Its official...

I have a diva in the house....
But I only have myself to blame.
I think she walks on water.
She can do no wrong.
To those of you who think she is the happiest baby they have ever seen, please abort and exit this blog immediately
.
Otherwise----scroll down to witness....the tantrum.
This little girl has it down!
This is Petunia two seconds after I put her in her activity center this afternoon:




This all happened in a matter of 5-7 seconds.
Bipolar?
Maybe.
Absolute perfection?
Of course!
I think its her eyelashes that make me want to giggle when they get wet from her tears. She looks like a little doll.

This little girl seems to be living out my fantasy: Never wearing the same outfit twice.
Yes--this girl has outfits she has never worn in her closet and she might outgrow before she has a chance to wear them.
Blasphemy!
I feel so bad getting rid of adorable outfits/dresses that were washed and hung up months ago...and never saw daylight. So sad.

Petunia wants hair so badly.
One of my favorite things to do now is to keep her onesie on her head and swing it back and forth on her like hair.


I just cannot picture this little bug with hair!
Its definitely not going to get as dark as my hair is.
But its lighter than the boys' hair ever was.
And with all the blond fuzz on her head...I think I am going to have a "toe-head" with chia pet hair like her oldest brother.
We shall see.
"Tooney" just turned five months a few days ago...and we just LOVE LOVE LOVE her to pieces. (yes--as you can tell I have lots of nicknames for her)
She likes to try and "coo" along with me when I sing to her. My new favorite is "Single Ladies" by Beyonce. When I change her diaper or get her dressed I sing and dance and she just tries to sing along. FINALLY a dancing/karaoke partner is in my future. Of course Tubbs will humor me sometimes and dance a jig for me.

Nevermind the post-Botox look Tubbs has going on. He has a band-aid on his lower lip to keep him from biting it.
Hey--whatever works!
Never a dull moment in our house!
The good thing about having bugs is we don't have to leave the house for entertainment.

This has nothing to do with your post although it was great. I have been meaning to tell you that your Christmas card was by far my favorite. I was laughing so hard. Please keep us on your list.

Precious, precious, precious. I think it's adorable how she went from tantrum to smiling for the paparazzi in seconds. She's ready for Hollywood, baby!

This is so my Alyssa. I call her Jeckyl /Hyde. In some ways I admire it. She isn't like a normal girl and drag the drama on ALL day long like her sister.

That Stop Wasn't On My Itinerary....

So the Hogue's made it to Florida for our first official family vacation. It was Sawyer's first plane ride....and Simon's first plane ride that he can remember. We were excited....the boys were stoked. We had everything we needed! But it seems that Sawyer packed something with him that wasn't on our checklist: a big case of pneumonia. Yes, the little fella made it almost one whole day in Florida before he started heading downhill fast. Our 2nd day in Orlando we were in the Urgent Care south of Cocoa Beach. (By the way, to see a doctor more quickly, it helps if you vomit all over the waiting room in front of the receptionist. Little tip for ya) After chest x-rays they advised us to head to the ER in Melbourne, where they eventually admitted him to the hospital. So, we had 3 night deluxe accommadations at the Holmes Regional Medical Center. The little whipper snapper was a trooper though! The nurses loved him, thankfully, and made us all feel right at home. We were going to send postcards out with pictures of the hospital since we spent 40% of our trip there...but they didn't have any. Imagine that!Hmmm.....maybe its something they should consider.
