<br />
Sweet Noelle,<br />
<br />
You are such a sweet, easy, pleasurable baby. You have grown so much and you are starting to get such a sweet little personality. Here are some fun things you are doing right now:<br />
<br />
<b>Stats at 9 months-</b> 20lb 1oz (80%) and 29.25 inches tall (95%)<br />
<br />
<b>Stats at 12 months- </b>22lb (80%) and 30 inches tall (75%)<br />
<br />
<b>Crawling and Cruising</b> - Yay! You finally started crawling around 9.5 months. Your mobility changed everything! I know I'll miss the days of putting you down knowing you'd stay, but I love that you can be an adventurer now. We borrowed a "baby cage" from the Wears, so for about two months we had a monstrosity in our living room. BUT, it made Mama's life so much easier! I could put you in there (sometimes with Q) and you would play safely while I got breakfast or dinner made or packed lunches or anything really. :) Sadly, the "cage" didn't last long. You figured out how to move it and escape. Now that you are over the "cage", we had to put up the baby gate at the stairs because you LOVE the stairs. You get so excited when we open the gate because you love going up all by yourself. You get such a kick out of Daddy telling you "I'm gonna get you!" You laugh and you are REALLY fast! We definitely have to watch out.<br />
<br />
<b>Eating</b> - You love solids and you have figured out the whole "pick it up and eat it" thing. You picked up the sippy cup really fast and you even figured out how to drink out of sister's Camel Back with the straw! Smart girl! I made all Quinn's food, but for you, I've done a mix of pouches and homemade. I am so blessed by all the moms in our neighborhood who gave me their unused baby food too! You still have a thing about texture so some stuff makes you gag, but you are getting the hang of it. At 9 months I was I was still nursing about 4-5 times a day so that was your main source of nutrition. Let's be honest, it was just easier. :) Toward the end of your ninth month, you decided you were too big for baby food so now you only want food you can feed yourself. AND, you are a bottomless pit! I think you eat as much as sister sometimes! Now that you are almost a year, I nurse in the morning, at night and usually once during the day. I am starting to wean you but I am a little sad...I love nursing (despite the PAINFUL start) but I know you are ready to be a big girl and drink whole milk.<br />
<br />
<b>Laughing</b> - You smile easier than any kid I've ever seen. Everything makes you smile and you tend to always smile for photos. This makes me so happy!! :) Sister makes you laugh the hardest (still) and you tend to laugh at the most random things (i.e. when Q drops something, makes a silly noise, Ella barks, etc.). You also have the best "sympathy" laugh...if you hear us laughing you sort of fake laugh because you see us doing it. I can always get a smile when I brush my teeth (you love the Sonicare sound), when Q is running in front of us for school drop off, when I "fly" you into the bathroom for bath time. You think it's funny when I say "naked baby coming through". At dinner time, you love sitting next to sister and she makes you laugh a lot with silly noises and blowing bubbles. Your favorite game is going back and forth with sister blowing bubbles and getting spit everywhere!<br />
<br />
<b>Talking</b> - Your first word was MAMA around 8-9 months. Woohoo! I mean, you probably don't know you are saying my name, but I was excited that you figured that sound out first. You quickly moved to DADA and you stuck on that one for a while. Lately, when you are frustrated, you sound like you are venting and saying "dada" over and over like you are telling us what's on your mind. It's pretty funny! You have also started copying us more. The funniest thing you say is "good girl" when we do anything with Ella like put her outside or in her crate. You just love that silly dog! You can sort of mimick our sounds now, so we can get you to say "I love you" and your new favorite thing to say is "hi". You also know how to say "uh-oh" and you've picked up on the game at the dinner table where you throw something down, say "uh-oh" and we pick it up. When I rock you at night I whisper I love you a lot so you've started whispering "I" over and over. It is just about the sweetest thing.<br />
<br />
<b>Playing -</b> You are a busy girl! You crawl so fast and you are into everything. I haven't put locks on the cabinets so you love pulling everything out. You also don't like things to be in order. You immediately knock down the blocks when we stack them and take toys or clothes out of bins and baskets. It's funny how you and Q are different that way. She used to want things in order and you are the opposite! You played in your exersaucer until about 10 months while I showered and/or got dressed, but now I just have to depend on sister to "babysit" while I quickly get dressed. I have about 15 minutes but that is HUGE for a mama! Going to the park or being outside after we pick sister up from school is a little hard right now. You want to be down on the ground but you want to eat everything. So, Mama will be glad when you can walk and get around a little to explore without wanting to eat leaves, dirt, grass, etc. Another thing you love is reading books, but you are very particular about them. You LOVE the ones that have flaps you can open and you know exactly where the flaps are and how to open them. It's so cute to see your sweet little finger open them up and then close them. Our new favorite thing you do is peekaboo behind the ottoman. You squat down and pop up when we say "where's Noelle?". You are so proud of yourself and it's hilarious. Now that it's summer, you have been loving the pool. You like to stay in your float kicking and kicking but you also love to just play on the steps or outside the pool. You like to climb in and out, in and out, in and out. You are just so busy! Of course your favorite thing to do is ANYTHING sister is doing. Poor Q can't do anything without little nosy sister checking it out...but Q is so patient and she's learning to play with you more and more. It's so sweet! You have become a dancing queen. You love when sister turns on the music in the playroom and you immediately go over to the table to be close to the speaker. You just dance and dance! Finally, our favorite thing of all is your recent discovery of open-mouth kisses. You can put off bedtime like a champ by giving us open mouth kisses and laughing while we try to rock you. Tricky, sweet girl!<br />
<br />
<b>Sleeping -</b> Praise Jesus, you started to sleep better during the day at around 6 months! At 9 months you took about an hour long nap in the morning and afternoon. That probably doesn't sound like much to most people, but for me, it was amazing! Now that you are closer to a year old, you take a good 2.5 hour nap once a day and a little cat nap if you need it. You also still sleep 12-13 hours at night! My little rockstar night sleeper! We still have you in a sleep sack because I just think it's nice to sort of have a blanket on you and we recently put a "lovie" in bed with you (the lion that Nannie Mae got for you before you were born). You aren't super interested in cuddling with it, but you play with it when you wake up. The only issue with sleeping right now is that you don't want to go to sleep. You throw a little bit of a fit and arch your back when we sit in the rocker. When I stand up you know I'm going to put you down so you lay your head down and cuddle. Tricky girl! Lately I have been telling you that I will put you down if you don't lie down, and I think you get it because you eventually give up and lay your little head down. I love rocking you and I'm not ready for that to be over...I will rock you until you are 16 if I can!! :)<br />
<br />
Mama loves our days together! I love seeing you grow and learn new things. I love being able to hug and kiss you all day and we have a fun little routine. Every other Monday we go to MOPS and you love the teachers and friends there. Tuesdays and Wednesdays we stay home and get stuff done while we play. Thursdays, you go to work with me at the church where they have childcare. You are usually the only kid, so you get lots of love from two teachers. Thursdays are also "nap in the car" days because I have to drive right when it's time for your naps. But, we make it work. Fridays, we take sister to dance and then have lunch with Nannie Mae. Sometimes you sleep on the way there and sometimes you don't. You are so busy during dance and you LOVE watching sister and her friends. It makes you smile so big. When summer got here, we threw the schedule out the window and just did what we had to do to get sister to all her fun camps. But, you got to do VBS this year (the childcare version) and you did great! I think as a second child you know you just have to go with the flow.<br />
<br />
What a blessing you are sweet girl! I hope you always have a silly sense of humor, I hope you always smile easily and I hope you always love being around your sister! Of course, I also hope you will always want to be around Mama and cuddle with me too. :)<br />
<br />
Love you so much!<br />
<br />
Mama<br />

Dear Sweet Noelle,<br />
<br />
How are you already six months old!?! I'm sitting at the kitchen table writing this while you bounce and chat it up in a bouncy toy. Aaaaannnnd I think you just pooped. Probably a blowout.<br />
<br />
Yup, it was a blowout. I may or may not have just wiped the poop off your pjs and put them back on you. It wasn't a lot. (Mom of the year.)<br />
<br />
Anyway, the last six months have flown by and I'm sorry I haven't been able to blog more about your life. Daddy and I have started a "Noelleisms" note in our phones, so we have that, but I did want to sit down and capture what the first part of your life was like.<br />
<br />
<b>Newborn Stuff</b><br />
I want to remember this stage because this time it was much more enjoyable than it was with Q. I think the first baby is such a shock, we didn't take time to enjoy it. We were in panic mode. This time, I loved every moment. Even getting up in the middle of the night wasn't so bad because you went right back to sleep. We kept you in our room for about six weeks and then moved you to your room...the transition was great! I was sad when we moved you because I really enjoyed the time we had together just Mama, Daddy and Noelle in the trenches of the newborn season. We had the glider in our room and the pack-and-play next to the bed. That will always be a special time in my mind. At night, Daddy normally got up and changed your diaper and then I nursed you. I had a lot of milk so for a while (before you slept through the night at about 8 weeks) I would only feed you on one side and pump the other side so I could keep up my supply and give myself a little relief.<br />

<b>Breastfeeding</b><br />
I thought going into the second kid that I would be a pro! I nursed Q for 12 months and I just knew it would all go smoothly. I forgot that every baby is different and every baby has to learn how to breastfeed. I fed you for the first time in the recovery room and you did great. But, you were a very aggressive eater and you were still trying to figure out your little tongue. By about two weeks, I was hurting...pretty badly. I cried and sort of dreaded feedings because of the pain. I finally went to a lactation consultant who basically gave me permission to pump and give you a bottle sometimes to relieve my pain (you took the bottle the first time and never looked back...unlike your diva sister). The LC also helped me by giving me a nipple shield and providing moral support. Things started to get better about 6-7 weeks and now you are a pro. I love nursing and I'm so glad we get to have that special bonding time together. I am less modest than I was with Q so I take the cover everywhere and we have nursed at the park, in the car, at restaurants and on playdates. I am blessed with a really big supply (just like with Q) and you helped me donate 500oz. to the Mother's Milk Bank so far! Way to go sweet girl!<br />

