Tuesdays are always so busy for Mommy and me. We start off with my toddler class in the am, squeeze in lunch and then are straight off to Mommy's class (I usually nap for most of it.) Then, we go home for awhile and play and later Mommy goes back to work to teach a class that night. Here are some pictures of me today.
I sure do love my Daddy. Here I am giving him kisses on command.
He also built me a fort tonight. It was fun!!
Snack time
I like to try to pick up anything and everything. I tried to pick up a pumpkin that weighed more than me at Emma Krumbees. This one is more like my size.
Today Mommy and I don't have anything going on. So, we spent a good part of the morning in our jammies just hanging out. Here I am with no less than 6 burp cloths. Mommy says I'm attached to burp cloths like she was to her blankie. She also said she's thankful I'm attached to something that can be so easily replaced when they're wore out.
Then, Mommy put a ponytail in my hair for the first time. She didn't like the way it changed my baby looks so she took it out. She also changed my clothes afterwards too, but that's a story for another day.
Just as Mommy was about to hop in the shower our old neighbor showed up. He's a contractor and is going to be finishing our basement for us. Mommy is SUPER excited about this project and can't wait for them to get started. Hopefully, they will be starting work next week and it will be done by the first weekend in November. I secretly think Mommy just can't wait to plan the office since Daddy has his own office at work now. Look out Daddy, Mama's taking over and sending your Navy stuff packing....
Cutest couple of things happened today...
1st- I was brushing my teeth in the bathroom this AM and Lauren was playing on the floor per usual. I said to her, "Lauren should we brush your teeth?" She smiled and put her index finger in her mouth and moved it back and forth like she was brushing her teeth. She did the same thing during her bath tonight.
2nd- She was playing with her favorite musical book and it was singing rock-a-bye-baby (a song I sing to her and show her how to rock her own baby with.) and she started rocking back and forth when she heard it. OMG it was so precious!
Gotta love our smartypants!
Mommy says that I have Crab-itis. I haven't been feeling the greatest. A woman that mommy works with brought her sick kids to work with her yesterday. Mommy was very very angry and worried that I would get it. Well guess what, now I have a runny nose and mommy is even angrier. I've also been up a few times at night. Here's a few pictures of me that show how I feel today.
Mommy and Daddy had to lector at Church this morning. I got to wear a brand new dress too. It was so pretty with little sheep on it. Even my socks and blanket matched my dress with little sheep on them too. Mommy loves to get me all dressed up. We spent the day playing inside and out. It was a fun day. Here are some pictures.
Our basement won't look like this for much longer, it will hopefully be finished in a couple of months.
Here's a picture of me looking at something on the TV, Mommy put an end to that pretty quickly though.
There's dirt beside the house because Mommy shared her Irises with Phil & Janet (our neighbors) They're going to have a baby next year. Mommy is excited for me to have some playmates in the neighborhood in a year or two.
My first sidewalk chalk artwork
Mommy & Daddy made a bunch of cookies for some special people. Here's a plate that they gave to Phil & Janet in celebration of their pregnancy.
Today I had a couple more visitors come to see me (Mommy & Daddy too I suppose.) Auntie Jen & Uncle Craig came down from the Twin Cities to see me. We had a lot of fun playing and went out for lunch together. Here are some pictures from our day.
When I first woke up from my nap.
With Auntie Jen. She was reading me one of my favorite books.
Uncle Craig was a lot of fun. He liked to make silly faces at me. I'm just about to poke him here.
On my new trike. I love that thing, it's so much fun and just right for me.
Here I am having a hard time deciding if I want to be on the couch or the ground. I do that about 10 times a day.
This morning Mommy had a staff meeting so Daddy stayed home with me to feed me my breakfast. He made a delicious pancake and I had some raisins and milk too. It was pretty good, but I wanted something different. Something new and exciting. So Daddy decided to let me have some peanut butter toast.
Normally Mommy doesn't want to let me have a big piece of toast with peanut butter on it because I like to swallow large wads of food without swallowing and she is worried that I will choke. But Daddy says that when Mommy isn't home we do things a little bit differently. So he made up the toast, put the peanut butter on it, and gave me a small piece. Oh my gosh it was delicious. And I know that Daddy was worried that I wasn't going to chew it properly, so I did something for him that I've never done before. I used my new front teeth to take a bite of my food instead of shoving the whole thing in my mouth. I took three or four dainty bites of the food, and I savored the flavor of the peanut butter.
Speaking of teeth, I've got more of them coming in. Mommy and Daddy have been wondering all week long why I've been so cranky. But yesterday I let Mommy get a good look in my mouth and she found out that I have two more of my front teeth coming in, and I've got a molar that has broken through also. I'm glad she found that because now they are giving me a lot more Oragel and I get a dose of baby Tylenol at night to help me sleep. That really seems to help, but I still woke up three times last night.
This morning Mommy and I went for a walk with Anna and Elliot. Can you believe what Mommy put over my clothes before we could go for our walk?
I think I look silly, but Mommy says that I look cute, so I guess I have to believe her.
