'Cold in Cleveland'

Well, there's not much to do when it's January in Cleveland so here's what we've been up to lately!

First, we're taking a stab at potty training:

Could these be any more embarrassing??

Next, we play in the snow for about 5 minutes

And, finally we eat chocolate chip cookies to warm up our rosy cheeks!

And here's BC 2 in the belly at 19 weeks (I think?)

Stay warm!!!

1st haircut!

No, your eyes aren't deceiving you...2 posts in one day!

We took Audrey to get her haircut this past Sunday. It was really getting long in the front and needed a little cleaning up in the back. Gotta keep those curls bouncy!
Before:

Lollipops make everything more enjoyable!

All done!

Looking good kid!

Tap, tap: is this thing on?

Well, here I am with my new years resolution to keep this blog a little more up to date! Actually, my access to modern technology had pretty much gone down the toilet...until now! I'm coming straight to you live from my new iPad!! No excuses now, right!?! Hmmm, where have I heard that before?

Anyway, on to the most important news of all... I'm pleased to reintroduce baby Cooke #2:







And for those of you who like a little more detail:

A post about ice cream

Who doesn't love ice cream??? Honestly, I have no idea... I love ice cream, Ben loves ice cream. You know who really loves ice cream? Audrey. You know who really, REALLY loves ice cream? Hays. We found this out the other night (well, not really. Hays has quite the affinity for people food) when ventured out to our local DQ and Miss A brought home a delectable chocolate (or as Audrey calls it "chaaawwwcklate") cone. Here's what followed:

Audrey, obviously enjoying her ice cream

(in my best Hays voice) "uh, hi, yeah, can i have some of that???"

"uh, please?"

"you're gonna have to catch me first, dog!"

"well, ok, you can have a little lick..."

And you know Hays ate up that cone like it was going out of style

The look on Audrey's face is priceless

poor kid...

**All lost cones were promptly replaced**

Pattycake!

The law of 2s

Audrey is full-fledged toddler! Right now she is all about 2: she'll be 2 in 2 months and already in terrible 2s mode! Man, can this girl throw a fit when she doesn't get her way. It's a good thing she is as cute as can be and incredibly smart to boot. She can count to 13, knows almost all of her colors, practices her abc's and speaks in full sentences. I'm talking 5/6 word sentences! Just the other day she said to me "Hi mom, come sit right here" patting her hand on the couch. I am amazed at her verbal development! I've lost count of how many words she says because she is that good at telling me exactly what she wants :)

I have tons of pictures but need to upload them so I'll leave you with a few from last month:

***I know how long it's been, trying to get better :)