<b>Magical Baby</b><br />
You are seriously the sweetest baby ever. You are the kind of baby that will make me want a third (not so sure about that). You don't cry a lot, you sleep well, you let me put you down for more than five seconds, you are a good eater and you love to snuggle. The only time you make us crazy is in the car or when you won't nap...I'll touch on that later. You smile easily and you've started squealing and laughing more. Early on I could bounce you for a few minutes and lay you down and you would go to sleep. We put you in the Rock and Play Sleeper downstairs a lot and the vibration would send you into dreamland. I remember one day, I vacuumed while you slept in that thing and I literally vacuumed under and around you while you snoozed away. People tell us all the time what a wonderful baby you are. I wish I could say we did something and take the credit for it, but the Good Lord just blessed us with your sweet nature. I'm blessed to be able to take you to work with me one day each week. One of the volunteers told me one day "I will forever be in awe of how you put that baby in her car seat and she just went to sleep." Here's the thing...I'm a little worried you are tricking us. Please don't. Please stay sweet and don't turn into a crazy toddler, k, thanks.<br />
<br />
<b>Funny Quirks and Some Other Baby Stuff</b><br />
There are some really cute things you do that make us smile.<br />
-When you cry sometimes it sounds like you are saying "Gahhhh". Like you are trying to say "come on y'all...figure it out."<br />
-Pretty early on you would be chatting and then a sneeze would come on suddenly. We called it the yell-sneeze because you would sneeze mid-chat and sort of yell before you sneezed. It would make Daddy, Q and me laugh so hard.<br />
-Your sweet little cowlick on the top/back of your head is the sweetest thing. Q and I always sing to you "crazy hair, don't care".<br />
-You are a kicker. Your little legs are constantly moving and I'm pretty sure your goal in life is to kick off your socks and shoes.<br />
-You started sleeping about 11 hours at night around 8 weeks.<br />
-You slept in a swaddle until about 4 months.<br />
-When you are tired you dig your head into our shoulder and rub your eyes.<br />

That sweet cow-lick...this was before you had rubbed your bald spot on the back of your head.</div>
<br />
<b>Social Girl</b><br />
We got you out of the house early...much earlier than Q. Here are some of the things you got to do before you were even six months old!<br />
-We went to Jill's baby shower 10 days after you were born. You snuggled with Mama the whole time!<br />
-You went to church pretty early too...I think it was about 6 weeks old.<br />
-You went on your first family vacation to the beach at 7 weeks old.<br />
-You got go to go a Baylor game at 2.5 months old. It was so fun and we were lucky that our seats were right in front of the mother's room so we could nurse mid-game.<br />
-Q started playing soccer when you were about 8 weeks old so you got dragged to several soccer games...of course you were perfectly fine being outside.<br />

<b>So Alert and Observant</b><br />
You are the most alert and observant baby I've ever seen, and a lot of other people say the same thing. From very early on (like 2 weeks) you were constantly moving your little neck around to see and hear things around you. Mama even had a crazy moment where I thought something was wrong with you because you wouldn't make eye contact with me. My mind was put at ease when the pediatrician that lives across the street said "She's just nosy...she's fine." Well, I have to say you come by it honestly (or at least Daddy would say that). I have so many memories of you almost falling asleep and then popping your little head up to see something. You also LOVED being outside (and still do). It was so funny how you would just whip your neck back and forth to look around...like it just blew your mind to see so many things. One of the funniest things you notice is the theme song to Gilmore Girls. I started watching this when you were born and now any time the theme song comes on you stop nursing and even wake from a deep sleep to look at the tv. It's hilarious! This will always be one of my favorite memories of you as a newborn...little bright-eyed, nosy girl.<br />
<br />
<b>The Car</b><br />
Oh. My. Goodness. You were worse than your sister. We DREADED even driving across town. I don't know what it was, but you hated getting in the car more than anything. Once you were out of that seat, you were perfectly fine. I decided at some point to just laugh rather than lose my sanity, so I have multiple voice recordings and videos on my phone of you screaming while Q is obliviously singing songs. Those recordings capture your early car days perfectly...and show why Daddy is getting gray hair and Mama is losing her mind. :)<br />
<br />
<b>No Naps, No Naps, La, La, La, La, La</b><br />
You are just like your sister...you won't nap. I have no idea how you function or how your brain is developing but you won't nap more than about 20 min. Mama might go crazy. BUT, you aren't super fussy when you are awake AND you've slept at night since you were 8 weeks old. So, it's hard to complain too much. I've tried everything to try to get you to sleep and you just aren't having it. I don't get much done during the day and it's so exhausting having a baby that won't sleep, but I'll have the rest of my life to sleep, do laundry, clean, cook, etc. Right? But, I'm not gonna lie...I envy the moms whose kids sleep for two or three hours. I have no idea what I would even do with that time. But for now, no breaks for this mama.<br />
<br />
<b>Loved</b><br />
Mama was so thankful to have so many helpful people around when you were a baby. Daddy got to be home for three weeks and he and sister took good care of us. They brought me breakfast and lunch in bed for a week (stairs after a c-section weren't easy), and Daddy did a great job entertaining your busy big sister. Then Auntie Em came and stayed with us for a week. What a fun week! Mama loved having her sister around and you got spoiled. I'm so glad you and Q will always have a special relationship just like I do with my sister. THEN, Nannie Mae took a week off to help. You got to cuddle some more, and one day Mama even got to take a nap with sister while Nannie Mae took care of you. Granny and Ahwo/Ahpo made it in town for a visit after that so you were just surrounded by people who love you. There's nothing more important than family and you are a lucky girl to have so many people who love you!<br />

<b>Your Fave</b><br />
Your favorite person in the whole world is your sister. You smile and laugh at her the most. Many times, when you cry, I ask sister to come talk to you. It always calms you down and you even start laughing. I hope your sister is always your favorite person...what a special relationship!<br />

<b>Your Nursery</b><br />
For posterity...here's your nursery before we actually used it. These photos make it look white, but it's light gray. Now there are toys and baby stuff everywhere and we love that it's your safe place. The print that hangs above your changing table is in honor of your great-grandfather Clayton Sylestine who was the chief of your tribe. His middle name is your middle name.<br />

<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
2015 was very kind to this little family of ours. Neither of us have been as efficient as we'd like in terms of documenting this for posterity's sake, but the memories we've created this year are strong and deep. Here are some of the highlights.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<b>Ella</b></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
Our little dog daughter is trying her hardest. She doesn't understand why we keep adding humans to our household, nor why they grow up to torture her with "love" and "affection". Ella continues to be obsessed with food/eating and protecting the family homestead. Ella's goals for 2016 are to shed as much fur as possible downstairs and to eventually jump high enough to get some food off of the kitchen island.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<b>Noelle</b></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
We're so fortunate to have been able to welcome our sweet little girl to the ranks six months ago. Noelle is one of the happiest babies we've ever known. She has a calm, watchful disposition and will typically greet you with a smile if you happen to catch her eye. She's the type that will trick you into having a third baby...not so sure about that! She's growing so fast and is likely to be tall like her big sister. She absolutely adores her big sister and has the best laugh ever. Nannie Mae thinks N will look more like Molly Ann but will have Jeremy's personality, while it's pretty clear at this point that Q is the opposite. N's goals for 2016 are to learn to eat real food, to sit up on her own, and to crawl and walk.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">

<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<b>Quinn</b></div>

There's too much to say about Q's year here, but moving from toddler to preschooler is no joke, y'all. Q still thrives in preschool and loves being part of the Squirrel class, where she learns alongside some of her best friends. At home, she lives her life in song and imagination. You'll rarely catch her sitting quietly. Q is always playing, dancing or running, typically while singing or humming a song (actual or made-up). She adores her baby sister and loves making her laugh. We're so excited to watch that relationship grow over time. Q enjoyed her dance class and soccer team in 2015, as well as a couple of summer camps (which helped keep Mama sane during those long summer weeks). Q's goals for 2016 are to learn to ride her "big girl" bike without training wheels, to tie her shoes by herself, and to start reading on her own.</div>

MA has the best job ever...being a mama and a wife. It's hard and there are days that seem to last forever, but she can't imagine being anywhere else in this season. The joys definitely outweigh the tough moments. Being on the front row to watch her little angels develop their relationship is the most magical thing in the world! When she's not nursing, toting Q around, cleaning the house, cooking, playing Little People or reading to her girls, MA somehow finds time to work part-time with her <a href="http://www.sylestineconsulting.com/">consulting business</a>. She also started doing a little work for Riverbend Centre for the Arts (the performing arts business that grew out of the church). With the time she has leftover, MA still helps J lead Couple Vision, serves with the Junior League of Austin in the Playhouse Singers (singing at nursing homes), serves alongside the board and volunteers of <a href="http://www.hopefullysow.org/">Hopefully Sow</a>, attempts to work out, reads, watches Gilmore Girls and tries to do fun things with Jeremy. MA's goals for 2016 are to make more time for J despite the demands of parenthood, figure out how to grow relationships with her girlfriends despite our crazy lives and schedules, lose the rest of her baby weight, focus on enjoying this season of young motherhood without complaining and get back to blogging (in her spare time...haha). </div>

<b>Jeremy</b></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
J loves being MA's husband and daddy to his two girls. There's seriously nothing better. Professionally, J became a court chief in October after receiving a promotion at the Travis County District Attorney's Office. After over seven years trying child abuse and domestic violence cases, he's happy to be managing a team of ADAs and handling some of the most serious felony cases in the county. In addition to that, he is in his fifth year as an adjunct professor at the University of Texas School of Law, where he is a co-instructor of the Prosecution Internship. J began serving this year as a board member for ACT Holdings, the economic development corporation for the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe. He continues to serve on the board of Hopefully Sow, a non-profit focused on serving children in foster care in the Austin area. And he and Molly Ann both help oversee Couple Vision, a growing community group of young couples at Riverbend Church. J's goals for 2016 are to run another couple of half marathons, to become a stronger leader at home and at work, and to be more intentional about his relationship with MA as parent-life becomes more demanding.</div>

It's funny...when you don't have any kids and you are pregnant w/ your first you have hours and hours to write about your pregnancy, how you feel, how the baby is growing (i.e. what fruit it is during a certain week), what you eat/don't eat, etc. BUT, when you have a kid and you are a work-at-home Mama and you are pregnant with your second, those hours and hours get filled up w/ more important things like work and spending quality time with the other kid. I guess all this is to say, with Q's pregnancy, I was an over-sharer...with N's pregnancy, this single post will have to suffice. I just wanted to make sure I documented some of it so I could remember and N would know she's just as special as big sister Q!<br />
<br />
<b>The News</b><br />
We tried for a lot longer for N than we did with Q. I think that happens a lot...people assume the first was easy so the second will be a piece of cake. We tried for about seven to nine months (Jeremy and I disagree, but I'm pretty sure I'm right here). Regardless, it wasn't the two we tried for Q and it got a bit frustrating and I was a roller coaster of emotions. I knew God had everything under control in His timing, but each month I didn't get preggo was torturous. I know a lot of women go through years of doing this and I shouldn't complain, but I do know the pain and I can sympathize.<br />
<br />
After trying ovulation kits a few months, I finally gave up and just left it alone for God to do His thing. Of course, that's when we got preggo! I took the test one day while Jeremy was at work and I got to share the news with him when he got home right before a date night. We have a message board in our bedroom that says "I love you...". We write things to each other on that board every once in a while and I surprised him by writing "I love you...for knocking me up!". He didn't see it for a few minutes and when he did, it was a double take with "Are you serious?!". We had a great date night celebrating after that and thus the journey to two began.<br />

