Prunes: Before and After

Ayden has been on solids now for a while, and ever since he went on solids he hasn't really had any disastrous pooping accidents. Well for a couple of days in a row the poor kid grunted all day long. We could make him laugh-but even that would turn into a low grunt. And he wasn't pooping as mush as he usually does-so we thought we would help the little guy out by giving him prunes. I think he had them on two different occasions.

Before:play innocently (grunting of course)

After: need I say more? Good to know that prunes work!

P.S. Let me just add-this is no innocent baby poop. We are talking about (I know gross-sorry!) full on real person poop!

Tag! I am it!

So I have been tagged several times and never follow through (I was tagged with the husband tag-which I am sure you have all seen and never did it and I think Kipp was a little sad, so you might even see that one eventually)-but here I go!

I was tagged by Rebecca
Here are the rules:
A: Each player lists 6 facts/habits about themselves
B: At the end of the post, the player then tags 6 people and posts their names; then goes to their blogs, leaves them a comment letting them know that they have been tagged and invites them to read your blog.

1-I am not at all creative so coming up with these six things are going to be a stretch!

2-I am one amazing sleeper. I think the longest stretch of sleep that I have had is 14 hours! Kipp is always amazed by my ability to sleep. I blame it on the strange hours that I work-but he thinks that I should back to normal again one day later-not the case.

3-I love gross things. I don't know if I should confess to this! I don't know if I became a nurse because of this, but I love cleaning out ear wax, suctioning snot, pulling hairs out of Kipp's many moles, cleaning lint out of Ayden's belly button-you name it-I am sure I would enjoy it. We have to drain kid's ears at the hospital and I always feel so great when a get a huge chunck of black dried up wax. Same with the snot. I look at a child after getting tons of snot out of him and think, "look how much I just helped you out!"

4-I love TV. I could probably find something to watch at 3 am when other people claim that nothing is on. I find myself watching some really stupid things sometimes-but yet-I am totally entertained.

5-I hate making goals. Most of the time I just don't. I will follow my goal for a little bit and then it usually dies off leaving me feeling like a failure. So no goals=no bad feelings toward myself.

6-I have a theory. Have you ever noticed that the really bad things happen to really good, nice people? Well that is why you have to be a little mean or bad every once in awhile. Meaning you have to cuss occasionally, get mad at your husband for something stupid, gossip here and there etc. I am sticking to this plan. I will let you know how it goes for me.

Happy Easter!

We had a great Easter Sunday. The Easter bunny visited our house (thanks to Kipp). We ate dinner with my family and it was amazing. Poor Ayden had yet another photo shoot!

All he really wanted to do was eat the ears
My sister Celeste and Ayden in their cute Easter clothes This has nothing to do with Easter, but when Ayden was sick-this is how I found him (he slept until 11 that morning-and only because the camera flash woke him up). Darn cute!

This is Ayden's new toy. Since he has been sitting up on his own, he has been enjoying things that he can play with while he is showing off his new accomplishment.

I think I am going to be SICK!

Yes-that is a snot bubble! Poor Ayden was sick this last week. On the morning of the worst of it he just laid in my arms and moaned. Poor guy! Being broken hearted-I babied him and held him for a couple of days. He is still congested but feeling obviously better. But now I have a monster on my hands. He is needy and wakes up way too many times in the middle of the night! What happened to my baby?!

The snot just keeps coming and coming!

Congrats Kacie!

My cute cousin Kacie got hitched on the 14th! We are so excited for her. She looked amazing and her dress was beautiful!Her husband Taylor seems like a great guy and we can't wait to get to know him better. We just love the Kofoed family and love opportunities to get together!

Playing with the Carlisle's!

When my brother Brandon and his wife Janea come to town from Vegas-we try to play as much as we can. It always ends up being a weekend full of bowling, climbing, Boondocks, shopping and way too many late nights. But we always have fun and wish they could come more often!

Janae and Mason. She is pregnant and due in June with a baby girl-you can hardly tell she is prego! Nicole and Ayden

This is my niece Avery. I laughed so hard when she made this face for the picture. I can't help but think of the Olsen twins-how they purse their lips and make their cheekbones stand out. Hilarious! I think she has been looking at too many tabloids!Ryan and his girlfriend Jessa

New Best Friends

Ayden and I have both made new friends this week. We have been meaning to get a bouncer for Ayden, but after he went to two of my friend's homes who had this bouncer-we knew we had to get one. He had so much fun. So we ordered this bouncer from Target. I was so excited when it finally came, only to find that they sent us the wrong one! I was so disappointed. So after some calls, we got another one on the way. Three days later-my new best friend arrived! Ayden will sit in it for awhile without getting upset.

Now for Ayden's new friend. There is a little toy sun on the bouncer that he loves. He will pull on it, bite it, and sit and smile at it. What would we do without our friends?
