More Fall Fun!!

Miss D turned 21 months over the weekend!! Can you believe it?? She is getting so big and we love seeing all the new stuff she learns! Just yesterday we were all playing and her favorite thing is "where's...", usually "where's mama?", "where's daddy?" Even tho we are right there!! Ha! So she was going through everyone and I said "where's baby?" (She thinks that's her name) and she pointed at the baby doll I was holding so I said "where's mamas baby?" And she points at Bob and says "daddy is the baby!" Ha! He said... Did she just say that? When does she talk sentences?? Sometimes she surprises you! 

Over the weekend, we carved pumpkins, made pumpkin pie and roasted pumpkin seeds, got all dressed up to call the Hogs from the couch, and even went to church for the first time in a while! 

Fall is definitely here and we are enjoying every minute!! Next stop... Halloween! 

Acute Care love!!

As you all know, I have started a great venture with Rodan + Fields! This company has done amazing things for our family. We just introduced a new product this last month called Acute care which actually can fill a wrinkle, while you sleep, no needle required! And I must say, the results are amazing!! We had a one day only sale for current customers to purchase this product and wow!! We crashed the server in 1 minute…that is how amazing and in demand this product is! So excited I got my orders in for all my amazing customers and even more excited to be a part of history in the making. This is like the Black Friday of skin care!! It was CRAZY!!

Falling for Fall!

Fall has been so fun this year so far!! We have just been out doing all kinds of fun stuff and it is just beginning! We have done pumpkin patch and harvested pumpkins and painted pumpkins and we haven't even got to Halloween yet! Here are just a few fun pictures!
We usually go to Little Sprouts every week which is a program geared toward preschoolers 0-5 yr that teaches them about the outdoors. They sing songs and have activities. Earlier in the year, we planted pumpkins and now it was time to harvest them! It was fun…she tried to feed them to the chickens!!

Covered in ink from the great stamp they give you when you leave!

Farmland Adventures is a fun pumpkin patch here in NWA. There are pony rides, pig races, petting zoo, etc. She only liked the petting zoo and had no interest in getting her photo in front of the sign. She was on the run and no one could stop her! Ha!

We also had a fun time with out MOPS group painting pumpkins in the park. My initial response to painting pumpkins was a slight freak out…painting + toddler cannot = anything good! We wore old clothes (luckily it was warm) and painted our hearts out. First response? stick finger in paint…place finger on pumpkins..wipe fingers on clothes!! She finally got the hang of it! Fun times had by all!

Wooo Pig Sooie!!

Football season is in full force around here and if you have never been to Fayetteville during a Razorback football game, I must say that you are missing out! It is crazy around here…people live for these tailgates and games! There was seriously a couple next to us this week that had a 4 month old baby and not only carried the carseat and all of the baby essentials, but also carried a bouncer for the baby to play in under the tent. Not to mention the fact that they easily probably walked a mile at least from the car with all of this stuff! That is dedication! We started off the season tailgates with a fun visit from John Daly. It was raining all day but tons of people showed up just to meet him.

For some reason it is impossible to find toddler Razorback gear around here…maybe everyone has already bought it all?? So for the next tailgate, Dylan was prepared and rocked her Hog wear!

She even taught daddy a little bit about baggo…like how to hold a 1 year old while playing! Ha! We are going to make a big fan out of her soon enough!

What's New??

It's only been 7 months since I've updated this thing... No big deal, right?? I have no idea where my time goes as I get chased around the house by a hysterical screaming toddler?!?! I feel like we've been so busy but not busy at all at the same time. This is such a fun stage right now as we watch Dylan learn something new everyday but at the same time it's so exhausting!

So... What's new? 

I've started an exciting new business venture with Rodan + Fields! It's exciting to make money working from home and just have something to do besides being chased by a toddler. Even though she hates for me to do anything on my laptop or phone unless she is in the middle of it! I think I'm maybe starting to get the hang of this mom thing... Toddler temper tantrum = ignore, ignore, ignore! I don't even hear her throwing a fit in the store or restaurant! Ha! I feel like I am enjoying finally sleeping through the night but for some reason I feel more tired... 

Bottom line, I love being mommy to this sweet face even when she is more than a handful! 

She is talking all the time! She has 9 teeth, going on 11 and for some reason these two that have been trying to come in forever are killing all of us! She's such a picky eater! Who knows if she likes things bc she refuses to open her mouth to try new things!! The dietitian in me is not happy... This is the face I get often when I want her to eat something different... 

We got to enjoy Florida this summer and I think she liked the beach and ocean and really loved the splash pad!! 

We are now in full swing in razorback football season so Bob is busy working tailgates.

And I am trying to become aware that Christmas and little misses birthday is right around the corner!! Yikes!! Luckily, I have already bought two gifts... Yay me!! I've even bought her Minnie Mouse Halloween costume and plan on doing Minnie Mouse themed birthday party too!! She is in love with Minnie Mouse and now really likes Doc McStuffins. She sings the songs and it's so cute!! It just amazes me how much she knows! I love it!! 

I am going to try to do better keeping everyone up to date on our fun, crazy life!! So... Until next time (soon)!! 

Dylan Turns One!

Can't believe this sweet girl is ONE! It has been such a trying year for all of us! She definitely keeps me on my toes! She is weighing in at 21 lbs 12 oz and is 29.5 inches long; Size 4 diapers; 12 month clothes. She has almost cut all of her bottles out except for the one in the middle of the night. She is a pretty picky eater and only likes eggs, bananas, yogurt (loves yogurt), mac n cheese, anything pasta, goldfish crackers, graham crackers, teddy grahams, and pureed foods. She is not crazy about drinking things but will only drink from a straw. Still not walking but wanting to so bad…she refuses to let anyone try to help her. She crawls so fast!! She chases me all over the house wanting me to pick her up. She is definitely going through some sort of separation anxiety and isn't crazy about me even leaving the room! She still just has two teeth but I feel like there are more getting close. She has stopped talking and only says mama and bye bye and boop and mup…no clue what those mean but she says them about everything. She just wants to point at everything and you tell her what its called but she has no desire to say it. She is doing pretty good with going potty but we haven't really pressed the issue yet. She thinks it is fun!
Her birthday party was so much fun! We had a ladybug themed party at Grammy and Grumpy's and just had family there. To imagine she got so many gifts and didn't already have any of them…. She hated the cake…she got it on her hands and she couldn't figure out how to get it off so she had a little meltdown! She loved opening her gifts and the Happy Birthday Song and she loved all the attention, of course.

Morning birthday girl!

Dylan's First Christmas!

This Christmas was the best that I can even imagine!! Dylan actually loved opening gifts and she wanted to play with each toy before moving on to the next one. We made Christmas cookies for Santa, opened stockings with Christmas PJ's and other goodies in them, we go to to get up bright and early to see what Santa had brought and then we had pancakes and enjoyed the day!!

Her own cell phone!

Baby doll!

Merry Christmas from Dylan!