<b>SO Tired</b><br />
Early on I had a lot of cramping. People said this was normal as the baby attached itself, but I was worried enough to call the doc. They had me do some blood work and it turns out my progesterone levels were low. I ended up taking progesterone for 10 weeks and the side effect was drowsiness. Thank goodness for my gut instinct but I was seriously so tired.<br />
<br />
Speaking of gut, the nausea kicked in this time around week six. Yay. Q's birthday party was on her birthday and I remember thinking I was going to hurl. We hadn't told anyone about the pregnancy except for my mom and Dennis (we wanted them to know early just in case something happened) and I felt like crap at the party. I put on a smiley face, but I was not in the mood for cake or screaming kids. I got some new medicine for the nausea this time around. During Q's pregnancy, I took Zofran and I HATED the way it made me feel. This time, I got Diclegis. It worked, but the unfortunate side effect was drowsiness. So, the combination of progesterone and anti-nausea meds made me a complete zombie. I just wanted to sleep all the time! Poor Q got used to me saying "You can watch Curious George for a while...I'm just going to rest my eyes." An hour and a half later, my poor 3-year old was still watching George. Thank the Lord for a sweet toddler who plays well by herself and doesn't get into trouble! Probably one of the memories that sticks with me the most is falling asleep on Christmas morning. We got up with Q, opened gifts, played with Santa gifts and I passed out on the couch. Merry Christmas family.<br />

<b>Gender Reveal</b><br />
We have such awesome friends (extended family really). They wanted to have a gender reveal party for us after the 10-week genetic test. It's crazy how early you can find out the gender these days. It was SO HARD to hand over the envelope to my girlfriends after I got it at the doctor. But, I was glad I held out because our party was so fun! We opened a box with PINK balloons! I really didn't have any feelings about the gender. When I was preggo with Q, I just knew it was a girl, but this time around I wasn't sure. Jeremy on the other hand was sure it was another girl. He had come to terms with the fact he would be surrounded by beautiful women the rest of his life...lucky him!<br />

<b>Weight Gain</b><br />
This time around I didn't gain as much weight as I did with Q. I pretty much expected this since I was busy chasing Q around and I did a lot more walking this time. I continued to walk Q to school even up to 30 weeks (3 miles round trip in our really hilly neighborhood). Plus, we always took long family walks in the evening since it wasn't too hot. The weather during N's pregnancy was SO different than Q's. During the summer of 2011, we had record-breaking heat...like over 100 basically all summer and into the fall. It was miserable to be pregnant during that time and impossible to get out and walk. Plus I was sitting at a desk all day eating whatever I could get my hands on. This time around, we had record-breaking rainfall (even some really devastating flooding) and it was so mild. Walking in the evening with a breeze felt amazing and I wasn't sitting at a desk all day...I was up and about playing with Q (which I much prefer). :) I think overall I gained about 40-45lbs. as opposed to the 65lb. with Q. I'm praying I lose that weight just as fast with breastfeeding and chasing two sweet girls.<br />

<b>Q's Reaction</b></div>
She did a great job the whole pregnancy. She understood that I had limits (bending over, running, etc.) and seemed very concerned about me. She would ask "Can you not do that because of that baby in your tummy?" She put things under her shirt and pretended to be pregnant sometimes and even breastfed some of her dolls. One time she told me "You can feed my baby, you just have to put her mouth by your boobie." :) Toward the end of the pregnancy, I borrowed a birthing ball and Q always made sure I had my ball to do puzzles with her, color or watch TV. She regularly walked up to me and kissed my belly saying "Hi baby sister!" I could tell throughout the whole pregnancy that Q was going to be an awesome big sister.<br />

<b>Mom Friend Support</b><br />
When I was pregnant with Q, I didn't have a lot of mom friends. This time around, I was surrounded by mom friends who were so supportive, helpful and generally let me vent about pregnancy. Several friends let me have/borrow maternity clothes and passed on lots of baby stuff to use when N arrived. I was overwhelmed by how kind people were. Several friends offered to get Q and give me a break, some of them made food for our family and I always had friends help me with physically hard things when we were at play dates. Lots of people say moms are judgy and mean to each other, but I have seen the opposite. I am so blessed by my community of mom friends...I don't know how I could do this whole mom thing without them!<br />
<br />
<b>Wishful Thinking</b><br />
There were a lot of things to be anxious about having another baby but the thing I dreaded most was having another c-section. The last one wasn't horrible, but healing from that while caring for a newborn, breastfeeding, not sleeping, etc. was not fun. I know there's no fun way to get a baby out of your body, but I REALLY wanted to have a VBAC. My doc was totally fine with it but it's dangerous to induce a VBAC so you have to go into labor naturally. I tried everything under the moon to induce labor but nothing worked. I wasn't dilating or anything! My doc swept my membranes twice (OUCH!!) and nothing was happening. Finally at 40 weeks and three days, we decided N was getting pretty big and opted for the repeat c-section to be safe. I would have loved the vaginal birth experience (not for some emotional, prideful reason...mostly for the healing time) but N and I are healthy and happy. Plus, I won't pee every time I cough!<br />

We were scheduled for 10:30am on Tuesday, July 7 and we ended up going in about an hour late. Jeremy decided going through hours and hours of labor would not have been fun since waiting for a few hours for the c-section was torturous for us! :) I knew what to expect since I'd done it before, but I was still nervous about the spinal. I had a spinal headache after Q's birth and sticking a needle in my back just sounds awful no matter how many times you've had it done. Despite my nerves, I made it through and they brought Jeremy in just in time. This time around, he didn't get a stool to sit on so he watched over the curtain the whole time (I can't imagine seeing my spouse cut open on a table). It seemed like it all happened so fast this time. My doc told me I'd feel pressure and then he said "She has dark hair!" Jeremy looked at me and smiled really big...I knew he'd won the gene war again! :) Our sweet angel was 8lb 12oz and 20 inches long. She didn't look as chubby as Q when she was born but she definitely looked like Q in every other way. Jeremy makes beautiful girls!<br />

<b>Recovery Craziness</b><br />
After I was all stitched up, I was taken to recovery. I rested there with my incredibly sweet nurse taking great care of me. After a while (I honestly don't know how long...maybe 30 minutes) Jeremy got to bring Noelle to me so I could nurse and love on her. Nursing my second kid seemed so much more natural than it did with Q. I remember the nurse having to show me what to do and shoving Q's mouth on my boob. Such a bizarre feeling for a first-time mom! This time, I took her and threw her right on. (That's not to say I didn't have INCREDIBLE pain and soreness later...just physically easier to manage breastfeeding this time.) Anyway, after I fed Noelle, the nurse laid me back down to push on my tummy to help my uterus contract. This was another thing I dreaded about the c-section...it hurts like CRAZY! Well, when she did it this time, a lot of blood clots came out (sorry TMI). She immediately acted concerned but told me maybe it was because I was sitting up a little feeding Noelle. She waited a bit and then tried again. Still lots of blood clots...apparently they call this hemorrhaging. At that point the torture started and my mom got really worried. She and Jeremy's mom were the only ones who were allowed to come back and I think seeing me like that worried her. She is such a wonderful mom...she immediately texted and emailed our prayer warriors to pray for me. God is good! The nurse called the doc who had already left for the day so the on call doc came and put me on Pitocin to get my uterus to contract. There was a lot more tummy pushing and torture. They tried another drug and that wasn't working either. Long story short, they finally got a mix of drugs to start working and thankfully gave me some awesome pain meds to deal with the torture.<br />

<b>Quinn Meets Noelle</b><br />
Our nurse for the day was so awesome! She let us sneak Q back to the recovery room even though no kids were allowed. She had a son about the same age and she empathized with us wanting Q to meet Noelle. Jeremy went and got her and the first thing she asked when she came back was "Why did the doctor have to cut your tummy?" She asked a lot more questions about my tummy and all the wires, tubes and "band-aids" and it was so sweet to hear her concern. After that, she was ready to hold little sister. She told us she wanted to sit in a chair and hold her. It was really sweet and I knew in that moment she would be great! Every time she was at the hospital after that, she demanded to hold Noelle...little maternal girl.<br />

<br />
Quinn got an awesome birthday present this year...Disney World! This is NOT the type of present she should always expect, it just happened to fall around her birthday. We decided we wanted Q to have the Disney experience by herself before another sibling came along. Plus, she is at the perfect age and if you know her, she is OBSESSED with Disney princess stuff. I'm not sure if I created this monster or if it just happened naturally, but if I never read another princess story again, I'll be okay. :)<br />
<br />
I should preface this post by saying I will NEVER go to Disney World in the first trimester of pregnancy again. I was about eight weeks pregnant and not feeling great. I was so nauseated and incredibly tired. All the smells in the park made me want to hurl and walking around/standing around in lines made me want to lie down in front of Cinderella's castle and take a nap all day. BUT, I made the most of it and tried to be a good sport. It made everything better to see Q's sweet face when she got to see all the magic of Disney.<br />
<br />
We decided to be crazy and leave on the earliest flight out on the day after Q's birthday party. We were all pretty tired (I was super preggo tired) but we got to Florida and hit the ground running all day.<br />

I think Q's favorite thing from the first day was the parade. We happened to be walking out of a restaurant right before it started, so we sat down and waited for the big show. We had great seats and Q was completely mesmerized by the floats and characters.<br />

After the parade, we made our way through the park meeting characters and doing some of the smaller rides. Apparently, a big thing for kids is to meet characters and get their autograph. Since Q has two perfectionist parents, we sort of made it a point to try to get lots of autographs and corresponding photos. We even got a little photo/autograph book and Q still loves to look at it and tell stories about meeting all the Disney friends.<br />

Our one big splurge for the trip was dinner with the princesses at the castle. We knew Q was at the perfect age for this and it gave her a chance to meet all the princesses in one sitting. She wore her Belle dress and fit right in! The food wasn't stellar (let's be honest, I could hardly eat anything at the time without feeling sick), but it was a fun night and Q even got a birthday cupcake.<br />

Day two was more of a lot of the same stuff. We saw some fun shows (Q's favorite was at the castle), met some great characters and rode some of the timeless Disneyworld rides. Some of the characters got Q a little freaked out but for the most part she loved them. She wasn't her normal chatty self, but she at least took photos with them. She still looks at her autograph/photo book and tells the "story of Disneyworld". Gaston was my favorite character. He played up the role of male chauvinist really well, and even wanted to make sure I got a pic with him to hang above our mantle as the new family photo.<br />

Another favorite character was the Fairy Godmother. She was so sweet and patient and spent some time getting to know each child. She found out it was Q's bday weekend and she gave us the inside scoop on where to get "fairy dusted" and get a special button. Q was so proud of her glittery hair! </div>

We ended our day meeting Tiana and Naveen (and Q was not impressed) and then finally, MICKEY MOUSE! Not gonna lie, he was a little creepy. His mouth moved when he talked and I couldn't figure out how he did that. Q was a little scared but she did okay all taking a pic together.<br />

Day three was full of fun at Animal Kingdom. It was nice being there because I think we were all so tired and it was a little more laid back (for Q's age). When she's older, I think she'll love all the rides, but this time was about seeing animals and meeting a couple of characters. We got to meet Pocahontas and go on a safari. One of our favorite things there was the Finding Nemo musical...it was really good for a theme park musical. Q was NOT a fan of the Bug's Life show which included some 4D stuff like smells and the feeling that little bugs were crawling under your seat. It wasn't my favorite, but it was cute. </div>

