Sunday Morning

Here are some pictures from this morning! Don't worry, Laci wore a coat!!!

Laci loves getting her pictures made, Megan hates it! So...I bribed her!!!!!

This was yet another of Laci's outfits! I still can't believe Megan is that big!!!!

Laci's always good for a pose!

Daddy's Girls...

Mommy's Girls....

Now, let's talk about this week and why I look so...tired! Our house had the stomach bug over for the week!!! I was the last one to have it and I am still fighting the nausea and weak feeling! If you have not had it...consider yourself lucky. It is the worst 24 hours! (or 72 hours if you have 2 little girls that get it first!) I am just so thankful we live close to family and that Brad was spared the virus! He was a trooper and took good care of all of us! However, I do recall on of my 1:00 a.m. puke sessions where I heard him come down the stair as I laid in the floor of our half bath. "hun, do you need a cold rag?" he asked. "Yes....please," I responded. I heard him wetting the rag from the kitchen and the next sound was him throwing the rag from the kitchen to the bathroom! He did not want to get too close! And, honestly, I don't blame him!!!

Santa Fun Meet

Laci is on an exibition gymnastics team. The Tiny Stars! They do not compete yet, but they do routines around town. Saturday was the Santa Fun Meet at her gym. Her team did their Christmas routine and then they did their skills and got a "report card", trophy and certificate! Laci was great! I was so proud of her. She is definitely not shy and likes to put on a show. Here are a few pictures and a little video!

Let me clarify one thing. My pet peeve is panties hanging out under a gymnastics suit! However, this suit is a little big and with everyone one watching, I wanted her to be fully covered! So did her daddy!!!

What a handstand!!!! She should be good at these. She does these all over the house, all day long!

Striking a pose during the routine!

The high bar!!!! She held her "L" hand and straddle hang all by herself!

Here is a little video of one of her tumbling passes during the routine! I was so proud of Laci. When they were showing their skills, they were out there by themselves. Laci was fearless. Mrs. Andrea worked so great with Laci! Laci did her backbend by herself and then she kicked over by herself! Holy cow...I jumped up like an idiot!

Happy 2nd Birthday, Megan!

Today is Megan's 2nd birthday. We did not do much! (I save the big parties for 3 and up) However, the day consisted of Megan wearing her birthday tutu to church. Then, after church Meme and Papaw Bo, Auntie Sarah and Ben, Poppy and all of us came to our house and ate Hot and Ready's (Little Ceasar's) and had a wonderful cake made by Garry and NayNay! Then, we opened presents...then, naptime. Here are few pics from ther day!

Her shirt said Miss December!

Megan's BarbieBirthday Cake

Megan sitting at the bar eating like such a lady!

Here is Megan's gift from Nonny and Poppy. They got Laci her Escalade when she was 2, so they decided Meg needed a ride as well. Here is Megan and her Mustang!

On your mark, get set, GO!

If was pretty fast. So, Brad had to play chase! Megan doesn't know how to turn yet either. She just runs into something and then hollars for someone to help!

Happy 2nd Brithday Meg!!!! The time is going by way to fast!!!!!

What to call it?

I did not know what to title today's post. I had many ideas. Some of them being; gut check; time flies; a dose of reality; lump in my throat; panic attack; and the list goes on. Or, maybe the events of this morning was simply a way to remind me to slow down and enjoy life! Getting Megan dressed these days is great because now that she can fit in most size 2T things, she can a lot more of Laci's hand me downs! This is always great!!! So, today was no different. I put Megan in an outfit Laci wore 2 years ago during Christmas time. After I got her dressed I told her to walk around and let me see. As she pranced around, it nearly took my breath away! I hadn't realized how big she had gotten. I remember thinking how big Laci was when she wore that outfit and I can't handle thinking my baby is getting that big!!! Here are the pictures to prove it!!

This is Megan this morning after she had gotten dressed! She will be 2 on Sunday.

Um, yeah, she is walking on the dining room table!!!!

And, here is Laci wearing the exact same outfit 2 years ago! Megan was less than 2 weeks old when Laci wore this outfit!!! Laci is 2 and 1/2 years old in these pictures!!

Everyone always asks me if I think they look exactly alike. I can honestly say no. I know they favor, but as you can see in these pictures, they vary greatly! I just can't get over how big Megan has gotten! The time has gone so fast and I don't think it is going to slow down anytime soon!

A New Addition to the Bohannan Family...

Laci and Megan had Christmas a little early this year. We got them a puppy! We now have a 12 week old Yorkie named Harley. It's a girl! I'm sure some of you remember Abby! She was our first Yorkie that we had to give away because we were moving som much! Well, we are giving it another try! Here are a few pictures of Harley. Already, it has been so fun watching the girls interact with her!

Laci loves taking care of her. She will sit in the bathroom (our bathroom is her new home) and play with her and make sure has water. She feeds her when it is time. And, right now, Laci is holding her on her chest and laying down watching t.v. Harley is asleep on top of her! It's precious.

Megan now has someone she can boss around. Harley grabbed one of Megan's crocs and I heard Meg say..."no ma'm, Harley." We had one meltdown when Harley took one of Megan's binkies!

And, Brad...Although, it took some convincing, Brad finally came around and I think Harley likes him best already! We'll see where that relationship goes!
