I'll take that one!

I know children show preference for foods pretty early...you know, ugly faces when the pea and spinach baby foods are spooned their way. I didn't really know what age kids show a preference for clothes though. Aubrey has been upset when I have tried to squish her foot into a shoe that's too small just because I didn't want to admit that I had to purchase yet another pair of dress shoes, or she has fussed when a shirt was too itchy...but
STIPES OVER SOLIDS?
That is something I wasn't expecting. A couple of days ago I was putting a solid, pink tank top on Aubrey and she motioned for me to take it off. (actually by whining and trying to take it off herself - I am clued into her language now) After I took it off, she walked over to her striped tank top and put it over her head, attempting to put it on herself. Well, I put it on her and she seemed so happy. The shirt SHE wanted was on her!
That's not all...
She was eating dinner in it and a little bit of food got on it so I put it in her dirty clothes basket. The next day she brought that same striped shirt to me (that she had drug out of the dirty clothes basket) and attempted to take her existing shirt off. I thought it was so cute that I put the striped shirt on her the next day. Here is a picture of her in her favorite, dirty shirt for the second day in a row. I guess she just likes to wear stripes like her daddy.

Curiousity killed the cat you know?

I was looking through some of my past youtube videos I posted and saw one from exactly a year ago. It was amazing to see how much Aubrey has grown this past year - no more scooting on the floor - SHE IS SPRINTING NOW!


Forgive my knees getting in the way every now and again. I was scooting on my back on the floor to get this perspective.

Happy B-day Mrs. Fallo!

I post this to celebrate Megan's (my dear friend's) birthday. I hope you have a fun and wonderful day!

A great carpet cleaner

Yesterday, we decided it was time to get a carpet cleaner (don't ask why). I had been borrowing Charlotte's (my sister-in-law's) for long enough.
IT WAS TIME! I had remembered that Drew had bought one for her for a reasonable price but I was blown away to go to Walmart and to see most of the carpet cleaners for $150 (of course these had attachments on them an everything) and then I saw the same one I had been borrowing from Charlotte, $68!! It was AWESOME! Lightweight, easy to use and put together, easy to clean. I am posting this because I thought it might be helpful to those of you who are unsatisfied with your carpets, for those who have dogs/husbands who track dirt/mud in on a daily basis or kiddos who like to spill kool-aid. This cleaner is called QUICKsteamer® Lightweight Deep Cleaner and I am a fan. So there it is, my product approval for the week.
Stay tuned for more helpful hints...

Happy B-day Angie!

Have a wonderful day!

Due March 30th

For those of you blog readers who don't know yet: I'M PREGNANT! This has been me for the past month because having a growing baby inside me is exhausting!
YES, we are excited about it and wanted to have a second little one around sooner than later. We are so grateful that God has blessed us with another child (yep, just one in there). Pretty much everything is the same other than that. Aubrey just had her 18 month appointment a week ago and is doing great! (she will be about 2 years and 1 month when her brother or sister is here). And no, we are not finding out again so you will just all have to wait until the big day.