Notice every day ends with a pic of Q sleeping...I'd say that's a successful trip! Although I will NEVER go again in the first trimester of pregnancy, I can't wait to go back! Q talks about it all the time and I know she'll love it even more when she's older...with a little sister in tow.</div>

Yup. Disney Princess. I didn't go crazy with decor or anything, but I have to say the princess bouncy house was a huge hit. For a while I kept saying I didn't want the party at our house, but I realized it really is the perfect place for a party while Q is still little. We have a HUGE yard and the weather is always so pretty in November. We asked guests not to bring gifts, but if they wanted to contribute to Q's library they could bring a book. She did get one toy (which is a payback toy from Uncle Brad since Jeremy got their little boy the same thing), but she also got some awesome new books! Tons of family got to come in town...Q is one spoiled and blessed little girl!<br />
<br />
I can't believe our baby is three now. Such a little lady!<br />
<br />
Here are a few pics from the party...<br />

<b>Q's New School</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was taking Quinn to a Mother's Day Out at our church and we loved it. But, it was a 45 minute round trip drive three days a week and it didn't feel much like a mother's day out...it was more like a mother's day on the road. So, we moved her to a MDO at a church in our neighborhood and she absolutely loves it! Lots of her neighborhood friends are there and some are even in her class. Plus, we walk to school (about a three mile round trip) a lot and she gets to play after school lots of days while I catch up with my mom friends. Here she is starting the 2yr. old MDO class. So big (and as you can see by the headband, independent). </div>

<b>Dude Trip - Mom/Girls Weekend</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Our group of friends in Austin is pretty awesome. They are really like family. The guys decided they needed a weekend away, so all the girls planned a fun weekend at home. We met up at Phil's Icehouse for burgers and playing outside and then several of us tapped our inner artist and did some paintings. This was the first weekend we left Q with a babysitter other than family. We are lucky to have a sweet high schooler in our neighborhood whose dad is a minister at our church. Q loved her time with the sitter and Mama loved her time with girlfriends. Daddy had an awesome time golfing and bonding with the dudes...although I think they kept some of their stories to themselves. Let's hope the girls can come up with their girls weekend soon! </div>

<b>First Experiences - Art Gallery</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Jeremy and I have a friend from church who is an <a href="http://www.ashalmonte.com/">incredible artist</a>. She also happens to be the executive director of the nonprofit, Hopefully Sow, that we helped to start in the fall (more on that in a later post). Anyway, Ash did a live painting that was sold to benefit <a href="http://hopefullysow.org/">Hopefully Sow</a>. We took Q for her first fancy art gallery experience and she was mesmerized by the live painting. I love introducing her to cultural experience like that! Next up: the symphony! :) </div>

<b>Football</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Q had her fill of football this season. She got to go to two big Baylor games (our favorite being the TCU game) and a UT game with her dad and grandparents. She looks cute in both team's colors but let's hope she goes with green and gold in the end! (I think...then again, her college fund might only cover a year there once she's old enough...yikes!)</div>

<b>Beauty and the Beast</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well we've officially begun the Broadway obsession I've always dreamed my little girl would have. We got to take Q to Beauty and the Beast (the Broadway Across America version) and she LOVED it. She sat completely mesmerized through the whole thing and we still "read" the fancy program that we bought all the time. I see lots of fun NYC trips in our future!!</div>

<b>Halloween</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Q told me for a while she wanted to be a butterfly for Halloween. No clue why, but I was just happy it wasn't one of the Disney princesses. I was actually pretty surprised. We found a cheap costume at Savers (love me some bargain shopping) and she looked precious! Since BU Homecoming was the weekend of Halloween, we got to have some fun beforehand. Our neighborhood has a great festival and we all dressed up as a family. Jeremy and I actually won in the adult costume contest (let's be honest, there wasn't really any other competition) and we had a blast with our neighbors and their kids. Q also had a precious costume parade at school that I got to see. There were so many cute kids!!</div>

<b>Baylor Homecoming - My 10-Year Reunion</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am old. I can't believe it has been 10 years since I graduated from undergrad! There were lots of activities for the reunion but honestly I just wanted to see some of my friends I hadn't seen in forever. Some of my faves, Kristen and Matt and their precious boys got to come all the way from CO. They were both in BRH with me and I love them dearly! Q had so much fun playing with their boys and we all decided one of them can marry her (they'll have to fight over it). :) Another friend from BRH was ironically staying at our hotel, so her daughter and Q got to play together as well. We had a blast catching up with Anne at the parade and of course singing/worshiping at Singspiration. We also got to spend some time with Auntie Em and Taylor and of course Nannie Mae and Papa D. I love that BU Homecoming is a tradition for our family! </div>

<b>Big Girl Bed</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Q was getting pretty crowded in her toddler bed so we decided to finally make the move into her big girl room and her big girl bed. I had fun painting her walls a light plum purple but I still haven't found the perfect bedding to go with it. I'll find some eventually...the old guest room quilt is working well for now. The furniture in her big girl room is really special. It's beautiful, well-made French Provincial furniture that was actually my mom's when she was a little girl. My sister used it growing up and then I snagged it before my mom sold it in a garage sale. Painting it was a bit of a beast, but it was totally worth it...I'm loving it!! I realized when I was sanding that there were probably all sorts of 1960 toxins in the paint dust, so I made sure to cover my mouth and nose. Below are a couple of pics of the furniture...I'll post a pic of the completed room when it's done. </div>

Fall is definitely my favorite season, but when you have kids, it becomes so much busier (a wonderful thing). I savor every moment we get to be outside (the leaves were ridiculously gorgeous this year) and all the fun we have with our family, friends and community. </div>

Quinn was out of school (which was fun and a little exhausting), and we made the most of our free time.<br />

<b>A Baby Shower</b><br />
My brother and sister-in-law had a baby in July (more on that later) but in late May, we had a storybook-themed baby shower for her. We had so much fun planning the food and decor which included an "Oh the Places You'll Go" cake and book-themed food. I love celebrating babies and Q had an absolute ball playing with some of the older girls who are now her new besties!<br />

<b>Tough Mudder</b><br />
My crazy husband decided to put himself through about five hours and 10 miles of torture in the Austin Tough Mudder. I left Q with my mom and went to watch. Let's just say I will most likely never do something like that but more power to the folks who did. Among other obstacles it included mud pits that were impossible to crawl in (they spend 30 minutes trying to get across one), climbing other people to get over a wall, jumping in ice water, running through electrically-charged wires and attempting to go across monkey bars (covered in mud). I really can't complain but I should have thought ahead because I was a rookie Tough Mudder spectator. There were people with coolers, chairs, umbrellas, etc. I literally had a backpack with water and our phones. But, I had a great time cheering for the team and I'm really proud of J for finishing.<br />

<b>Dallas</b><br />
My best friend from high school moved to Dallas and I'm so glad to have her closer. Her hubby has been in the army forever so they always lived pretty far away. He retired and joined the "civilian" life (as he calls it) so now I get to see them more. She had twins this summer (more on that later) but she already has two awesome kiddos that Q loves! (What more could a girl want than a bigger girl w/ tons of dress-up clothes to play with!?) I wanted to visit them before the craziness of twins so we went to see them and hang out for a couple of days. I even got to catch up with a couple of other girlfriends from high school who were my besties! I love friendships that stand the test of time and distance!<br />

<b>Sisters Graduate</b><br />
My sister graduated from Baylor and Jeremy's sister graduated from high school this year. We had a great time celebrating both of them and they are both off doing wonderful things. Tylia is playing softball and going to school at Texas Woman's University (we are looking forward to watching her this spring). Emily has her first choral directing gig in the Ft. Worth area where she is the head choir director for a middle school. We are so proud of our sisters!<br />

<b>Pool/Movies/VBS</b><br />
We spent a lot of down time this summer going to the pool and Q became a little water bug. She got really brave once we got her the Puddle Jumper and I was so glad she felt more comfortable than she did last summer. We did a few weeks of swim lessons with a high school girl in our neighborhood and learned some basics. Next summer, we'll start some legit swimming. We also spent some time going to the Alamo Drafthouse free kids movies this summer. We saw Mary Poppins, Annie and An American Tail. Q did great! I'm sure the popcorn and milkshakes helped. HAHA Some of our favorite times this summer were spent hanging out with friends and having play dates. I love seeing the excitement on Q's face when I tell her we are going to play with friends. Let's be honest, they are way more fun than Mama. In June I got to volunteer at our church's VBS and I had a blast! It was so fun to share this with Quinn and I'm looking forward to when she is old enough to go into the "big church" to participate in the big kid musical.<br />

<b>Colorado</b><br />
The highlight of our summer as a family was our trip to CO with our good friends. We absolutely love summer in CO and we went to Durango this time since we've never been there. We rented a condo and enjoyed the weather, grilling out, strolling through town, visiting the steam train museum, spa treatments, golf, board games, the girls playing together and we even got a date night since Allison's aunt lives there and kept the girls. Since we were there over July 4th, we had a great time watching the town parade, riding in a horse carriage and having a backyard grill-out before watching fireworks come up over the beautiful mountains. Q was so brave on this trip! She jumped on a trampoline with a harness and she did really well during the fireworks. It was her first time to see them and she was a trooper! We are so blessed to have such amazing friends to travel with!<br />

<b>Maggie's Birth</b><br />
I was so excited to welcome my first niece into the world (on my side) this summer. I can't believe my brother has a little girl. So crazy! Q and I went to Odessa with my sister to be there for the big event. Maggie has a lot of people who love her so we had a great time chatting with the whole family. While we all waited at the hospital, Q got to spend the day with Mimi who completely spoiled her. So funny! When Q got to hold Maggie, she didn't want to put her down. It was really sweet! I can't wait for those two sweet girls to play together and be best cousin friends!<br />

<b>David and Sarah Are Back</b><br />
We are SO DANG EXCITED to have some of our best friends back in the US. David and Sarah spent four years in the UK and they finally came back AND moved into our neighborhood. We love having them here and it will be so fun to see our kids grow up together in our hood. We celebrated their return with a whole weekend of fun! The girls got mani/pedis and the guys played golf. Then we all hung out at David and Sarah's sweet new house in the pool, eating yummy food and generally having a great time! Nothing says fun like a bunch of grown-ups wearing goggles and making ridiculous faces.<br />

<b>Dallas (Round Two)</b><br />
We had three reasons for going to Dallas for a second time this summer. 1. My sister moved into her sweet new apartment and we wanted to see it and hang out with her. 2. Amanda had her twins! 3. Jeremy had a conference so we just tagged along. We had so much fun playing in Dallas! Q got to watch Sleeping Beauty every morning while I worked, we took advantage of my sister's resort-style pool, saw old friends and held babies! Now that Jeremy's sister is in the Dallas-area too, I have a feeling we will be going up there more often.<br />

