sarah kate didn't want to sit with santa claus this year. she was very nervous and afraid and tried to pull us away. she yelled her wishes to him as we stood in line (while the boy in front of us had his turn no less). "merida costume, tangled costume, ariel costume!!!!!!!!" (ariel costume is new....hmmmm...santa thought he was done sewing all her costumes;) )
but wouldn't you know our ole santa here at the town center in mt. p is pretty darn awesome - and super funny;) when it was the girl's turn he worked his santa magic, we got the pics and sk got a sucker. success. i'm still shocked that no tears were shed from either lucy lady.
the ladies taking pics were trying so hard to get hayes to smile. trey finally was like, "look, she's just a real serious baby!" ha! we didn't want to stand there all night for crying out loud.
but alas, mommy was able to get her little love bug to grin.....
hayes spreads her arms out like this alot. maybe it's a reflex thing. she definitely has an immature nervous system - scares really easily, jumps at noises and such. the dr said it's "normal" so i guess eventually it will mature and she won't nearly fall off her changing pad every time she hears a noise. maybe she does the arm thing because she thinks she's a bird like her big sis.
so anyway.
sk loves to read. no she can't really read, she's 3. but she will pick up a book and tell a story! well, there is a little nursing book that was in one of my many newborn packages from either the hospital or doctors office. i'm not sure where sk found it but i see it all the time in her little play areas. the other day she sat down on the kitchen rug and said, "come on mom, it's carpet time. come listen to my story!" my little teacher in the making - she loves reenacting her school days. so i go and sit down and she holds this book up......

and then she says, "now mom, i want you to listen to this story about Jesus. are you listening? this is baby Jesus and his mommy, mary. see baby Jesus?" me: "mmmmm, yes, i see." then she opens it (there are ZERO pics in this book - all words) and she tells the story of the night when Jesus was born. and all the while the words she is reading are actually explaining how to get your new baby to latch onto your breast properly.
never a dull moment over here.

okay, you know how in hayes' 5 month post i wrote all about how she was sleeping through the night and napping so well??? scratch that. all of a sudden she is really struggling! it's not because she is hungry. it is her teeth. sk began teething symptoms at 4 months and her first tooth appeared at 6 months. hayes has been having symptoms for a while but they have heightened over the past 2 days. she barely even wants her paci when we lay her down because she just wants to chew on her hands. she wants me to hold her and drool just pours out of her mouth. she has been quite happy today, but was never able to get comfy enough to nap! she did go down easy tonight - exhausted from not napping i guess.
what do you do when you don't want to sleep?? take pics of course=)

when i finally had to get some things done around the house i put her in the swing and stuck a paci in her mouth. i thought this look was so funny!....."what??? you're leaving me??"
and finally - i'd like to admit that i have a problem. i love love love love love the soap "the bold and the beautiful." i record it everyday and watch it at night. it's only a 30 minute soap which means minus commercials it takes me about 15 minutes to watch it. but i'm so obsessed with it that i find myself thinking about it throughout the day...."oh how i hope that liam and hope find out the truth and that he dumps steffy and runs back to hope" or "oh brooke i was finally starting to like you!! how could you make out with your sister's husband???" etc. perhaps i need to see someone about this. ha! i have been watching cbs soaps on and off ever since i was way too young to be watching that trash.
trey growls at me when he sees me grab the remote and search for my guilty pleasure. but i think he secretly likes it because he sure as heck knows what is going on with those crazy forrester's.
