Time and Money

Time and money…the two things in life there never seems to be enough of. I constantly feel like I’m running out of time to get the things I both need and want to do done. There are not enough hours in the day. I guess the bigger issue is I’m still learning (and not doing a very good job of it!) how to be “Mommy Lindsay”, “Wife Lindsay”, “Home-keeper-upper Lindsay”, “Worker Bee Lindsay” and just “Lindsay.” Of course “Mommy” is my most important “title” and if I could only have one for the rest of my life I would choose that in a heartbeat! Madison is everything to me and I don’t want to miss anything she does! This in turn brings us back to NOT.ENOUGH.TIME!!!! She is growing so quickly…every day brings a new skill making her more of a little girl than a baby. I love seeing her personality blossom, but part of me yearns for that little baby that was completely dependent on me. Why did I not spend more time just holding her? Everyone told me how quickly it would go, and I tried to just stop some days and just be with her, but it wasn’t enough. I need to rewind…I need to go back! Why doesn’t life come equipped with a DVR?

Anyway, being “Mommy” is my most important job. I drop anything and everything for it. But being “Wife” is also important. He is my support, my partner in this parenting gig. He is my support and partner in life. I feel bad that there are nights that I just want to go to bed right after I put her down because I’m just so tired. I love him more than anything, and although I know I’m doing better at nurturing our relationship, I’m not doing as well as I should be. It’s hard. He asks me more often than I would like, “What’s wrong? You look sad” I don’t want to be sad, I just feel like I’m barely keeping my head above water, and that creeps into my attitude towards him…I really need to work on that.

Then there’s “Home-keeper-upper Lindsay” Yeah, she’s one of those that’s supposed to “be” but really isn’t there enough. The house is a mess…always. I know with an 8 month old and two dogs it’s hard, but it makes me crazy. There’s dog hair everywhere. I have been tempted to shave Zoey many times…seriously; the Golden Retriever hair I find everywhere is ridiculous. Besides the hair, there’s dust, there’s crumbs, there’s formula, there’s the laundry…it never ends. I need one day a week where I have a couple hours alone to just clean, but that’s not going to happen so I guess I need to figure it out with her there.

“Worker Bee Lindsay”…thankfully this one only has to exist for a couple more months (course then she will be replaced with “Student Lindsay’, but who’s keeping track!) My job is a job…it gives me a paycheck twice a month. Other than that, there’s not much good I can say about it. Working for Brokers (well basically sales people) is hard. They take, take, take, but don’t do much giving. They need everything yesterday, but give it all to you tomorrow. They are not “team players” which in turn makes me look like I’m not either because heaven forbid I be helping someone out when they think they need something NOW (which they usually don’t). It’s frustrating and draining to be in this environment every day. I’m really looking forward to giving my notice…which hopefully will be to quit, not just request part-time. Because quitting would obviously mean even less money, and I’m really scared it’s not going to be doable.

We are literally going to have enough for bills and groceries (and really I’m not sure how much I’ll have for groceries!) Its scary, and I ask myself daily if I’m being selfish trying to go back to school now. I really felt like this was God’s timing, but its getting closer and closer, and we still don’t know childcare for the princess or how we’re really going to survive. I’m starting to think I wanted it so bad, I “made” it God’s timing. The school is S.L.O.W.L.Y. going over my application and transcripts, and I’m patiently (haha, yeah right) waiting on their response. Is this God’s way of telling me, “Just wait.”? I feel like I’ve been waiting for too long already…I’m not getting any younger! I want to have another child in the next 4-5 years…That has me finishing school, maybe teaching a year (if I was lucky enough to get a job right after graduation), and then having another kid. I feel like in the long run, I’m doing something for the betterment of our family, but not sure if this is the right time. I’m trying to put all my faith and trust in God that He will provide, but I’m only human, and it’s starting to really get down to the wire…

But back to the “Lindsay’s”…which would bring us to just “Lindsay.” I feel selfish when I try to take time for myself…I feel like this is really the least important role I play, and when I’m portraying this one, I’m cutting time out of my other more important roles. I want to exercise at least an hour a day…I usually get in about 25-40 minutes (depending on what I choose to do that day), but if Tony’s home, I feel guilty because after I exercise and then shower, that’s an hour or so that I could have been spending with him, but I chose myself instead. I cherish my lunch hour, and admittedly sometimes take a little longer, because I can just sit and read. I don’t have to feel guilty that I’m not being “Mommy”, “Wife”, or “Home-Keeper-Upper” because I have to be at work. But I would love to go to the park on a Sunday afternoon and just lay on a blanket and read…but I can’t I have too many roles to play on the weekend and just “Lindsay” is not one of them.

