Weekend Happs

This weekend we tested out the Baby Bjorn...

(Try not to be jealous of my mom-sweat pants.)

Tried out new hair bows and put some more miles on the Bumbo...




And made all my dreams come true in the form of a baby size denim mini skirt.

(Sorry she's flipping you all off. Or am I?)

Oscars 2012! A week late.

I've been slacking on my red carpet fashion posts this year. I need to get my priorities in order. As for the Oscars, I was a little disappointed because it doesn't seem like anyone really brought the crazy this year. But we soldier on...

Let's kick things off with one I liked. I like this dress. I also love her facial expression, it's scary. I'm going to practice this in the mirror and then use it to my advantage, like to intimdate those pushy guys at the car wash that are always trying to get me to fill my windshield cracks.


The dress is fine, but now I understand why my mom is always telling me to stand up straight. And does that sleeve thing allow her to move her arm? I need answers.


Oh Caroline in the City, why are you at the Oscars? I feel like this is a maternity dress. I also feel like shawls are dated. These are my feelings.


That is one matching blazer if I have ever seen a matching blazer. I mean it's not horrible, but she was doing that Super Woman pose, ALL. NIGHT. Glenn enough with the pose, have a seat, relax, take a load off.


"I'm going to the Academy Awards! Bring me your most wrinkled black garbage bag! Pin it on me so it is very ill fitting!"


She looks very J.Lo-ish. But there is one thing I can't stand, and that is arm cut-outs. Put it on my gravestone - here lies Erica, she hated arm-cut outs.


Say what you will about Nancy O'Dell, she never seems to age. Or pick out good dresses. Or look non-orange.


When we first saw them Zach said "Stacy Keibler looks good." And that's when I realized I didn't know George Clooney's girlfriend's name, but Zach did. I'm not sure which one of us should be embarrassed.


Bury it, then bury the shovel.


Penelope Cruz, you never cease to bore me.


Arm cut-outs again! And lots of other issues. Like the issue of it being ugly, for example.


Alright I gotta go fight with Zach over the TV now, he's watching The Scorpian King. Really good taste in movies that one.

3 Months

My baby is 3 months old! We made the big step and moved her into her crib this week. I finally gave in only because she literally does not fit in her bassinet anymore. I requested we move the crib into our bedroom, but apparently that was a ridiculous idea according to Zach. The baby monitor is now super-glued to my FACE. No it's not, but kind of. You guys I cannot even handle her getting so big.



In other news, at first I was like Ben kicked off Kacie B.?! This is SHOCKING!!! But then I saw her limo confession and I was like, oh turns out maybe Kacie B. was kind of a psycho all along but hid it well. Now is Courtney going to win? I think this is a case of Ben being an ugly duckling and finally getting the chance to "propose" to a "model". PS Are we to really believe she is a model? I mean, we're talking mainly catalog work amirite? And that place where Courtney set up that stupid fake wedding was the same place Zach and I took our wedding pictures. And now Courtney has ruined it with her dumb lips.

Hey remember when I just wrote a paragraph about The Bachelor on my blog? That means I am really cool and not a loser at all in case you were wondering.

Misc.

If you're wondering if my baby is adorable, the answer is yes.


Hey and isn't it fun when you buy a car, and then two months later some 20-year-old kid rear ends you? YAY FOR FUN!


(P.S. I call 20-year-olds "kids" now. Pull up your pants and turn down your music!)

Ivy's Blessing

We blessed Ivy on Sunday. Zach gave her such a beautiful blessing and she looked so cute! It was so nice to have so many family and friends there.





Her sweet bracelet with an "I" for Ivy, from Grandma Young.


We had everyone over for brunch at our house after church.








This was taken right before she decided to pee on her Uncle Sam.








Most of the Young clan.




Stealing a kiss from Roycer.




Thank you to everyone that came!

Terrible Blogger

I don't have pictures of Christmas or New Year's. "Oh but it's your baby's first Christmas, surely you documented it." Nope. Sorry Ivy, you have no holiday memories because your mom is lazy.

But I must meet the demands of Grandmas near and far, so here's what I've got.

Playing Xbox with dad. Not really into it once she realized it had nothing to do with milk.


Spending some quality time with her big sister.


A little concerned about over-sized bows and dad's awkward photo pose hold.


And try looking at these and not wanting to have a million babies. You can't. I want to be surrounded by ridiculous baby smiles forever and ever and ever amen.




I'm obsessed with her. That's all. Talk to you later.

Girls

Sometimes I find hilarious videos online and I yell at Zach to come watch them with me, and he doesn't come running up the stairs immediately like he should so I have to post them on my blog instead.



On the other hand, sometimes he finds a video and insists I watch it, so I do. But it's usually a fat person falling off a swing.
