A little CAKE a lot of FUN our little LOTTIE is ONE!

 

I can hardly believe she is one. She is such a joy. Lottie's growing up so fast but we are having so much fun watching her learn and discover new things everyday. She is... walking, climbing up on everything, talking...she says birdie, mom, dad, hi, bye, Lottie, dirty, roars like a lion, moo's like a cow, says baa baa for her lamb, pants like a puppy and so on. She knows where her mouth, nose, and head are. She never and I mean never stops talking and making all kinds of noises. Lottie loves to dance, anytime music comes on she has to move her little body. She gave me one glorious week of sleeping through the night...no longer does that sniff sniff. She is easy to please and quick to smile and laugh. We love everything about you and have loved to watch you grow into the little person you are right now. Thanks for being the cutest and best little Lottie.

 
 
 
 

Big Baby...

I arrived back here in "The Big-O" on Monday afternoon to find our place just like we left it. The apartment was clean, cozy, and quiet.... too quiet actually. This is due to the fact that Ash and the bug stayed in the motherland for the Brady and Hollie wedding and shipped me back here, as school was starting up again. It is now Thursday night, and it feels like it has been a whole month! my bottom lip is actually getting fatigued as a result of the full time pouting that I have been doing since I got back here! I think that it should be unlawful to leave a man alone in Ottawa for any extended period of time! I have reached a pathetic state that I'm not sure I have ever been in before. It is called pathetic sadandlonelyitis.... a chronic condition that is most common in grown men who have an awesome cute wife and a little lady who seems to erase stresses and troubles just by smiling. I miss them both Big time when I come home at the end of the day.... and am excited for the end of the month when they will come home! Hopefully the symptoms remain as pouty complaining and don't progress to outbursts of crying. Ha ha... Dave P.
a.k.a.... The Big Baby.

Too Cute For Words...

She really is scrumptious.

It doesn't mean your not beautiful...

Well... we are not going to New York to be a part of Regis and Kelly's beautiful baby contest darn it...the top ten where pretty cute, but I still think I have such a cute lady. She is already 9 months old which I find hard to believe...9 months of pregnancy felt so much longer. Lottie has such a fun personality, always happy and smiling... and never ever sits still. She loves playing with her dad but has to have her mom when she is tired or wants to cuddle, melts my heart a little and confuses dad a lot. She has already said her name, she is such a smart little girl, even if she didn't know that was what she was saying... it clearly was! She never stops talking and making such cute noises. If we distract her enough she will stand up by herself until she realizes whats going on, not like cousin Elle who already took a couple of steps but we will get there. Every time music comes on she has to dance...love it. She growls, its especially funny at church when it is all quiet...what? did that just come out of a baby? She has curly hair like mommas...oh I am so happy I hope it stays. She has the cutest little nose...thanks dad! and her eyes squint shut just like her dads when she smiles. Dave says that can be dangerous if you are trying to move at the same time, as the squint can impair your vision slightly! I could go on and on I am sure. We are so glad to have a happy healthy baby and we love her lots and lots! I just wish she would slow down a little, I am not ready to let her grow up. We are so excited to come home so you can enjoy Lottie as much as we do. See you in 18 days!!!!!

Stay Tuned...

Every mom thinks their baby is the most beautiful baby ever, I am sure you do too...but you're wrong, I have the cutest lady so there. Just kidding but I did enter Lottie in the Regis and Kelly beautiful baby contest. I have seen some of the kids in the gallery and well there is not much competition.

Here is why I think she should win...

• I entered the cutest picture ever (the blog header one, just in color)

• They will see how stylish she is... I would die to wear something like that and look that cute, I am sure Kelly will approve.
• I have looked for her in the gallery and even though she is not in there I am sure it is because as soon as they saw her they put her in a whole different category
• There is not any other Lottie's, just thousands and thousands of Logans, Lorelies, Emilys etc etc. She is one of a kind!
  
• her personality...she really is funny and happy all the time
• it will give me a good excuse to go buy a new outfit...for me too of course. I hate to admit this but I have spent a few nights daydreaming of winning and what I would wear, and I am just not too sure I have anything in my closet that would be worthy of meeting Kelly in.
  
• I really really really want to go to New York...I bet they put you in a nice hotel and send cars or limos to pick you up...they do those sort of things.
  
• Do you think they do your hair and makeup before you go out...I don't know if I would like that...what if you got some crazy weirdo.
  
• I am sure Lottie is going to be so smart and therefore the $125,000 towards education will come in handy.

So stay tuned...I will know at the end of the month whether these people have any taste or not!
