catching up

let me tell you...teething all 4 eye teeth at one time does not make for a happy baby or a happy mommy. add to that me not sleeping well and you have one tired gal. so here's some catching up for ya:

a few weeks ago, chris, thalia and i did the Komen Race for the Cure with some of our church friends. it was another scorcher this year! poor thalia was soaked in her stroller. so chris took her out for a while and let her ride on his shoulders.

after we finished, we were walking around the campus and of course had to go see the helicopter. the medics let thalia sit in it; of course they thought she was adorable since she was so excited to see the "hepticopter".

later that day, we went over to kristy's apartment to use her pool. thalia LOVES being in the water...but still isn't into her picture being taken. guess i pictured her out when we were down here by ourselves.

we ended our weekend adventure with a trip to sonic for a slush, which thalia calls a "surpee"

thalia has definitely gotten into a movie phase. we were so excited when she started watching them, and now we can't get her to stop. this is her watching a movie in our bed.

to distract her from yelling she wanted to watch another movie, we started playing "airplane". she loved it!

just after this picture was taken, we realized that our A/C had gone out upstairs. hooray for no A/C when its 100 degrees outside!

needless to say, we spent two nights in our family room, camped out. the cool thing was our air mattress is the exact height and dimensions of the square of our couch! so thalia got one side, i got the other and chris got the air mattress. we were kind of hoping the unit was busted so we could get a new one under the home warranty that came with the house. alas, the thing was just disgusting! i have never seen an A/C unit look like that before! so a guy came out, cleaned it a bunch of times, and now we have cold air again :o)

we have also entered a phase of little miss "i can do it all by yourself (myself)", as well as little miss sassy pants. case in point: this is a picture of me chasing thalia into our neighbor's yard when she wanted to walk to the car by herself on her way to daycare. walk to the car turned into walk down the grass...complete with her hands on her hips.

she also likes to have her own "buggy" at the grocery store. of course this trip all jillian and i needed was a couple packs of beer!

finally, she likes to carry her own backpack on water park days at school. the thing is still about as big as she is, but she carries it to and from the car every week. what a goof.

in another post, i'll tell you all about our fourth of july adventure. it's a doozie! i'm waiting for some pics from gamma before i post the rest.

i hope you all had a great weekend!

much love and not so much sleep,

c, c, and t
