molars molars molars

For the love if God! ( weird: I was going ro complain about how teething will be the death if me and how horrible it us, but I was instead reminded that if teething us the worst thing we are dealing with in our lives, then we are pretty freaking lucky!)

So, dani finally has 2 molars in the bottom peaking through!!!! Whoop whoop! She will be soooooo excited to know that she can eat more food lol. I hope the other the other ones break through soon. She us not sleeping good, us a grumpy grump and has the worst diapers!!

Yesterday we went to the San Diego zoo. We left the stroller at home and took the backpacks. I think the girls were in them for all if 5 minutes other than walking to and from the car! We had a great time though. Auntie Jo Jo asked dj what her favorite animal was and dj tells her it was the Billy goat!! It was obvious what part was dani's fav: the pond that shot water over the bridge she was standing on. Nothing like driving 2 hours to one if the worlds top zoos that is full if reasly coil things like; watching the polar bears eat and then go swimming, or watching the elephant go into the water and spray itself to cool down, nope we like the stuff we could go see down the block!

Poison Control

Well, I guess it was bound to happen, I just thought it would be later than sooner. Today I made my first and hopefully last call to poison control. Little muss dj took her new bottle if vitamins out if the fridge, found a corner and started chugging away. Honestly: what is a momma to do? Well thus momma is now locking up the fridge!!!!

So poison control was extremely Nice and helpful. Luckily the vitamins do nit have iron and she would have had to drink 19 ounces, not the 4 she drank. Whew

After our little ordeal we went with my moms group to tanka farms for a watermelon tour. It was a blast!!!!!! We rode in a trailer pulled by a tractor around the farm stopping to eat freshly pocked tomatoes beans carrots squash zucchini cantaloupe watermelon and other stuff. It was soooooooooooo good! Dj loved the tomatoes the most and dani liked the corn and watermelon. Both girls were a sticky mess!!

At the farm they did a presentation on how to know if a melon is ripe. One of the ways us to check it's belly button. This caused a bit if confusion and dani thought they meant fir her to show her belly button. She took it upon herself to walk around with her shirt up showing all 50+ people her belly button

Sunday School

Today I had a self realization that hit me like a tin if bricks: I am the queen if excuses. This came as a surprise to me! I know I am pretty good at manipulating (thanks dad), but I did not realize I was so goof that I can manipulate myself using my excuses.

Here is the one that shine the light on it;

We have nit been to church in quote a long time. I always want to go, but now Neil works on Sunday's so we can't. I can't take the girls by myself because they will Never be still and quiet for an entire sermon. I could it dj in sunday school but she has never stayed the full hour. Then I would be stuck with both girls. I can't pit dani in Sunday school because she is a baby. I don't let them leave my side until they are16 lol. I also can't go because we want to meet my niece as soon as she arrives. That means I need to keep my girls healthy not expose them to potentially sick kids!

It was about thus time I gut the brick wall. I swear I could picture God looking at me like I was an idiot saying that I won't get to heaven by having germ free kids lol.

Needless to say,I loaded up the girls and we went to church!!! Both girls went in pretty easy. I was w wreck. I went into church and kept staring and checking the buzzer. It was horrible. I am such a dork when it comes to leaving them!!!

I was pleasantly surprised that I did nit get buzzed for 30 minutes!!!! I figured it was dj, so when I got the the childcare area I was surprised to find Danica crying. I was even mire surprised that 30seconds later I realized I could hear dj crying too! Aye aye aye. Some boy had a breakdown and my sensitive girls could only stay calm so long.

Well, I am proud if beating my excuses today. Double or nothing fir next week?

Fake Burping

You might think that the Petrie Princeses are all pretty and pink, ruffles and glitter (which they are), but there had arose a new side and I am not sure how I feel about it, I am however site that their daddy is in big trouble!!!

It all started today at nap time. Dani. Was struggling to fall asleep because she was busy fake burping'!!!!!! She thought it was hilarious and was cracking herself (and me) up.

After dani woke up, the fake burps left het so I figured she must be over them. I was wrong. After taking a big drink at dinner she did a real burp which just brought on another case of the fake burps. This time was more fun because she had a big sister joining her. Yes, at the dinner table they sat across from each other fake burping and laughing!!!

How did this happen? I have girls!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dani slept in crib

So last night was princess Danicas second night to sleep in her crib. The first night she woke up a few times. One of those times was for over 3 hours!!! I think these darn teeth are really bothering her, because even after I put her in my bed she still wouldn't sleep. Last night however she was a rockstar and slept the entire night!!!!!!!!

