Hot Spaghetti

Piper has decided recently that everything is 

"TOO HOT"!

Her bath water,

her food,

even her ice water sometimes!

This is just another phase that will pass, right?!

Mark was giving her her lunch a couple of days ago,

and of course, 

it was too hot. 

She asked her daddy if she could help him blow on it to cool it off. 

(This was AFTER we had added two ice cubes 

to make sure that it really wasn't hot at all!)

Apparently it was really funny 

when daddy would try to cool Piper off instead of her lunch!

She laughed so much that I think

she may have peed in her pants! 

;-)

Blowing on Piper's lunch to cool it down...
but you can tell by her face that she knows Daddy is going to be silly! 

And it's laugh until you pee time!

THIRTY-EIGHT weeks pregnant!!!
Can you believe it?
I feel like I need to wear a backpack to balance myself out,
but other than that I'm very proud of myself and the Littlest Lynch
for staying put this long!

De-Odorizing Piper

Being TWO means that you must do EVERYTHING

that you see mommy and daddy doing.

This ranges from sweeping the floor,

to doing laundry,

to eating with a fork instead of a spoon,

to drinking coffee (I don't think so, but she tries her luck every morning)

to putting on chapstick...

etc.

This week she took notice of deodorant,

which she thought was wonderful fun!

She put it on herself,

then on mommy 

and TRIED to put it on Blue. 

Not surprisingly,

Blue wanted nothing to do with it!

xo

At least this end of her wasn't stinky today! 

Now if only they made a deodorant for her diaper! ;-)

Post Office Lollipop

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

Our first PEI Valentine's Day was lovely. 

We all had a little sleep-in,

followed by Daddy's amazing

Peanut Butter and Banana Stuffed French Toast. 

YUM! 

Piper received a new Valentine book and some Dora chocolates,

which she was very happy about. 

(We've already read the book about 25 times!)

Since the weather was BEAUTIFUL and warm

we all decided to walk to the post office together.

When we got there and opened up the little door on our post office box,

laying inside was a heart-shaped lollipop!

Well! Didn't that tiny act of kindness shine a light

on our increasingly wonderful day!

The lady that works at the post office 

poked her head out to wish Piper a Happy Valentine's Day

and to let her know that only the very most special people

got a lollipop in their mail boxes!

Piper was over the moon!

We are so spoiled here!

Our little town of Miscouche really has been good to us

since we moved here. 

I hope everyone reading this had a special day today as well!

Sometimes it's the smallest things

that  make the biggest impacts on our hearts!

Love!

Eating her Valentine lollipop with Daddy
on our way home from the Post Office. 

Getting some Valentine kisses from Blue!

This is Piper's version of 'giving' Blue a kiss. 

And... it's always only a matter of time before she tries to crash Blue's bed.
We're working really hard on making her understand that Blue's bed is off limits when he is in it,
but we're not getting anywhere just yet.
Consistency and patience... and deep breaths!

Get Down, Bue!

Blue is NOT allowed to sleep on our bed

and Piper knows it. 

For the past couple of days,

Blue has been rebelling

and Piper has been catching him!

This morning I heard her yelling,

"Bue, GET DOWN!

No sleep on Mommy's bed!"

Maybe she's learning how to police from Daddy!

xo

Lecturing Blue on the house rules!

Put Down the Camera and HELP ME!

Oh my goodness.

I can't even look at this photo without laughing.

Being the super-mom that I am sometimes,

today I turned on the TV to distract Piper

while I chatted on the phone and tried to get supper ready.

I wasn't paying very close attention

(obviously)

as my daughter climbed up into her high chair to watch her show.

No big deal.

She has been climbing up into that chair

since we moved to PEI 6 months ago

and is really good at it.

Getting OUT of the chair is a different story.

She can do it,

but she's not very graceful.

Today as she climbed down I heard her yell for help.

When I looked over at her,

I saw that her t-shirt had gotten caught on the little leg-separator

and she was stuck.

I thought it was HILARIOUS

and instead of running to help her,

I ran for my camera.

Not one of my proudest moments,

but capturing this incident in a still shot just made my day!

Thank you for the million laughs sweet girl!

Mommy really does love you to the moon and back!

xo

Hahaha!
Just the look on her face says it all.
PUT THE CAMERA DOWN AND HELP ME!

Doctor Piper

She's smart.

She's accomplished.

AND

she's cool.

That's our Piper!

;-)

xo

Anyone want a check-up?

Just so you know.

Piper may look like a pretty impressive doctor here, but don't be fooled. I don't think she paid much attention in anatomy class.

Today she was playing with Blue when he rolled over onto his back. Of course, she immediately points to his penis and exclaims "Bella-Button"! I was very quick to agree with her. "Yes yes, that is Blue's 'bella-button' BUT DON'T TOUCH IT"! Ha!

Messy Face = Happy Piper

My 'crazy pregnant lady' attitude from yesterday

spilled over into today.

You know you are being a miserable person

when your husband offers for you to go for a walk,

take a nap, take a warm bath...

before we've even had breakfast!!

LOL

My poor family!

I did take that much needed nap and the warm bath

and was incredibly thankful for it.

To thank my wonderful husband and daughter for putting up with me,

I baked chocolate cupcakes for dessert tonight.

I think I've been forgiven!

xo

Daddy and Piper very much enjoyed licking the beaters clean!
Something that makes me want to vomit even when I'm not pregnant.
Raw eggs... ugh!

Cake batter face!!

After a 30 minute crying meltdown because I wouldn't give her cupcakes for supper,
she FINALLY ate her supper and was rewarded with her dessert.
Piper really is taking this "terrible two" thing very seriously! 

It's hard to look at this sweet face and believe that she had just thrown
a giant tantrum about that cupcake. Ha!

Yes.
That is icing on her eyelid.
She decided to paint her face with it.
I asked her to show me her messy face and
I guess she thought you'd also like to see the inside of her mouth!
