Molly & Elliot: He's a Big Boy!

Lucas has been improving by the hour! Yesterday he was moved to a less critical unit of the NICU. He is maintaining his body temperature and had his arterial catheter that was in his belly button removed. Since he no longer needs the heating lamp he was a big boy all wrapped up in his blankie. He even had a little shirt and a hat! This morning we found out that he has been taken off all oxygen and will be ready to take a bottle sometime today!

"I'm being a lazy potato"

"I wonder if I'm famous..."

"Mom today was not my lucky day!"
"Why do you say that?"
"Cuz a bird pooped on my shoulder."

While waiting for "Wicked" to start Jaycie was dangerously close to the balcony railing. Me: "Honey don't mess around or you'll fall down there & die." Her: "I know, I know, but which row would I land on?"

When deciding where to go for our date together, "Let's go someplace romantic Mom."

Before biting into a granola bar, "Mom, how much fiber is in this?"

While driving in the car she asked, "Mom, when will I get my first armpit hair?"

"Mom, you're stressed."
"I'm not stressed. Why do you say that?"
"Cuz you're breathing alot!"

Jaycie really likes to help with #1 diapers & I handle the #2's. While I began to tackle a #2 she asked "Mom, can I do that one?" "No honey, it's a poopy one." "Well, how much poop, like a quarter of an inch?"

Me: Jaycie I should teach you how to cook some stuff.
Jaycie: No thanks Mom, I'll just read the boxes when I'm old. You know, make easy stuff.

Me: "What did you have for lunch today?"
Jaycie: "Stuffed Up Pizza." (Stuffed Crust Pizza)

"That is total drama!"

"Mom we should try to stick our feet in like one of those little baby pools filled with water. I think that would be really refreshing."

After I dressed Lucas in a shirt that said "Gone Fishin" Jaycie asked, "Mom, is he actually GOING FISHING?"

"What's the worst that could happen?"

When asked how she felt about her new baby brother: "I kinda wish he was a puppy."

Guess we're gonna have to do this the old fashioned way!

While (not so patiently) waiting for dinner: "Mom I NEED dinner to live!"

Glittering is bad, right Mom?
(Me) I don't know honey, what is glittering?
You know, when people throw junk & stuft all over the ground. (Me) Oh yes, glittering is very bad!

Mom, can I pay my tithing with Peter Piper tokens?

While waiting in line for a slide at Waterworld: "I think my heart is trying to tell me I'm afraid so I won't go."

"A tooth ache is like a stomach ache with your tooth!"

"Can't you feel my heart beeping?"

While making dinner: "Mom do we have any of that popping spider (sparkling cider) stuff?"

"Zach throws me so high I can see Chelsea (Grandma's dog) up in Heaven!"

"You're getting on my nerds (nerves)."

"My limbs need a rest."

"How refreshing!"

"What the hack!"

"Don't worry, I got it all under control."

"I know I can't be dreaming!"

"That smells like old mushroom soup."

"I'm just a big cutie!"

"My name should be Sparagus, cause I love it (asparagus) so much."

"I wish I could rewind the whole planet 8 days back to when Kennedi (her El Paso cousin) was here."

When asked how she got so smart... "I just have a good brain, Mom."

"That's clever!"

"Mom, we should get a motorcycle like that for our whole family."
(Me) "Jaycie, those cost a lot of money."
"Doesn't matter. You can use your savings account."

(During her prayer) "Please bless the whole planet, even the ones in outer space."
