1. I air type words that I hear. I used to type so much at an old job that it resulted in this obscure, and extremely odd habit.

2. I can't stand long fingernail or toenails. I always cut mine down way too short. I am always scolded about this when I get a pedicure.

3. I have weird nicknames for people: Leggy McLeavesHerKid; Sneezy Von CoughsALot; Stinky McPoopsHisPants

4. I can't stand the following people:
Oprah
Brangelina
Rachael Ray
Miley Cyrus
The girl on the Taco Time commercials
Mario Lopez
Every judge on America's Best Dance Crew
Elisabeth Hasselbeck
The yet-to-be First Puppy
Madame Speaker Nancy Pelosi
Anyone who says y'all

5. I started to pee the bed during a dream a couple weeks ago

6. I will not go near a Haunted House or anything like it after I was permanently traumatized as a child. It was bad enough that I'm pretty much classically conditioned to cry upon hearing the sound of a chainsaw.

I tag, Tracy, Beth, Katie, Carie, Linda, Solinda

Tracy wanted me to point out her new necklace in the picture I took :)

Lindsay has also started saying some fun words now. She blabbers Da-Da all day long, says Mama to me with her arms stretched out, and says Nana for banana; although, it has since been generalized to anything that might resemble a treat. :) She has unfortunately developed quite a sweet tooth and so now she will chase after me or anyone who has a treat yelling, "Nana!" She also knows the difference between her puppies and looks at Baxter when we say, "Where's B?" and at Will when we say "Where's Will?" and when we tell her to go get a book she knows just what to do. What a little smartie she is!

Lindsay's hair is also now long enough for a pony tail so I was able to give her a little whale spout and she looked so adorable! If only she would keep it in for more than ten seconds!

All Grown Up!

Now for the EXTRA good news of the week: I FINALLY got my car back! We got rear ended on December 23 and I finally got it back on February 20. Two months for a rear end repair!!!!! It was ridiculous. I am so happy to have my car back and it's almost like I got a new car again. The Corolla flashbacks have now stopped and I can drive without the fear that a hubcap may come off in the middle of the road at any time.

Countdown to Lindsay's first birthday: 10 DAYS!!!!!

It's been a bit since I updated my blog and I have to attribute it to this: Complete laziness. So, now that my monthly lazy spell is over I have lots to update. Lindsay has been walking for the past month now and is now a complete terror. She walks everywhere she is not supposed to, and now gets into even more things that she's not supposed to. Her new favorite place to play is in the toilet. She loves splashing around and it drives me nuts. Mostly, it drives me nuts that we keep forgetting to shut the bathroom door (I'd just shut the lid, but she is a problem solver and already knows how to lift up the seat).

She likes to walk around the house with treats in her hands to feed to the boys and especially enjoys playing "Pull Out All The Tupperware" and "How Much Dog Food Can I Stick In My Mouth". Seriously, why do I even buy toys? The other day I found her playing with an oven mitt and a paper plate. Anyways, now that she has reached her walking milestone I'm sad that my little infant is no longer - maybe now it's time to work on baby #2! (....We'll see)

This past week we also decided to go and visit Grandma & Grandpa Talbot down in Pahrump. Lindsay was such a good girl on the way down, she played, slept, and read her books. We stayed for a couple of days and we celebrated the Chinese New Year while at the Chinese buffet in town. Lindsay had fun playing fetch with Addy (Baxter will never bring the ball back to her) and it was nice to relax for a few days with the in-laws. Grandma & Grandpa Talbot were glad to see Lindsay and she even learned to climb the steps in their house. We'll be headed back down that way next weekend to help out since Grandpa Talbot had knee surgery and won't be able to move around much. Here are some pics of our fun visit!

Sleepy Baby!

Quite a page turner!