<b>Labor Day at the Lake</b><br />
Our last hurrah for the summer was spending time with family at the lake. (It's actually more like what used to be a lake, but they have a pool at the house.) We stayed at my sister-in-law's family lake house and had a blast swimming, eating and of course holding sweet Maggie. Q had fun playing with Maggie and torturing the poor dogs who just wanted to chill out. I love that we can all just hang out as one big happy family (our family and Abby's gracious family).<br />

<b>Potty Training</b><br />
I think our biggest news of the summer is that Q finally decided to be potty trained. It was a bit rough for a while there. She just didn't want to take the time to go. At one point I went in her room when she was supposed to be napping and she had just squatted in her bed and pooped. Lovely. I tried so much shameless bribery (including new Barbies, chocolate, cookies, etc.), but I think what worked in the end was making her hang out without anything on her bottom (pull-up or panties). I had tried that early on, but for some reason it worked better later in the summer. I think it bothered her enough that she went on the potty. She hasn't had too many accidents and it's so nice not having to carry a diaper bag, buy diapers and worry about accidents. WOOHOO!<br />

Whew! Typing that out reminded me of how busy we were. Despite our crazy busy schedule we had a lot of fun days just playing at home, watching movies at home and of course playing with our neighborhood friends. But, this tired Mama was glad when school started...working from home with a toddler is a bit of a challenge, but I'm so lucky to be able to do this.Molly Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09210770258070185769noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5031350646029988557.post-70388050903618470002014-10-17T14:27:00.000-05:002014-10-17T14:27:19.145-05:00QuinnismsI can't keep up with Quinn and how fast she's growing, learning and generally cracking us up. J and I started a note in iCloud that we can both add to: Quinnisms. We have to take note of all the funny things she says and does before we forget. We were watching old videos of her recently and it's crazy how fast we forget the cute little things she does because she's moved on to other cute (and some not-so-cute) things.<br />
<br />
Here are a few Quinnisms we've noted lately:<br />
<br />
<b>All Dolled Up</b><br />
The girl always has something on that makes her look like an old, rich widow with lots of jewelry. I feel like she just needs some bright red lipstick and she'll be set. Necklaces, bracelets, crowns, poofy dresses, aprons, etc. Sometimes I'm like, "where did you find that?!" She changes clothes 12 times a day and it's ALWAYS A DRESS. We have fights almost every day about what she's going to wear. She's almost three people...what will adolescence be like for me!!? She wears her crowns/tiaras upside down so they look like a visor and for a while she walked around with one "glass slipper" because the other one broke. She didn't let that stop her! She loves putting make-up on with me and insists on wearing deodorant when I put some on.<br />

<b>Saying Normal Things in a Funny Way</b><br />
Q is so verbally advanced (blessing and a curse...mostly blessing) and she wants so badly to explain everything and say big words. Here are some examples:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>"That's not the it." - means, no I don't want to do what you just said. (Go to bed, brush teeth, clean up toys, etc.)</li>
<li>"I did that lasterday/lasternight." - means any time in the past. Could be a month ago, could be an hour ago.</li>
<li>"Congladurations!" - means congrats. We used this with both her aunts this year who graduated from college and the other from high school. I think it's a great mix of congrats and graduation.</li>
<li>"I have my compenance." - means she has a suitcase similar to <a href="http://vimeo.com/76689371">Maria's from Sound of Music.</a> If you haven't seen it, Maria is leaving the abbey and she takes a suitcase with her while singing the song "I Have Confidence". Thus, in Q's world, she's carrying her confidence (or compenance).</li>
</ul>
<br />

<br />
<ul>
<li>"My foot is sprinkly." - means her foot is asleep. She had the most disgusted look on her face the first time she told us this. It took me a minute to figure out what she was saying and I think it's a perfect way to describe it!</li>
<li>"I want a name about a story about..." - means she wants us to tell her a story about ______. No clue where this one came from.</li>
<li>"Can you tell me?" "What did you just say?" "Why?"- means she likes to hear us say things over and over, and over and over and over and over and over again. OR, she wants to turn things around on us and be the adult. After we repeat, sometimes she'll say "Good job!" Little stinker!</li>
<li>"Chocolate soup with sprinkles and chicken salad with soup." - that's what she's always cooking or plans to order at a restaurant. Not gonna lie...chocolate soup sounds pretty dang good to me. :)</li>
<li>"Where's the pirate?" - means plane pilot.</li>
<li>"That bird's name is Silence." in Sleeping Beauty, Maleficent yells "SILENCE!" when her bird is squawking. So for all we know, maybe that is his name.</li>
<li>"That toy is broking". Broken.</li>
<li>"I want to go connect acorns." Collect.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<b>Talking Just to Talk</b><br />
The girl is always talking or singing. She likes the sound of her own voice so she'll just make stuff up. Here are some of the things she has said just trying to have a conversation or hear herself talk:<br />
<br />
-Tell me the secret of my poop.<br />
-Don't do that every time again.<br />
-And the Lord God said, God made the Lord.<br />
-Daddy, I don't have eyebrows.<br />
-Hip, hip for Ray.<br />
-I'm the runnest faster you've ever seen!<br />
<br />
<b>Her Faves Right Now</b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>T.V.</b>: Curious George, Super Why, Daniel Tiger, Sesame Street (we don't have cable so those are the options without me having to do the whole Netflix/Hulu/AppleTV thing).</li>
<li><b>Movies</b>: Mary Poppins, Sleeping Beauty, Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, Sound of Music, Mulan and Frozen</li>
<li><b>Food</b>: yogurt (asks for it every morning), fig bars, cantaloupe, Rosa's, Rudy's, tomatoes, cucumber, peaches, apples (no peels), banana and PB, popcorn, berries, milk, peas, pizza, Cheerios, cheese, spicy Cheeze-Its and Pirate's Booty.</li>
<li><b>Books</b>: Morris the Moose Goes to School (she has the whole thing memorized...I had to renew it from the library so we could keep it longer), Curious George Collections, Disney Princess Collections, Adam and Eve, Clifford, Bible stories (David and Goliath, Jonah, Noah, etc.), Train Story, Strawberry Shortcake books, these old Disney books I had when I was a kid that teach colors and numbers. On a side note, she chooses the longest books ever...smart girl.</li>
<li><b>Play</b>: this summer she was a little fish in the pool but she can't quite get her head up when she's swimming w/out floaties (love the Puddle Jumper), tea parties, reading on her own, dressing up, cooking for me, Play Dough, Barbies (the Disney Princess ones and one other that we call Bath Barbie because that's where she plays with her), playing with Dot and dressing her up, playing outside when it's not too hot (c'mon fall), collecting acorns, "cooking" with me and making all sorts of concoctions.</li>
</ul>

<br />
<ul>
<li><b>Sing</b>: she makes up songs all the time and asks me to make up songs all the time, "Once Upon a Dream" (from Sleeping Beauty), Let's Get Down to Business (from Mulan), Beauty and the Beast, Hillsong "Forever Reign" (she calls Running to Your Arms), "That's How You Know" (from Enchanted), "Compass" (Lady A), songs from Frozen, Sound of Music (always) and she's always making up songs to the tune of "Frere Jacques".</li>
</ul>
<br />
<b>Sweetness</b><br />
Despite her crazy toddlerness, Q is such a sweet girl!<br />
-When she gives us a big hug she goes "mmmmm", like it's the most enjoyable thing ever.<br />
-She prays for herself to make good choices.<br />
-She wants me to hold her hand a lot now and I love it.<br />
-When she's throwing a fit for no reason (a normal thing lately), she will eventually just give up and start crying "I need a hug!".<br />
-She will randomly come up and tell us she loves us now.<br />
-She is very sweet to Ella and talks to her like she's the mom and Ella is her baby.<br />
-She is very much a rule-follower so she will tell on herself. She told me not to find her one morning because she was under the dining table with the jack-o-lantern full of candy.<br />
<br />
<b>Not-So-Sweetness</b><br />
Well, she has reached the point of negotiating. J always tells her he doesn't negotiate with terrorists. One night, she told him (after putting her to bed three times), "Daddy, here's what you can do for me. Go sit in the rocking chair so little children can go to sleep." Oh Lordy. She tries to negotiate with me all the time. She just wants to play a "liiiiiiitle bit longer" or have one "liiiiitle bit of candy". Her new phrases of negotiation are "Well, ______," or "I'll just ______". I have no idea where she gets her independence. :) She's also getting a little almost threenager sassiness. She will yell at us or say something mean, but she is also very quick to apologize. I love that about her! We just have to help her understand that an apology doesn't mean she gets a privilege back. She still has consequences. One last thing: the girl is bossy. Her teachers and others have said "Oh, I think Quinn will be a teacher or a CEO." Oh dear. But, we are embracing it and know it's a good thing for later in life.<br />
<br />
Oh, Q. Stop growing. You are at such a fun age right now (most of the time) and I can't get enough of your cuteness. I mean, let's be honest, some days we do get enough, but as Olivia's mom says "You know, you really wear me out, but I love you anyway!"<br />

It seems like it's the only day I don't feel guilty for taking some time for myself or feeling spoiled. I'm lucky that Jeremy does a great job at that!<br />
<br />
It feels weird being celebrated. Don't get me wrong, I went through a lot being pregnant and giving birth and I deal w/ a lot now with a toddler, so a day off is nice. BUT, none of that compares to the gift of being a mother. If anything, I want to celebrate my child and the blessing she is.<br />
<br />
<b>The Weekend</b><br />
<br />
Saturday, we spent some time sprucing up our flower beds in the back and I planted flowers. On a side note, I was scared of planting flowers because of the whole <a href="http://msylestine.blogspot.com/2014/04/that-time-i-got-poison-ivy-or-sumac-or.html">poison ivy fiasco</a>, but I made it out clean! :) Anyway, our back patio/beds look pretty good now and hopefully I can keep everything alive for a while. Fingers crossed.<br />
<br />
After that, Quinn and Jeremy took a nap and I showered and took off. I was so excited to just go walk around stores and browse in silence. Amazing. My mom met up with me for a while and then my sister joined us just in time to shop a little more and have dinner.<br />
<br />
After dinner, the three of us headed to Painting with a Twist to see how frustrated we could become at a paintbrush...I mean, paint together. Painting with a perfectionist personality is not easy, but somehow Emily and I got over it and made some pretty good infinity crosses. My mom was just so excited to have us both there, she didn't care. She drank wine, painted and chatted it up with a friend who was there.<br />

The only thing I didn't like about that place was that you couldn't pick your own colors. I mean it makes sense because they teach you by telling you what to do w/ each color, but I can't figure out where to hang my painting because of the dark colors. My house is bright and happy. Hmmm...this might end up being a gift (which I probably shouldn't mention on a public blog).<br />
<br />
Sunday was so great! Q and Jeremy brought me my first ever breakfast in bed. I felt so spoiled and I loved not having to get up and immediately be "on". Q was so funny...she kept telling me that was my special treat and daddy was bringing hers. He did a great job making cinnamon roll waffles and fruit...pretty impressive! Q also brought me flowers and a Kendra Scott bag to open. Gotta love a hubby with good taste.<br />