I have so much more I need to write about, but this is long enough, so it will all have to wait for another day.

8 Months! Already!

My baby is 8 months today. I can't believe she's been here for the exact length of time that I knew I was pregnant! The pregnancy went fast, but NOTHING compared to how fast these last 8 months have gone! It is so amazing how much a child changes in that first year. The growth is amazing and sad all at once. I told Tony last night after I went in to check on her one last time before bed, "She looks more like a little girl and less like a baby everyday." Its amazing how that realization can make me want to cry remembering how tiny she was, but also make me so excited for the little girl she is becoming.

She has a personality like nothing else. She is such a happy little girl! She makes some of the funniest faces, and loves to talk. She's also recently started "singing" to herself in the car...its so adorable. She gives kisses now, too. Wet, slobbery kisses, but the best kisses I've ever received! She will also kiss her animals in the bathtub now.

On Wednesday, June 3, my baby crawled. The look of accomplishment on her face was priceless! She was SO proud of herself. Yesterday morning, Tony said she crawled over the couch where she proceeded to try and pull herself up. I know that once she gets strong enough to get herself all the way up, she's going to crawl to a place she can pull herself up and start cruising. The girl loves to stand! If you hold her hands for her, she will walk. She can feel free to wait a couple months before walking on her own, though...Mommy really won't mind!

I will try and upload some pictures when I get home!! Happy Eight Months, Madison! Mommy and Daddy love you SO MUCH!!

Happy Easter

We had a great Easter weekend! My mom, brother, and his girlfriend came down Friday afternoon and we went to the mall to see the Easter Bunny. Madison was about as impressed with him as she was with Santa!

Saturday, she got her Easter basket from my mom.

She seemed to really like her jellys in her mouth :)

Sunday morning, she got her Easter basket from Mommy and Daddy.
She really liked her new books!

We tried to get a picture of her in her Easter dress, but she wasn't really interested :)

After church, we all went up to Tony's sister for Easter with the whole family. She got her Easter basket from Nanny (Tony's mom) and his Aunt Donna.

And of course, we had to get her picture in her "First Easter" shirt!
I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter, and I am so thankful for the reason we celebrate! Thank you Jesus for making the ultimate sacrifice so that we may be free!

Six Months Old!!!

Dear Madison,

Today you are six months old. I feel like you were born, I blinked, and all of a sudden it was six months later! On one hand I can’t believe you’ve been with us for six months already, and on the other hand I can’t believe it’s only been six months! I feel like you’ve been with us forever! You made the transition from husband and wife to daddy and mommy very easy for us! You are such a happy and entertaining little girl! You are getting more talkative everyday. Today, I’m not sure there was time that you were awake that you weren’t talking. You are so passionate about whatever it is you’re talking about, and I can’t wait to know what you’re trying to say. You make it harder every day for me to go to work. I feel like you’re growing even faster now, and I’m afraid to miss anything! The good news is that sooner than later I will get to spend a lot more time with you as Mommy is going to go back to school to be a teacher. Although I know it will be stressful for me to be a full-time student and a full-time Mommy, I know your Daddy will do everything he can to help Mommy achieve her dream. I’m sure there will nights I don’t see much of you, but I will just have to “keep my eye on the prize” and know that in the end, we will get to spend SO MUCH MORE time together!!

Here are some of the things you’re doing now:
· Sitting on your own
· Eating seven ounces
· Eating cereal once a day (most days)
· Eating ½ container of vegetables a day
· Eating ½ container of fruit a day
· Showing A LOT of interest in your puppies
· Starting to open and close your hand like you’re waving, and just being amazed!
· Learning to use your tongue more when you’re babbling
· Rolling to get where you want
· LOVING your pacifier! If you see it out of the corner of your eye, you must have it.
· Splashing in your bathtub. I’m pretty sure you would stay in your bathtub all night if I would let you.
· You’re very good while I brush your gums. I hope this continues once you start getting teeth!
· Starting to drink from your sippy cup. You’re not a big fan of the juice yet so we’re still working on this one!
· Still sleeping through night (about 99% of the time!)
· Pulling Mommy’s (and Grandma’s and Nanny’s) hair…seriously, I think it might be your favorite pastime right now!