Lizard girls

Dani figured out how to stick out her tongue yesterday. I could nit be more proud! She loves walking around with it sticking out and giving me or dj the occasional lick ha ha. It could be worse, she could be like her bug Sis and run around chasing bugs trying to catch them with her tongue and eat them! No more mixed up chameleon book for her!!!

Ok, so we were having major issues at dinner. Dj was throwing her food and not listening and well,crossing many many many lines. Time out was not working, so I spanked het. Then she tells me mo, so I spanking her again. She got probably 5-6 good spankings before she stopped. I got dani our if her chair about 15 minutes later and what does she do, she goes right over to dj who is in time out and hits her!!!!!!! Honestly, how will I survive with these girls???

Day 9 - Sleep

Write this down: baby girl slept through the night!!!!! Whoop whoop whoop. I felt weird when I wine up feeling rested, I did not know what to do with all the energy!

happy 4th of July

Happy birthday America!!!!! We made sure we celebrated today with A bang! It was our first and praying not our last 4th of July in HB. This place goes nuts!!!!!

The girls and I walked down to watch the parade and luckily were able to sneak onto some people's roped off grass ha ha. We had front row seats and grass to sit on. The girls loved the parade! They were waving and waving and waiving. I am not sure what is going to happen when both girls are in the running for ms America, hopefully they will have a tie lol. They both have the wave. Down and kept it up for 2.5 hours'

While we saw a ton of things in the parade, the cheerleaders were clearly their favorite and the horses a far second fav. When the cheer leaders were there, both girls started clapping and yelling. I am pretty sure I see high school football games in our future!! Neil will be happy lol

After naps, Neil came early so we headed downtown and decided to make a quick stop at the beach. As a reminder quick is not a word that should ever be used in the same sentence as beach when it comes to my fish. Of course we could not keep them away (dani made a mad dash for the water the second I put her down). We decided to go put our feet in. Neil had dani and I had dj. I told Neil do not let her diaper get wet since I did not have any more. I know he heard ne, but 30 seconds later she was soaked! Oh well, we had a blast!!'

Bedtime was a nightmare. I am officially old because I was cursing everyone who was making noise past 7 lol

Bead stuck in nose

Seriously, what is going on? I have two beautiful princess little girls and first they have a shopping cart brawl and now they (dj) sticks stuff up her nose! Girls don't do this stuff! I would have put money on it knowing it was a sure net chase would be the first to get something stuck lol

Dj was making a braclet for auntie jojo and auntie j while I was sewing. She starts saying mom mom mom over and over. She was nit whining just getting a little bit if frantic in her voice. I look at her to see her picking her nose. Now lately this is not an unusual sight so I did not think much about it. Her mom mom mom kept getting mire and more frantic, and I realized what must have happened, but was scared to ask! I am nit gonna lie, I panicked a little inside! I have no idea what to do if you get something stuck in your nose! I yelled at dj to stop picking it while I ran around the table. It was all slowotion as I watched her push it farther and farther up!

Lucky for her, I have nit cut my nails lately and am sporting what some might call a crack nail ( I call it a must have tool!). Using a finger on the outside to push it down and my handy treasure tool, dj could once again breathe!

Week 1 over sleep "training"

I figure I better update and take better notes for my book. There is only so much a sleep deprived momma can remember! So, dani was still waking up numerous times a night. Honestly it is to Many times to even try and count. Anyway, for the past two nights I have not fed her at all during the night! And she has survived lol. Also importantly, so have I ha ha

The first night was rough. She woke up a hundred and one times and would not go back to sleep for anything. I actually ended up feeding her around 430. I did it for good reasons of course!

Second night was amazing. She only woke up 3 times, granted she was awake for 1.5 hours during a wake up, but we will just ficus on the details lol

14 month birthday

Happy 14 month ok'd birthday giant baby!!!! In the past 14 months, this baby has brought me so many smiles. She has also patiently allowed her big sister to give her "loves". Well, up until today she has.

I am loading my Costco groceries into the car and I look back to check on the girls. I hear a lot if yelling but no crying, so I was not too concerned, I just wondered what all the commotion was about. What do I see? I see dj holding a shoe in each hand hitting dani in the head. Dani is lunging her entire body at dj trying to tackle her or something. As I get closer I see dj hair all over the shopping cart cover and quit a bit still in dani's hand!!!!! I did not know whether I should laugh or cry or yell or cheer.........i would not have believed this shopping cart brawl had I nit have seen it with my own eyes.

Book notes. I fed dani around 2 and then 4. She woke up a few other times, but I shhhhhhing her to sleep. We are making progress!
