Swayze says... No, Thanks.. I attempted to give Swayze cereal last night.. to no avail.. She wasn't too interested. Campbell was tasting it by the time he was 4 1/2 months old, so I thought maybe Swayze should try it to. I think I'll wait a few more weeks and try again..
We woke up Christmas morning to rain.. That rain later turned to sleet.. Cooper and I both said how cool it would be to have a white Christmas.. It wasn't an hour later and there was snow everywhere! I think Campbell has seen more snow fall in his two years of life as I have in my twenty five years of life.. Supposedly we're going to have one of the coldest winters on record.. Dang global warming (insert sarcasm)...
These are some of my favorite pictures I've taken of the the kiddos. I wish I could play the sound to each of these pictures that was taking place while I photographed them. I think you can get a good idea. Lots and Lots of giggling...
This is a little late, but for Scrapbooking purposes I will post it anyway. We celebrated Campbell's second birthday (yes, I said second) on Saturday December 18th. He was a little under the weather, but still had fun! I can't believe he is two! He's getting so big. Happy Birthday, little man!
Truth be told, I've been dreading the day we had to get rid of the paci. Campbell had become rather attached to the ugly little thing. (By the way, Swayze prefers his paci but since it's so big and ugly she has to use something different and a little cuter.) Anyway... Ever since Swayze joined the family, Campbell has been walking around with a paci hanging out of his mouth and his "B" (blanket) wrapped around his neck. Cooper has been saying for months that we needed to get rid of the thing.. Campbell's teeth are just a little messed.. ok, so maybe they don't even touch in the front.. He's still cute. So, we decided Campbell had to get rid of the paci in December.. I chose this time because Cooper would be home for two weeks and I figured we could use teamwork... Actually I chose this time because I was afraid I would pull all my hair out and I didn't want to be bald by myself.. So why not let Cooper pull his out with me? And I honestly was prepared for it to take at least two weeks to get him off of it. Well, Monday I decided that it was time. I'm not really sure what came over me. I guess God gave me a little patience that day.. I don't have much. After a 45 minute ALL. OUT. FIT and I'm talking rolling around in the floor fit. The paci is GONE! Campbell has asked for it quite a few times.. I tell him we no longer have paci. His reply is "ahh" followed by "uh D paci" meaning.. does D (Cooper's dad) have a paci? Then we go through all the family members.. BeBe, Daddy, Mama, Cacky Pappy... "No baby, BeBe, Cacky, Daddy, Mama, and Pappy don't have pacis either." He then says "uh hayze?" "yes darlin, Swayze has a paci because she's a baby.. you're not a baby anymore" He says "ahh" and then we start all over. If I try to ignore it, he gets louder and louder. Long story short, the paci is gone. Next up.. getting him in a big boy bed...
Tuesdays have become a ritual. I go into town and pick up Granny ("Ganny" as Campbell calls her) and we go back out to the house for the day. She plays with Campbell while I clean. Those of you who know me, know that Granny raised me during the summers. Not because she had to, but because she wanted to. I spent most of my summers traveling with Granny and Pop. I have so many memories that I will always cherish! I look forward to every Tuesday. Not only because I can finally get my house clean for the week, but because I get to spend precious time with my Granny! Every moment she gets with my kids is cherished.. Just like the picture below. This picture reminds me of Granny's tender loving heart and the love that I know she has for me and my children!