Madison, you have a brought a joy to your Daddy and me that we never knew could be experienced! You are everything I could have asked for in a daughter, and SO. MUCH.MORE! We love you, princess!!

Love,
Mommy

Happy 3 Months!

My sweet Madison,

I can’t believe you are already three months old! I feel like they just placed you in my arms for the first time yesterday! This is also the first day Mommy had to leave you in the morning to go to work. It wasn’t easy, but it also wasn’t as bad as I had anticipated! I miss you constantly while I’m at work, and I stare at your picture constantly, counting down the minutes until I get to see and hold you again! You are growing so quickly now; I think you get bigger everyday when I get home from work. Your little personality is quickly becoming apparent, and I LOVE it!! You are such a happy little baby. You love to smile, and LOVE to talk! After your bath before bed is your most talkative time. I love just listening to you “tell me about your day.” You get so excited about something, and your voice gets higher pitched, and your arms and legs just start going. It is the sweetest thing! You are starting to prefer a bottle during the day. This makes me happy and sad all at the same time. On one hand, it’s much more convenient when we are out and about, but on the other hand, I miss that bonding time. Luckily for me, you still like to nurse in the morning and right before you go to bed. When the time comes to give those up, it will kill me! I love staring at you at night in your dim room with your lullabies playing; taking in the scent of your lotion soaked skin. As your eyes slowly become heavier and heavier, I thank God for you over and over!! I don’t know what I did to deserve such a beautiful daughter, but I’m so thankful God chose you for me! You fit perfectly in the crook of my arm while you nurse. It’s as if you truly were a part of me, and God just split us apart so I could share you with others! I love your last few moments of consciousness before finally giving in and slipping into a deep sleep for the night. You try so hard to stay awake…you twist your head all around, and make any noise you can to try and just get a few more seconds. But without fail, you always succumb to the sleepiness you feel. I usually continue to rock you for a while after you fall asleep. Your breathing falls into a comfortable rhythm, and eventually the pacifier comes flying out. I continue to just stare at you, and marvel at how perfect you are! I tell you multiple times how much I love you. I make sure to tell you every night that I will be here whenever you need me; whether it’s 20 minutes from now, or 20 years. We celebrated your First Christmas last month. It was surreal to remember that last Christmas was when your Daddy told me we were going to start trying for a baby, and this Christmas I got to share it with you!! Next year will be even more fun as you will be almost 15 months old, and I’m sure you will just want to rip the wrapping paper off, but that doesn’t take away how special this Christmas was. This holiday takes on a whole new meaning when you’re a Mommy (something I hope you don’t experience for quite some time!J) It becomes much more about spending time with family, and less about the presents. (although I had to restrain myself from buying everything in site for you!) It’s hard to believe you’re passing the ¼ mark on your way to turning 1. This is going way too fast!! They tell you to cherish every moment because it DOES go so fast…but I have been, and it’s still going too fast. Before I know it, I’ll be chasing after you as you crawl all over the house, and then walking, and eventually I’ll “get” to deal with those teenage hormones! I’m sure we’ll have our share of arguments; I can already tell we’re enough alike to butt heads now and again, but always remember that I love you more than anything, and will always be there to rejoice with you in good times, and comfort you in bad. I love you, Madison Nicole…don’t ever forget that!

Love,
Mommy

Madison's First Thanksgiving

So happy!

Not so thrilled with all the pictures!
It was a long day for her!

We have had Thanksgiving at our house since we got married, and I love it. It's so nice to not have to go anywhere! I order the turkey and some sides from Boston Market, stick the turkey in the oven for a couple hours, put the sides in the microwave, and we're done! Madison was really good all day! I was a little worried with so many people over that she would get a little over stimulated, but she was a trooper! This year was harder than I thought it was going to be. It was the first Thanksgiving without Grandpa, and that was rough for me. I guess that's why God gave me Madison this year, so I would have someone to be so thankful for, it would help to take my mind off of Grandpa not being here. I just really wish he could have held her...

