The 3rd and last post of the night...Peanut update!

We had a doctor's appointment last Friday to check how Peanut's doing...well, small scare...they couldn't pick up a heartbeat with the little heartbeat monitor. So we did a ultrasound to make sure all was ok...and it was!! Thank goodness. Everything's going great, the HR was about 150..so conjure up your old wives tales on the sex predictions :) But we got a new picture of the little one, that if you've read in the first post of the night, Mabelle loves that picture with lots of sugar and hugs, she carries it around telling us it's the baby!!

So Peanut update...all is well, and Mama is getting large!

This was taken last Tuesday, but look at that belly now and with Mabs...crazy how the 2nd one really pooches out there!

Here's another pic of Peanut, with his/her back to us...you think he/she's trying to tell us something??

More and more...

See the post below...just playing catchup :D
Enjoy!!

Playing with her bubbles that are as big as she is!!

Look at that coordination...Mr. Potato Head, thank you!
Her playset we got for the bargain price of $75, brand new is $399 (without shipping). Yay garage sales!
Do you think she likes it?
She's even brave enough to crawl thru the tunnel!

It's been awhile...

It's been a week or so since I've posted...so time to play catchup with many, many pics!! We have been plagued with some sickies in our house...so no one come to visit for a few days (hee...hee). Mabs has been doing a ton this week, which means watching Toy Story 2 and Cindarella ALOT! She also can identify probably 75% of the alphabet, and is counting objects now (she doesn't always start at 1, sometimes its 4...but goes from there). Anyhoo...here's some pics: ENJOY!

Playing in the "bat-tub", making her frog "faht" on her tummy...

Immediately following the above pic, after the frog "fahted"!! Now that's a belly laugh!
Reading...yup, she reads ;)

That's the remote for the DVD, she's not playing video games, or is she??? That's her loving on her ultrasound pic of little peanut, she LOVES that baby now...let's hope it continues even after the arrival.
Telling us that's the baby.
Giving Momma's squishy belly...really the baby...some sugar.
The sugar quickly turned to zrrbrrts, and moved from my belly to just her mouth!!

A little collection of photos for Mabelle's Grand-Dad!!

Weight Checkup!!

So Mabelle had a doctor's checkup today, just to check her weight. The doc told us last time, that if she got to 21 lbs, she woudn't run anymore bloodtests (since we were doing them at every doc visit), and she would leave her alone on the weight issue. So we got there, and she weighed in at a whopping, 21 lbs 3 oz!!!! YAY!! She still is not that happy going to the doctor, she kept saying all morning "no, no, no doctor...no want to!!". She cried with the nurse, but was ok with the doc....she even said her name "dr how". Soooo sweet!

Picture overload....ummm...major picture overload!!!!

Don't suck too hard...it'll make you go cross-eyed!!

Mmmm....shake...frozen!!

That's exactly how I concentrate...get right down there! That's her office, you need an appointment to disturb here there!
"Whats in dere?"
"wadur, i see it!!"

It's sooo much better when it's daddy's ice cream!!Such a smart girl, she can play with the lights, "all byself" now!That Cindarella gets all the attention!! Even while drinking her chocolate milk, she can't take her eyes off her!

Her royal highness.....eating "chicken bisuits", in her "Claus" jammies!!

The Healing Black Eye...well kinda green eye.

The healing continues....

So we're on Day 7 of the bruised eye, and it's looking a lot better, but everyone was so concerned and I wanted to post some pictures to show how it has NOT slowed her down. And it hasn't bothered her, except when she's telling people what happened, that seems to be the only time she fakes a whimper....telling the story.

Day 3:

Day 4:

Day 5:

Day 6 (not a great pic...but you can see her that right next to her temple is still green):

Day 7 (the best pic I have from this morning...but you can kinda see her eyelid bruising is almost gone):

How could I forget to post these?!?!?!

This was on our trip to Dallas to see my Mom, Gary, and my brother back in May...how in the world did they not get posted. It was her FIRST trip to Six Flags!!! She had a good time, even though she could only ride one ride and it was raining. It was a blast!!!!

Uncle Bubba, Mama, Porky, Wyle, and Miss Mabs.

Nana and Mabs waiting while everyone rides a roller coaster...or a choo choo train (as she thought they were) ;)
Her first ever ride at a theme park...it was the Carousel!! Can you tell she liked it?!?!
After a roller coaster, Mama, Gary Jr, Gary, and Barbara.
Grandad teaching Mabelle about animal crackers, while she's wearing his shoes (see it's not just mine she snags--no shoes are safe while Mabs is around!!!).

The bruiser...

So yesterday, Mabs fell pretty hard and hit her head on the glass shelf in our super-sized TV stand...poor thing. It instantly turned purple and pink...no black and blue...yet.

This is RIGHT after it happened, hence the "chi-chi"...
And this is Day 2...I couldn't get a great shot, since the knot has fallen into her eyelid, but you can see across her eyebrow where she banged it. Poor baby.And if you ask her what happened? How'd she get the owie? The TV did it...then she "cwried", and she'll tell you "poor baby". Pretty pitiful! I'll keep updating on how it looks in the next few days...

Her first Cardinals game!

Mabelle experienced her first "ball game" with the "carnals" playing (and winning...woohoo!). She had a great time, and loved everything about it...don't believe me, view the many, many pics below!

The "good" seats...3 rows up from the field, in the direct sun...needless to say, we sat in the other seats (shaded seats) :) Her and Papa enjoying the view..

Mama and Mabs...Daddy took the picture while I was yakking, trying to get her to look at him. What a great pic, huh?
She seriously clapped everytime the crowd did...she LOVED it!
MMMMmmmmmmmmmm.....$30 Nachos....
And a Coke chaser....anything to keep her cool!!
And for dessert, a "squishy"...basically frozen strawberry/lemonade sugar!! She REALLY loved this!
Watching intently with Daddy.
"Uncul David & Weeza" spoiling her with the squishy :)
Yup...that's us! (And Uncul David's big ol' foot!)

Those of us who braved the heat and drive to see the Cardinals win 7-0...and Papa Dave taking the picture. She's still mowing thru that squishy!
