teeth, tabbouleh, and a lot of pictures

This post is going to be really random, i can just sense it...

........

The big news around here is that the babe got two teeth {bottom front}. 

Bless her heart, she was really only fussy for about 24 hours.

But, boy was it a doozie of a day/night!


perhaps, now we won't have so much of this..


{drool & chewing on lip}


she is very pleased to be sitting on her own.



......

i'm having the same pregnancy craving that i did last time.

tabbouleh.

lemon + salt = yum.

have you ever had it?


you need a lot of parsley. and i mean A LOT.

This picture is after brian had already picked for a few hours.


luckily, i had this cute picker to help me.


it makes a HUGE bowl.

but, between brian and i, it only lasts a few days.


ok, just took a break to have my third serving of the day.

thank goodness it's healthy!

........

you know how you have those parenting moments where your child

does or says something really inappropriate...

and you know you shouldn't,

but a teensy, weensy part of you wants to laugh.


we've been having a lot of those moments lately.

sometimes it's really, really hard to keep a straight face.

especially if Brian is there too.


normally we're really careful about what we listen to and watch.

but, i needed a break from listening to the same baby praise cd's over and over and over. so for about a week we listened to lady antebellum in the car.

I hadn't paid much attention to the words of the songs,

and all the sudden i heard little miss finley sing...


"it's a quarter after one,

 i'm all alone and i need you now.

and i said i wouldn't call,

 but i'm a little drunk and i need you now"


absolutely shocking to hear come out of her mouth.

so very wrong.

she's been repeating other stuff too. some stuff she's picked up from us,

and some stuff she hears from older kids {like the word fart, and kill-oh dear}.

it's good, because it's forcing us to watch our words,

even with things that don't seem that bad...like country music. 


......

i like this picture of adalaide,

because she is laughing at her big sister.

that's pretty much her favorite thing to do.


and i like this photo of finley that i took on my phone,

because, well she's so stinkin' cute.


i love my girls.
