Holy Snow Batman!

We are experiencing a true freak of nature. The second blizzard in one season! Its rare to ever get one blizzard, let alone two.

This is what we woke up to:





This is Jeff clearing out a potty spot for Molly.



Molly jumped off of the steps and got lost in the snow. Poor girl.

Seriously?

The dog snores like a pro. I think she could give Jeff a run for his money.

Think they make doggie C-Pap machines?

Just when you think you've got it all figured out....

reality SLAPS you in the face to remind you that you dont. I have been having a few "inadequate mommy" days and I really hate these kind of days. All that June Cleaver crap is exactly that... CRAP. I dont care what anyone says, she had a freaking maid. Either that or a nanny- otherwise she must have had some superpowers in order to be able to watch and raise her children, clean the house, do the laundry and cook breakfast, lunch and dinner. WTF? Hey, Mrs. Cleaver, way to make me feel like an inadequate mother. You. Suck.

On another note, I think I will be able to save a lot of money on babysitters. What do you think?



That little stinker just crawled his butt into the bedroom and went right into the crate and made himself comfortable before figuring out exactly how the door works. Hmmmmm, this may come in handy! =)

Lets switch gears again: In my quest to actually BE Mother Earth, I have been making some changes in my life since Jacob has come. Most of you are aware of the fact that we cloth diaper JD. In this endeavor, I quickly learned how irritating it is to find a disposable wipe in the wash with your diapers because you accidentally put it in the wetbag instead of the trash. So, in order to avoid any more irritation, I made myself some cloth wipes. I ♥ them. I ♥ them so much that I thought that other people may also ♥ them so I offered to make some testers and give them out (FREE) to some ladies on Babycenter. I have since gotten 2 PAYING orders for my wipes and one glowing review (thanks Jill!). Perhaps I have found my niche. Perhaps, just perhaps.... I am meant to be Mother Earth.



Just because he's so darned cute:

I've been reminding myself daily that I have to update my blog and had all kinds of great ideas as to what I was going to write about. Unfortunately, I cant think of any of them right now!

Jacob's next appointment with the neurosurgeon is on February 18th. It was scheduled for the 11th but they had to change it for some reason. Normally I wouldn't mind but this appointment is a BIG one. On February 18th at 1:00 p.m., we will find out if Jacob is ready to retire his helmet. As adorable as he is in his helmet, we can't wait until the day that he doesn't have to wear it anymore. The busted lips and bruised faces will not be missed. We're trying to keep ourselves from getting too excited for fear of not getting the good news that we want. Best case scenario: Helmet comes off in February. Worst case scenario: Helmet doesn't come off until May. Keep your fingers crossed for us.

I think I'm still too tired after my night out with Jeff... I will return when I have something a little more interesting to say.

It looks like frikkin' FAO Schwartz in here!

So, Jacob has seen both his first blizzard and his first Christmas, all within the same week. Jeff and I stayed up late wrapping all of Jacob's gifts in hopes that he would enjoy tearing the paper off. Unfortunately, he had absolutely no desire so I unwrapped them all. If only we had known, we could have just put them all under the tree UNwrapped and slept more! Note to self: 9 month old children have no desire to unwrap gifts.



We had Jacob dressed up in his special Christmas pajamas and he was absolutely adorable!



He got tons of new toys but his favorites have got to be his stand and learn table, the little jungle ball thingy (yes, that IS the technical name) and the Radio Flyer wagon. He loves to both push the wagon and ride inside of it. When we put him inside, he tries to stand up so my mom set up his little Elmo chair inside. Its his little pimp wagon now.



The look on his face just says, "I dont know what you heard about me, but a bitch cant get a dollar out of me! No Cadillac, no perms, you cant see that Im a mother $%*&ing P.I.M.P." (courtesy of 50 Cent)

Then Along Came Molly...

Another puppy has found its boy! Her name is Molly and the boy is Jacob.

Jeff surprised us with the adorable little 10 week old lab/boxer mix last night (December 21) and she has fallen in love with JD. She just follows him around licking his ears and cheeks.

He gets irritated with her and starts pushing her away. We will have to teach Molly how much love is TOO much love.

Jacob has recently discovered how much fun it is to open the cabinets and play with the bowls inside. Apparently this is genetic since Jeff's mother has told many a story about how Jeff used to do the exact same thing.

I look at this picture and just cant get over how big my baby is!

So, along came Molly. Hair of coal and kisses sloppy....
