Funniest thing ever! Seriously...EVER!!!

OK, let me preface this post by saying, I know... I know it's been a ridiculous seven and a half months since my last post. I could run through the battery of excuses for why it's been so long but they are, alas, excuses. What can I say? Life is crazy! Anyway, I do have a list of approx. a gazillion events, funnies, etc. to post, and I will get to them. PROMISE! But something happened last night that was just too priceless to keep to myself. So be looking for an incredibly large amount of back-dated posts coming soon, but for now...on with the post!

Fairly frequently Terry and I will sneak a peek at Selah before we turn in for the night. She's at such an active age, so it's a really sweet moment to just watch her sleep peacefully and marvel at how big she looks all stretched out in her crib. Well, last night was no exception, so at about 10:30 we crept in to her room. As I walked over to her crib I glanced down to see her jammies lying on the floor. I thought, "how funny, she took her sleeper off". As I nudged Terry to point them out, he looked over the crib, turned to me and said, "She's completely naked!". I took a better look at the floor and there, by her sleeper, was her diaper. And in the crib, a completely naked Selah...dead asleep!!

Now, she'd been in bed for over 3 hours at that point so, of course, Terry checked and her sheet was soaked...UGH. So while Terry grabbed a clean sheet and new jammies, I ran for the camera. How I could I not document a moment like that?! And on top of it all, Selah stayed completely asleep for the nearly ten minutes it took to get both her and the crib cleaned and clothed again. We layed her back down with George (her giraffe) and blankie and she never knew the difference!

Terry and I went to bed cracking up at our funny little monkey and what a great memory that will be! Now, for the pics...

Jammies, diaper, and blanket...overboard!

Notice the large ring of pee-soaked sheet...obviously wasn't hindering her beauty sleep!

I LOVE me some Caedmon's!

I finally got a girls' night out! Which are pretty rare these days, I must say. This night was super fun for several reasons: I got to see one of my very best friends from college (and bridesmaids), Sarah; I got to give my best friend, Kippy, a much needed girls' night out too; and I got to see one of my all-time fave bands perform live! Yay! Terry and I used to go to concerts all the time when we lived in OK, but I'm sad to say that prior to this night we've only been to one in the whole four years we've lived in DFW. Needless to say I was super excited!

Happy Easter!

We had the perfect low-key Easter celebration this year. Went to church, hunted some eggs, at some ham. Good times...

Not really sure what this whole egg business is all about.

Or about the egg "ears"!

Now she's got it!

I realized after looking through the pics that I never did get a good shot of her all dressed up. Oh well, she does love dress up so maybe we'll just recreate the shot!

Poor James...

Nearly every day after Selah wakes up from her morning nap I let her watch a little Sesame Street while I fix lunch. Well, today was no different. Selah was sitting in her little wooden rocking chair enjoying her TV time and I was just about to put lunch on the table when a new sketch started. It was James Blunt sitting with his guitar, clearly down about something. Telly comes running up, asks James what's wrong and James says that he's lost something very special. Very concerned, Telly asks James what it is that he's lost and James decides to sing about it.

The music to "You're Beautiful" begins to play and James starts out with "This shape was brilliant..." and proceeds to sing "My Triangle" (the shape of the day).

No sooner did James start singing and I hear Selah start crying from the living room. I'm so close to having lunch ready that I just call from the kitchen, "Selah, what's wrong? It's OK, Baby Girl." while I finish cutting up her food. The cries continue to grow with each line James sings, and so I round the corner to find Selah, in her chair, tears rolling down her cheeks, pointing at the TV.

James Blunt is making my daughter cry!!

As I'm about to console her I think, what a funny post that would be! So I run grab the camera and get a few quick shots. Bad Mommy, I know. As I take the last pic the sketch ends and Elmo's World comes on; the tears and crying are immediately replaced with clapping and smiling for her furry, red monster-friend!! Oh, the drama!

Of course, I'd like to think that my little girl is so very intuitive and insightful that she was being truly sympathetic to James' plite in the loss of his beloved triangle. But I guess I must admit that it may have been his scary falsetto voice and accent, or the sad music, too!

Anway, I thought the story and pics of James Blunt terrorizing my sweet baby was definitely post-worthy! Check out the pic and video below:

Don't cry, James!

Doesn't everybody drink like this?!
