A Day in the Life of a Spit-Up Monster

So.... Molly spits-up... A LOT. I thought I would chronicle an average day of spitting up just so we could remember all the good times. Ahhhh, wasn't it fun when...... I will number the spit-ups and the outfits. Also there are a few spit-ups that were inconvenient for a picture (shocking!) so I would add about two or three dooseys to the ones below for a real count of the average day. Enjoy.

Spit-up # 1

Outfit # 1

Please take note of the projectile vomit to the side. It really is quite a talent, I am thinking of getting Molly a show in Vegas. Note the spread of liquid around the mass of the projectile, we've been working on that.

Spit-up # 2

Outfit # 2

She is quite pleased with herself and her performance here. Personally, I was a little disappointed- I have seen better from her.

Spit-up # 3

Outfit # 3
Just a cute little one. This one was a little preview for the one coming....

Spit-up #4

Still outfit # 3
Yeah, this one was awesome. I am glad that we didn't change her clothes after 3. Please take note of the trail of spit-up that leads to a little puddle behind her head- yummy.

Spit-up # 5

Outfit # 4
Another sideways one. How does she do it? My baby has MAD SKILLS!

Spit-up #6

Naked
So Daddy-o took one for the team here. I love it when Blake gets splashed and yes I mean splashed.

Spit-up # 7

PJ'S

You bath them, drench them in sweet baby smelling lotion and this is how they repay you. Dang it all, she is just too cute to get mad at her.

Spit-up #8
Outfit- I've lost count- it's a bib and we were at Costco

Okay, so the alien baby in these pictures is Molly. She launched one at Costco and Blake took some shots with his camera, hence the weird looking head and the tiny pictures. It is hard to see, but trust me, this was a goooood spit-up.

37 things

1. Do you like blue cheese? Love it. I love blue cheese salad dressing. It is my favorite.
2. Have you ever smoked? Depends on what your smoking…just kidding. No- I have never partaken. 3. Do you own a gun? Nope- I am not a gun fan. Blake really wants to get one though. I will have to find some way to distract him….
4. What flavor Kool-Aid was your favorite? Grape. In Junior high we used to temporarily dye our hair using Kool-Aid (the ones without sugar- duh!) It didn’t work well with my dark hair, but all my friends with light hair it work really well.
5. Do you get nervous before doctor appointments? Always. I have a doomsday outlook on a lot of things. I am always positive that they will find something horrifically wrong with me.

7. Favorite Christmas movie? This is a hard one. It’s a Wonderful Life (although Blake insists that this IS NOT a Christmas movie- he is part Nazi) or A Christmas Carole with George C. Scott
8. What do you prefer to drink in the morning? Tea (herbal, OF COURSE!)
9. Can you do pushups? Yes. They used to be a part of my regular routine in college before I went to bed. I was positive that one day I would need that upper body strength. I can’t do them currently because I am afraid of pushing a clot (a more detailed blog will follow)
10. What’s your favorite piece of jewelry? I guess I have to say my wedding ring or else I will look like a jerk… But I LOVE earrings- I feel as if they make my large face (it's a little fat) look slimmer.
11. Favorite hobby? Reading, I have a reading addiction.
12. Do you have ADD? No- but I am positive that Owen does.
13. Do you wear glasses/contacts? No.
14. Middle name? Fordney- It is soooo kick-A. It’s a family name and I really, really wanted our first daughter to have it as a middle name, but Blake hates it. So sad…
15. Name three thoughts at this exact moment. Why does my chest hurt so much, is it infected? ( I just weaned Molly)- I need to clean up the house- I need to go turn on the baby monitor.
16. Name three drinks you regularly drink. Water, Tea, Milk
17. Current worry? Besides my Boobs (pardon my trashiness- but they HURT)- the kids, always the kids.

34. What vehicle do you drive? A freaking awesome 1995 Pontiac Grand Prix- don’t be jealous!35. Worst injury you’ve ever had? When I was going to Weber I had to go to the business fair for one of my classes. I was dressed in these black pinstriped pants with a cuff on the bottom and a white dress shirt with a super cute pink sweater vest with black piping. Now why am I describing my outfit- because of the pink vest- I HAD to wear my pink stilettos with a cute little bow over the toes. Anyhow…. We were leaving the business fair- going down those HUGE marble stairs and OH NO- my pink stiletto got caught in the cuff of my black pinstriped pants. It was awful and embarrassing. You could hear this collecting GASP (there were a TON of people there.) Any way, my arms were full with my purse, books, and pamphlets from the fair. I fell- no I crashed- down a whole flight of HARD, COLD stairs. Everything went flying. Cell phone, calculator, all my precious lip glosses. I was sooooo banged up. I had bruises everywhere. When I got home I had a bloody nose. It hurt to walk for the next week. To this day- I can’t wear those pants with any sort of heal for fear of them getting caught and taking a spill.
36. Do you love where you live? Love it. Love my house, love my yard, love my neighbors.
37. How many televisions do you have in your house? Technically 2- but one is in the basement and we don’t really use it. Blake doesn’t allow TV’s in the bedroom.

Jennie continued...

I had soooooo many pictures that I had to choose from. These are just a sampling of the woman that is The Jennie. She has been such a great friend over the many years. I love her and I am grateful for all the fun memories she has provided. Enjoy all the awesome pictures!!!

Happy Birthday Jennie!!

Dearest friends and bloggers- today is Jennie Freakin' Wilder's birthday and in tribute (and payback) I wanted to do a blog dedicated to her sweet, sweet honey buns. Now I am experiencing some technical difficulties with the scanner- so you will have to tune in tomorrow for the tastiest morsels- but until I have fulfilled my quest to do honor to the magnificent Jennie- some more recent photos will have to do. But I promise that Junior high-early college years will be here tomorrow!!!
