Will Power

Why is the last ten pounds of pregnancy weight the hardest to lose? They must be from the Townhouse cheeseburgers and onion rings and not Jameson! :) Hopefully going back to my routine of Smart Ones and running will solve the problem quickly because I have a ton of cute fall clothes I would like to fit into! :)

Two Year Check Up

Bennett had her two year old check up on Wednesday. She is 35 inches tall and weighs 33 1/2 pounds. She had to get her finger pricked which did not phase her in the least but boy did she scream when she had to get her Hepatitis shot! Not fun! She has also moved up to the two year old room at daycare and they are taking bathroom breaks during the day so hopefully we are on our way to becoming potty trained! It will be nice when we only have to buy one set of diapers! She is definitely in the terrible twos and can throw some mean temper tantrums and LOVES to tell mommy no but she is so cute when she does it, it is really hard to punish her but we try to be consistent! We love you Miss B!

Bennett's Second Birthday

Bennett turned 2 Monday! Time sure does fly by! We just had family and some close friends over Sunday night for ribs, pizza, and cake. Chris was in charge of videoing and unfortunately the videos are too long to upload onto this website. My dad took some still photos and I will add some when he emails them to me! Bennett was so excited about her new slide from mommy and daddy, as well as....
*her tea set and table and chairs from Noni and Pop
*dress up clothes and trunk from Mimi and Monkey
*shoes from Monkey
*stroller for her baby doll, peek a boo book, and Little Peoples school bus from
Aunt Holly and Uncle Rob
*Pillow Pet from Aunt Jessica, Uncle Michael, and Cullen
*and her cow bubble machine from Amie and Israel

We all just sat around and watched her play the rest of the evening! Chris and I took her to Edventure on Monday and she was TERRIFIED of Eddie! I have to say that the place looked a lot more fun on the internet than it was in person. I was very disappointed, but we had a good time being with our birthday girl none the less. We stopped off for a happy meal on the way home and was hoping to let her slide some more when we got home but it was pouring down rain, so we had a tea party and watched Shrek 2 instead! Life is good!
