Are you kidding me?

Alexandra's new thing is to push cousin Bentley around in her stroller, with my shoes on, with a purse slung over her shoulder or hung on one of the stroller handles. She thinks she is so big - she really is growing up fast. It's bitter sweet to think of her as a big sister, because she is my baby! Did anyone else feel like that with baby #2 on the way? Anyway, she walks around the house pretending (with any object) that she's on the phone saying "what?" and then followed by other words and some jibber. Two days ago I heard her playing with her toys downstairs saying "Are you kidding me?". I had to laugh. I say that when I am frustrated or think some person is an idiot on the road and instead of using some euphimism, I say "are you kidding me?". It is the cutest thing ever to hear her say it! I need to get it on video and post it.

I would seriously love to get Alex and Nora together. And YES...I think every Mother feels a little bit bad for their first "baby" when the second is born. You'll love it though, and so will she!

We have one of those strollers too. My kids play with it EVERY DAY! They push each other around in cirlces on my wood floor. They weave in and out of my legs, around furniture, through the spilled juice on the floor, over body parts, etc. So cute that she's talking. :)

P.S. I love that you have traveled so much too. Isn't it the best? We should put together a trip!!

Alex is so cute! I love it when they start using their imaginations and mimick. This is a really fun age! I have a bad habit of saying to Trey, "I said now!" So now when he wants something he says, " Mama, I said now!" I love it! So cute when they copy mom and dad.

Seriously it sound like Brooklyn and Alex are the same little girls! "Are you kidding me?" is Brooklyn's line! And I can totally relate to your feeling of how crazy it is to see you're "baby" being a big sister and not little anymore! It really hits me sometimes that Brooklyn isn't a "baby" anymore, it just so crazy!

Yes. You should for sure come next month. Becky Tyler, Haley Dawson, Sarah Johnson, Juli Hall & Sarah Swenson. I usually invite Jen and Kellie Camac, but they haven't come yet. Kellie said she would come in March. We are going to do it on the last Wed of March. Email me your email - the only one I have is the kirklandgroup one. Is that the right one?

Seriously this is the cutest picture of Ally girl and Benters. I just want to eat them up. Mel I was thinking about you tonight when I was cleaning my bathroom. I wanted to call you, but I figured you would be in bed...since you like to go to bed early.
