1. The truth is... I haven't done a Tuesday truth in about a month. It's pathetic. That and I'm so far behind on posting it's not even funny. I'm trying to catch up before the baby arrives (whenever that will be.)
2. The truth is... We had what is called sewer root. It's when the roots of a tree get into the sewer pipes. It was totally crazy. Apparently it is very common, but I had never heard of it before. Josh took pictures, I'll post them when I can catch up to that point. Yes, it was very costly to get fixed. Hopefully we get a large enough tax return to pay for that and the baby's arrival.
3. The truth is... Tori and jack Jack like to use my belly as a stepping stool to get to something they want. For Jack Jack it's normally to give me kisses on the face, for Tori it is to get something she shouldn't be getting (or to just get taller).
4. The truth is... Tori is almost 15 months old and she is still not walking. She is getting brave and has taken 5 steps but let's face it, she's lazy and can move faster crawling. I just want her walking by the end of March.
5. The truth is... Tori is officially off of bottles. I was worried that it would never happen. She has been on milk for awhile but she didn't want to let go of the bottles. One day I tired a sippy cup for milk and she took it. We have not looked back since. (Yes, I was worried about the bottle situation with Tori and the baby, which makes me thankful she finally gave up bottles.)

Quick update
We have been doing.... okay in our house. I know I haven't posted a lot lately and I'm a little ashamed of it. I'm hoping to get caught up by the end of the month. We will see what happens. Tori and I have been off an on sick since the middle of January. Josh and I cannot figure out how he has managed to escape everything. It's probably because he is rarely home and if he is, he is most likely on the computer.
The pregnancy is going well. I'm doing great, just ready to be done. As of this post, I have 7 weeks left. The baby has been pushing on my ribs a lot making life uncomfortable. It's getting harder to chase Tori around the house.
Tori is still not walking, but she is starting to figure it out. Let's just hope she does soon, she is WAY to big to carry. I have to start putting on some 24 month shirts because she is so tall. 18 month pants should last until it starts warming up, but barely. We have been to several doctors to see if we can figure out what is going on with our "sweet" girl. She has to do breathing treatments WAY too often. Those visits are a whole post by itself. I'll include that is my catch up, don't worry.
Josh is, of course, busy with school and work. We don't get to see him often which results in Tori saying "dada" a lot. I feel bad she doesn't see him too often, however, he's doing what he needs to do to support us so I try not to get upset.
I've been busy trying to get the house ready for baby and take care of a sick me and Tori. Life has been crazy, hence the lack of posts. I really want to get caught up, but we will see what actually happens!

Random Cute Pictures
Here are some random pictures that I took of Tori throughout the month of December. I love them. Notice her tongue in most of them. I think that she appreciates the fact that her tongue was clipped at such an early age.

| This is the first time she rode forward facing in her car seat. She was so pleased with herself. |

Christmas 2012
I know, it has been 2 months since Christmas and I'm barely posting. My goal is to be updated within the next week or so. Hopefully I will be given some computer time and I'll actually feel like writing. Yeah, I haven't felt like posting much lately. I also need to get the pictures we have taken off of our camera so I can post them. Anyway, back to Christmas.
Christmas was great this year. Tori knew exactly how to open her presents. We kept them under the tree and she only tried to open them once. After being told "no" she waited until Christmas day. She would still play and look at them, but didn't try to open them up. It was really cute. She enjoyed pulling ornaments off the tree as well. Santa came for our sweet girl and left her a lot of toys that she was really excited about. She loves the pink horse, although she isn't positive on how to use it yet. She can get on and off herself now, which kind of scares me, but she loves her horse. Tori woke up really early Christmas morning and we looked at stockings and her Santa gifts after we ate a little bit of food. After getting dressed we opened up the rest of the presents and Tori was already wiped out! She took a nap, which made us late to my the Pratt family Christmas. We arrived just in time to open presents there, which meant we had to open presents as we ate breakfast. After that we went back to my parent's house and opened presents. Christmas was not the same there because my two oldest sisters were not there. It was still fun, but I am hoping that next year they will both be able to come. I think that the best present I got all day was my new camera. It is awesome and I love it! I think Tori's favorite present was the shape-sorter/drum that my parents gave her. She is learning how to put the shapes in and take them out, its so cute! Anyway, after opening presents Josh took Tori home and allowed me to stay at my parents to hang out. It was nice to not have to worry about Tori and enjoy time with my family, although I was a little jealous because she took a 2 1/2 hour nap that afternoon. She never does that for me. Josh and Tori did come back later that night for dinner, and then we enjoyed the night together as a small family of three. It was great, and it's hard to believe that next Christmas there will be four of us!
