Mallory

Miss Sassy Pants, part 8,341

August 3, 2009

No joke – this stuff came out of Mallory’s mouth this weekend:

Trying to get Rick’s attention – and Rick wasn’t responding. Mallory said “do you hear my voice?”
And then when he still wasn’t responding, I told Mallory to tell dad that she was going to count to three. So Mallory said “Hey Dad – I’m going to count to three. One…two…GO!!!”, while she was pointing. Can you tell we always try some other motivation with Mallory before we actually get to three?
Friday night I asked Mallory to grab me a beer, which she did. Then Rick asked her …

Carson at 4months

July 31, 2009

My baby boy is almost four months old. I can’t believe how fast time is going and I also can’t believe that I am wishing him to get bigger (and easier to entertain). He is such a happy little kid almost all of the time and I need to slow down and enjoy this time where he lets me hold him. You hear so many times that boys are soooo different from girls – and since Mallory wasn’t/isn’t a super-cuddly baby/toddler, I’m afraid that this boy of mine will be even less cuddle and I’ll really regret …

RB and SCT

July 31, 2009

Yesterday was our four-year anniversary. I have a post started up of my life and how we met, etc but this week hasn’t been the most calm so I don’t have it done yet.
But in honor of our anniversary, Rick is off playing hockey and left me at home with two not happy kids. I had to hold Carson until he fell asleep. And Mallory was screaming bloody murder for like an HOUR – she started to yell that she had to go potty so I decided I’d free her from her room but all she proceeded to do was …

I’m still here

July 28, 2009

You’d think by the lack of posts that I would be out of commission internet-wise but really I just have had those other projects taking up my time.
* * *
Please be assured that in my blogging absence my darling daughter continues to be completely hysterical and my sweet baby boy is slowly becoming a better sleeper (albeit with a SECOND TOOTH coming in!).
We are enjoying our last weeks of summer before football steals Rick away for four months. We’ve had lots of family time and just need the weather to cooperate so we can get some boat time in!

There is nothing funnier

July 25, 2009

There is nothing funnier than a 2.5 year old throwing your sayings back at you.
For instance – today Mallory told me “dat’s (that’s) right, sister” as a yes answer to something I asked her. And when I asked for clarification “Did you just say “that’s right, sister?”, she said “yes…dat’s hyterical (hysterical)”.
An hour later I asked what she wanted for lunch. She told me “I will have grilled cheese and you will have grilled cheese and I will have grilled cheese…sound good?”

What did you just did today?

July 22, 2009

So much to post, so little time. My friend Kim & I are starting a website with things to do around Ann Arbor with your kids. That should be at the top of my priority list but I have some other things to cross of my to-do list first (sorry Kim!).
Anyways, here we go.
We had a wonderful weekend in Wisconsin & Chicago. As I mentioned before, the ride west wasn’t so fun. Chicago traffic is THE WORST and Carson is not a big fan of the stop & go. He screamed bloody murder for most of the ride through Chicago. …

One Lonely Tooth

July 22, 2009

See it? Right in the middle of the bottom? I wonder how long it will take for that other bottom tooth to come in so his tooth isn’t so lonely. Mallory got all of her teeth in pairs so we’ll see what happens with Carson.
