look what i found!

They really keep you on your toes don't they? One second I'm changing her diaper and turning away to grab the wipes, then the next second my little lady has her fingers all up in her business!

Whoa. Didn't really know that they "found themselves" that young, but hey to each their own I guess. I know it's perfectly natural and you're eventually supposed to teach them the difference between private and public actions, but she's still learning that cows go Moo.

So in the meantime I guess it all yours Miss Murphy!

Oh, since it wasn't quite appropriate to film her new discovery, I have added pics of her finding a much more G rated body part. :)

are you going to have another?

Apparently once your first child has reached the ripe old age of one people begin asking you about the prospects of another; assuming that you are on the path to building the average 2.5 child family.

What people tend to forget is that I was not expecting this one (the love of my life) or the other two that came along with the gig (2 beautiful and outstanding young ladies). So as far as the 2.5 kids thing goes- I am pretty sure that I've already got that covered.

But for humors sake lets go ahead and do the math.

We have Michaela every other weekend. - Approximately 4 days a month and in the summer lets say a total of 40 days more or less. Total: 76 days out of the year.... 76/365 = 21%

Now Alexandria is a whole differing equation. One that I don't think I can even generate.

So between 3 children...I'd say we actually only have 1.5- if you go directly by time spent.
(Which please note that 2 kids barely equal 1/2 of a full time child- how disheartening is this!)

Now in our hearts and all reality we have 3 amazing girls and a full family. So the answer to the question: Are you going to have another? is obviously NO, my plate overfloweth.

miss you...again

Eric coming home was much needed, it had been over 3 months since we'd seen him last. But for some reason his leaving has been extra difficult this round. Maybe its because I know there's a chance we won't see him again for months... Maybe because I've seen Soph grow up so much and I hate for Eric to miss any of it.

All I know is that this past week has been rough. All I really want is for our little family to be together. I love how Sophie Mae remembered her daddy after all that time had passed; it was absolutely beautiful to see the two of them together.

But we're proud of you babe and again...we miss you.

love is: little girls with giant pigtails

I realize now that it took me far too long before I started actually 'doing' Sophie's hair. But it was worth the wait, because her pig tails are the cutest thing I have ever seen! I love them, and actually miss them since we've been venturing on a more mature/toddler type do.

Oh, but they were magical; and the taller the fountain the better. I'd actually wait til her hair was totally dry before we attempted the 3" piggy. It was no easy task making sure they stood straight up or out. It really required the perfect scrunch technique and correct positioning on her noggin.

Oh Soph, those were the good 'ol days.... :)

we're baaaaaaack....

While I have gotten quite lax on blogging daily about my superstar, I will admit that I have kinda missed throwing my thoughts out about momminess and sophiness. I actually quit blogging for a bit because I thought it was hurting Eric's feelings too much to read and see pics of Soph while he has been gone for so long. But in all reality he needs to see his changing baby.

So me and Soph are back to share our cute new pics and stories. Cuz there is nothing I love more than talking about this little lady!
