She hasn't asked for help yet and I am not sure if she ever will.

.
The problem she is trying to figure out is "how do I fit on this thing?"

It doesnt work forwards...
or
backwards...What is a nugget to do?

She Cracks Me Up!

I was playing with Nugs in the bath tonight and she just started throwing the towel over her face. She thought it was pretty funny and then she soon realized she could suck water out of it.

Now she did pee before she got in the tub- but who really knows what is in that bathtub! A little gross in my mind, but I am sure she has eaten worse things and put worse stuff in her mouth.




Oh yeah- I forgot to mention how it went putting both girls in the same room. Well, both went to bed fine but at 9:00 Nugs woke up because of a cough and started screaming. Needless to say CK is been back in the guest bedroom.

More 4th Fun

Here is some more 4th of July fun! I was waiting for an email with these pictures in it- but instead I just stole it from my friend Natalie's blog.

Look at these big kids eating popsicles on the side of the pool.


And here are the babies!

CK and Nugs

I have always planned that CK and Nugs will share their room- however, up until now we haven't put them in the same room. CK has been on the couch, in the closet, in the guest bedroom, in our room, in a bassinet, etc. But tonight...
drum roll please...
.
CK and Nugs are sleeping in the same room!
.
I obviously have no idea how this will turn out and if they will sleep tonight- or even if I will sleep tonight.
.
But wish us luck. CK went down at 6:30 and Nugs went to bed at 7. I am watching the video monitor and I haven't seen any toys thrown into the crib yet. So we are doing good there.
.
Lets just hope that Nugs doesn't wake up when CK does at 3:00 and want to stay awake.

Happy 4th of July

Happy 4th of July to everyone! We love you and hope your holiday is fabulous!
We are off to a swim party and BBQ.


Nugs didn't want her picture taken this morning.But she didn't mind getting her picture taken later in the car! Oh wait, we wore both of these little nuggets out.
Aren't they cute when they are asleep? I love them.
.
p.s. The end is in sight Ashley! I promise she won't stay in there forever

Fruity

So Nugs is a little "fruity" some days. Like today she was eating her fruit loops and she was making very funny faces. Gotta love her!She made quite the mess.

She found her thumb!

Ck took to the pacifier much easier than Nugs did... However, she didn't keep it in her mouth for very long. Basically we stopped giving it to her a week or so ago because it was more of a hassle than anything. Then yesterday at the pool I noticed she started sucking her thumb to fall asleep in my arms. I am not sure when Nugs started sucking her thumb, but CK started at 2 months. Thumb suckers are pretty cute- even two year old thumb suckers like Nugs.
I will let you know what I think when she is sucking her thumb in kindergarten.
Taking a picture of your baby and then all of the sudden she spits up during a picture- Not so cute. But I still love her anyway.
