Project Life 2012 - Week 3 and going strong!

The Mom Creative


Week 3 and I'm more motivated than ever to make this year's album awesome!  I've been working on finishing up my 2011 album and while I thought I had done terrible at getting pictures during the fall, I've found that I didn't miss as much as I thought I did.  I still wish I had done a little better, but that just gives me something to strive for this year! 

*Blogger is being a pain about the pictures, so things are not lining up like I want them to, but I'm too tired to fight with it anymore.*

1/16/12  Scoot is 19 months old today.  She use to fit completely on this little blanket.  And now... now... well now she barely fits at all and is not interested at all in laying on the blanket for mom to take pictures!

The next picture is 1/17/12 but I can't get Blogger to make a space for me to write directly above it.  I'm trying to just go with the flow here... but it's hard.  ANYWAY!!
1/17/12 Baby Roo had it's very first test.  A non-stress test.  I started these pretty early when I was pregnant with Scoot too, but it was because of high blood pressure.  This time I still can't figure out why we are doing these.  I get to sit and concentrate on my sweet baby for at least 30 minutes twice a week though, so I don't mind so much!

1/18/11 Scoot has a favorite book -  I'm a Big Sister Now - and she reads it all day long!  When she's not asking me to read it 7 times in a row, she reads it to Elmo or her baby.  I love listening to her tell the story.  
1/19/12 (pictures above and below -- another spacing issue)  Our 2011 album has been out constantly while I steal a few moments here and there to work on finishing it up.  Today I "caught" both Scoot and Aaron looking at it at separate times.  That's why I do this!  I'm so glad they enjoy looking back on these memories!

1/20/12 Scoot loves bath time!! All the bubbles are gone and her water looks a little dingy, but she's still having a great time and a nice long bath is a good way to spend a nice chunk of time on a cold day where we don't want to be outside.

1/21/12 We don't always make smart planning decisions.  It was pouring down rain but we decided that today was actually the best day for us to go to Williamsburg.  This was our first stop in Colonial Williamsburg to check out a toy shop for a hard to locate toy.  There were very few other people as silly as us - out in this rain!  We went to the outlets after this and the rain did finally let up. 

1/22/12 Church sure did wear this poor girl out!  I love that she has her sunglasses hanging on her face and her book is still open to the page she was reading when she dozed off.  Scoot always takes her shoes off in the car, so no surprise there!

33 Weeks with Baby Roo and a 19 month melt down.
