Five Question Friday

Allllllllrighty!  Time for 5 Questions Friday again!  Thanks Mama M for hosting!

1.  Would you ever vacation alone?
Umm...no.  Mommy would get put in jail if I went on vaca alone!  And who would feed me?  Sheesh.  You people...

2.  Do you go the speed limit?
Absolutely.  Especially if I'm going uphill in my trike.  Then it's more like negative speeds.

3.  Why did you start blogging/following blogs?
Well I don't know how to spell yet (except for the word sheep??) so my mommy does the blogging.  She started blogging when she found out I had to have a spinal fusion.  Here is her first post.

4.  Where do you shop for yourself?
Under my bed.  There are tons of "new" toys under there.

5.  What song did you have your first dance with your spouse to or what song do you want to dance to with your spouse.
I think the theme song to Little Einsteins should do.  You can listen to it here. 

Belli's Place Q & A

After thinking about it and asking around (you know, to make sure people would actually ask me questions) I have decided to do a Q & A post.  I have seen a lot of bloggers do it and I love to learn more about the authors of the blogs I read so I thought just MAYBE you guys would like to learn more about me or Isabelle.

So leave any question (or questions) you want to in the comments of this post.  It can be a question about either Isabelle or me.  Doesn't matter!  You can ask anonymously if you want too.  I will answer the questions sometime this weekend.  Thanks for participating!

Bed Head

Yep, Isabelle has it big time.  Bed head that is.  I have these pictures from about a year ago showing her bed head.

But in the five and a half months she had her halo on I completely forgot about her bed head because she was never laying on her head.  Her hair would be in the exact same place it was when I laid her down the night before.  So you can imagine my surprise (and laughter) when she woke up the morning after getting her halo off and she looked like this (excuse the dirty looking hair, Isabelle sweats at night and she had just woken up): 

Getting to Know You

Thanks to Keely for hosting Getting to Know You.

1.  Waffles, pancakes, or french toast?
Hmm...probably pancakes.  Preferably chocolate chip =-)

2.  Dream home, what would it looks like?
It would have at least four bedrooms because I would like to have at least three kids and I don't want them to have to share.  The master bathroom would be huge with a big whirlpool tub to take baths in and a separate shower and a TV.  It would have a huge wrap around porch with the part in the back screened in.  It would have huge backyard to play softball or football in.  Boy to I have dreams!!

3.  Favorite sport to watch during winter Olympics?
My dad and I LOVE to watch the "tushies boppers" during the figure skating.  It is so funny to watch them fall.  The looks on their face when they hit the ice is priceless!  I plan on letting Belli join in the fun this year.

4.  The first word that comes to mind when describing yourself?
Mother

5.  Dresses, pants, or skirts?
Pants!  Jeans, jeans, and more jeans.  Bring on the jeans!

6.  What is your favorite time of day?
The time between me putting Belli down for the night and going to sleep.  I love laying in my bad and playing on the computer and watching Law and Order SVU.

7.  Beach or Mountains?
Beach!!!

8.  Will you watch the Super Bowl?
Probably.  Especially if the Vikings go.  I would love to see Brett Favre win again.

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!