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year, and didn't stuff themselves too full! Madison's 2 month post is coming...I just can't believe next Friday she will be 2 months already! It's amazing how some days can seem to creep by, but the weeks FLY by!

Madison's Birth Story

Friday, October 3, we went into the hospital at 7:30pm to start the Cervadil for the induction the next day. My mom, brother, and Tony's mom all came to see us that night, and everyone was gone by 11pm. I wasn't in any pain yet, but was just so excited I couldn't sleep. I finally fell asleep around 1am. At 2:30am I woke up with moderate contractions. I was already having to pee every 10 minutes it seemed, and with the contractions, it was making it very hard to sleep. I finally decided to give in and ask the nurse for some pain medication so I could get some sleep since I knew Saturday was going to be a long day (if only I had known how long!). Just as I was getting ready to call her, she came in to tell me I needed to roll over because the baby had been sleeping for a while, and they just wanted to make sure she was ok...which also meant I couldn't have any medicine for at least 20 minutes while they monitored her to make sure she was ok. 25 minutes later, the nurse was back with the medicine! YEA!! She told me it would take about 2-3 minutes to take effect, and I would start to feel like I'd had a couple drinks. 2-3 minutes, yeah right! About 30 seconds after she put the IV in, I was light headed, and ready to sleep! I slept so soundly for the next 2 hours, it was heaven!

I was kind of in and out of sleep until about 8:30 am when I decided to get up and brush my teeth. The nurse came to remove the cervadil, and told me to take my shower, and then we would start the pitocin. Well finally at around 10:30 am, my doctor came in to break my water and start the pitocin. When she broke my water, she saw that Madison had had a bowel movement, and there was meconium in the amniotic fluid. She let me know that NICU would have to be present for the birth, and would take her right away to get her all suctioned out. I was a little disappointed because I figured then I wouldn't get her on my belly right away, but figured I could deal! So at 10:45 am, the induction "officially started!" By noon, I was dying from the contractions! I'm sure they weren't really THAT bad, but I. DO. NOT. DO. PAIN! so I asked when I was allowed to have my epidural. The nurse told me my doctor likes for you to get to a 4 before getting one, so at least I had something to aim for! Around 1:30 pm they checked me and I was a 3, so I started getting myself excited for the epidural...I didn't have to wait long! At 2, my nurse came in and asked "Do you want your epidural?" Uh, yeah!!! She said the anesthesiologist was getting ready to go into a c-section, so they wanted to make sure I got it before he went in...THANK YOU JESUS!! I was a little nervous for the the actual insertion because I had heard that it hurt pretty bad. I was happy to feel that it wasn't bad at all!! Within a half hour, I couldn't feel a thing, and I was back in good spirits!

They kept coming in to check me every 2 hours or so, and I was making pretty good progress. But then 9 pm came...I was still the 6 I was at 7 pm. And at 11 pm, I was still a 6. The nurse had my doctor come in to check me, just to make sure, and she reluctantly told me that I was only a 7, and that I had stalled. I had been at the same measurement for four hours, and that it wasn't looking good for a vaginal delivery. She told me that she could let me go one more hour, turn the pitocin up, and check me again, or we could just go ahead with the c-section. She said she'd give us a couple minutes to talk it over, and then she'd be back to see what we'd decided. I held it together pretty well until she was out of the room, but then I lost it. A c-section was something I really didn't want. I just really wanted to deliver her, and have her on my belly and see her right away. Everything I've been dreaming about since I got pregnant. Tony was my rock through it all, and let me know that it was fine either way. If I wanted to have the c-section, at least she would be here soon, and I wouldn't have to wait anymore. But if I wanted to wait, he was fine with that too. I couldn't make a decision to save my life, so he just decided we were going to wait. His feeling was, "What's one more hour?" How happy I am that he made me wait that extra hour! The nurse came back after an hour, and said I was a 6-7, which wasn't a lot of progress, but it was more progress than I had made the last 4 hours!! She went to call the doctor, and I told her whatever the doctor said, that's what I wanted to do...no matter what. When she came back in, she said we were going to continue the Pitocin, and see if we could get this baby the way I wanted! I continued to progress, and at around 6:00 Sunday morning, I was finally a 10. I finally started pushing at 6:30 am. At 7, my nurse from the day before was back on, so she came in to help with the delivery. My next contraction, the doctor told me we were going to have a baby! No such luck...but she knew with the next one she would be here. She let me know that once the head was out, I needed to push even harder so they could get her shoulders out. So when the next contraction came, I pushed as hard as I could, and when I felt the head come out, I started pushing harder; only my doctor was saying "Slow down! Slow down!" I wasn't sure if she meant stop pushing completely, or just don't push as hard. It didn't matter because about 2 seconds later, she said "Never mind!" And I heard my mom say "Oh, Madison!" So I knew she was here. Apparently it was a good thing my doctor was ready, because Madison just kinda came "shooting" out! At 7:16am, Sunday October 5, 2008, my beautiful daughter was placed on my tummy, and I have never seen such a beautiful baby in my life! After I got to hold her for about a minute, the NICU whisked her away to suction out her mouth, nose, and lungs. I could handle the sound of them suctioning her mouth and nose, but the sound of the tube being down her throat while her lungs were being suctioned was almost more than I could handle. Luckily my doctor recognized this, and tried to keep my attention and just talked to me.

