Hey John, does this remind you of anyone?

US! Before Brooklyn came along.

Get your swagger on!

So how can I make this my new ringtone??

Highs & Lows

High
Giving Brooklyn a big hug before dropping her off at daycare.

Low
Feeling dampness on your arm right where her bottom is.

Lower
Looking to see that the dampness is brown.

High
Realizing that none of "it" got on your work shirt...YAY!

Daddy is a Song Writer

And a very funny one at that!

He penned these lyrics as if I were singing to Brooklyn to the tune of "She'll be coming around the mountain when she comes."

There's a cutie in my utie, Get her out.
There's a cutie in my utie, Scream and shout.
There's a cutie in my utie, I can't wait to pinch her booty,
There's a cutie in my utie, Get her out.

Daddy is as funny as a man can be,
He makes mommy have to laugh and have to pee,
Daddy is so very funny, that I have to scream "Stop honey!"
Daddy is so very funny, you will see.

Brooklyn Bassett is the name that we do like,
If you really think it stinks then take a hike,
Brooklyn Bassett is so awesome that the other names we tossed em'
Brooklyn Bassett is the name that we do like.

They'll all come out to see her two by two,
But the only things she does is sleep and poo,
She is beautiful there sleepin' so these memories I'm keepin'
We love you little honey, yes we do.

Oh....My.....Goodness

My friend Lisa seems to think this is what our Bean will be like. Her assessment is probably correct. Lord, please have mercy!

Pregnancy Undies

Now I won't discuss my views on the great thong debate - To Floss or Not To Floss - but I found this list and wanted to share.

The Top 9 Marketing Slogans for a Maternity Thong

9. Lose yourself in a thong. Or vice versa.

8. Being pregnant doesn't mean you have to stop looking like a hussy.

4. Absolutely NOT zesty!

3. Appearing in Sisqo's nightmares since 1998!

2. A butt *that* big should be flaunted.

and the number 1 marketing slogan for the maternity thong....

Belly Development @ 20 weeks

I figure it's time to post some belly shots. I mean, I AM 1/2 way to the finish line.




For reference, this picture was taken at 16 weeks. Now that I compare the two, I do see some progress. Grow Bean Grow!

How twins are made...mystery SOLVED!

Minced?! Have you ever caught a minced fish?!

This commercial comes on every day at lunch time and my coworkers and I crack up. Maybe we shouldn't because the kid is kind of demanding and bratty, but it's just so funny!

Geek Baby Shirts

Can't stop laughing!

John, hope you are ready for this...

Best Quote Ever

So Saturday we had lunch with John's grandparents, Papa & Nana. Despite his 86 years, Papa still has tons of spirit. They both really enjoy any bit of time they get to spend with their only great-grandson, Caleb. Time spent with him is limited for all of us because Caleb's parents share custody.

Papa did not mince words as he cautioned: "If I don't get to see this great-grandbaby more than I get to see Caleb, I'm going to stomp a mud hole in someone's back side!"

I heard this and choked with laughter. Did Papa just threaten us? Hahahahaha! I don't know what that even means but it sounds painful. Something about kicking our butts? Ouch!
