How Much Would You Pay for Child Safety?!

Me? I paid almost $50 just to hear the doctor say that my baby has the common cold... thank goodness for insurance! (Story behind that: last check up the doctor says to be careful cuz RSV season is coming. He said if my baby coughs, then caution flags should go up ASAP. My baby coughed....stupid caution flags)

Oh well, I guess $50 for piece of mind isn't that.... oh wait, it is. Thankfully, I'm not the kind of parent who spends this much money on these fancy baby products... and if you have one or more of any of the following products, then yes, I am judging you. And no, these are not in any particular order of ridiculousness...

Serious?! How could you look at this and think: yes, I would love to buy this because it looks so fashionable and at the same time it can keep my baby AND me warm. Because I can promise you that isn't what I will be thinking when I see you...

Ok, I'll admit that having to go to the bathroom at the store with a child is no easy feat... but lets be honest, you laughed because this looks stupid, right?

Is it REALLY that difficult to change the kids' diaper?! You're AT LEAST twice as big as your baby!! And you call yourself a parent....

And here's another one... If you need a rubber duck to tell you if the water is too hot for your kid, then maybe parenting just isn't for you. 

Um... what?! So if your baby has a snotty nose, go ahead and stick one part in the nose and the other in... your mouth?! WTF?! (F = freak or F... not the other one. I'm Mormon.)

I guess it sorta makes sense for your baby to wear a helmet... especially if you have hardwood floors or whatever. But think about it. Your baby's head is already the heaviest part of your baby so lets go ahead and make it heavier! Yeah! So instead of a few bumps on the head, let's get a broken nose or something. 

Don't worry, I'm not REALLY judging any of you moms out there for having any of these... but if you do have any of them, I may laugh at you. 

Just a little bit.

Baby Stuff

 Peyton and I have our morning routine down. I feed her, put her in her bouncer then go to the bathroom to get ready. I heard her crying the other morning and saw this......

So this is why they have a seat belt on these bouncers..... 

Dont Worry Peyton....

Look closely......

Yes, this is a picture of my baby's belly.... not the best quality because you can't see the blue permanent marker all over her. See, Peyton has a onesie that has a list of things she loves: hugs, kisses, mommy.... oh yeah, and....

I guess daddy was feeling a little left out so he made sure Peyton knows that daddy is one of her favorites as well....

Oh well, it was funny to say the least and at least now she will always remember.... permanently.

Yay for eating whatever I want!! (aka. I got my braces off)

Dear Bristol Palin ....

Sometimes (keyword: sometimes) I feel embarrassed for you when I watch you dance but I honestly hope you kick trash next week in the finals just to show everyone that you CAN do this. Good luck!

Sincerely,

Me

Loved the music for this dance!

My Not-So-Awkward-Actually-Kind-Of-Cute-And-Mostly-Of-Peyton Family Pictures

Family Photos

Since our little family is growing, I thought it would be fun to get some family photos done. My neighbor did them when we took Peyton's newborn pics and I love them! I don't have them yet but before you think that you wasted your time by coming to my blog, hang on a sec. This IS worth your while because this post has pictures! Lots of them! Here are a few family photos that I dug up..... online..... and completely unrelated to me at all.... I'm just crossing my fingers my own family photos are a little less awkward than these.


** Thank you awkwardfamilyphotos.com for all the pictures (and to Ashley for introducing me to this absolutely amazing, completely time-wasting, incredibly hilarious website!!) Here are just some of my PG-rated favorites. Enjoy.

And if you go to the website, be warned... these are PG, there are some others that should be rated R for nudity except they are covering their who-whos and the ha-has.... you were warned!

So many hands....

*Sigh* Try to keep up...

Cingular....

No, it's not a bird or a plane....


And I was worried about what MY hair looked like....

He was obviously not the favorite....

I guess there just wasn't enough room on the couch..for...her...

Clearly a win-win situation....What says success more than your knocked-up wife AND your dead turkey?! (And this was the most family-friendly picture of the pregnant wife that I found... there are a lot more not-so-family-friendly-but-absolutely-hilarious-and-completely-ridiculous pictures of pregnant women and their rather eccentric husbands..... Hilarious...but naked)

So there you have it. Awkward family photos.... Hopefully mine won't be this bad :) and yes, I will post the real ones as soon as I get them!!
