FINALLY!!!

Joye's 1st tooth finally broke through! We were beginning to think that she didn't even have any. Her gums on the bottom have been red and swollen for like 3 weeks. When she would wake up in the morning I would check to see if her tooth broke through. This morning she could feel that something was different. She sucked her bottom lip in and bit down with her top gums. She was biting so hard that I couldn't pry her mouth open. I had to trick her to get her to open up. She is such a stinker sometimes, so stubborn. Wonder where she got that from...couldn't have been from her mother and father, or could it?

When Mom's Not Looking

I had to go to the bathroom, so I told the boys to watch Joye and make sure she is okay and doesn't eat anything she shouldn't be. Well I came out of the bathroom and the boys ran out of the living room. I just thought they were excited to go play. Nope! They thought they were in trouble. This is what I found.

They decided that they like Oreo's so Joye must. Yeah she did. She had it everywhere. So I cleaned her up and I couldn't find the boys. So I looked in their room and my room, I couldn't hear them downstairs. So I left it alone for a while thinking they'd come out. Joye needed a diaper change so I walk into her room to grab a diaper and there were the boys sitting in her crib. They climbed up some how and then they couldn't get out.

Our Silly Boys

The boys were being so silly the other day. First of all they wanted their coats on inside and they had to have their hoods up. Then I looked over and Jaxon was laying in the laundry basket with his covers on and the remote in his hands. He would try to change the channel every commercial. Luckily he only had the DVD remote.

My mom loved porcelain dolls, she had a ton. Anyway when I was little she bought a doll that looked like a baby. It's body, arms and legs have beads inside them so they are soft, but the head, hands and feet are porcelain. I loved this doll! My mom would put it up in her curio cabinet and pretty much everyday I would go when she wasn't looking and get this doll out and play with her. I was at my Dad's the other day and I went and found her and brought her home. She had one of my doll blankets wrapped around her. I put her on the couch and Alek found her and fell in love. He has held that doll for 2 days. He didn't want to go to dance, because he wanted to sit and hold her. He will kiss her and talk to her. He tells everyone to be quiet, because we are scaring the baby. He didn't care this much about Joye when we brought her home.

What Kind Of Parents Are We!!!

From smoking to stripping! Joye has figured out how to take her arms out of her shirt. Once she gets one out she is content. So she usually just has a toga on. I bet in the next few days I'll catch her smoking while naked. She is such a goof. She has the funniest personality.

Alek still loves his smoking, stripping sister

Our Little Smoker

Joye was in her walker yesterday and I gave her a pretzel. I left the room and when I walked back in I had to take a double take. I swear she had a cigar. She was holding it just like you would hold a cigar. I laughed so hard, and she just looked at me like I was crazy. Well I must be; I thought my 9 month old had a cigar.

This is a random picture. Our backdoor neighbors dogs have been breaking through the fence to come play with Mustang and Shelby, it's a weird change, Mustang is usually the one breaking through. Anyway, I looked out yesterday and their dogs were curled up together. They were so cute, I had to take a picture.

What A Cutie... OH!

Joye has started to make goofy faces. She scrunches up her nose, then breathes really heavy out of it. She looks so goofy. We were in Sam's and we walked past one of the women handing out samples. She said, "Ah, What a cutie" and smiled at Joye. Joye pulled her goofy face and started breathing hard the lady was taken back. She jumped a little and said "Oh!" I said." Yeah she's a cutie til she does that, huh" It was so funny. People would ask us where she got it from, we always said it came from me cause I pull funny faces now, but I was looking through my pictures from when I was a baby and found 2 or 3 when I was about her age pulling the same exact face. So I guess it's my fault.

Here's Joye

And here's me
Looking through all of my pictures we have decided that Joye and I look a ton alike. I found one of me and handed it to Braden and he thought that it was a picture of Joye. I think that the only big difference between us are her pretty dimples.