I finally got to hold her again about 15 minutes after she was born. It's such an amazing feeling holding your child. It sounds cliche, but it's so true that you never understand a mother's love until you are one. Tony described the love perfectly when he said it's a "pure love." I can't believe the amount of love I felt for her as soon as she was born, and it just continues to grow every time I lay eyes on her!

Labor Day Fun

Tony had to work all day on Labor Day, so I stayed up at my mom's for an extra night. We decided to take advantage of the nice weather, and go play some Putt-Putt. I was not too thrilled to be going, as I'm not very good. But the first game, I WON!!! But I was back to form on the second game when I came in last...a very distant last! I still had a lot of fun, though! Here are some pics from the day.

Mom getting ready to sink on in!

Andrew "teeing" off!

My hole-in-one!

Proof that I rock! (well at least on the first game I did...I think I finished with a 51 on the second game! OOPS!)

Andrew getting eaten by the alligator...or maye its a crocodile...who knows!

Baby Shower

Last Saturday, my Aunt Debb, cousins Stefanie and Stacie, and my two best friends Erica and Kim threw me a baby shower. The food was wonderful, the cake was tasty, and the presents were plentiful! I can't thank God enough for the wonderful family and friends I have been blessed with!! Just wanted to share some of the pictures!

The food, along with the Feeding and Bathing "stations" from Kim and Erica

Cake and cupcakes made by my Aunt Kathy

YAY PRESENTS!! :-)

My mom, ME, Tony's mom

Me with my cousin Stefanie

Me with my cousin Stacie

Erica and me...two hot mommas!

Kim and me...college roomies and best friends!

We got so much stuff for Madison! I'm still trying to figure out where it's all going to go! I still have two more showers (one at work, and one at Tony's church). It's wonderful being this blessed, but it's kinda stressful! (Which I mean in the best way possible!!) I told Tony last night that we better hope when we decide to have a second child that it's a girl! That way we won't have to buy much!!

Someday I'll catch up...

I have multiple things to post...just no time. I have to write about my baby shower this weekend (absolutely amazing!), Putt-Putt on Labor Day, 36 Week pic, and our 3 year anniversary (which is today!!) So for now, I'll just leave you with a wonderful picture of us on our wedding day:
I promise posts are coming soon...there's just a lot to do right now. Hopefully I'll have pictures of Maddie's room soon, too!

TGIF!

I can’t tell you how happy I am that today is Friday! It wasn’t really a bad week (after all, I got the ultrasound on Tuesday, and got to leave early for a doctor appointment on Wednesday), but I’m just so ready for this weekend to begin! There is so much stuff I need to do this weekend, I know it’s just going to fly by, but it should be fun stuff…all for baby! But tonight, it’s all about me! Well, that is after I order these adorable Birth Announcements! I have to pre-order the envelopes so I can get them all addressed now, and then after she’s born, all I have to do is upload the photo, and enter the information! And after I bite the bullet and order a new diaper bag…yeah, I’m getting a new one. It would have bothered me every time I carried it, but at least I know how to order it correctly this time! But after that, I plan to get my Rock On with…

Guitar Hero! I’ve beaten the easy level once, but Tony was playing last night, and I think he may have some of my scores beat, so I must go back, and make sure I have the high score! J You see, I am not a video game guru like him, so I feel the need to be the best at something that I can actually play! I can compete against him in the Mario & Sonic Olympic Games, but ultimately…he’s MUCH better than I am. I would just like to have one game in which I am better…that’s all. I’m not competitive at all! That should keep me busy until he gets off work at 9 tonight!

