Five Question Friday

I am so tired I almost can't lift my finger to type Mama M's Five Question Friday.  I think Belli had a night terror last night and it kinda freaked me out a little.  Then I started freaking myself out because she got some vaccines a couple of days ago and I started worrying it had something to do with that.  So then I didn't sleep well.  Anywho...

But even though I am super tired I will muster up the strength to do 5QF just for you guys!  I am channeling Belli as we speak.  Aren't I nice =-) Oh, and FYI I am opting out of question number one today because Belli is too young to be worrying or thinking about these things and it made me a little sad to think about it!

2.  Who takes out the garbage at your house?
That would be granddad.  He does the garbage and the recyclables.  Don't you guys know that's a man's job?

3.  Have you ever had the same dream many times? 
I'm not sure.  But mommy thinks I used to have an imaginary friend named Gook that I would talk to at night sometimes.

4.  Can you play a musical instrument?
I can rock out on the piano!

5.  If you owned your own store what would you sell?
Laughter.  I would make millions!  People think I am hysterical...I would have to agree.

Two Year Checkup

So today I finally got around to taking Belli in for her two year checkup (six months late).  Since she had the halo and vest on and we wouldn't be able to get a weight or height and I didn't want her to get any shots with it still on I am just now taking her. 

Anywho...

So when we got in the car I told her we were going to see the doctor.  She said "Dr. Rozzelle (her neuro)?"  I told her no that we were going to see her pediatrician.  She got pretty ticked about that.  She wanted to go see her neuro.  Well after throwing a fit in the car for a couple of minutes she finally got over it and was a very good girl the rest of the time.

When we got there they took blood and she only cried a little bit.  The put one of those urine bags on that has that sticky thing shaped like a U that they stick on them to catch the urine.  We sat there for FOREVER before the doctor finally came in.  Isabelle colored and read a book while we waited.

When the doctor finally came in she did not quit taking the whole time he was in there!  She started telling him about how the "nursery" aka the nurse put a U on her "tooshie" and about her book.  He said, "Oh, I see you have a book."  And she responded with, "And I have a blankey too!"  Then she started telling the doctor about his pen and that it was black and that he had a "puter" aka computer.  While he was in there another little baby was getting shots in another room.  Isabelle looked at him and said, "Oh, that baby's crying...Can we go seem him cry?"  It was so funny!  I told her that it wouldn't be very nice to look at the baby cry and she seemed ok with that. 

He then started asking me how she was doing with her walking and everything and I told him that she was able to walk with her walker short distances.  Well as soon as she heard me say the word walker she went on this long spill about how her PT came to the house this morning and they walked with the walker and did standing and rode on the tricycle.  He of course thought she was precious and obviously healthy.  I'm pretty sure he was ready to get out of there though!

She weighed 23lbs and 14ozs and was 34 inches long.  She was in the 3rd percentile for weight and 10th for height.  So she is back on the charts, at least according to their weight and height.  Quiet honestly I don't trust their scales or the way they measure so I'm not sure how accurate it was but I'll take it!

Once the doctor was finished the nurse came in with Belli's shots.  She screamed liked a mad woman for about a minute and then she was over it.  While she was still screaming the nurse took off the urine bag and Isabelle screamed at her, "ALL DONE WITH THE LETTER U!!!!!"  Oh my...It was funny!

Getting to Know You

I am so excited about Keely's Getting to Know You this week.  This week for every person that links up she is donating 25 cents to the Red Cross to help the relief in Haiti.  So make sure you link up!

This weeks questions are...

1.  Hair color...natural or not?
Natural!  I have NEVER dyed my hair and never plan on it either.  Maybe one day when I start turning gray I will but let's hope that's not for a while.

2.  If somebody has food or lipstick on their teeth do you tell them?
It depends on who they are.  Family or friends absolutely.  Strangers...depends on the situation I guess.  If it was a classmate or teacher about to make a presentation or something then yea because that would be really embarrassing for them to get up in front of a bunch of people with something on their teeth.  Random lady at the grocery store?  Probably not.

3.  Would you rather have a million dollars or your version of the perfect body?
A million dollars!  I already like my body but even if I didn't I could use some of the million to fix that.

4.  Favorite Magazine?
Ok...I know I'm going to get ragged for this.  But....The Reader's Digest.  I KNOW!  Don't even start.

5.  Bra style...lacy or plain?
Plain

6.  If you walked into Victoria Secret are your more likely to walk out with something sexy or comfy?
Well considering I sleep in a t-shirt and pj pants...comfy!

7.  Do you fake and bake?
I haven't recently.  I asked for a gift certificate for Christmas but someone never got it for me...

8.  What is your favorite physical feature on a man?
Definitely arms and hair.

Five Question Friday

Hip hip hooray!  Hip hip hooray!  Time for Five Question Friday again!  Thanks Mama M.

1.  Worst trouble you ever got into as a teenager?
My mommy can only imagine what kind of trouble I am going to get into as a teenager.  But, if I am anything like her she will only have to worry about me getting into trouble at school.  My mommy never got into any REAL trouble but did get a few detentions, Saturdays schools, and MIGHT have been suspended one time.

2.  Are you a morning person or a night person?
Both really.  It's that wake up after nap time that I am NOT.

3.  Are you a one handed or two handed texter?
Both hands.  I text people on my play phone all the time!

4.  Democrat, Republican, Independent or Green Party (whatever that is).
I don't know yet.  Being only two and a half I really only care about watching Elmo and making sure I have my milk with Carnation.  But, rest assured that although my mommy is a liberal leaning moderate she will make sure I research all of my options and make an informed decision on my own.

5.  Are you a pet person?
Not really.  Mommy's not sure if I just don't like the dog or if it's just that the dog smells but I'm not a big fan.
