G Spot

Ok, so first get your mind outa the gutter! = )~ Last night we were at my mom's sitting outside. Teresa was fussing a little, her tired fussy cry. She finally found her thumb. We were watching her and all of a sudden she layed back and her eyes rolled back into her head and then closed. Mom and I laughed. We called it her finding her 'G Spot'. SHe was just so relaxed and so she finally fell asleep. It was so cute/funny. So, of course, I had to take a picture of this and post the explanation. haha A whole new meaning.

Painting, Margaritas, and Mexican Food

Friday night was girls night out with all my mommy friends. Tonight's adventure was Paint A Dream. This is a place where you pick a pottery item and paint it. Then on 'Ladies Night' they bring in food and have some sort of drink. Tonight's theme was 'Margaritas' and Mexican Food. I say it was 'Margaritas' because it tasted like 90% mix, but the food was good.
I chose a pottery wine glass to paint, naturally. Others painted things for their kids. Me? I think about myself, not them. Oh well! I have not picked up my item yet, but we shall see how it turns out. I'm sure I'll take a picture of it and post my master piece.

Jumping The Gun

Well, Sunday we had decided to put the girls in the same room since Teresa was sleeping through the night. Well, the first night was great. The second night she made some noise and didn't wake Mary up. The third night she was up and fussy at 5:30 and woke Mary up and then I had two kids up and not going back to sleep. SOOOOO I decided to keep my sanity we had to move Teresa back into the office. She had grown out of the bassinet, so we had to move the pack n play in there. We have 3 pack n plays, thanks to all our friends and kids all grown up. So, we moved things around and put the bed in there. Last night she slept great in there, until almost 6:30 AND Mary wasn't up early either. SOOOO, we shall wait a bit longer before we keep them both in the same room. If/when we have guests over who need the bed in Teresa's room, then we'll put them together for a night or so. It all seemed too good to be true the first night, and it was. Oh well. Live and learn!

One SIngular Sensation

Growing up Amy and I watched the movie 'A Chorus Line' 10,000 times. Every time we went to Grandma's house we had to watch it. We knew all the lines and all the dances. The play has been touring and was here in LA a while ago. We missed that time, but it was playing out here in our valley at our local theater. SO, it was the last weekend of the showing and I had to go. We were supposed to go down to San Diego to visit some friends, but she ended up sick so we didn't go. So, it was meant to be, I had to see it. I called up mom to make sure they could babysit and we bought tickets. It was our date night.

We went to dinner before hand and then made it to the 8:00 showing at our local city college. It was great! We had a super time. I was dancing in my seat. It was definiatlly one singular senation!

CHUNKY MONKEY

My little chunky monkey can't make it past 3 hours, on the dot, to eat when she has been awake. So, i thought since she's 3 1/2 months old we could try some cereal to eat. Well, let me tell you, it was a hit. At first she wasn't too sure. She gave me this look like 'what the heck are you putting in my mouth mom?'. Then as time went on she was putting her bib in her mouth in between bites because she wanted more. She took a bit to figure out what to do with her tong, but figured it out. And then I'd give her some bottle in between to wash it down and then she was really confused because she had to do something different again. All in all she loved it. She's on the floor right now talking about it to that pretty girl in the mirror. Let's see how long she lasts until the next feeding. Ok, I know this isn't going to help her chunky-ness, but it will help me with buying formula and washing bottles. Yes, it's all about me!

The picture below is her passed out last night after a long day. She could not be more passed out on my lap. It was super cute. She weighed more than 15 pounds as dead weight.

sharing

Well, Mary isn't one to share. Typical for a 2 1/2 year old. Well, Teresa has been doing good sleeping through the night. We've had her in a bassinet in the office since she was born. She is now head to toe in it and needs more room. SO, we already had Mary's room set up for the two of them to share. Yesterday I made sure everything was set up so we could try them out together for the night.
Mary goes to bed at 8:30. I give Teresa her last bottle about 9:30 and then put her down. So, I had to creep into the room to lay her down. It went OK, Mary didn't even budge when I went in. Teresa slept through without making a peep. About 6:00 I hear her start to move around. So I'm thinking what's going to happen with Mary. Well, when Mary was alone we'd shut the door all the way. Now that I may have to go in and out, if needed with Teresa, I just propped it closed. Well, Mary noticed that and opened it and came walking to our room. She proceeded to turn on the light, that was kinda bright. Kevin was not ready to get up. I was up already.
SO, tonight we'll have to think of something else with the door. Baby gate or just close it. Probably just close it.
We shall see.
Well, it's morning now and I put Teresa down for a nap in her new bed in "Mary's" room, well Mary is NOT happy about it now. We'll see how this goes. OH WELL!!

