14 months

well another month has flown by and my baby is quickly turning into a toddler..today marks 14 months :)

 We were bored at work the other night and thought we would take the ol swing for a trial ride.. i think she may have out grown it..it was fun for a minute though

 SO. we were walking around hastings (book/music/movie store) the other night and we turn our backs for 1 second and we find our daughter holding what? yes a beer bong. and she even had her mouth on it!! we were dying.. and when we took it away from her, she threw fit#651684168. sorry bentley, we were not going to buy u a bb.

 bentleys new thing is watching tv on the couch like a big girl.. she especially likes when her puppy is up there with her..

 we love going to feed the ducks.. bentley looks like a little shephard here.. holding the dog chuckit'. she would not let it go!

 no fear.. she will go right up to those ducks.. who cares if they are bigger? not bentley..

 once again, holding the dog toy in the swing..

the ducks ate an entire loaf of bread that day. fatties.

i caught this on camera this last sunday morning.. RARE moment. bentley is NOT a cuddler.. and what did daddy get on sunday? 10 whole minutes of this!! so jealous!

So @ 14 little months bentley is growing like a weed. dont know how much she weighs.. but i know she has grown a ton! she is a lug! she has her mommas stinky feet and she picks up shoes and says stiiiiiink! it is the funniest thing i have ever heard. her vocabulary grows every day.. her most used sayings are hiiiii dadda or hiiii doggie. stiiink, deees, no!, nigh nigh, she signs "more" when she wants more food and she is a copy cat. she usually tries to say anything we say. she loves her bottle ( i know bad mom award, that should have been gone months ago.. but she will live and im not ready to fight that battle) she loves any kind of animal, we are soooo excited to take her to the zoo this summer. she has to walk on her own every where we go. no more being held.. no way, dont even think about putting this kid in a cart. shopping takes 15x longer now. she loves her daddy omg she loves her daddy.. (note picture above) hates getting dressed, that is a 7 minute battle twice a day. starting to like her baths a little more. loves fish. says hiii fishie everytime she comes into work (cody has a lifesize fish mount in his office) loves elmo and barney. loves applesauce, goldfish crackers, honeycomb, granola bars, and MILK. man my kid is going to have some solid bones, she goes through a gallon in 3 days..loves ice. LOVES ice. cries for ice! crazy kid. we love our princess sooo much!! cheers to being one month closer to my child being able to attend nursery @ church!! (18 months could not come soon enough!) :))

happy new year & a new family member!

 Meet Maxx.. on Monday the 2nd, Cass and I went on over to home depot to get us a 75% christmas tree for next year. well we did come home with a xmas tree, but we also came home with a puppy. We were driving and i see a play pin full of puppies on the side of the road and of course wanted to stop. BAD idea. who goes to just look at puppies? obvi not me, i could not leave without cute little maxx. he is half lab, half boxer, so that makes him a boxador i guess. hes now 8 weeks old and he is just the cutest. We have forgotten how hard it is to have a new dog, but he is adjusting well! bentley totally loves him and diesel is so excited to be a big brother. 

this was taken the night we got him.. he was about the size of my slipper. he is so cuddley and loves to be held. he has already grown, i know we wont have a puppy for much longer.. im hoping he wont be too big but we will see! hope everyone had a great new year! cheers to 2012 being amazing!! <3
