LOTS

Sorry it has been so long since a post. I am going to just throw in some pictures and think about writing more later another day.. Here are some funny pictures over the last month. Enjoy. My little baby is now 15 months old.


My Mom found her like this after a nap last week. How did she do that?

She loves pickles! This cracked the grandma's up so they took this picture.

Dadda's new game. Put letters all over her head!
Her new game! Squeez herself and everything else in this little box.

Botanical Gardens

Rolling on the prickly grass, tickle tickle

Just pure sweetness!

This was our first trip to the botanical gardens...Our group was my mom DeDe, Heidi (my mom's friend from Colorado), Mrs. Heather and my buddy Georgia. Playing with her is a lot of fun and I am looking forward to when we grow up a little more.. Next time we need to have a few more kids with us! I'm working on running here, running where they have to come catch me.
I have lots of fun with Mrs. Heather, she loves to make me laugh, she may have been singing one of her silly songs.

My mom said I needed a diaper change...but I don't like to participate most of the time...So, I wriggled out of my momma's grasp and if you will look past Georgia on the right side....yep that's my bum. Everyone thought it was so funny that I was in a public place with no pants on they decided to let me run "free" for a few minutes. BUT, Isn't Georgia so cute?

Frugality

I am doing my best to be as frugal as I can be. I am starting to see that it is making a difference. The one way that I am saving a ton of money is in our grocery shopping. I am using lots and lots of coupons and arranging my buys based on what is on sale for the week and trying to make meals out of those items.. Now, this is time consuming and using brain power which mine is not that strong anymore.. hahahaaaaa.. I will show you what I bought this week and show you what I paid:

$107.89 dollars of groceries.

sausage, butters, eggs, lots of frozen veggies, soups, dressings, baby food, baby washcloths, cresent rolls, bread rolls, bugles chips, fresh mozzerella, nuts and almonds and YObaby yougurt..

I paid: $52.10 out of my pocket. I had $23.00 worth of coupons to give and by buying the items on sale there was a $33 dollars in savings..

Now what can I do with it? I am going to make an egg casserole. I am going to make a pasta dish that will use the mozerella and some of the veggies and of course my pasta from last sale..Along with the breads that I bought. I am going to make a pizza out of the other pillsbury bread I got.

Matt uses dressing like crazy because he dips all his veggies in it for his lunch.. The fun about buying like this is that I have a stockpile of other groceries that will complement my buys today.. Yay!!!

A few of my friends have asked how I am saving the money and this is how.. My lovely friend Sherry Thomas has trained me into the art of coupons with shopping.. I have always used coupons but now there is a hard core strategy.

Busted

This is what happens when they are old enough to grab things off counters. This happened at light speed this afternoon when I went to the restroom! everything was out of my wallet, everything!

We are beginning teething season at the Lange household. It is finally here and I didn't even notice until my friend Heather pointed out her two little bulges this morning. SA did fine most

of the day but the evening ended in some trying times for the little one. But this is just part of it

and we are relieved that she DOES HAVE TEETH. She will be 14 mos when those little bugars make their appearance. Dr. Amy says that by 18mos all children have all their first teeth, so she is in for it in the next 4 mos. Please pray for her because she has a fresh new ear infection and if tonight was only a hint of what is to come, she needs your prayers.

Biter bisquit ~ trying anything to help give her some relief. Now that is a baby in need of a clean-up!

A few new things

She loves to share and gets very happy when you eat it.

A sure sign of Spring! She looks adorable in these little flippies and even walked decently in them. Her foot looks big in this picture but she is still in a size 3 with room to grow.

Like Dadda, like daughter! Weird positions!

SOME new things

Just a few things here: Happy Birthday Papa, we love you bunches eventhough her face looks unhappy.

A few things to notice:

Hair. Bufont, whispy and wavy. Bows are out of the question with her at this present time. Every time she goes down for a nap or for bed, there is NO TELLING what her hair will look like when she wakes up. It is buck wild.

Body: She is a big girl. She is walking very prissy. She swings her bottom and sashays all over the house while insisting on carrying at least one item in her hand. She always has one hand with her fingers pointed to the ground. She is a dainty little walker.. BUT watch out because she is into climbing. Pictures soon to come of the places we are beginning to find her.

Leisure time: She is all about text messaging. Not for real but sometimes even calls people and no, she hasn't called 9-1-1 yet. She enjoys reading her books. All day! This last week she realized that there were things hanging on the wall and items sitting on shelves. Hilarious. She wakes up and the first things she does is point to picture on the wall and says "HEY". She also likes looking at the babies/kids on the refrigerator.

Time change: whatever! The baby had no understanding of a time change and some of these pics where she has no pants on were taken at nap time when her body refused a nap until about 4 pm. Thankfully we are back on track and it is Thursday.. She is back to sleep at 7p now.

hope you enjoy. luv

such moments

Kellen did a photo shoot with the 3 of us. We both realize that we will never have these moments back with Sarah Avery and wanted to capture her sweet little self while she was still a little wobbly and we weren't chasing her down. ha. It was very early on a Saturday morning in downtown Leeds. I hope you enjoy. Here are a few to wet your whistle. Now I have to decide which ones to print.
