The weather has been wonderful! Yesterday we spent time with Grandma, my aunt E and cousins. It was a fantastic day. It was also our fourth wedding anniversary and E was so sweet to remember our anniversary. She got us a cake and beautiful gift. We enjoyed ice cream and Pierogies for dinner. Here are some pictures from our day - this house is full of so many memories for the whole family.</div><div><br /></div><div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZNXRCK_5cB0fFmMA_LKRCidpvs-OTsmtbi50NSBlYEbP1ag5tKhmXx-0mE5D5cW3eHB5o7mi1zirY_iyMXigS_str8tHo230kDmo94DsAL_4-sesRr69qRLeb67KEhVM5j7Fa-F_xKr98/s400/4th+anniversary.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477062501179296130" style="float: left;

What a <i>fantastic</i> idea - S loved it. She completely ignored the swings and the playground as she scooted over to the water park. She was timid for approximately two seconds, but before I knew it she was dousing her head in the water. This is coming from the kid who hates to have her hair rinsed in the bathtub because she gets water in her eyes. I couldn't believe it.<br /><br /><br />The first two pictures are with my Rebel, but I got tired of lugging it around so the rest are from my iPhone. Quality isn't the best but to me they are priceless pictures.<br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476136207127838946" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 324px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPH5eOM9uXTv3UEC0qBlHSzd-UPVUH0A0L2lSurAGNnmwyVTkzshuXEPIEDnimg1bVxUGrKhVHyP-4MVUes24P57ogzMkylbuMtE73A10SnFf_8sXGkmA9RiMc7LL1TwlXopGlHAt7x6UR/s400/water2.JPG" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476136197814593778" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 316px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge7I2lKX2ajXEWHJeKk56WZ7UIOoZUdZFw6ZAzjRnATi_gFIy8UywR1SS1ZAmH5YWyotprvDjf-q-Vccc1c0BqP2ex3PVyUvnTU0g6IEePZynDyehyphenhyphenS9qxnwPdCJFvNaHCvxejBOWMozsV/s400/water1.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476130190948090082" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeGG6xezFwHSZE6QcTkUCWnbsyBlHvAAQY-Yopt4pKLy_T8YbkutdW5QpAPxrbPyIxv5kOQrkTdXYHYWd671DaNDIe9gCR6V1Y-XyYLal83JioFo_6bIeRKc9q-GkhjI6mhnE6bb3Ll-2k/s400/IMG_0421.JPG" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476131674018509970" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkbGcsVvHSp6KPkXm5KEpLoBVl7F1nutFG5flRi9CVISAxhr0pNy6UfKUWh5OKzPZgAK7PRtaBcMGnKMH6FI9vVPOuG8unHPUrizsc37fd17q6rfXStWHvHkUyEyg30qHY8Kax5SK3aZ5I/s400/IMG_0423.JPG" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAbilOzj6pZbQrxrlJLYUDOsrTeFGqwnuSfUENmL6VovCixI8uQwR1PhoxUs1eOPwOhMpL1Es7eXhq6zCq2nRqbhES_TUhuERLvbLqfZvnYi8-NsliBq0fNkT8JEeebsQKx7m8s1lnyMY7/s1600/IMG_0425.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476131051771212290" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAbilOzj6pZbQrxrlJLYUDOsrTeFGqwnuSfUENmL6VovCixI8uQwR1PhoxUs1eOPwOhMpL1Es7eXhq6zCq2nRqbhES_TUhuERLvbLqfZvnYi8-NsliBq0fNkT8JEeebsQKx7m8s1lnyMY7/s400/IMG_0425.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000ee;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="TEXT-DECORATION: underline"><br /></span></span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,238); webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476130212141161618" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7GLyAZxmtQyfuBUShb1a3785Hi6w9CCmP_6aJZVc7Zxxn-eEAwvy-Fn3Iqhw1V9RB2siQ4Nu9WPlg3zcUDGVECAWt8AYNKwIVN8mAHkUK2Wq2GTD4Lsynfob39PJAsaXuMEIZ3p4RWeEc/s400/IMG_0424.JPG" border="0" /></span></div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476131073251627202" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqSjk1NLs4-DRDD00SSRcUf-cwjuNBgVsHSxDI9EGFdnT-HIcvnGZ_9nfuFjxNYMP7hrq3kYwVrFmHyME03GyQxBiOx8Hb97OrRLjGXLL_D86G3_sgC7poitnY60k1aDgbTzMm0FS76Pbb/s400/IMG_0429.JPG" border="0" /></div><div><br /> </div></div><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxWXuFbtQ5ZdlJ_xrtizUHbO0D5ElG_xmozZs7G83ydnuzdiqitEDOnj6B-zlswRoOy7gKUH4kJ6gPOhKKayw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>A -http://www.blogger.com/profile/13155363608146295590noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3001459891175320842.post-82197729716605875202010-05-26T21:09:00.005-05:002010-05-26T21:18:40.746-05:00Teddy Bear TravelsR got S a mini Steiff Teddy Bear for her first birthday. He had soft fur and a kissable nose that S loved very much. Unfortunately, our dogs found him equally lovable and one day we noticed that "L.T." (Little Teddy) was wet with slobber and missing an eye and an ear. I was devastated. Z came to the rescue, scooping L.T. up and working valiantly to have L.T. repaired/find a replacement - all without much success. Apparently this Steiff model is no longer manufactured. <div><br /></div><div>Amazingly, Z found a shop in London, England that had a twin of L.T. in stock! Today we opened the mailbox to find a very special surprise... Little Teddy was perfectly wrapped in a little box that had come from across the Atlantic! HE IS PERFECT!