Raising a baby in a toddler's world....of CLOTHES that is~

so, when I was pregnant....I did lots of shopping...surprise surprise...but it's fun to buy clothes and I wanted Erika to have clothes of her own and not just all hand me downs.
I went to All about kids alot which is a 2nd hand store for babies. I found this adorable outfit of green cords and peach zip up sweater that I just HAd to buy! I didn't expect to see my toddler in it for along time since it's 18mo-2yr but lo and behold today it came out of the closet.....
this girl is crazy. she's wearing the outfits megan was wearing at 18-20mos old! the pants were a a little long, but other than that..it fit perfectly....well I couldn't zip up the hoodie very well cause it was so tight lol...

Don't you just want to sqeeze her??!! I swear I have the cutest chubbiest babies in the world!!

(Okay, so maybe i'm a LITTLE biast:))

On Wednesday...

Katie and Trent and the girls were on their way to Seattle so they stopped in for dinner and the girls got to play!
they had soooooooooo much fun as you will see:)

Katie has the pictures of us...don't forget to send them dude!

Beautiful little Lucy...

Erika practically attacked her when she saw her, she was SO excited!!

The two monkies....

Erika is pretending to like pacifiers....

Back together at last....Lily is SO tall...they are 15mo's apart but only about 1.5 inches apart! haha

I L.O.V.E this one!

I hope they stay friends forever.

It's so crazy to think back to when Lily was just a baby and Meg too...they've totally grown up together the last 2.5yrs. So sweet!

And now for the video.......crap the video's not working....

well this is what was going on in the video:

Megan and Lily were in her room playing...(well WRESTLING actually!..what a bunch of 'boys' lol) and then Lucy crawled back there....and then Erika followed..it was really cute to see the babies follow the big girls back there and to see them all playing together-such a precious moment. I just love all 4 of these girls!!

missing my family:(

So Steve and Megan have gone to Canada for his Nana's funeral....I couldn't go b/c of course I had a wedding:(:(.....I thought I would enjoy having some time alone but to be honest...we're just bored! well...not that i've had much time to BE bored b/c i'm been working so much.....and why aren't I alseep right now? anyway....tonight Erika and I were just laying on the floor playing and the house was so silent....no megan running around trying to get Erika's attention and make her laugh...No steve wrestling with the girls or updating his website! LOL..okay...he'll laugh if he reads that. anyway...I just realized...I don't want a break!:( I love my little family and I miss them. what the heck are Erika and I going to do for 2 more days? I talk to her..but lets face it...she doesn't exactly engage in conversation with me....unless you consider "Da!"..or " yaya" conversation..
She is reallly smart though...she can wave bye bye now...but she says "yayayaya" while waving..it's pretty cute.

well, i'm off to bed....i'm such an idiot for not being in bed sooner...I found some blogs of old friends from my mission and that just lead to reading one blog after another...how do I get pulled into this darn computer all the time?! ugh...
anyway, night night:)

Come Join me on a walk...

Down Memory Lane!

It's fun to see the comments people have left on the other blogs I've read!

I got this from Katie's blog...it's fun!:)

Isn't it Ironic?

The ONE day out of the week that I go to work, she starts CRAWLING!
Little monkey!
Steve called me at my wedding to tell me!
anway..when I got home..she crawled over to me. cutest thing ever!!!
(Oh and dont' let Megan trying to hijack the movie distract you from Erika crawling in the background! lol)

Sooooooooooooo Big!

So, we have this little tradition in our family.....when we were little babies, my mom would say "How big is Nicole?" or Tracey..or Tina....anyway...then she'd say "Sooooooo big!" and we'd raise our hands over our heads....it's pretty cute.
anyway, All 3 of us girls have taught our babies to do the same thing....
so, here's is Erika mastering it. make sure you watch the 2nd one...it's pretty cute and So on Q!

He's Pinned!

So tonight was Steve's pinning Ceremony:) As they move from 3rd to 4th year and go into the outpatient clinic, they get Pinned:)

He was asked to speak at the ceremony and he did a fabulous job! a perfect mix of humor and emotion. I was so proud of him:) I brought Megan with me and she had to promise me to sit still through the whole thing. She did a GREAT job...was very well behaved. She still amazes me sometimes and I realize I take her for granted. Not many 3yr olds can be that well behaved for that long, she did a great job!Here are some pictures from tonight.

A funny part in Steve's talk..you can see the faculty behind him laughing:)

That's my boy....Witty AND Cute!;)
Steve getting Pinned:)

Steve's class
Us with the munchkin....Erika was at home in bed:)
Me and soon to be "Dr. Wagner"
me and Leila....one of Steve's classmates

It was a great night. I'm SO proud of Steve. He has done an amazing job this last 3yrs and he is obviously well respected by his classmates which I think is really important. He inspires me to be my best b/c he always strives for Excellence.

I love you Steve!
