Our Girly-Girl Mother Hen

I’m going to throw in a side-note here because it is too hilarious to not mention. This morning when I went to get Abby up I found her completely naked in her crib in a puddle of pee. Apparently she had a grand ‘ole time un-snapping her jammies and taking off her diaper before letting me know she wanted to get up. I guess we have to stick with just zipper jammies for now…that is until she figures how to do a zipper which I have a feeling won’t be long. Any suggestions from you parents who have dealt with this before on how to get them to keep their clothes on once they’ve figured out how to take them off? Well at least I should be thankful that my life is interesting I guess. Now on to the main reason for this blog…

As I’ve said earlier in previous blogs Abby is becoming a little girly-girl with wanting to dress up and put make-up on. Yesterday I needed to buy some mascara at Clinique and Macy’s happened to be having their Clinique bonus time. It came with a larger make-up travel bag and a smaller one which I knew would be perfect for her. So I pulled out some old blush and eye shadow brushes and put them in their for her. She loved it and immediately knew what to do with the brushes. Grandma and I became her guinea pigs and she proceeded to “paint” our faces up. We have so much fun playing with her and are amazed at what she comes up with.

When we brought the boys home and started feeding them bottles we had Abby get Baby Laci (her newborn Cabbage Patch Kid) so she would feel like she had a baby too. Since then she has found her bottle and has been feeding and burping her right along with us. She’s a little rough with her but getting better at it everyday. She is just too cute and such a mother hen. She really has been helpful especially when the boys are being fed, getting pacifiers, burp cloths, the remote, my cell phone haha. Dustin calls her my little slave…but I look at it as training, not to mention it keeps her occupied while we have our hands full. My little girl is growing up…I still can’t believe she turned 18 months this past Monday.

  2. Corinna would constantly strip herself when she was that age. I remember one time at TLC we just had to let her sit around in just her diaper, because we couldn't keep the pajama's on her. I think Buffie started saftey pinning the zipper pull to the fabric, or putting on the pajama's backwards. I can't quite remember.