Tomorrow I’m going to the State Fair with the sister-in-law, Tammy, mother-in-law, and my enchanting niece, Sarah. I cannot wait to have my corn on the cob. It is seriously the most mouth-watering corn I’ve ever tasted! And then it’s on to the animals!! I really can’t wait to see the cows…if I lived on a farm, I’d have cows. They have such sweet eyes, and I just want to kiss them! They have a separate area for all the newborn calves, so I’m excited to see them, too. And of course, we’ll have to see the world’s (or maybe its “country’s”…I don’t know) biggest hog. The thing is HUGE! I will definitely have to take pictures!

That night Tony and I are planning on going to eat at Bravo. They just opened their newest location in Greenwood this past week, so I’m sure we’ll have quite a wait, but it’s so worth it! Who knows what else we’ll do, but I’m really excited about eating there!

Sunday, it’s all about Madison! Last weekend, Tammy gave me about six boxes of clothes ranging from 6 months, all the way up to 18 months! I went through and sorted them last weekend, but this weekend is the time to start putting things into the drawers of her dresser! I also want to start cleaning and disinfecting all of the toys that we’ve acquired already! A lot of them were mine from when I was a baby, so I’m sure there’s 25 years of grime just waiting to be destroyed by yours truly! (and a little bit of bleach solution!) I also need to bring in the swing and bouncer (which we also got from Tammy) and start getting those cleaned up. I especially want to bring the swing in and start running it every now and then to HOPEFULLY (and here’s to really hoping!!!) get Nugget and Zoey used to it moving! They’re so skittish, so I’m hoping seeing it day after day will help, and maybe by the time she’s born, they’ll be used to it!

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend, and I will hopefully have pictures from the fair up sometime soon!

32 Weeks today!

Today we start the 8 week countdown!! It's going so fast, and it's just going to go faster once she's born!! I am so excited to start this new chapter in our lives...I'm already thinking of what fun traditions we can start for the holidays!! I think for the fall/Halloween, we definitly have to make a trip to the pumpkin patch. There's one not too far from the house, and it looks like so much fun! Weather will decide if we start that one this year, or wait for next year. I really want to start a tradition of making Christmas cookies with her. I'm not sure if that will happen, but I think it would be so fun to look forward to decorating them each year! Tony thinks I'm crazy, but oh well!

We're going for our second 3D ultrasound tonight. Hopefully she's head down and showing her beautiful face! I keep reading that "you should be able to identify different body parts as they're moving around..." yeah, I have no idea what's where, but I DO know it hurts most of the time when she moves. Should make the next 2 months interesting!! I'm hoping to see what's in my pelvis bone tonight because for the past 3 or 4 nights, it's felt like she's in there just pushing as hard as she can on it! Well look for a belly pic and pics of Madison either tonight or tomorrow!!

Madison and Daddy's song

I don't know if I'm allowed to be the one to pick a song for Tony and Madison, but I'm doing it, so there! The first time I heard this song, I couldn't stop myself from crying. All I could think about was how great of a dad Tony is going to be. It absolutely warms my heart to know that God has blessed me with such an amazing man to be the father to my children!

3D Ultrasound!!

Finally got our confirmation that Madison is in fact Madison! :-)

Her little mouth open. If I remember correctly, this was right after a big yawn!
She's breech right now, with both legs up by her head...flexible child!
A little smile for mommy and daddy!

Holding her foot up with her little hand...check out those long fingers!

Her eye is open in this one!
The umbilical cord was over her lip so she looks like she has a mustach in this one!!

I'm so glad we did this!! It was amazing the see all the little details!! We're going to try to go back sometime in the 32-34 week range to get more, and hopefully a little better pictures of her face. She was very determined she was not going to mover her legs or her arms!! Sorry this post was so pic heavy! I couldn't decide which ones to post so I just posted them all!! :-)

Happy Birthday Zoey!!

Miss Zoey is 3 years old today!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my "little" baby!

The birthday treats!!

Nugget with her treat...running away from me because she's scared of the camera!

Zoey enjoying her birthday treat.
