17 weeks.

Baby bean at 17 weeks!!!!! Still exhausted, still sick, nothing's changed except my size. :)

My fishy

Proof that Tessa is a little fish. She is 18 months younger than Hannah and probably braver. She has no fear and has a fit when it's time to leave.

I'm back!!!!!

WOW! Sorry for the lack of communication recently! Its been a wild ride! First off I finally got a new computer so that helps my situation a ton, I can post, upload, view pictures all in a matter of minutes once again! Amazing!!! I would tell you what it is and all that computer talk but I don't know. What I do know is that its amazing and the screen is huge! I love it! Thanks honey!!!

I guess whats the biggest news is that we are expecting again!!! Baby#3 is due December 4,2012! Woohoo!

So I've been sick, tired, scared all at once! I'm already pulling my hair out! :) We are all well and now that I'm up and running again I will post more tonight!!! IF i have the energy! 

I love you

This girl is something else. Busts out in songs all the time and usually has a dance to go along with it.

Babies

 We have been busy around here these days! Tessa has become obsessed with baby dolls and Hannah likes to act like a baby! Score! ugh...........NOT.

She turns 3 on March 11th (Sunday) and shes already up'd the whinning, throwing fits, not listening, etc...etc..etc..

Hannah has also taken too wanting to sleep in the pack n play! Ha! Shes out of diapers so I'm always a bit worried but she climb in and out just fine! (mom of the year here!)

Anyways, I had to get these shots because she has to curl up, I mean she does it anyway but shes as long as the bed so kinda funny.

 Exhibit #1. 

 Exhibit #2.

 I love this girl, shes like sour patch kids, sweet and sour at the same time!

Now onto little/BIG sissy.

 Its amazing having 2 girl (or kids for that matter) b/c most moms worry, "How will I love the 2nd one enough??" or the 3rd, 4th etc...I'm sure. BUT the answer is you do! They all have a special place in your heart and they are all special to you! Hannah is because she was the first one, Tessa is just because, and shes a mini me so that's a plus! She is so little (17 months and just got into 12 months!), sweet, loving, doesn't talk much, points, grunts,I could go on and on, she is my peanut. She is growing up too quickly just like BIG sissy.

 So about the baby dolls, shes so loving, kind sweet to them! She will grab them and put them up on her shoulder and sway back and forth with it. She tries to nurse the baby. Sometime I did with both of them right up till the 1st Birthday but hows does she remember that or where has she seen that?? I don't have another baby attached to my boob!

 

She chews on everything! So here she is loving on her baby, really chewing on it and making it light up at the same time......skills???? I don't have to worry about her with boys she will probably chew on them, bite them or something. She knows how to stand her ground. Future vampire??? Lets hope not!

Baby blue eyes!

Dance moves

Girlfriend has too much energy!

A morning performance

Singing head shoulders knees and toes!!!

Sleeping like a baby

Recently this is how I have found Tessa, so now I'm paranoid and I'm constantly going upstairs to check on her! She has a pillow at the top of the crib but I guess she likes it at the bottom curled up....snug as a bug??

Just snoozing away.....

Mom the flash woke me.....Grrrr

We are in trouble.

Mini Me Cont'

 The girl's new thing is to take the couch cushions off and jump, they do this nightly usually when I'm trying to make dinner. I turn up the "dance party music" as Hannah calls it and they jump, jump and jump. They crack each other up! Its really cute! Here's Tessa after a dance session, shes just chillling.


Man that was tiring, I'm just going to sit and rest. 

Or cheese it up for the camera.

 Eh? Really??

 Yawn, your boring me.

 Yeah you, with the camera, B O R I N G,......

Hmmmm...maybe I need to be nice to her, she gets me things I need :) 

Can you tell I feel like I don't take enough pictures of this one??? Hannah runs the show, and this one seats back and enjoys the show, usually snuggled up to me.

Mini Me

 Here's my happy girl, shes always a snuggle bug before and after naps! I want YOU to get me out!

Seriously, Mom I'm so not kidding.

 Please??

I want out now! Ok Ok Miss Grumpfish.  Lets go play!

Princess Diaries

 Last week I kept my friend Tara's little girl Grace for a few hours! The girls had a blast together, like they always do! They are in dance together on Monday's, preschool on Tuesdays and Thursdays! They see a lot of each other and are usually well behaved! :)


 Hannah from a while ago, sporting the Ragnar flag from the race I ran in from Miami to Key West!