3 months officially

Well, my baby is officially 3 months old. Such a chunky monkey she is. She has some thunder thighs to be proud of. The only age in your life you can be proud of your thunder thighs. Why is it that is it is cute when you are little, but not so much when you are older. NOT FAIR!
Anyway, she continues to grow like a little weed. She gets cuter by the day with her smiles and coos. When she get sin the mood she can really talk to us. It's so cute.

12 WEEKS

Can you believe it's been 12 weeks already?! Teresa is growing up so fast. 12 weeks of pregnancy seemed like a life time. But it doesn't seem like she's been around for 12 weeks already. She has sure changed a lot in 12 weeks. She smiles all the time now and will laugh and giggle. It's so cute. She's a lot of fun. We have been sleeping through the night off and on. Sometimes with a little help. I will have to go in and put the paci in her mouth and she'll go back to sleep. But I will not feed her in the middle of the night anymore. She's got enough chunk on her to keep her going all night long. She's growing out of her bassinet so I'm going to have to put her in the crib in Mary's room soon. It will be interesting. They will have to sleep next to each other in the motorhome in 4 weeks. So, it will be an adventure.

Mary is such a ham. I'm trying to take more picture of Teresa and Mary has to be in them. I was looking at albums of Mary when she was a baby and I have TONS of pictures of her and not too many of Teresa so far. So, I have to be more on top of it. It's hard. I see why they say the second child has no pictures of them. It's true. I will try to be better, TRY!

Let Me Wine About The Last 4 Years

This weekend we decided to take a trip up to Paso Robles to do some wine tasting for our 4 year anniversary. Grandpa came to pick up the kids at 7am on Saturday and then we were outa there soon after that. We had to get there by the time the first winery opens at 10:00, Tobin James. Well we made it there with 10 minutes to spare. So, instead of sitting in the parking lot like a couple of drunks, waiting for the bar to open, we drove 5 minutes past it and then turned around. Well, by the time we got there, there were already three cars in the parking lot. SO, we were not the only ones waiting. We spent about an hour there and then were off to our next winery or two. Then it was off to check into the hotel and take a nap.
After our nap we were off to one more winery and then we were done. It had already been a long day. We decided to go back to the hotel and just rest and enjoy our no kid time. The next day we had our rout planned on what we were to do. Off to Christian Lazo who opens at 10. We were there right on time, as always, and no one was there. HEY! So, then we had to look at the map and see what else around there opened at 10. Thank God there was one, one we actually had never been to before. So, off we went. IT was a nice place after all. Then we went back to the first one and he was there finally. We ended up spending almost an hour there. It was just the wine maker and us. Most places were like that on Sunday, so it made it a lot more enjoyable. Well, also because there were no kids running around to chase in between tastings.
That afternoon we decided to switch hotels to the Paso Robles Inn downtown. We could then walk around downtown and not have to worry about driving or taking a cab. They have a few wineries around down town to go to. It was fun. Then we had dinner at the Steakhouse in the hotel. In bed by 9:30 and up by 6 or so. Our bodies are set to that time no matter where we are. Oh well.
On the road we were to get back home to relieve mom and dad and Kevin had to get to work. It was a great quick weekend get away. Nice to enjoy the time to ourselves and enjoy some nice wine. Thank God for my parents to give us that time away, much needed time.
Ok, I had to take pictures of some of the food we had. I sound so old talking about the size of the food or what it was, but it was funny.............................

This was my 'side of fruit' for breakfast. It was amazing so I had to take a picture of it.

I had to take a picture of my 'Turkey Balls' I actually ate. It wasn't too too bad.

This was our side of onion rings. They were huge.
