Mommy's Little Helper











Okay, so I am still falling down on my Blogger Mommy duties. Sorry that the posts have been few and far between over these past months. I really have not taken many pictures of Mary Lindsey so in the evenings I have nothing to put on the blog. But today, I caught her in action, so I thought I would share some of what is going on in our home these days.


With news of our new family addition arriving in August, I have been on a campaign to clean the "junk" out of my house. I need more storage room and closet space, so I have been doing little bits here and there to make the process a little less stressful. When I am doing clothes I will let Mary Lindsey help me because she loves taking the clothes out of baskets or bags and basically throwing them. Well, this morning I tackled a bunch of baby clothes that Mary Lindsey wore, and some she never did, that have been just sitting in my closet. I went through and picked out the ones that I wanted to use if the next baby was a girl and bagged up the rest to give to our local pregnancy center. After completing the process I placed everything neatly in the hallway for Larry to put in the storage room when he got home.

I then went to prepare Mary Lindsey's lunch. I was talking on the phone and cooking when I looked up and saw what you now see in these photos. I couldn't even get mad at her because she was so proud of herself and just having so much fun. So I got out my camera and laughed with her. She is just a mess these days, and so much fun!

Her favorite word is "dogs". She never uses the word in its singular form, only plural. And the way she says it is hilarious. Larry went in to get her out of bed this morning. He said her eyes were still sleepy and she seemed half asleep. But, she put her head on his shoulder and immediately said "dogs". How cute! She really is so thankful for her dogs Lucy and Bear.


Her other favorite thing is turning in circles while she sits on the floor. She will do this and clap her hands for the longest time. She is beginning to pull up on tables and chairs occasionally but has shown no real signs of walking in the near future. But she can crawl FAST! She is still a happy baby and melts your heart with her laugh. Oh, she started squealing last week. She will either be in the car or playing on the floor and just start squealing VERY LOUD for no apparent reason and then laugh about it. We hope she grows out of this soon. However, we think she is definitely going to talk our ears off. She is constantly talking now, even though we really can't understand a thing she says other than da-da, ma-ma, dogs, and bye. Enjoy the pictures, and hopefully more will follow soon!

(Notice in the last picture posted, Mary Lindsey now has her top two middle teeth! She looks so cute with them. We worked hard for those two teeth week before last. We had several nights with little sleep and stuffy nose and just plain fussy! But we made it through and now have two teeth to show for it! Our little girl is growing up so fast!)
