Stinky!

This morning Piper was beside me in bed and Landis was sitting next to us. Piper let out a toot and all of a sudden Landis started crawling over me, paused to sit on my stomach, then reached her hand up and pinched her nose while looking over and pointing at Piper. Two seconds later, the smell hit me and I totally agreed with Landis!

HOT HOT HOT

OMG it is already getting in to the 100s here, cripes! I hear it is going down again this weekend (please please) which is great because I am so not ready for summer:) Piper is the most sensitive to weather complaining that it is hot, cold, wet, dry etc. Lela is the most susceptible to weather, breaking out in heat rashes, dry skin (that is close to eczema…yikes) and bloody noses due to the dryness. So far Landis is showing signs of dry skin too but I can keep her partially moisturized so no worries of eczema there.

Needless to say we are not ready for summer but it might be here soon. I had to send the girls swimsuits back because they are too small to fit in to them. Lela needs a 5 but the 5 shorts are too big, Piper needs a 3T but those shorts are too big but 2T are too short. Landis has the chubbiest (and cutest) thighs ever but anything that is not made from cotton rubs her and give her a rash so I am trying to find her a good swimsuit that won’t aggravate her legs. I know I could go and get them all bikinis but I like for them to wear the SPF shirt and short suits. So I guess I will go back to square one on those and see what I can find.

Why am I rambling on in this post? Hmmm…..I think I best get to bed.

New word

Landis has a new word….Dora. She has added it to her repertoire of Oh Wow, ball, meow, dog, grrr (for tiger), mama, dada, Lela and Piper. She is quite possibly at the cutest age ever. She is still signing and is quick to pick them up but wants to vocalize as well. She is cute and cuddly and quick with blowing kisses, waving goodbye, saying good night and is even quick with a scrunchy smile for strangers. She is melting hearts all over the valley already….
