Jaylee turned toddler overnight!

So when the boys started school back in August (Jaylee just tuning 7 months) I thought I would have at least a month of very easy, just lay there and enjoy kind of moments with Jaylee before she started getting mobile and therefore into things. This little girl had other plans . . .

Literally the first day of school for the boys she decides its time to do some growing up and hit some milestones of her own. She sat up all by herself!

That very same day when I went to get her from her morning nap I find this!

So that night Ryan moves her crib mattress to the lowest setting

So wow, what a lot to take in. But, she's not done . . . the next day she decides she wants to crawl.



and to top it off within the same week she learns to hold her own bottle


What will she do next . . . drive a car?!?! oh wait,

Late Night Treats

"Inside me lives a skinny women crying to get out. BUT, I can usually shut her up with cookies" -unknown


All I can say is that I have a major sweet tooth. My absolute favorite time of the day is when my kids are all in bed asleep, house and kitchen all cleaned up, pj's on, face washed and I finally get to sit down to watch a tv show that I recorded earlier on the DVR. To top it off I feel like I deserve a treat every night at the end of day. (don't all mothers!!) There is just nothing better! YUMMY! So here is a new treat I made that I thought turned out really well and looked good too so I took a picture of it! (recipe on picky palet blog) Now i can't figure out why I can't loose these last 12 pregnancy pounds??
