Funny Hair!

Lorelai's hair is nuts lately! There's not much you can do with it, except hope that it lays down. Tonight when I got her out of the bath, I tossled her hair with the towel and got a diaper on her. When I looked up, she looked SO STINKIN CUTE! I grabbed the camera and got a couple of pretty good shots.

I just can't quit laughing at these! Her Daddy wants me to make sure I keep them for when she starts dating:)

Sweet Snuggles

Lorelai doesn't really like to snuggle. If she has a choice (and she usually does) she'd much rather be on the floor, or at least on the move in someone's arms. Last night, I got a rare chance to rock my girl to sleep.

She was so sleepy when we got home from dinner. I got her ready for bed and took her back to her room. I didn't expect to rock her, but I decided to give it a shot. She was already so tired, so I didn't think she would fight it too much. And she didn't! She immediately snuggled into my arms and started loving on my shirt sleeve, something new that she's started doing lately. I was in Mommy heaven! I sang and sang to her, picking random Christmas songs and old hymns. I finally put her in her bed so she could stretch out. But not before soaking in the wonderful feeling of my big little girl in my arms. Not before kissing her a thousand times. Not before crying just a little at how incredibly amazing she is. Not before talking to Jesus for quite a while about the kind of Mommy I want to be for Lorelai, and the kind of woman I know He wants her to become.

Jeremy got to cuddle with his baby girl tonight. It was absolutely sweet! We turned off the lights, had our tiny fireplace going, and Christmas music playing over the TV. Lo snuggled up with her Daddy in his recliner, and they both fell asleep. After about 30 minutes, I took her to bed.

What sweet, sweet moments with our sweet, sweet Lorelai. These are some of the moments that I would like to pause. I'm so ready to make these memories with #2 very soon. Before we have time to blink twice, our family will grow from 3 to 4. It's not at all the way I imagined my life...it's better!

Roger's Top Ten

I realize I blog a lot...maybe too much...about the Rangers. I just can't help it! I'm going to do my very best to make this my last Ranger post for a while. But I just couldn't help myself.

During the World Series, my clever father came up with a Top Ten Countdown that I thought was incredibly funny! So I've got to share.

Top Ten Reasons You Might Suspect You're a Rangers Bandwagon Jumper

10)     You don't know who Joaquin Arias is without searching the internet

  9)     You're unsure of how to pronounce (or even who is) Esteban German

  8)     You think TAG is just a silly kids' game

  7)     You think Salty is a type of roasted peanut, and a Teagarden is where an Englishman has his afternoon drink with crumpets

  6)     You weren't "throwing" the CLAW sign in June

  5)     You think you can make a Julio Borbon by mixing tequila and whiskey

  4)     You find yourself saying, "VLAD! How in the WORLD could you swing at THAT pitch?!"

  3)     You think, "Hey, who's that old bald guy sitting next to the former President? Is he some kind of secret service?"

  2)     You're thinking of buying tickets, in the left-field upper deck, for a 5 p.m. July 4 game next season.

  1)     You're worried because the Rangers are down 3 games to 1. RELAX! WE GOT THIS!

I thought those were so funny! Of course, the #1 reason proved to be untrue, but they proved time and again this year that you just can't give up on the Rangers. I'm already counting down to Opening Day at The Ballpark in Arlington on April 1, 2011. I'm still trying to talk my wonderful husband into taking his 8-month-pregnant wife to that weekend series. We'll see if I can convince him between now and then! I only have 5 months and 21 days left!