My sweet mini me who isn't talking much but knows 100% of what is going on. Shes a watcher and observer. She can be loud and run with the big kids. I just love those baby blues!

Grace aka Cinderella, Snow White, Tinkerbell, whoever shes wearing thats what you have to call her! Ha cracks us up!!!! And check out that grin! Girlfriend is crazy!  :o)

 My Snow White! Shes just growing up too quick! This girl is a taddle tale! Stupid isn't a nice word, butt isn't a nice word, crap, poop, etc......and if we happen to say it she says "Mommy you need time out" haha just like we do with her! :)

Gracey Wacey....as Hannah calls her!

I need to get this picture framed for them, they can look back on it for years to come! They are such a team! I love seeing Hannah interact and talk with her friends!

When I'm not looking.

I was in the same room as her. She was coloring what I thought was paper. Nope. Little turd colored her hands then picked up a few things and spread that lovely color combo around. Thank god for crayola being washable!!!

Kisses

Morning kisses from sissy!

Our Valentines Day!

On Monday we headed to our library for story and craft time hosted by a mom in the moms club! It was pretty awesome! The girls sat in my lap listened to the stories and then ran around and made a valentine for their daddy! He got 3!!! What a lucky dude.

 Taaa daaa!!!!!! Hannah used a whole glue bottle on 2 cards, and helped Tessa load the glue on her's as well......at least this year she didn't eat it. Thumbs up for improvements!

 My little peanut who's 16 months in her 9 month Valentine outfit passed down from sister. LOVE that they can use each others!

Party time! Valentines, snacks, sugar, candy and friends oh and did I mention candy????

 My love bug puked the night before out of the blue, so we took it easy in the am then went to school for the party. She was totally fine, girlfriend leaves me scratching my head daily.

 This one, walked right in and swiped Cheetos from sissy's plate.  (That's my girl!) Then sat in a chair, like she was part of the crew......of course they welcomed her with a plate full of food.

As for us.....My Valentine worked late, picked up take out we ate together while Hannah ran around, then bed for her, and bed for us.......nice night! Nothing out of the ordinary!!

This valentines day was our 14th together! Kinda fitting it was on February 14 huh?? Cheesy!!

Hannah reading Elmo

Her "reading". I love her imag

I suck!

Seriously.....I suck at this....Sometimes I feel that way about everything I do, from caring for the kids, being a friend, a wife, daugher, cooking, fashion, laundry and cleaning.....but this isn't about that. I'm not even going to recap Christmas, New Years (although AMAZING inlaws came up to keep girls, dinner with my love, then OUT with friends drinking till who knows when, pizza cravings, taxi rides etc.....then sleeping it off in!!!!!!) Then my race from Miami to Key West! Which was hands down aside from our wedding and the birth of my 2 wonderful girls, was the BEST time I've had in a LONG TIME!!! And it was pretty much with all strangers!~ My friend who didn't run but came down her husband headed up the team and got me to join. I get giddy thinking about it still, oh and Remi came down too :) <3 Perfection is Key West. It will fix anything. The weather, the people, the atmosphere, and the drinks of course!  Now Valentines Day! I will recap that but later the camera is upstairs in the girls room.

I'm in such a slump, the weather just 100% sucks, cold,windy, windy, rainy, gray, my attitude is crappy, the kids are sick puking,fevers one day (actually middle of the night as always..) then perfect full of energy, eating, running, jumping to sick the next. Very very frustrating. Doctors? No doctors? School? No school?? Playdates or not??? Always something. Very random fact, we found jelly on our front door! Seriously?? Where is this maid people speak of???  Not at Casa De Smith that's for sure!

So much has been going on, friends, life,kids, and I've dropped the ball on it. I think I may hide out till spring. The Keys spoiled me and I haven't been the same since, I want warmth on my skin, the sun, palm trees. But for now I will settle for a nap! That's part of my problem the girls are crazy everywhere, into anything, thats great I get it, but its tiring then dinner, baths, daddy home, someone always needing ME, I need naps, my quiet time, my time out! So excuse me my pillow is calling.

We be jamming

Nightly jam session.

Sleepy

I love how she sleeps.

Catch me if u can

They love each other sooooo much.
