"I fought my mom and my mom won", sang Brogan.

"Look, Mama! Santa brought me a big fat crayon!!! "I think I shall mark myself with it!"

Mama didn't realize Santa brought her a blue MARKER, so she kindly tried to take it from her. A tug-of-war ensued.

Brogan did not win said tug-of-war and as you can see, she pouted about it!

Brogan is a STAR!

Our baby girl is ALL.GROWED.UP!

I cannot believe Christmas is TUESDAY! Where has the time gone, you guys? WHERE?! So, I don't have a new pics of Bebe to update today, but rest assured there will be a TON next week!
Plus, I need to post pics of her "big girl" toddler bed. Oh yea. Baby girl + crib? No longer = a peaceful night's slumber. Not.at.all. She's now sleeping in a toddler bed. OK, well it's actually a toddler bed mattress on the floor, but still - IT'S NOT A CRIB!

Our baby girl is growing up so fast.......

oh and she also gets to meet Santa Claus tomorrow at MP's office party! I'm pretty stoked about it........

Merry Christmas!

Back in October, she was hospitalized with "the Shigella". After 4 days with IV fluids, she was good as new. The photos below of the "bunny ears" and the "yellow flowers" were actually taken the day we got home from the hospital.

No, I did not put these ears on her. She did it herself. Seriously.

PRECIOUS!

Could she be any sweeter? I THINK NOT!

Sorry about my unexcused absences, my friends. Rest assured we are all doing great! I had to post some current pics of sweet little Brogan (aka The OTHER WOMAN of Elias!) Above, is the sweet angel photo we used for our Christmas cards!

ok, I gotta go. Pat Benetar just came on the radio with her greatest hit "Love is a Battlefield". I must dance. HEARTACHE TO HEARTACHE WE STAND!!!!! WE ARE STOOONG!

I bites people when I'm angry!!!

Hi. My name is Christy and my child’s a biter.

Hi. My name is Christy and my child’s a biter.

So, yea…Bebe is a biter. Or rather, I should say she’s a “Daycare Biter” because she’s never bitten us and she’s never bitten or even attempted to bite nieces, nephews, us or the cat. NEVER! In fact, if she hadn’t been sent home with 12 (count them) biting reports from daycare, I never would have believed it. But unfortunately it’s true and I feel so bad. What do you do though? She’s not malicious, she’s 1! I can’t send her to daycare in the morning and say, “Now, Bebe, remember we don’t bite, okay?” and actually expect her to know what in the heck I am saying! Yesterday, some thug 1 year old from daycare stole Bebe’s blankie (of UTMOST importance) from her and ran off with it. Well, Bebe chased him down, bit him until he cried, recovered said blankie, and walked off like nothing happened! She has bitten just about every kid in her room and I can’t stop her! I will say that she’s not the only one though. They all bite each other, there are just 3 main biters and Bebe is apparently the gang leader. I do feel better that she’s not just biting randomly though - I have noticed that every incident report indicates that she was provoked. Like, last week some kid pushed her off a riding toy, so she bit him. One kid stuck his hand in Bee’s face, so she bit it. And one poor child took Bebe’s Cheeto’s at lunch so she bit THAT little girl TWICE on the arm. It’s so bad that Bebe and the other 2 biters are QUARANTINED at breakfast, lunch, and snack times and they sit at a table by themselves, with a chair in between each of them so THEY don’t bite each other! I don’t want her to keep biting every time someone takes her toy, blankie or snack! Hmmm, come to think about it, I’m thinking we need to maybe work a little harder on sharing.

*Note: I feel I need to re-iterate the importance of her blankie. She does not function without her blankie. In fact, she has 7 blankies. MP and I each keep one in our trucks. She has 2 at daycare, 2 at home and 1 at my parent’s house. She has to have a specific type blankie that’s chenille on one side and silky on the other. No other blankie will do. We have mistakenly forgotten her blanket at daycare exactly 1 time. They actually called and said, “Please, for the love of all things pure and holy, BRING BACK HER BLANKET!” Ok, it wasn’t actually that dramatic, but they tell me that she screamed ALL.DAY.LONG for her blankie so they had to “loan” her Claudia’s blankie, because Claudia was out that day. They even sent home a reminder note to bring it back! So, on Tuesday of this week, guess what happened? Bebe’s blanket got left in my truck. At approximately 10:00 AM, MP called and freaked out! “We forgot Bee’s blankie in the TRUCK!” Know what happened next? I left work, drove home to retrieve a blankie, hand-delivered it to her room and got in there just in time for her 11:00am nap. Yea, it was 111 degrees outside and I LEFT WORK and drove 30 miles roundtrip just so her Highness could nap comfortably. What is wrong with that picture?

Bebe at the Beach

So, this weekend we took Bebe to the beach for the very first time! Where are the pictures? you ask. Well, they would be non-existent as Mama forgot her camera. I know- I feel terrible. I also forgot her swimsuit, but that's neither here nor there because when you're 15 months old you can get away with wearing a polka-dotted hat, water shoes and a swim diaper. Note to self; not so cute when you're pushing 30! ha! Just trust me when I say she was so stinkin' cute I couldn't take it any more! She didn't really care about the sand, but man how she loved the water. MP and I took turns holding her and she splashed and splashed and splashed some more! We stayed for about 2 1/2 hours, came back to the house in which we stayed (Thanks again, sweet friend- you know who you are!~) , bathed and she slept for 4 hours! I could not pass up such an opportunity to hit the outlet mall child free, so that's exactly what I did and it was AWESOME! Deals were scored and fun was had by all. I am really looking forward to going back ASAP!

Updated Pictures

Mama LOVES her Nugget! And Nugget LOVES her plastic kitchen food!

Hobo BABY!

WHAT?!

She LOVES her zebra! Oh, and her blankie. She won't go anywhere without it!

Seriously, could she be any more precious?!?!

So...

Things have been crazy and hectic, but I have finally pulled myself away from MySpace long enough to update THIS blog. Plus, Jamie O sent an requesting that we do so! :) So, here goes:

We are all great! Bebe is 15 months old now and has quite a little diva-like persona about her. She's very independent, that one. We are having so much fun with her and I love every minute of motherhood! I'll post pics later, but just wanted to drop in and say, "Hi!"

Our first blog

Since this is our very first blog ever, I'd thought I'd take a minute to introduce you all the cast of "The Puckett Family", featuring Marty & Christy Puckett as "Mama and Dada".






The role of "lazy cat", will be played by Macy Gray Cat.

Playing the parts of the lovable, furry lab children are Woodrow, Annabelle (left to right) and Tallulah Bleu (no photo available-her agent could not be reached)

And featuring the star of the show.....Ms. Brogan Elyse Puckett "aka Nugget or Bee"

Marty and I have been married almost 6 years now (woo-hoo 6/16!). We have had nothing but a wonderful marriage! God has truly blessed us with the best family and friends anyone could ask for. Until May 2, 2006, Woodrow (10yrs - he came with Marty!), Annabelle (5yrs), Gray Cat (4yrs) and Tallulah Bleu (2yrs) had been our "little furry family". Ms. Brogan Elyse made her debut @ 4:28 pm that day and our lives have been forever changed! That little girl is a gift from the Lord. She has her Mama's blue eyes and her daddy wrapped around her tiny finger.
