Here are an assortment of fat photo's. They really don't do justice to the amount of weight she's put on the last week.

I love children's books. Specifically picture books. I've been collecting them for several years now and I've decided to occasionally share my favorites with you. When I'm picking books I have to love the art as much as the story.

The Spider and the Fly based on the tale by Mary Howitt and art done by Tony DiTerlizzi (he did the art for Holly Black's Spiderwick Chronicles). I love this book!!!!! Not only is the tale dark and timeless but the art is done in charcoals which completely add to the the setting of the story. The thing I love about it is even though it's in black and white I can picture the colors in my minds eye.

I searched my nieces book shelf yesterday and found this little tickler. Tuesday by David Wiesner is hysterically funny! There are a total of 9 words (some of them are actually just numbers) in the entire book. The pictures tell the story of one evening when frogs could fly on lilly pads. I love it!!!

I took that Excedrin at 5pm and I didn't fall asleep till 2am last night.

So while I was pregnant I was on a crusade to stay hydrated. Thus, I haven't had much caffeine the last 10 months. Yesterday and today I had severe headaches, the which I haven't had in quite some time. I finally took some Excedrin which has caffeine in it and I am BUZZED OUT OF MY MIND!!!! I feel like I could clean my car with Qtips or talk for several hours strait without stopping.

Yumminess: Emily had us try corn on the cob with lime juice and chili powder and it was lovely. A clean fresh flavor always goes over well with me.

Other stuff: Ruth all the sudden got really fat. Almost over night.

So we're in South Bend Indiana visiting family right now and fun fun stuff happened at church today. I forgot the Soothie (Ruth's binky) so needless to say she had a melt down right at the end of sacrament meeting. Not knowing what else to do I decided to feed her a little early. Later I was changing her diaper for the second time in an hour and she literally peed all over my shirt, skirt and counter. About 10 minutes later she spit-up I swear at least 2 oz in the middle of my white shirt. So awesome. At that point I turned to my sis-in-law Emily and was just like, "Are you sure you don't want to leave now?"

......while I was Blogging about this Ruth spit-up all over Mike and all over Emily's couch. More awesomeness.

Other cool things: I took a 3 1/2 hour nap today. So wonderful. We have also managed to eat 11 pounds of blueberries in 3 days:) We're going to go pick some more berries on Tuesday.

Nap Time with Daddy. I promise she has hair on top of her head. It just doesn't photograph.

Ruth's first trip to the Beach. The temp. was so nice at the Beach but the sand stuck to her face like she was covered in glue. Rinsing her face off in the bathroom was a little traumatizing for both of us. That's Brian Stock "B" in the back. And that's my huge white face in front.

Brian and Mike went to walk on the peer but didn't cause you had to pay. Lame!!

Here's some pretty sweet songs and routines from Episode 14 season 7 of So You Think You Can Dance. You may recognize the songs but they're knew to me.

Jar of Hearts by Christina Perri-Amanda if you haven't heard this yet I know you will love it. It's a broken heart ballad. I'm a sap and love those kinds of songs.

This is one of the coolest Hip Hop routines I've ever seen. Alex, the guy in red, is a Ballet dancer and this is his first time doing hip hop. Alex and Twitch

Cosmic Love by Florence and The Machine. Good song.