We went to church and met up with the family and had brunch afterward at Manuel's. After brunch, I got to head out to get a mani/pedi and sit by myself at a salon. I was tempted to play on my phone or read a magazine, but I literally just sat there staring into space/people watching and eavesdropping. (Those are both special talents I have...spiritual gifts if you will.)<br />

That night, I met up with two of my best girlfriends to see "The Other Woman" at my favorite theater with recliners and people who wait on you, literally, at the push of a button. It was a perfect girl's night and perfect end to an awesome Mom's Day weekend!Molly Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09210770258070185769noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5031350646029988557.post-26836546312311353602014-05-22T15:10:00.000-05:002014-05-22T15:12:31.888-05:00Strawberries and Quality Time<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

When I reflect on how hard it is to be a work-at-home mom, God always seems to bring things into perspective with days like this one. This is why I quit my full-time job...so I could have these experiences with Quinn! I know I'm blessed to be able to do that, and I'm so thankful every day!<br />
<br />
A couple of months ago, I asked my mom to take a day off work to go pick strawberries with us in Marble Falls. She happily took the time off and we had an awesome time!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We headed out to Marble Falls to <a href="http://www.sweetberryfarm.com/">Sweet Berry Farm</a> (same place we went for the pumpkin patch in the fall). I had never seen strawberries on a vine so it was such a beautiful site to see rows and rows of bright green and red. It was also a slap-in-the-face reminder of my horrible brown thumb (or whatever the opposite of green thumb is). </div>

<br />
Quinn picked a few strawberries and then quickly preceded to eat them. I let her have a couple and then told her we had to pay for them first. Since she'd lost interest in picking, she just played in the dirt while my mom and I picked the brightest, biggest strawberries we could find.<br />

<span style="text-align: center;">After we picked, we let Q do the "bouncy thang", as she calls it, and then we said hi to the goats (who desperately wished they could have our strawberries). We tried to get Q to ride the train, but she wasn't having it. She wanted to just watch and wave. </span><br />

It was a gorgeous day, but it was getting warm so we headed out to get some lunch in downtown Marble Falls. My friend, Allison, recommended a great place since her hubby works out there and we loved it! If you are ever in the area, check out <a href="http://noonspooncafe.com/2014.htm">Noon Spoon</a>. It's a cute little lunch spot w/ awesome fresh food and terrible parking (they admit it on their sign). Q was awesome at lunch, and she was so proud of herself for making a cross with her toothpicks.<br />

We drove home after that and somehow managed to keep Quinn awake so she napped when we got home. Woohoo!<br />
<br />
Since we had a plethora (love that word) of strawberries, I took to Pinterest to find recipes. After passing by some healthy smoothies and whatnot, I decided to make strawberry donuts and they are my favorite thing I've ever made. OMG. So much deliciousness in one little ring. <a href="http://www.cookingclassy.com/2013/02/baked-strawberry-doughnuts/">Here it is</a> if you want to try it. They are baked so they are totally healthy, right?<br />

Well, he's about a month too late since it's been a month since I got it (or sumac or poison oak or some other plant from hell).<br />
<br />
Jeremy had a mild case the week before I did. I was so paranoid that the oils from the plant were somewhere else in our house, but Q and I somehow managed to stay clean.<br />
<br />
The next weekend, we did some work in the front yard. I had never used a weed eater before and I decided to trim back the lantana in front of our yard since it was all dormant and brown from the winter. I kind of enjoyed weed eating...something about it was therapeutic. BUT, that little plastic thing that goes on top (to keep stuff from flying at you) was coming loose. Since I am a genius, I decided to just take it off and keep going.<br />
<br />
At that point, stuff started flying up at my legs and arms (Jeremy was smart enough to give me some glasses to protect my eyes). It stung a little, and I thought "Hmm, I will probably have some scratches on my legs, but this is so fun, I'm going to keep going."<br />
<br />
I'm not sure what got me, but I had a major allergic reaction to something. It started out as little bumps that sort of itched, to full-on torture. It itched and burned so badly all the time! I couldn't sleep and I would try not to scratch w/ my fingernails so I ended up just rubbing so hard that I caused bruising.<br />
<br />
It has been a month and I still have remnants on my skin.<br />
<br />
The best part...I haven't shaved my legs this whole time (I mean, how was I supposed to?!). Yesterday, I wore shorts and I could feel the wind blowing through my leg hair. Awesome and sexy, I know.<br />
<br />
Here's what I learned:<br />
<br />
1. Don't do yard work in shorts and a tank top. Basically you should cover every inch of your body with something and pray. A lot.<br />
<br />
2. That plastic thing on the weed eater is there for a reason.<br />
<br />
3. If you get poison ivy, sumac or oak, here's what works best:<br />
-A paste made of baking soda, salt and ground up oatmeal relieves the itching and burning (temporarily)<br />
-Ocean Potion ICE works wonders on the burning<br />
-Tecnu scrub helps with the itching and takes away the plant oils<br />
-Calamine lotion also helps relive the itching and burning (I had to apply it a few times a day)<br />
-JUST GO TO THE DOCTOR!! I learned the hard way. I waited a week and finally went. I'd had it w/ the itching and not sleeping. She gave me a steroid and an anti-itch pill that helped. It didn't go away immediately, but it helped a lot.<br />
<br />
4. I don't know why people don't use this as a form of interrogating criminals. Give them poison ivy, let them get to the burning and itching point and then they will tell you anything you want to know to make it stop. Seriously...I could be in the FBI.<br />
<br />
Enjoy the graphic pics below and burn them into your brain as a warning. Don't mess with these plants...they are for real.<br />

We had such a fun Easter! It was so special to be able to talk to Q about the true meaning of Easter. I know it's still a little confusing, but she'll get there.<br />

Friday, Q didn't have school so we were able to play and hang out with my brother and sister-in-law at my mom's house. Before heading over there, that morning I decided to do an Easter craft just for fun! Auntie Em and her boyfriend Taylor were there too and my step dad and mom had the day off. Poor Jeremy was the only one who really worked. :) That night we went to dinner and then all hung out at our house playing Taboo and laughing hysterically!<br />

Saturday, we got up and went to the Easter Eggstravaganza at church. Poor Quinn still wasn't feeling 100% so she wasn't really into the egg hunt (or drop as we should really call it). Poor baby got another fever so we headed out to eat lunch and let her nap.<br />

The guys went to play golf and my dad came in town to play with them. We spent the rest of Saturday relaxing and enjoying family time while Mom and Dennis slaved in the kitchen making an Easter dinner complete with ham, mac and cheese, beans, salad and chocolate chip cookies (I seriously lost count of how many I ate). While we were hanging out that afternoon, I painted Q's toenails for the first time (a SUPER light pink color that you can hardly see) and she felt so special.<br />

My mom gave Q her Easter present early so she was in heaven. A Cinderella Barbie complete with glass slippers. I. Hate. Those. Shoes. Q must have taken them off and put them on no fewer than 1,000 times in an hour. AND, she would lose one every other time. My mom kept saying over and over again "I think we need to glue her shoes on" and I might agree at this point! It was just so funny to see her try one on partially and say it was like Drizella.<br />

Sunday morning was so fun. The Easter Bunny brought Q a Barbie and some other useful things like a loofah, bubbles, Cinderella shirt, chocolate and a squirt gun. Again...I hate Barbie crap already. I mean really, why do they need so many tiny accessories.<br />

<b>Marshmallow Jesus</b><br />
I'd read about resurrection rolls somewhere and decided to try them with Q. Basically you pretend a marshmallow is Jesus and a crescent roll is his tomb. You "prepare" Jesus' body by dipping Him in butter and then cinnamon and sugar. Sounds odd, but it was an interesting way to explain how people used to use spices to prepare bodies for burial. Then, you close marshmallow Jesus in the crescent roll tomb. The oven acts as the three days in the tomb and then, voila! Jesus isn't in the tomb anymore! He's alive! Q was so excited and she told everyone who came in the kitchen that morning that Jesus wasn't there any more. :)<br />

We all went to church and had an awesome time of worship and celebration. I bawled my eyes out during one of the songs because it was the song we played at my Margaret's funeral (a video of my cousin Aron and me singing "I've Just Seen Jesus"). I love our church and our pastor had an awesome message of hope and grace.<br />

Since it's Spring Break and Q doesn't have school, I was looking for all sorts of stuff to do. Austin's rodeo and fair is in town and they have some cool stuff for little ones. My friend from Volusion, Ruth, had some passes and she invited us to join her with her sweet baby James.</div>
<br />
Honestly, I think I could have just walked around the rides and food booths for an hour or so and Quinn would have been happy. When we first walked in, Quinn said "Oh, it's beautiful!" We need to work on her taste in beauty, but for a toddler, I'm sure all those lights, spinning rides, stuffed animals, etc. were pretty cool.<br />

We went to the petting zoo where we met some of the most aggressive animals ever! They were seriously food driven and one mule deer was literally eating my scarf. I had to pull it out of the dudes throat! We eventually made it to the smaller animal section and the kids loved the baby goats.<br />

They also had pony rides, and then we walked through the show barn to see the winners in all the categories including pigs, goats, cows, longhorns, sheep, rabbits and llamas. After that we headed to the pig races where these precious little baby pigs raced around a track all for the prize at the end: an Oreo. Pigs after my own heart! :)<br />

For lunch, I had a corn dog and Quinn had some nachos quickly followed by her first funnel cake! Woohoo! Mom of the year! :)<br />

We had a great time. It did get a little expensive, but not too bad considering it entertained us all morning and Quinn got to experience some more "firsts" in her little toddler world. Highly recommend it!</div>

<b><br /></b>
<b>Speech</b><br />
The girl can talk...really well for her age apparently. I'm so thankful for an early talker (most of the time). Wink, wink. She is sort of a perfectionist about pronouncing things the right way so she's pretty articulate. She still says some really cute stuff though. She calls Maria from The Sound of Music "Murry-a", and Chic-Fil-A "Chickafay". Also, she can't say her "Ls" so they come out sounding like "Ys" a lot (i.e. "just a yittle bit" or "Yet it Go" from Frozen). Recently, we started working more on the Ls and she tends to over-do it a little...she's a perfectionist and she can't stand to say something the wrong way. (video below)<br />

<b><br /></b>
<b>Imagination</b><br />
Q likes to pretend more now than ever. She wants to be a certain princess and she wants us to be someone else. She gets pretty creative with the stuff she uses to play as you can see below with her princess dress and Elsa gloves (from Frozen). Her favorite toys are still her Little People friends, books, stuffed animals and her BFF, Ella (who she calls Sebastian half the time).<br />

<b>Snowed/Iced In</b><br />
Speaking of Frozen, we've been snowed (iced) in a few days in the last month which made for some interesting days of finding stuff to do. We took Q to see her first movie, went to the aquarium, made popcorn and watched movies and just bundled up to play.<br />

