Swimming If you Can Call it That

Oh For the Love of Teeth!

Riley has figured out that she can not only use her teeth for eating but she can use them as a weapon. Her favorite target is her cousin Abi who, really doesn't start to cry until Riley starts to SHAKE while she's biting because she's biting so hard. I have tried to keep a binki in her mouth to prevent any wandering fingers or arms to receive a little nibble, but the binkin has given her a rash around her mouth because she slobbers behind it. so if people aren't commenting on the fact that she's biting their kid, their talking about how she has a rash around her mouth. Yes, I'm aware of the rash and Yes I'm aware that she's biting a chunk out of your kids arm, so if you could please keep your kids appendages away from her, it would help everyone out. Someone asked the other day if she had bit the dog yet, but luckily she hasn't because Penny is smart enough to stay out of her way most of the time. that and i'm pretty sure Riley isn't dumb enough to get a mouthful of hair. I'm getting tired of having to be the only responsible for the fact that she is biting someone else. She's only bit unprovoked once and that's because Rowan screamed at her and she didn't like it so, I guess you could say that was provoked. I'm completely aware that biting is naughty and that she needs to be taught that it's unacceptable but I'm not going to bite my kid to show her what it feels like. So, so far it's just been spank her and hold her in time out for a minute, make her give her cousins love, unless it's Rowan cause he just runs away, and watch her to make sure she doesn't do it again... really what else can I do? She's bit one cousin on the Tucker side and it was Kenzie while they were trying to play with each other, but other than that one time she gets along with Kenzie and Landon really well. So really I'm not looking for suggestions as to how to deal with it, I'm just venting. Maybe we'll get a muzzle.

I Don't Know if You Noticed...

Hey everybody I don't really have any news other than my husband bought us a suh-weet camera because My bro-in-law let us borrow his to take pictures of Tim's brother and his wife for their sealing (! Yay for Dustin and Mercedes!) But I'll do more about the camera once I learn more about it, it's a little complicated and I'm excited Tim is so stoked about learning photography. Anyways, I've added a NEW BLOG for you to follow and check out from my blog. It's Called Mila's Daydreams and it's just this woman who is on maternity leave and poses her sleeping baby in different poses according to whatever she thinks her baby is dreaming about and I have to say this baby is flippin' adorable. this woman's name is Adele and she lives in Helsinki which explains all the way cool fabrics and clothes her baby is wearing. It's just so creative I had to share! Check it out! www.milasdaydreams.blogspot.com

My Justy is Leavin Me! But For a Good Reason...

Justin got his mission call to Kennewick, Washington, which we all remember because I posted about it. I think. Today is the day that he reports to the missionary training center in Provo, Utah. I'm so excited for him, but so bummed out for me. Ever since Mom brought him home from the hospital as a little pudgy baby he has been a bag of giggles. Anything that comes out of his mouth today has perfect comedic timing, it's just impossible to find anyone who can make me laugh as much as my little bro does. So just as a little good bye to him we'll see you when little Bridgette is almost 2, here's some pictures of him and we all hope that stays safe and that he has the best mission ever. We love you J! (when I say we, I mean that mostly from me, although Tim does love Justin, he's not going to shout it out on the internet.)
