Holy Moly.

How cute are these munchkins?!? 

Cute. but stinky. as in stinkers. 

seriously, these stinkers are kicking my butt as a mother these days. 

So much so that I have, on multiple occasions, mentioned that these two girls may be our only children.

If it weren't for the fact that I LOVE babies, LOVE being pregnant, and LOVE having newborns, 

I might actually be serious about that statement.

When I first found out I was pregnant with Hattie and that she was a girl I was THRILLED and immediately started dreaming of the relationship that these girls would share. Obviously my sweet Cedar sis was on my mind and I couldn't help be so excited for Hazyl to have a little bestie just like me and Ceds...I better keep praying. haha because while these girls do LOVE each other and do play well together for the most part, HOLY COW can they push each others buttons so quickly! Mostly Hattie pushing Hazyl's. And man she is GOOD at button pushing. I think it helps that Hazyl might be the most emotional little girl in the world ;) 

Hazyl hit the Terrible part of the "terrible two's" sort of late. Does that mean she will be a terrible three as well? (please say no) 

Speaking of "no"....she remembers how much she LOVES that word. she is constantly saying "NO" in the sassiest little voice possible, and do you know what I say back to her? "ummm no, you don't say that to me" hmmm.....I think I need a better comeback. because clearly that word needs a break in the Harding house. 

And Hattie J. aka the Hattie Monster. aka Hurricane Hattie. 

Sheesh she is cute. But holy smokes she can be naughty. She on the other hand deserves to have the word "no" spoken to her quite often and do you know what I say? nothing. literally. Because she is so stinkin cute and funny that most of the time I am turned the other way trying to hide the fact that I am laughing at her naughtiness. It's those navy blue eyes. They'll get you every time.

That little stink could get away with murder. 

Advice? words of wisdom? encouragement for this mother drowning in little stinkers? 

Because although I may have one *hopefully* heading out of her terrible two's...I have one very quickly heading into them. Pray for me. mmmkay?

On a plus side my sweet Mother-in-Law is coming to save our sanity for a night while we head to Park city for a little Baby-Less time! Wahoo!!! Have I mentioned that Hattie STILL thinks she is a newborn in the sleep department? You better believe that we will be sleeping in.

Which also means that sadly Tammy will not be so lucky. ;)