<b>Questions...Oh the Questions</b><br />
Sweet, curious girl is full of questions. When we are in public, she is always pointing and saying (loudly) what's his/her name? Who's that? What's he doing? Where are they going? That looks kinda like [insert name]? Many times, she'll ask when she knows the answer and she'll ask over and over and over and over. I finally just ask the question back and she answers. I'm waiting for the "why" phase that everyone talks about. I've started to get a little nervous in public that she's going to ask an embarrassing question about someone who might look or act differently. Austin is definitely the place for that...I see a lot of interesting conversations in our future. :)<br />
<br />
<b>Life is a Song</b><br />
She still lives her life in a song. The funny thing is how random the songs are. She will have a song in her head that we haven't been listening to, but she might hear a word that sparks her memory. She is starting to match pitch better and better and she breathes rhythmically (musicians, you know what I mean). She doesn't pause to breathe...she'll breathe while singing by skipping a word. So cool! Below, she randomly starting singing Bob Marley. It happened to be a rough morning so it was kind of perfect!<br />

<b><br /></b>
<b>Surprises</b><br />
Q surprises us w/ her super-smarts all the time. Jeremy and I will look at each other and say "Did you hear that?" or "Did you see that?". Her memory is ridiculous...a little scary actually. Example: One day, she was complaining about the snack I gave her (after she asked for exactly what I gave her). I told her to be grateful and thank God for the food she has since there are children in Africa who don't have food and are hungry. It was sort of me spouting off while I was doing dishes and I didn't think she was really listening. That night, I was putting lotion on her and she didn't think I put enough in her hand. She always says "I want BIG lotion." I told her to be thankful for the lotion she had. Then she said "Cause children in Africa don't have lotion?" OMG! I died!<br />
<br />

Hello Family and Friends,<br />
<br />
This year has been pretty incredible and God has blessed us in many ways!<br />
<br />
If you don't keep up w/ the blog, here's a quick update on where we are as a family.<br />

<b>Jeremy</b> is still a prosecutor for the Travis County District Attorney's office. He works in the child abuse division of his office, so his job is hard, yet deeply rewarding. It doesn't make for good dinner conversation, but he loves what he does. In addition to his day job, he's also on the faculty for the UT Law School. Yup! In the fall, Jeremy leads a prosecution clinic on Wednesday nights for the interns in his office. He really enjoys the educational part of that job and it's great to be a mentor to the law students. Jeremy continues to lead our couples class at <a href="http://www.riverbend.com/couples">Riverbend, Couple Vision</a>, and does a great job facilitating conversation and helping young couples grow their faith. In February, he will run another half marathon and most likely enjoy some ice cream and a good cigar afterward. This past year, Jeremy got to have some dude time in Ruidoso with his buddies and I'm hearing rumors of a Vegas trip or two in 2014.<br />
<br />
<b>Molly Ann</b> quit her full time job! That was the biggest news of the year. I quit my job at Volusion in June to be a WAHM (work at home mom). I now work part time for Zirtual as a virtual assistant. Basically, I am an online assistant for a handful of people. Examples of things I do include: Salesforce administration, booking trips, editing content, shopping (my fave), scheduling meetings and doing research. It's fun, flexible and most importantly, I get to spend time w/ Q. I am still an active member in the Junior League of Austin, and my placement this year is with <a href="http://www.breakthroughaustin.org/">Breakthrough Austin</a>. It's an organization that helps low-income high school kids who want to go to college. I continue to enjoy my BSF (Bible Study Fellowship) that meets once a week. I also help lead Couple Vision (sort of) and I am the room mom for Q's class at school. Since I quit my job, I have really enjoyed getting to know the other moms in my neighborhood. It has made me love our neighborhood even more and has me excited to see Q grow up w/ the kiddos we're meeting. This year I got to take two fun "mom only" trips. One was to Kansas City with some of my best girlfriends, Jill and Allison. The other was to NYC to hang out with some of my other best girlfriends, Stacey and Crystal. I love traveling and I hope 2014 brings lots more!<br />
<br />
<b>Quinn </b>is 2 going on 21. My goodness that little toddler girl. She goes to school three days a week (MWF) and loves her teachers and friends. She talks a lot. Like a whole lot, and most people tell us how impressed they are w/ her language skills. She loves Cinderella, Snow White, Sesame Street, her Fischer Price Little People, being outside, doing everything by herself, eating avocado, Goldfish, apple sauce, scrambled eggs, ketchup and soup, she is highly entertained by Ella and still hates riding in the car. We're truly blessed with such a richly curious and sweet child, and are so excited to see how she grows in 2014!<br />
<br />
<b>Ella</b> is just Ella. Poor sweet 6-yr. old Ella just puts up with so much from Quinn. She is still one of the sweetest, dumbest yet smartest dogs we know. She drives me crazy half the time, but then she looks at us w/ those "Precious Moments" eyes and we melt. We love that sweet dog and she'll always be our first child together.<br />
<br />
Merry Christmas to you all! May the Lord bring many blessings to you and your family in 2014.<br />
<br />
Love,<br />
The Sylestines<br />

We had a blast in Livingston for Thanksgiving. We stayed with Jeremy's mom, Renae, and we got to visit lots of family.<br />
<br />
First of all, we decided to compare a photo of toddler Jeremy and toddler Q. It's uncanny really. I mean c'mon.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Thanksgiving day, we watched the parade, hung out in our pjs and then got dressed for Renae's family to come over for lunch. We stuffed ourselves full of delicious food and then just hung around the rest of the day while Q napped. That evening we headed out to the reservation to see Jeremy's dad and some of his other family. Quinn got to play a little with her cousin, Annaleigh and then we headed back to Renae's.<br />

We may or may not have eaten pie and ice cream for dinner that night.<br />

The rest of the weekend we visited with family at Jeremy's Aunt Debra's farm/ranch, Jeremy played golf with his dad, Jeremy and I went to the movie, Quinn and Granny played in the leaves and we got to go to church with Renae to see her debut on the conga drum (or something like that) for a choir song. She did a great job!<br />

We love having Renae back in Livingston. It's fun to visit a small town where most of Jeremy's family is centrally located. Plus, let's be honest, it's much more quaint and relaxing than Houston.<br />
<br />
Driving there was okay but driving back was a bit rough. But, we did let Q partake in the tradition of getting DQ ice cream on the road. She got every last drop before sleep-crying herself to sleep. Haha!<br />

Quinn turned 2 and I never wrote her official 2-yr. blog. Here are some great and some not-so-great things about little toddler Q. I can't believe it's been two years...holy cow!<br />
<br />
<b>Living Life in a Song</b><br />
My mom tells me I used to sing all the time...sometimes w/out even knowing it. Poor Q inherited that gene and the girl sings all the time. It's like she always has a song stuck in her head...real or one that she made up. We'll ask her to sing a song and she'll say "Ok, it goes like this...". She wakes up singing to herself most of the time. Oh that sweet little singing voice...I could listen to it all day. (Oh wait, I do.) :) Also, she continues to be obsessed with the Sound of Music and knows pretty much every word to every song.<br />

<b>2-Yr. Molars. Yay.</b><br />
These sucked. She was grumpy, wouldn't eat much, slept restlessly and was generally unhappy. She got the bottom ones first and about two weeks later the top ones. So it was like a month of Monster Quinn. That's all really...it just sucked.<br />
<br />
<b>Almost Surgery</b><br />
I'll keep this short. Q got a little pyogenic granuloma on her face. She scratched it and it bled and bled and bled and bled and bled. It seriously wouldn't stop. We took her to the pediatrician who referred us to a dermatologist who referred us to a pediatric surgeon. I decided to see a pediatric plastic surgeon who decided she would just keep scratching it and it would just keep bleeding. So, we went in for surgery early one morning and THEN the plastic surgeon decided it was getting smaller so he decided to have us just watch and wait. So we went and got pancakes instead and we'll just see how it does. Funny part of the story: I was out of town when she first scratched it and I got a text that said "Don't freak out but..." with the photo below. Mom freak-out moment.<br />

<b>Quinn Quotes</b><br />
She is getting to where she says the funniest things. I love having conversations with her just for the surprise factor. Here are some of the great things she says (some of them very typical toddler quotes):<br />
<br />
"No, stop it."<br />
"Quinn do it by a-self!"<br />
"Um, yeah." (we're working on yes ma'am and yes sir)<br />
"No, I don't." (very matter-of-factly when we ask if she wants to do something)<br />
"Mama, you okay?" (randomly...little parrot I guess because I ask her that sometimes when she coughs)<br />
<br />
She also repeats a lot of what we say now so we have to be careful.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Telling Stories</b><br />
Q's new favorite thing at night is for Mama or Daddy to tell her a story. We'll say "Once upon a time..." and then just make something up. Many times it's about a beautiful little princess named Quinn and her family and friends. Other times she specifically asks for stories. BUT, the funniest thing is the way she asks. I have no idea where she got it, but she says "I want a name about a story about...". No clue, but it's pretty cute. Also, when she asks for a story, she basically tells the story while asking. For example, she'll say "I want a name about a story about Snow White, handsome prince, cottage, seven dwarves, mean old witch, poisonous apples, Snow White, Doc, Dopey, mean old witch, seven dwarves?! Okay?" Sooo funny!<br />
<br />
<b>Food</b><br />
She's getting more and more picky. She won't eat meat unless we give her a big glop of ketchup to dip it in and even then she won't eat much. She still eats some healthy stuff, but most the time I think she could live on carbs. I puree spinach and/or grate squash in eggs, smoothies and soup so she can get some veggies. Sneaky Mama! Here are her faves at the moment:<br />
<br />
Nutrigrain bars (which she calls Nutrigranny bars)<br />
PB&J (Peana-jelly samich)<br />
Yogurt<br />
Goldfish<br />
Broccoli<br />
Soup<br />
Eggs<br />
Smoothies (Smoovies)<br />
Avocado<br />
Hot dogs<br />
Turkey/Cheese Sandwich<br />
Apple sauce packets<br />
PB and banana<br />
Apple slices<br />
Beans and rice (yes we eat Mexican a lot)<br />
Cucumber and ranch dressing<br />
<br />
<b>"Watch Something, okay?"</b><br />
Sometimes Q will want to watch TV. Really anything...she just likes sitting on the couch w/ one of us and watching something. Her faves include (thank goodness for Apple TV and YouTube):<br />
-Heigh Ho (from Snow White)<br />
-Someday My Prince Will Come<br />
-The final scene from Cinderella (she always screams "HANDSOME PRINCE!!" and "FITS PERFECTLY!")<br />
-Sesame Street songs with guest artists<br />
-Hakuna Matata<br />
-Spoon Full of Sugar and Supercalafragalisticexpealidocious (spellcheck)<br />
-Opera songs<br />
<br />
<b>Mama Quinn</b><br />
Q is already so maternal. She still rocks and covers her babies and lately she has been standing and rocking them and singing "Twinkle, Twinkle" before she puts them down for bed. So sweet!<br />
<br />
<b>Humble Chatty Quinn</b><br />
The girl doesn't stop talking and she'll talk to anyone. She likes to show off. When people come to our house to do things like our maids (whom she calls Maria and other Maria), carpet cleaners, etc., she follows them around narrating and telling them all about her life. Everyone hears about her "beautiful princess dress" and all her toys, their names, our pets, etc. People think it's funny and then they say "wow she talks really well". We hear that a lot...she enunciates and speaks very clearly for a 2-yr. old apparently.<br />
<br />
<b>Friends</b><br />
Quinn has lots of real friends but she also plays very well with her pretend friends. Some of them include: all the Little People (Snow White, Cinderella, Seven Dwarves, etc.), Dot, stuffed animals like Princess Sparkles, Lucy, Baby Rose, etc. Yes, we name everyone and she knows them very well. I love hearing her play independently in the living room while I'm working in the kitchen. She's usually lining everyone up and singing songs, using her doctor kit on them or telling them to eat dinner with their little table.<br />

