"Golfing"

Nog, Koli, and I went on date night last night, but this was no ordinary date night. Let me just say, I have a very creative husband.

So..... we have a golf course right across the street from our house and one time (a long time ago) I went golfing and I thought it was so much fun. I just loved being outside and being surrounded by a bunch a grass and playing a game. Nog on the other dislikes golfing, but still almost every time we drive by the golf course I say "Babe, we should really go golfing sometime that would be so fun." He doesn't really agree though. So the other day I said it again and we both laughed knowing it probably won't ever happen.

Friday came around and that means it was time for date night. He said he had planned something for us but wouldn't tell me what it was.

I love surprises.

So we got in the car, drove for 5 seconds and got out at MacArthur park. (a couple houses down from us) Bringing 2 Frisbee's along, he says, "Ok! We are going to play golf. We will both throw to a spot we choose and see how many times it takes us to get there till we hit it, and it will be just like playing golf." hahaha I was a little questionable about this idea at first but once we got started it was quiet great in fact! Koli was loving being outside and the weather was so nice.

Here's Koli driving us to the park

She loves driving us around.

She is so funny every time I hold this girl on my hip she does this. She seems to be more interested in the ground.

Ha So cute!

P.S. Nog won if you were wondering.

After our game we came home, put down the bean and went to Panda Express. Something really great we've just discovered.... We give GG our video monitor and she calls us if Koli's waken up and needs us back home. We just make sure not to go to far and we get to have some time alone it's wonderful. We take advantage of that, that's for sure!

This was Nog's fortune, how fitting A?!

Toothbrush

Each morning I put Koli in her bumbo and set her on the counter while I get ready. She watches me wash my face, brush my teeth, and do my hair. For sure the brushing the teeth part is her favorite. Every time I do she'll just stare at my  mouth and watch all the toothpaste fall out (I'm very messy when I brush my teeth). She watches with the biggest smile on her face. So this morning she decided she wanted to brush her teeth too. She grabbed Nogs toothbrush from it's holder and stuck it straight in her mouth. She knew exactly what she was doing, and she was determined to get that mouth clean. She brushed her entire mouth for about 15 minutes. Her 2 teeth are sparkly clean today.

So, after showing me she's big enough for her very own toothbrush. I went into the closet and pulled out hers. She doesn't know quite know how to use this small one yet though, she's got to get used to it first.

Happy babe

This week so far has sure been a great one. Here's what's been going on so far.

Nog has been needing to get new wheels for quite some time now. Really, we were getting scared for his life each time he drove, so while we were waiting, we walked across the street to Big Lots and hung out there for a while. Koli was really loving her daddy today. Not that she doesn't other days but it was some extra loving on this day for Daddy.

Getting ready for the Easter bunny

Koli was acting fussy so I fed her, gave her a little more milk after cause she was still acting hungry, and after all that we gave her some carrots I had cooked for her. She was so full and happy after all that, all she wanted to do was just lay on the floor and relax, tucking that lip in.

Nog wanted to be just like Koli and make the same face, Hummmm I don't know...... who's cuter?

Love this picture! 

 Now time for a bath, then bed, that's one happy babe.

Please!!!

We have an exceptionally bright child. Yes I know every parent says that about there child but really, we do. :)

I have been signing with this little one since she was like 4 months. I've heard not to do it till they are like 9 months or so because they can't sign back until then anyways but despite the odds I thought I'm going to do it anyway. This past week Koli has been signing "please" to us anytime she wants...

1. Milk

2. Food

3. Wants to be picked up

At first we thought she's probably just moving her hand around and doesn't really know it, but then we noticed she would only do it at the appropriate times. It is the cutest thing I've ever seen. She makes a little fist and rubs it on her chest, she'll even do 2 fists if she's really wanting something bad. It's amazing how much a little baby can pick up so fast and at so young.

Here is a video of her signing "please." :)

Bite

Koli's new thing is the bite her bottom lip. She does it all day long. It makes for the cutest smiles ever I'm pretty sure.

Trying out her new teething net ( I think that's what it's called), I think we was afraid of it but liked what it offered at the same time.

This little girl keeps on falling asleep on me like she used to when she was little-r. No matter how much my back aches from holding her while she's sleeping, I just can't get myself to put her down.

Happy girl, Date night

Mom watched Koli for us, while Nog and I got to go to a MOVIE!!!

Seriously though I can't even begin to tell you how excited I was for this movie. We haven't been to a movie together since Koli was born and I had been up late at night dreaming about when we could do it again.

 That's not a joke.

We got really into the books "The Hunger Games" and so when the movie came out this past weekend that was my request for date night.

 He happily agreed, and we couldn't have loved the movie more.

 I had so much fun spending time with my Nogal bear (yes I really do call him that every day)

 It felt like the old days, going out on a date, flirting with each other and all that good stuff.

This bag here was eaten by me and ONLY me. I am having this really big weakness for Twizzlers lately and yes I ate 2 pounds of them by myself and I don't regret it, not one bit.

Best night ever!

 

PICTURES!!!

Yay we did it we took Koli's 6 month pictures I'm so happy they are done and I LOVE them oh so much. We went Yesterday and she was having a hard time, she was so tired, so we took a few then realized this wasn't going to work, so we came back today.

She did awesome.

As long as I was in the other room were she couldn't see me.

If she sees me then that means she knows I'm going to pick her up and cuddle her so I had to stay away. So that made it even more fun for me because I got to be surprised when I saw all the pictures. These ones are all my favorite, it was really hard to choose!

This first one is the picture we will have in our house forever!

Literally I will never take it down.

Her eyes are seriously amazing.

Silly Mountain

Another day another hike.

Yes indeed, another hike.

 We sure do love them,

and our sweet fanny packs too!
