Blankie Love

My good friend, Melissa, made these blankets for my girls.  Ruby really loves her - she sleeps with it every night, and she has started to tear it apart with her teeth, and it pretty much always smells like baby spit.  Yuck. Since Ruby has been so attached with her blanket, Auburn has started to take an interest in her own.  (Read: Whenever Ruby touches her blanket it become the most prized possession in the world.)  I love it when they play with each other.  They are the best girls in the world!

Roller Derby Super Star

(in training)

Auburn is the luckiest girl in the world. Aunt Denise found these super amazing, mint condition, pink and purple ribbons, Barbie roller skates. Auburn loves to put them on and stand around like a super star, which is just the first step on the road to derby stardom. If you don't know what roller derby is, here is a catch-you-up link. The posters are really where its at though. I know, she totally looks the part.

I would highly recommend a pair of super amazing, mint condition, pink and purple ribbon Barbie roller skates to any little-girl-turned-roller-derby-princess.

Two New Habits

Ok, Auburn has exhibited two new habits over the past week. One, is sleeping on her tummy. YIKES! right? WRONG! My Aunt Janine gave us the coolest gift. At first I looked at it and thought "oh that's cool" but now I look at it and think "I can't live without you". Yes, you guessed it, she gave us the angel monitor......amazing. It tracks there movements, so if she stops breathing when her face is buried in her mattress, I will know. When they come out with the model that will flip your kid over for you, I will buy it.


The second, is by far more exciting.....she sticks out her tongue. I think my Dad might call that the "concentrating tongue", but I don't know what she could be concentrating so hard on. The other possibility is that she's trying to cool her body temperature. I've considered feeding her peanut butter to see how long her tongue really is - but for now this giant baby picture will have to do.
