A typical Wednesday

Are all the second children tougher than snot!?!? Poor Amelia, she doesn't have the option of being a dainty little pris... she's getting tougher by the day. Today Landen decided to take the pack-n-play apart (without me knowing) and when I put Amelia in the diaper changer she flipped right out into the bassinet part. Thank goodness she didn't get hurt, but it definitely scared the poop out of me. For those of you who do not know - this is just one of many of the little accidents that have happened in her eight weeks out of the womb. I'm not the kind of mother who does not watch over her children either, these freak things happen in an instant or while I'm standing right there. Her first accident was getting pulled out of our bed, how it happened I'm still not exactly sure. Kurt says I must have forgotten and put her on the floor, but I know that is not the case. She was laying on a blanket and Landen pulled her right off. . . she didn't cry or anything, but when I asked him how she got there he kindly said "I pulled her maaaa". Second... I was changing her and out of nowhere a ball comes flying at her face . . . she was not happy about that. Landen quickly said "sorry". So obviously these things are not on purpose, but the poor girl has no choice but to toughen up fast. =) On a brighter note... Today, Landen decided it was time for Amelia to say The Holy Spirit. He was playing with his rosary and he's been doing the sign of the cross (as well as he can) with it. Well he comes into the kitchen and says "Maaa.. beb, Spirit." Of course I practically run into the other room not knowing what I was going to find, I see this adorable little girl with a rosary around her body. Yes it was displayed on her just as you see in this picture. It's around her head because that is how Landen wears his rosary. She looks a bit stunned, doesn't she? That's our adventure with Landen and Amelia today.

As for other things...
Teri and Liesie came over today! Landen and "T.C." had a good time, as they usually do. I'm so glad that Landen has a buddy, even though he's a bit rough they still have a good time.

Oooh. . . I must share this. . . my poor daughter has officially been called a "boy" by more than one person, on the same day. It all started at, of course, Wal-Mart. I bought Amelia this cute little black and pink Zebra outfit at Old Navy. Kurt doesn't think it's that cute, but I do. Well as I'm in getting our groceries these people around there kept referring to her as a boy. This one lady even said - "she has a leopard outfit on though". Ahhh! Do boys ever get called girls? Landen never did, but maybe he was really boy. I think Amelia is pretty girlie though. Hmmm. That's it for this Wednesday. I will end with my girl in her zebra outfit!

Ok, that rosary picture is so cute! You know, I starting wearing Brennan just as much to protect him as I did for soothing him! lol Aidan means well, but at 3 years, he doesn't realize when he's hurting the baby in the house. ;)
And you're right-it takes less than a second for something to happen.

I went back and forth between flinching and cracking up while I was reading this post--ha ha ha! Your Landen and mine sound soooo much alike that I can't help laughing (and feeling your pain, too, of course!). Amelia is getting so big, I can't believe it! And she definitely looks like a girl to me--She's so pretty! :o) (Especially in her "leopard outfit" ha ha ha ha ha!)

Aww what a cutie! I definitely agree about the second child having to be tougher and let me tell you Alex is a tough little kid(I would say he can be a brat at times, but that wouldnt be nice,LOL!) He can actually "beat up" his big brother! well thats not saying much cause even though they are 2 yr 10 mo apart, Ethan weighs 36 lbs and Alex weighs 30!

Oh that zebra outfit is even cuter than it sounded!
Thanks again for having us over! I think it did us both good to get out!

Hi, Andrea! Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog! It's so cool to see yours and see pictures of the little ones. They are so beautiful! (As are you!)

I think it's so neat that you are into all of things -- the Above Rubies stuff and the Sears and... I could gush on all day, but I won't. Thanks again for the nice comment!
