Can't Hardly Wait!

Some exciting news popped in my E-mail today.  The purpose of the trip I'm not supposed to post about, but you wont be in suspense for long (just a week).  Leighty, Hubby, and I will be going to San Deigo next week for a few days. This little trip is super good news, because now I will have something fun to write about for the end of 31 for 21. We'll hopefully get to take lots of pictures of our trip. Me and the Spouse feel super irresponsible, and a little bit crazy.  We're usually not this spontaneous, but I'm forcing him to take a few days off work, and join me on this little adventure.  We take off Tuesday, and I have lots of schedules to juggle (as the other two children are staying with family).  Hopefully this turns out to be a great time.

Root Canal

So I'm sitting here with an icepack on my face, and a tooth that feels like it wants to explode.  How can my tooth feel worse now then when it had the crater in it?  I had a filling fall out, oh about 6 weeks ago.  Do you think I could manage to drag myself to the dentist before it was a problem?  Nope! I mean who really wants to go to the dentist? I kept saying, I'll call in 10 minutes, an hour, tomorrow.  I didn't I waited until it started throbbing.  So I guess it really is like the oxygen mask on an air plane.  We need to take care of ourselves too.  If I would have called fist thing I could be taking care of my kids right now, instead of dumping them on the husband. Also I wouldn't have and icepack on my face, and be contemplating taking one of those percocet's left over from having little Leighty.

Super wonderful.

Leigh-sele
While Leighty's daddy is watching Transformers 3; I figured I better post before it hits midnight, and it's officially tomorrow.  The problem is I don't know what to write about today.  I actually don't even like to write.  I'm not a writer, but I like to journal.  So how about a journal entry?

Leighton is almost 6 months, WHAT?  It has gone fast and she is still pretty tiny.  She has slowly grown out of her 0-3 month clothes and fits in 3-6 months.  I love choosing one of her new cute outfits, that are lined up neatly in her closet. There are some outfits I packed up (on Saturday) that I'm sad she will never get to wear again.  I don't know if I will be able to pass them over to another family member to wear.  It will be hard to see anyone else fill them as cute as she has, but maybe after some time I will actually like to see a beloved new niece struttin' it up in her cute duds.

Dressing her is one of my favorite things to do.  I love making her mow-curl. Dressing her in something adorable. Putting on her bracelets, and get the headband that looks the best.  I call her my baby supermodel, and walk her to the mirror and say "look at my cute baby".  She smiles so big.  She loves seeing herself in the mirror.  Who can blame her, she is so adorable.  I think when I first had her I thought I will dress her so cute, and maybe people wont notice she has Ds.  That lasted about a day, and now I could careless.  She gets all spruced up because she has the cutest little body.  She has short little legs, and arms.  These tiny feet and the prettiest hands.  She's so cute  and I can't help but spoil her.  I know this is horrible, and I better get a handle on it before she a total punk.  For now, though, she is just so happy, and peaceful, and when she smiles she has those eyes that look like rainbows. She just makes my heart full. So until she's big enough to realize she's spoiled rotten, and all these accessories are a bit annoying, she's going to be dressed to the nines.

I used to wonder why having her extra chromosome didn't make her super human.  Oh wait it does make her super, A baby super model!

 Leighty's "blue steel" look (zoolander).

 and "papa" razzi finally got Mom in some pics (just don't notice that lovely cold sore), she doesn't get her supermodel skills from me, but this is as good as it gets.
All us girls blowing raspberries!
