Baby Drag

This is what happens when my lil sister lets me loose on her baby boy....

JK. Devon was all for this. He asked what Dexter would look like if we dressed him as a girl, so I tested it out.

On another note, this is just a funny picture of Tessa. She had on every bracelet at my mom's house. She said she was "helping". But since when does helping mean accessorizing? Right?

And that's ketchup on her face. I just let her keep it there for most of the day so she gets to taste it every once in a while.

Dentist!

If you think I'm referencing the beloved song from Little Shop of Horrors, you're right. And, we went to the dentist. And this time they actually cleaned Tessa's teeth and everything. It was sad and great. She was super excited, then really nervous, then excited again, because Alex promised to buy her a toy. He's always promising shiz...

Before

During

The after is just like the before, but with cleaner teeth...I didn't take a picture of it, because it's a waste of camera memory. I've got a bazillion pictures of this kid.

Til next time.

Because I promised...

I promised I would post this picture, and I always keep my promises. My goal in life is to ruin other people's lives, and right now I'm working on this girl...

Embarrassing, much? She totally walked around work like this-and she let me take a picture. It's like she was asking for it.

Don't mess with the best, Chels.

(No, this is not a note to me. Her name is also Chelsea.)

It's the Word.

So last night, the fam (me and Alex and child) watched VH1's Movies that Rock. And the movie, you ask? My apologies to Cessy, but it was Grease. And yes, we watched the whole thing. But it was like we have turned Tessa onto a whole new world...this was how she looked the entire time.

She sat straight up and stared at the screen. Notice this is the end of the movie, so the whole time she was staring at the television. It was great.

I'm an Awesome Mother

Because this is what goes on when I let Tessa play alone in her room...

Her book of 2000 stickers is now down to 1500. You can't see this, but they are also under her arms and on her legs.

I thought she was playing with her barbies...she's great. And don't worry Alex, I wasn't watching the Bad Girls Club Marathon or anything...

Creepy Christmas

So everybody loves to go see Christmas lights, right? Pretty much. But nothing warms my heart like some creepy holiday displays. I can't even explain the joy I feel when I stumble across these little pieces of heaven. The thing that I think is wrong about Christmas is that the paper will always give a little map of the houses that are amazingly decorated, but they never point out the little gems of creepiness. So when I do find one, it's a Christmas miracle. Here's what Alex and I found tonight...on Christmas Street.

This cute little house. Decorated beautifully. And it even had little children gazing out the window...

"Wait!" I shouted to Alex..."those aren't just any children"...

That's right. They are fake. And they stare into your soul.

I love it. This is the best part about Christmas...this and Baby Jesus.

DEXTER!!!!

Baby Dexter is here! My lil sis Cailey went into labor yesterday-well last night and she had Dexter Alan Tonks at 7:56 am today. He is 7 lbs. 11 oz. and 20 inches long. And he has blonde hair...a little bit. He's so cute! I love him so much!! (said while crying) Here are pictures!

The new family. Yes, those are tears you see in Devon's eyes. He still had tears in his eyes hours later. He just really loves fatherhood.

Dexter. Obviously. Like I would put a picture of a newborn baby that wasn't Dexter.

Grandpa Ted with Dexter. He tried to make me pay for his visitors pass because he wanted to stay in there...I didn't pay. He's my dad, so he gave it to me...

Dexter and me. He already loves me.

Cessy and Dexter. She loves him.

Zach and Cessy and baby. They love babies. They plan on having some more.
UGH. He's so cute! And I'm not even saying that because he's my newest nephew. He's really cute. I can't wait to have my baby...in July.
Congratulations Cailey and Devon!
You did a good job making a baby!
