What do you think this means?

Z was sitting on the changing table while I was wiping off his back (yuk. don't ask. you don't want to know), and he leaned over, put both hands on the front of my nursing tank and pulled it out as hard as he could...then proceeded to sick his head down my shirt.

HAHAHAHAHA!!!

I was laughing so hard I could hardly breathe.

Think he was hungry??

Zachary's communication

Well he has picked up two signs- sort of. ;)
He tries to sign "dog" every time he sees one of them and he LOVES the dogs. He gets so excited and he tries to touch his fingers together, but he doesn't quite do the sign. You can tell he is trying to though. He also tried to sign milk once or twice. He's on the way with his signing!

He does love to talk though. It goes something like this: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh AAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

or so. And He's LOUD!

I have been telling him to say "mama" and he will watch my mouth and open and close his mouth like he's saying it, but nothing comes out. :) Hey, it's a start!

I'm moving my deals.

I am moving my deals over to a new site. I can't keep up with both in one place- I'm getting a wee bit confused. Not to mention I am not posting as much about the kids and I know my family is a teensy bit annoyed.

So...head on over to I Prefer Publix for my deals! Check in often and I'll try to keep you posted of the best things in our area.

A few pictures

A pic from our "camping" trip. In the bed in the hotel. LOL.

He's not crawling yet, but he gets up on those knees and scoots...backwards. Which makes him really mad when he's trying to reach something in front of him.

How can you resist that smile??

(please excuse his serious case of mismatching. It was laundry day. ;) )

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!! I have no idea, but it cracks me up every time I look at this picture.

He LOVES his sister. And she is so proud of being a big sister.


She is endless entertainment to him. Here she is playing peek-a-boo out of her carseat box. He is cracking up hysterically.

Free Huggies Wipes

There may still be some people, like I was, who don't know about this- the $1/1 "Huggies Bath and Body product" coupons work on baby wipes.
The small soft packs of Huggies wipes are $1 at Kroger this week, so free after coupon! I've stocked up in the past, and now that I have more coupons... stocking up again. I use cloth wipes mostly, since they're cheaper, easier, better for baby's bottom and work a LOT better, but if I can get them free, disposable wipes are easier for going out of the house.

Heads-up Nashville shoppers

There's a coupon on page 6A of the Tennessean for $1/1 Tyson product. Random coupon in the first section. :)

My babies are growing up on me.

Zachary had a mini-appointment yesterday to get an IPV booster vaccine. He is 19.35lb. We moved him to the convertible carseat since infant carriers only go to 20lb. I put him in it for the first time tonight and I almost shed a tear for him growing up and getting so big! He is cutting tooth number two (bottom front right), already has the first one, the front bottom left. He enjoys chewing on me with his teeth. fun! :)

He is sitting up pretty well, when he begins to tip over, he'll shoot one arm out to right himself. He still does fall over a lot, but he's getting there.

We went "camping" this week. I call it our non-camping camping trip. LOL. The plan was to tent camp at Rock Island State Park, or, if it looked like bad weather, rent a cabin for the night. When we got there, we discovered that Bonnaroo was this week/end and the tent campsites were all booked up. There were two cabins, but they had a two-night minimum stay and we didn't want to pay two nights for one night of stay. So we went over to the river and played on the beach and N and Doug played in the water. Z did not care for the river. He loves the bath, but he sort of looked at me like, 'woman? what are you thinking putting me in here. Gross.' hehe. Natalya loved it though. I had to bribe her to get her to leave.

We were flying by the seat of our pants and didn't really want to drive home so we drove over to Cookevill for dinner and pulled up to the Days Inn and stayed there for the night. I whipped out my (free- Thanks Kelly!) Entertainment Book and found a 15% off discount at Days Inn, so we got the discount too. :) Natalya was really excited about staying in the hotel and wasn't too upset about not being able to stay in the tent. I sort of played it up- "Natalya! We're going to stay in a hotel! You can sleep on the floor in your sleeping bag! It'll be just like camping!" She bought it. :)

And thank goodness! Because it STORMED that night. I was so happy to not be in a tent.

We had a good trip and then when we got home Doug took N to gymnastics for her new class. She moved up to Mighty Mites from the Preschool class and she is having an absolute ball. She has learned all kinds of new things and is loving every second of it.

I'll try to post some pics in a bit. :)
