Missing a Baby

Yesterday my good friend Brie came down with her two children to play for spring break. I also had agreed to watch my nephew Mason who is only 5 months old. So, we had Dakota-almost 3, Brooklyn-2, Oakley-1, Peyton-6 months and Mason-5 months. We were crazy enough to go out in public, we 2 vs. 5 kids under 3 years old. We went to Olive Garden for lunch and then Chuck E Cheese to play. At one point, we were loading up the van with all the kids (a huge process) and everyone was loaded except Peyton, who was positioned next to Dakota in the back. Dakota suddenly yelled, "WE'RE MISSING A BABY!" LOL. He was just the last one to be loaded. We cracked up laughing. Pretty observant of her! I guess no kid is getting left behind as long as Dakota is in charge!

Ultrasound

Well, we are pregnant with #3 and very excited. I tried to explain to Dakota that there is a baby in my tummy. She believes me but doesn't quite make sense yet. After our first ultrasound, I showed her the picture of the baby. In her mind, I think the u/s looked like a skirt with a baby on the middle of it. She exclaimed, "It's missing mamma's head and mamma's arms. Where's her legs?"

LOL. I tried to explain it was just a picture of my tummy but she still thinks we screwed up on the picture! haha

Stuck in the Computer

We tried Skype tonight for the first time. We video-chatted with my Aunts Shelley and Kim. It took a while for Dakota to get use to it. At first, she was munching on some chips and Shelley suggested she give her one and opened her mouth wide. Dakota told her, "You can't do dat! You's stuck in the computer Shelley!"

Very true. Very true, Dakota.

ahahahaha... :)

My Mommy, My Kass

Dakota came walking in our room this morning while Doug was dressing for work and exclaimed, "Hey! What are you doing here?" He in turn asked her the same question and she replied "No, because this is my mommy, my Kass."

So there you have it.

Water in My Eyes

Dakota always needs a little adjusting time when she wakes up. The other day, she was having a hard time waking from a nap and was being very sensitive. Something that happened made her sad. Doug was holding her and trying to make her feel better and she started crying. The fact that she was crying seemed to make her more upset and she exclaimed. He asked her why she was crying. She replied, "Because there's water in my eyes! Did you see?!" (tears) We couldn't help but laugh. It was the first time she realized she had tears coming down. She didn't understand what was happening and was so bothered by the "water" in her eyes.
