The Pretty Dress Monster

We have created a monster and it wears "pretty dresses." Evy's normal uniform is $4 leggings and $4 shirts from Target. This spring I bought her a couple of dresses and she fell in love! She twirls around, grabs the side of the dress and smiles. She repeats "Piddy Dess" about 2.3 million times. It's starting to get out of hand because now she throws a fit if she can't wear her "Piddy Dess". Last night she didn't want to take a bath because that meant the "Piddy Dess" had to be removed. This morning I got her out of her crib and her first words were "Piddy Dess?" I ended up putting the damn thing on over her pajamas to get her to calm down. I've resorted to hiding the "Piddy Dess." I can't say that I'm surprised that my daughter is this obsessed with fashion. It's probably considered pay-back.

Dangerous

Having a little girl to shop for is very dangerous. Jeggings and plaid? What could be cuter?

Who Dat?

Evy must be a Saints fan. She points at everything and asks "Who Dat?" She is using "who" when she should be using "what". Or, maybe she's just a big fan of Drew Brees.

Clouds

The other day after school Evy was pretty obsessed with the clouds. She was running around the yard screaming "Run mom! The clouds are coming!" I showed her how to lay down in the grass and look up at the clouds. Now, she'll drop to the grass at any random time to get a good look.

Resting Comfortably

My surgery was at 7:15 Wednesday morning. It only took 45 minutes and by 10:30 we were on our way home. I was pleasantly surprised how smoothly everything went! So far this experience has been a breeze compared to natural childbirth, mostly because this time around I've had a ready supply of drugs. I got sent home with a VascuTherm (pictured) and some great pain meds. I'm taking advantage of both of them--spending most of my time, with leg elevated, snoozing on and off. I'm using crutches to get around, but can walk short distances. Tomorrow I will start reducing my pain meds to see how sore my knee really is. So far things are going well. Maybe I'll be running a 5K by Halloween...

One To Remember

I've started a picture collage wall with Evy's milestone photos. It's not nearly as cool as the one pictured, but it does the job. I have her 18 month photos in the frames, laying on the floor, ready for Scott to hang whenever we get a chance. Last night Evy spotted the pictures on the floor and went running over to them. She declared "Oh no! Eddie fall down!" She was so worried that her pictures had fallen off the wall. No worries honey. You didn't fall down. Mommy is just 6 months behind!

Lazy Mom= Copyright Infringement

I have gotten so lazy with my picture taking! We had a great weekend and I captured nothing in photos! Friday we went to visit my new nephew Mason and Evy had so much fun playing with her cousin Jacob. It was really adorable--they are the best of buddies! Scott and I went on to Wisconsin for a wedding on Saturday and had a blast with our college friends. Not one picture to prove that any of this actually happened. Maybe it was a dream?!?! Thank goodness my sister-in-law is on top of her game. I stole all of these adorable pictures from her blog.
