No Ta!

Today is my birthday, while driving the kidkets around Talia made a funny noise. Uzzi yells, 'no, ta! It's not your birthday! You have to work for it!' 

Multitasking

Uzzi: Mama! I want you to hold me and not hold Tali! 

Me: Uzzi I can hold you too. 

Uzzi: you can't hold two kids at the same time! 

Me: yes I can, look... 

(I pulled him on my lap next to his sissy) 

Uzzi: oh! You can! 

What's that smell?

Me: ew, what smells like pee? 

Uzzi: it's probably my penis.

Two steps!

Tal took two little steps today! I was so excited I was practically yelling 'yay!!!!!' 

Peekaboo

Tal started putting things on her head and playing peekaboo 

 She also for sure says mama and yeah. 

Phone call.

Uzzi made a pretend phone call to nana, this is how it went down. "Hello, nana! Honey? No I don't have any! Goodbye!". 

She claps!

9/24/14 

I've been trying to get tal to clap and she finally did it today! 

Standing

Two days from seven months & the girl started practicing standing. 

4am

4 am. Night from hell. 

You know your kid has screamed too

Much when a fellow camper can be heard saying, 'oh come on!' They must not have kids. Except maybe they do because I feel the same way. 

She just finished her third ...? (I've lost track) round of screaming- she apparently doesn't like camping as much as I do. Just when Jeremy and I are going to lose it- her cry slows and ends in one final protesting raspberry blow.... Pplllllllllleeeeeeeiuuuuuwwwwwwe and she's sound asleep. 

We laugh. Goodnight. Maybe- except for now I gotta pee. *head desk...or head stump I suppose because there's not a desk out here in the woods. 

Can you hear it?

"Do you hear it?", My son asks as he puts a shell up to my ear. 

"Do you hear the water? It's just a shell...".

"Can you hear it?", He asks again as he pushes his face against my face, ear to shell to ear, cheek pressed hard on mine. He gasps, "I can hear it! It's the ocean just in time! ....but it's just a shell."

I was just thinking

Uzzi said a word he's not aloud to say. I explained it was a bad word. He then asks, 'what is a bad word, I was just thinking?'. I explained to him what a bad word was. 'Okaaaay.' He said. I guess he understands. Lol. 

Some firsts aren't fun.

Girl got her very first fever- :( she got a nice bath last night to cool her down & even sick she's cute as can be! 

Ataliyah: 6 months.

My crazy little determined girl. She's crawling like a champ now, gets herself up to standing, and can sit up easy as can be. She's quick to smile- wakes up and goes to sleep with one on her face. She truly is a joy. She has started to really get into interacting with us and her brother- reaching up for me to pick her up, crying harder if she knows it will get her desired result that much faster- and she's got her papa wrapped around her little finger. 

She had avacado for the first time this week- although she's been eager to eat for a long time. She also got a taste of blackberries as we picked and some apple to chew on as she seems to be teething. 

She sleeps like a champ! Not anything like her bro in that department. 

She's talk and skinny. 

She's sweet as can be. 

I can't imagine my life without her- she brings immense joy to our lives daily. What a beautiful blessing she is, my bright eyed little girlie. 

Uzzi makes up stories.

Uzzi is in the bath with a couple trains and some other toys. I walk by and hear him say,

"'oh no! FLOAT!', Thomas cried."

What does the bird say?

"Is that the birds? You know what they said? 'Get out if my blueberries, get out of my blueberries!' That's what they said!"- Uzzi. 

Too many police videos

Jeremy likes to watch videos on YouTube involving police & traffic stops sometimes Uzzi watches them with him. Today he is pretending a laundry basket is his car. He hops into it and immediately says, "I'm free to go!". Ah Hahahahhaha 

Things Uzzi says

'You wanna share with me, mama? I'm so happy with you.'

Burp

Uzzi just said, "mmm my belly is full, I shoulda burped!"

Are you kidding me?

"Are you kidding me mama?" 

"No...."

"I think you are. I think you are mama!"

A favor.

Uzzi: "Mama can you do me a favor?"

Me: "Sure bubs. What do you need?"

Uzzi: "need a favor."

Me: "Ok- what's the favor?" 

Uzzi "It's a favor. Will you do me a favor?" 

Me: "Yeah." 

Uzzi "Do me a favor." 

Me: "..."
