the mere fact that a stick was involved, basically guaranteed her immediate interest- but once she realized that there was a hot dog on said stick- it was love.
"MMMMMMM!!!"
"alex, are you done...?"
"HECK NO I'M NOT DONE!!!!"
"mamma- yummmm! NICE!"
it took her about an hour, but she finished the entire thing (minus 1 or 2 bites stolen by me. when it comes to corn dogs i'm like a 5 year old.)
now i know some of you may be asking, "omg, you let your kid eat hot dogs?! and corn dogs?! nitrates & preservatives & sugar & random animal parts?! OMG!"
and the answer is, yes. yes i do.
because hot dogs are awesome and they're not going to kill her. and corn dogs are even better because there is a hot dog + corn bread. so it's a win win.
and there you go. but if it makes you feel any better, she eats fruits & broccoli like it's going out of style. and oatmeal- the kid adores her oatmeal. so i feel we've got a fair balance.
brynn, on the other hand, only drinks mom's milk. and she's already more than 1/2 of alex's size:
she's already in 3-6 month clothing & things that alex was wearing at 3 months are already too small. keep in mind- she's not even 2 months old yet. she's a tank. who spits up & entices cessna to lick her clean:
i try my best to keep the dog's mouths away from our mouths- but there are times where it's inevitably going to happen. they only have so much self control & spit up is a delicacy. and i'm only so fast.

and that's whats up.
in other news:
- we hired our nanny. did i already mention that? did i also mention that she costs more than our mortgage?! yeah- baffling to me.
- it's snowing. again. lots of inches. i'm over it.
- brynn is in cloth diapers now & i'm just not feelin' it. i was pretty gung ho with alex- but i'm tired. and stuffing diapers is the last thing i want to do. plus, brynn pees/poos ALL THE TIME and it's getting really old.
- our chest freezer is FULL of my milk. this is a problem because i'm out of room- so we have no choice but to purchase another one. asap.
and lastly...
- i've been considering a mini van. i can't even believe i just said that. don't tell my husband- he might leave me. but my God- mini vans are so roomy & comfy & better on gas...i'm resisting so far- but i find my eyes wandering whilst driving.
i see those moms in their vans- they smugly look over at me and i can tell they're laughing inside. why? because they swallowed their pride & purchased a comfort machine that allows easy access to their children, incredible amounts of room & the option to carpool without taking out a second mortgage for gas.
and here i am- in my tank (that i do love), cursing the man as i once again am bending over at the gas station.
that's right Shell, Mobile & Irving- i'm back for more. do what you want with me.
Lord help me.
