you can't pinch us...

Happy St. Patrick's Day from the Whitehead Girls!!!

We have beautiful weather in TX this weekend, we spent the morning at an outdoor birthday party.  Hopefully we will get some more outdoor playtime later today. We explained to Landry that you have to wear green so you don't get pinched, she loved the concept. I hope she knows it's only on day...we'll see.

Yesterday the girls had a little St. Patty's Day party at school, they got all dressed up in their green outfits, we almost had to cut Hayden's onesie off her, tutu's around her mid section are not the most flattering outfits on Miss H.  I was able to take a few pictures before they headed out the door.

 

 

We have two extremes...one child LOVES to smile and have her picture taken.  The other...well...you be the judge!  ATTITUDE to the MAX!!!

 Miss L is 3 going on 13!!!

fun at the park

Yesterday I took the girls to the park after work for a little outdoor fun. This was Hayden's first time in the swing with assistance from her big sis!

Wordless Wednesday

my baby's growing up

I can hardly believe Hayden is 5 months now, I can't even remember what our family was like without her.  She is our "Angel Baby" and we let her know that all the time.  She has adjusted to daycare quite nicely.  Our nighttime routine has hit a few snaggs with her feeding schedule but most nights she is a healthy happy 5 month old.  She is in the begining stages of starting to sit by herself, mainly by balancing her belly between her legs and leaning forward.  She is no where near getting to the seated postion by herself, she barely rolls over, not because she can't but because she doesn't have anywhere she wants to go.  Total opposite of Landry.  She is the most laid back chill kid you have ever seen.  She just watches her crazy sister, smiles and laughs. 

 

 

a trip to the dentist...we tried

Yesterday we attempted Landry's first trip to the dentist.  She has been talking about going to the dentist for months, basically ever since her friend Sue Sue at school went and came to Mrs. Kelly's with a balloon and a pair of really cool sunglasses.  I figured we better go ahead and make the appointment while she is so "excited" to go.  It started out great, they have a great waiting room with a doll house and train set, she was having a blast.  Then they called us back and she willing went with the hygienist chatting up a storm.  Then "the chair" I noticed she became a little standoffish but was still doing great by shy Landry standards.  The sweet hygienist that was dressed in all pink and was all ready to show Landry Mr. Tickles, Squirt & Mr. Thirsty (their brush, water gun & suction straw).  This is when the eyes filled with water and the bottom lip got bigger and bigger.  She was NOT having it.  Dang it...I knew this was to good to be true.  We bribed and bribed and bribed...the tears turned to screaming fit and before we knew it we were leaving without a teeth cleaning.  However, we did go home with 2 prizes from the treasure chest, a pink balloon, a pair of purple gloves & dirty teeth.  We shall try again in 6 months!!!

Here are some iphone pics Trey sent me on their way home. I'm glad she likes her gloves!

One month down...

I have officially been back to work for 1 month.  I must say the transition wasn't nearly as hard as I thought it might be.  We are in a pretty good routine MOST mornings.  Trey does most of the heavy lifting with the girls while I get myself ready.  I try to have the girls outfits picked out the night before.  I am pretty sure if I don't he purposely puts them in the craziest outfits just to frustrate me so I will realize I forgot to set something out.  I am also in charge of Landry hair, she always says, "Daddy doesn't do hair!"  I still have visions of my Dad attempting my hair which ended with a stuck roll brush and some scissors.  I will gladly take this responsibility, plus it allows me to guarantee she leaves the house adorned with a satellite dish bow of some type. I am still breast feeding so I also feed Hayden before I turn her over to Daddy to change and dress for the day.  Hopefully all goes well and I am out the door no later than 8:15 to hit the road for my 45 min. commute to the office.  This is usually when I catch up with people on the phone or just relax and listen to my favorite Dallas radio station 1310 The Ticket. 

This week has been a little different. Trey has been in California for work so it has just been us girls the last couple nights.  We had arranged for JoJo to fly into town on Wednesday to help out and stay thru the weekend since we also have plans Saturday night.  Unexpectedly she was called to Kansas to help with my Grandmother and wasn't go to get back to AR in time to make the Wednesday flight so we rescheduled and have her arriving tomorrow.  Landry is so excited to pick her up at the airport.  Both girls have been very good.  Landry has had a few injury induced meltdowns but what 3 year old doesn't have fake injuries that cripple them for days.  I swear if I put another bandaid on perfectly clear skin I might scream.  Does anyone else have really clumsy kids?  Landry seems to fall all the time.  I can only pray this is just a phase and she doesn't have my lack of coordination.

Hayden has been just as smiley as ever, we have nicknamed her Angel Baby!  She is getting over another stuffy nose but seems to be doing great.  I hope both kids stay healthy this weekend so they can really enjoy their time with JoJo.  Enjoy the sweet fun bath time pictures, they girls bathe together most every night and they both love it.  We can't wait for Hayden to sit up so she can really get in on the fun.

I'm with Miller!

While taking Hayden's weekly picture I couldn't help but think of sweet Baby Miller.  I had a little fun with photoshop afterwards adding the phrase "I'm with Miller" to her white onesie.  Hayden is with Miller...are you?  Learn more about sweet Miller and the wonderful things The Miller McNeil Woodruff foundation is doing here.

Crawling 101

Miss Hayden is getting a little better with tummy time these days.  She is beginning to roll over pretty good when she wants to but most of the time she just likes to stay put and watch everyone... especially her crazy big sister.  This weekend Landry decided to give her a little crawling lesson. It's going to take some practice but Landry will be a great teacher {or boss}however you want to look at it.

Welcome Baby Victoria

Our GROWING family has welcomed another baby Girl!  Miss Victoria Rees was born on Feb.13th.  As you can see Big Sister Stella is loving her new playmate.  You can read all about baby Vic's arrival on her Mommy's blog.  We are so excited to now have 5 little princesses in the family.  We will be in Arkansas in a few weeks and I can wait to get all the girls together for a group photo.  

Here was a picture taken last summer in FL when we were all three preggers.  What were the odds we would all be having girls?  Sorry guys!

look alike pic of the week

When I got home yesterday Trey told me the picture I posted of Hayden reminded him of one we had take of Landry in FL.  He was right.  Almost the exact same pose.  Landry is almost 6 months old in this picture and Hayden is almost 5 months.
