Daddy vs. CJ
Tonight Daddy and CJ did not click. We were like black and white, hot and cold, fast and slow, and so many more opposites. CJ did not allow me a free moment. She stayed right on my leg the entire evening. Daddy is concerned about how CJ listens.

GOoooooooooooooooooooo!!!
CJ's favorite word to say these days seems to be, "Go!" She will say it in the car, at the babysitter, in church, while walking, while laying down and tonight she did so while watching wrestling after her shower. Daddy was laughing hysterically as she yelled Go, Go, Go as the wrestlers battled it out in the ring. She even peaked Mommy's interest when she let out an appropriate Oh' when one was kicked in the face. Daddy never knew that she enjoyed wrestling so much. I wonder if she thought it was football? In any event she was very much interested in what was on television and did not want to move from it.
CJ made Daddy's night once again. Once she had calmed down from the excitement of watching wrestling Mommy attempted to take her int he bedroom to get her ready for bed. As she turned away CJ looked back and said, "Nooooo!" She then reached her hands out for me and leaned over to try and get closer to me. of course I took her from Mommy and held her for a little while longer. CJ is my Princess and if she needed a little royal treatment her Daddy was going to give it to her.
Now she is going through her nightly routine of fighting her sleep. Hopefully she will soon grow out of that habit. As for now keep praying folks, we know if we pray things, people, and situations will change!

She Heard The Whole Sermon
Church and CJ do not always click. CJ likes to sing longer than the choir, pray longer than the deacon, and preach longer than the preacher. If she is not getting loud she usually needs to eat, therefore she prevents Mommy from hearing most of the sermon. This morning when we left the house Daddy made a deal with CJ. he told her that if she was quiet during the sermon that her Mommy would buy her something. Now I know it should have been me but why should I set myself up when Mommy would be a willing participant.
At the end of church I remembered CJ was there because I saw her. She behaved well today and I did not hear her at all. I just asked for the sermon and I got so much more. So I guess Mommy has to go out to buy her something nice. She has to be a woman of Daddy's word.
It will be only a matter of time before she learns how to conduct herself in church. She enjoys the music we know and if worship is going on around her CJ is down. She practices all throughout the week. Daddy and CJ will offer up some praise just because at any moment during the week. So CJ knows, Amen, Praise Him, and Hallelujah! Get with us or get left back.
As Sunday is a day full of it, please remember to pray. Not only is there power in prayer, but it changes things, people, and situations!

Can't Keep Up
For the past few days one would think that I have simply forgotten my blogs. That would be untrue. As I laid with CJ as she drifted off to sleep I wondered what was up? Then it came to me, when I am home with CJ I have so much fun I get worn out. Then I lay down and the next things I know a new day is upon me. When I do think to blog it is usually in the middle of a turn or bathroom run and then I sit down to jot something quick and then forget to return the next day. I do not want you to think I have forgotten but this sleep has been doing the trick recently and the more I get the more I want.
Today was winter picture time. So CJ got all dolled up and off to the photographer, (personal that is) we went. The first attempt at a picture was negative. CJ wanted to eat and play before she smiled for the camera. So we allowed her to do just that and then Daddy noticed she put her head down. Daddy said, "If we are doing this picture we might want to proceed now because the thumb is in her mouth and she is laying her head down." So we went in the studio and prepared her for the picture. This time Daddy stayed in the room and pulled out his camera to trick her into smiling. CJ did not disappoint us either. She smiled, giggled, laughed, yelled, posed and did anything else she wanted to do while all we wanted was a good picture to send people for Christmas.
CJ#2 also had the opportunity to play with CJ#1 today. It is always so nice to see them play so well together. They have both grown so fast and they interact like two peas in a pod. So all in all it was a great day. We even had the opportunity to go dine as a family tonight. All CJ wanted was fries and Daddy's ice cream, lol. Mommy was not pleased and CJ knew it. When I gave her some she turned to Mommy and gave her a huge sly smile. I did make her eat her vegetables first at least!
Mommy said she does not know who to feel sorry for, CJ or Daddy? She should just join you all and pray for us both. We know that prayer changes things, people, and situations.
NOTE TO CJ: Before you eat dessert remember to always eat your vegetables. Vegetables help make you intelligent, healthy and strong!

The Day After the Feast
The day after Thanksgiving is always rough. You are still sluggish and the belly is still satisfied. All you want to do is sleep. Well Daddy wanted too, and CJ did just that. She slept until even Mommy was awake and up. Will fill you in with more later.

Two A Days
OK, I realize I have a bit to fill you in on. Last night I do not know what happened. I planned to blog but I guess the bed beat me up. I laid down and the next thing I knew it was time to drive Mommy into work. So I will begin with the highlights from yesterday.
So yesterday CJ made her first trip into Daddy's office. Daddy planned his vacation and forgot that he had invited a group down to tour the campus. So the day finally came where Daddy could waste a trip down to Trenton and bring CJ along for the ride. The office has wanted to see her since she was born but the time never presented itself, so when I walked in the office and got her out of the stroller the tour began. You must bring them to the ladies in the back first. They have all the life long lessons, experience, and if you did not they would not let you hear the end of it. After she spoke with them and smiled a whole lot it was time to meet the boss. CJ did not have to wait to long because she was coming out to get her. She really loves kids and by her getting down to CJ's level and chasing her around the office you could tell. The co-workers were cool too, she had to warm up to the guys and she even managed to spill one of their coffee's all over the place.
Phase two of her day at TCNJ was having to sit through a presentation by her Daddy. Now we all know that CJ has had to sit though her Daddy addressing people before but this time was different. During the entire presentation you would not have known that CJ was in the room. When he is preaching CJ is heard but yesterday she sat still and quietly until her Daddy completed what he had to do. Daddy was so impressed that he asked the audience to give his baby girl a round of applause for behaving so well.
After the presentation Daddy sent out a text to all of CJ's sisters to come quickly if they wanted to see her. All of them came except one who had already left for the holiday weekend. I grilled them all because it took Daddy bringing in CJ to see all of his kids at one time together. CJ enjoyed their company and vice versa. It was cooling seeing them with her. I reminded them all that they have a good 10 to 15 years before they can even think of having one.
So after she met her siblings the day at TCNJ was pretty much over. We went back up and said our goodbyes, then it was off to pick Mommy up from work. It was a great day then it was on to the next.
Today I want to send CJ to the moon. It all started when the electricity had to be turned off to be repaired. they said the job would take 1/2 hour but it ended up taking two full hours. You try keeping CJ entertained with no computer, no television, no hot food, and nowhere to go. She did not want to sit and listen to me read, although I did manage to get a quick book in.
We fought a bit today too. CJ has a problem that she needs to fix. She need to not have Daddy repeat himself. She could be doing something that could hurt her, Daddy will ask her to stop and she will look at him and keep doing what she was doing. It is becoming to get frustrating but I am trying to develop patience as she continues to explore.
That about wraps the past two days up in a nutshell. Tomorrow is turkey day! You all keep praying for us, CJ and I will go through ups and downs but they will all make us stronger. Besides, we know that prayer changes things, people, and situations.