<b>Nighttime Fun</b><br />
Lately, Q has been waking up and wanting to play in the middle of the night. She whines and cries and then gets out of her crib and gets scared walking around in the dark so we get her and put her back. When we ask her why she's crying she says "I want to get down, I want to go downstairs and play". Um, no. Not at 3am. Thanks. She's also getting really good at delaying bed time. If she's not throwing a fit, she wants to say good night to everyone and everything before we put her in (including inanimate objects like the door, the kitchen, the couch, etc.) "I say goodnight to kitchen and downstairs and door and couch and rug and Christmas tree and other Christmas tree and Ella and Daddy?" HAHA...it makes me laugh but I know what she's doing.<br />
<br />
<b>A few other things to note: </b><br />
-Q is suddenly obsessed with the Curious George storybooks we have. We have to let her pick a couple to read before bed.<br />
-The car is getting a little better, but not great. She gets in a little easier now if we let her buckle the top buckle. Road trips still suck.<br />
-She's started doing this thing where she just looks at Jeremy or me at dinner and smiles really big. Hearts. Melted.<br />
-She eats in her tower a lot. I have to mention that because that eye sore is one of the best purchases we've made (thanks Craigslist). I love that she can watch me cook, play with play dough, eat, color, etc. while I'm doing stuff in the kitchen.<br />
-Clothes: 2t bottoms, 3t tops (she has a long waist like me), size 7 shoes, size 6 diapers<br />
-On that note, we are talking a lot about the potty but she's not interested yet. I'll push it more when she shows interest.<br />
-She likes to pretend she's a ballerina and when I tell her to plie she does it!<br />
<br />
We love that sweet girl so much and she makes us laugh all the time. She acts so grown up sometimes and it makes me a little sad that my baby is getting big. But, every new stage of her life has been so much fun despite the challenges. Parenting is hard and awesome at the same time. I wouldn't trade my mom body or sleepless nights for anything in the world. I love that sweet girl!<br />

Quinn had an awesome 2nd birthday party. We just hosted it at our house and of course the theme was Sesame Street! I didn't do much for food or decor since it was at 3pm and I went all out last year. This year was a little more laid back. With some decorations from Walmart, homemade goody bags (thanks Pinterest), some Sesame Street stuffed characters and our trusty printer, we had the place covered! Oh, I can't take credit for the precious Sesame Street signs. Thank the Lord for my super-crafty friends, Allison and Jill! Love those girls! </div>

We were lucky some friends had a huge blow up slide that we could borrow and the kids had a great time with that and the swing, house and plastic slide we already had. (I need to take advantage of this age where they are easily amused.)</div>

We love this sweet 2-yr. old so much (despite her mood swings and general toddler-ness). I can't believe it has been two years!! Time flies!</div>

<br />
1. Daddy took the day off.<br />
2. Granny had come in town the night before.<br />
3. We got her some glass slippers and a Baby Katy to replace her lost one.<br />
4. I got her some goldfish!<br />
<br />
She loved her goldfish and Baby Katy, but she was SO excited about her glass slippers. She loves watching the last scene in Cinderella where the glass slipper fits perfectly. Then Quinn screams "Handsome Prince!!" So funny! The slippers were way too big, but she didn't care.<br />

<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;">After a yummy donut breakfast and some hanging out at home, we all went to the mall so Granny could get Quinn a Build-a-Bear. She loved watching the whole process, picking out a sparkly dress and shoes and of course putting the bear in its box. We named our bear Princess Sparkles. I just loved that Quinn picked out a bear that looks like the Baylor Bears. The brainwashing is totally working! :)</span><br />

That afternoon, everyone napped while Mama worked and then we met up with Nannie Mae for dinner at Rosa's. Only in this family do we celebrate with a dinner at Rosa's! Haha! Quinn got pretty tired at dinner and refused to take a pic w/ her two grandmothers, so we got a lovely princess crying pic.<br />

Quinn had an awesome birthday and I felt so blessed all day to share it with her and make her feel special. I love that sweet little toddler girl (even when she makes me crazy)!<br />

We went to the Riverbend Fall Festival, the neighborhood Halloween festival, carved pumpkins and then of course we went trick-or-treating. Quinn was the most beautiful Snow White princess.<br />
<br />
The first time I put her dress on she was not a fan. We talked about it and she was excited, but when I got it on, she wasn't too happy about the tuille. But, she got used to it (I may or may not have bribed her with candy corn).<br />

It was raining that day so they had to move everything inside. It was fun but with all the games, food and bouncy houses inside it was really chaotic and overwhelming. Quinn was really hesitant and a little scared of some of the costumes but she managed to do a few games. She even let one of the volunteers blindfold her for a game. I couldn't believe it! Jeremy had to teach his law school class that night so Nannie Mae and Papa D went with us. PS. She ate Cheetos and candy for dinner that night.</div>

We got to walk to our neighborhood park and play at the festival. Quinn was still skiddish around the creepy costumes so we didn't stay long (and J and I had a date night that night). We had fun chatting with neighbors and seeing some fun animals with the traveling zoo guy.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We had such a fun Halloween night! Some of our good friends' came over and Quinn was beside herself getting to trick-or-treat with Sully the monster (a.k.a. her bff, Declan). I love seeing all our friends kids grow up together...like cousins really. Of course poor Ella was tortured all night in her rodeo bull costume. When were were out trick-or-treating, so many people took pics of our dog. It was hilarious!</div>

<br />
Quinn has the best Daddy! He took a day off work to go to the Sweet Berry Farm pumpkin patch. We had so much fun and the photo opps were awesome!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.sweetberryfarm.com/">Sweet Berry Farm</a> is outside Marble Falls so it took us about 45 minutes to get there. It's normally a berry farm (hence the name) but in the fall they have all sorts of fun activities. We spent about $12 and we got to decorate our own pumpkin, play on the bouncy thing, ride the barrel train and feed the goats. They also have scarecrow stuffing and some other random stuff, but we decided that was plenty for a toddler.<br />
<br />
I'm really glad we went on a weekday because the people there were telling us the weekends are crazy. We didn't have to wait in any lines but one guy said last Sunday, there were about 1300 people there at around 2pm. People were parking on the highway and walking up there. I can't even imagine doing all that w/ a toddler. No thank you! But, I definitely recommend it on a weekday for older kids.<br />
<br />
<i><b>So the picture below is the first one we took all day. It was me demonstrating to Quinn how she could hold a pumpkin and take a picture. "Cheese!" Little did I know, I was flipping Jeremy off. HAHA!! We both died laughing when we looked through the pics!</b></i><br />

We had so much fun at homecoming this year! Jeremy took Friday off and we got to meet my good friend Julie and her hubby Ryan in Waco for lunch. I was so excited to see Julie since she's preggo and I hadn't seen her in forever. I love reconnecting with old college friends at homecoming and she's a special one!<br />

Side note about the hotel: it sucked. We waited too long to book a room and it's about the only place we could find. It's a <a href="http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g2064953-d2064884-Reviews-Days_Inn_Robinson-Robinson_Texas.html">Days Inn outside Waco in Robinson</a>. Don't stay there...it was so gross. I might be a little bit of a hotel snob, but they could have at least put a mattress pad on the mattress. The flat sheet they laid on top of the mattress didn't do the job since our feet were touching the mattress at the foot of the bed. EW! I curled up my legs just so they wouldn't touch. Sorry...tangent. But seriously, don't stay there!</i><br />
<br />
Anyway, Friday evening we had an early dinner at Ninfa's and then we headed to Singspiration. This is one of my favorite homecoming traditions since I was in BRH and directed it for a couple of years. It's an awesome, intergenerational worship service geared toward BRH members old and new. I always love getting up to sing w/ the alumni at the end and Quinn did pretty well. She made it until about 8:15 and then Jeremy took her to the hotel. We were totally "those people" because any time the choir would sing, Quinn would say "choir sing". Oh, did I mention she has no inside voice. She pretty much yell-talks. So there was that.<br />

After Singspiration, my mom, Emily, Dennis and I headed to the bonfire (a pep rally). I can't wait for Quinn to see this one day. They also had fireworks and of course she'd love the marching band.<br />

My mom, Emily and I had tickets for the 10:30pm (yeah, we are crazy) Pigskin. I LOVE this show! It's a song and dance review put on by the frats and sororities. Before heading over there, we hit up Common Grounds for a pick-me-up. I have so many college memories there so it made me happy!<br />

<br />
<br />
Pigskin lasted FOR-E-VER! I got back to the hotel at about 1:30, but it was worth it to see the fun acts.<br />
<br />
We had planned to go to the parade Saturday morning, but a cold front was blowing in and it was 48 degrees and windy. Plus, I didn't sleep well (if at all) the night before due to an alarm going off at the McDonalds next door to our hotel. Oh, and the nasty mattress/sheet situation. SOOO, we went to get breakfast at Cafe Cappucino instead! This is my favorite breakfast spot in Waco and they recently opened a new one in Hewitt (Waco suburb) so we didn't have to fight the homecoming crowd. I love little suburbia secrets like that.<br />

That afternoon, we hit up the Cameron Park Zoo and I totally recommend it! We had a blast!! Highlights include: the talking macaws, the giraffe, the little boy seeing an alligator and FREAKING out running to his mom and some screaming monkeys.<br />

Later that evening we go to see another special college friend, Anne! I miss that girl and I'm so glad we get to see each other pretty much every year at homecoming. Life gets so busy, but I can always count on that visit.<br />
<br />
Saturday evening was full of football fun! Quinn LOVED the football game and kept pointing out the marching band. She danced and clapped and had an awesome time. Plus, the Bears won! Sic 'Em!<br />

At halftime we decided to head back to the hotel. On the way there, I said "Let's just go home." Jeremy happily agreed and we were home in our cozy Tempurpedic by 10:30 that night. Words cannot describe how happy I was to not be in that nasty hotel. Plus, we woke up Sunday and had a lazy family day. We went to Rudy's in our PJs for breakfast...best day ever!</div>