</div><div><br /></div><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjx4XxrCtUZdUET57NRYFWAlEazh1dXJHd8joTKWp0_U6AGwtIe45-aI0REQFXfZV3TO1lR6AlFVd3PrXFWW2fIwVyttqNfDZ32gvlBpiuGIQgpHcVotg08FEuPcLkHL8HhkcdnSSiV_TC/s400/photo.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5475767686029684594" /><br /><div></div><div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><br /><div><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkTJBgcZByDsjYWEco_18NaGLwC6g_VG_gV5fwUa0I75CeNmz3iqDQj04JvIu3s1boqnyyn5Gu8JlnTaksAwFGDR8USrMAHZ-74Ue3iwS82WxL58x02RNGXQxsm0js1_DpOZMIVSFQ6JCJ/s400/photo+3.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5475767460053548226" /></div><div><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUyQB6f9C9sZhTN2pozV4Ep0heWLyc1wA1FWeUfNuUTuXR22k9OfdzAQNhUaYBQSXDeWvB_JOMCXYiokHUEclTVBERDmgJodfVuOheAtz16rZ5p-hJjIIaWOda0O1nOBhp2hRSO11msvC2/s400/photo+2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5475767458502470194" /></div></div>A -http://www.blogger.com/profile/13155363608146295590noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3001459891175320842.post-80075099693127671742010-05-25T19:45:00.003-05:002010-05-25T19:52:06.319-05:00Marilyn MonroeWhat happens when a certain determined 18 month old decides to climb on a grate that is blowing wind into the sky?<div><br /></div><div>You get a cute little homage to Marilyn Monroe. </div><div><br /></div><div><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWHgMYdgDbYPDro1UTbP4di7nIqG4c_2JzsFjrNT-256p8geA4P01UJRmFHjs7GrDdcq76OpIOmB8LQUQOsqHHiSZjJpcg1OrhP6VHnjl1_K3PAfa81gY7wnUfGlYnr3F7XIOoweUg6xQj/s400/photo.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5475375077512446882" /></div>A -http://www.blogger.com/profile/13155363608146295590noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3001459891175320842.post-25448377323381277892010-05-20T21:01:00.004-05:002010-05-26T21:22:27.241-05:0021 (+8)I turned 29 today. I have mixed feelings about this, but today was a wonderful, blessed day. The rain marathon here in VA finally stopped, the sun came out, the temperature came up and it was a fabulous day for grilling outdoors. My parents and sister, H, visited and we all enjoyed grilled salmon, cupcakes and wine on our deck. S chose not to eat any dinner (which seems to be an unfortunate habit of hers as of late), but she helped me blow out the candles on my cupcakes (fortunately there weren't 29 candles). <div><br /></div><div>And my birthday gift from R?</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 342px;" src="http://bindapple.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/the-new-apple-macbook-pro-cons.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I am in love.

It's been instrumental lately in calming down a fidgety girl while waiting for dinner at a restaurant.

Let me preface my next thought by saying that S insisted on wearing her fabulous, pink cowgirl boots this morning - so strut them she did. They are super cute - and very Texan - but they are still a bit big on her. Seeing as I'm always looking for an excuse to pull out my Luccheses and R wore his boots as well, it was a family affair.<br /><br />All of this leads me to the fact that after brunch R and I decided to take S to one of the parks in our city, which is usually uneventful. Once we got to the park this time, however, S was so excited to see the swings that she ran to the playground as fast as her little feet would carry her - and in a split second she had tripped over her boots and onto her hands and face, smack onto the pavement. She instantly had a bloody nose and a matching goose egg on her forehead which were quickly accompanied by cries (on S's part, and on mine as well). We abandoned the park and hurried home to check S out where I tried to be mom and not switch to doctor mode (<span style="font-style: italic;">does she need a CT scan? How about plain films?</span>) Needless to say we managed to survive and S seemed no worse for the wear. I washed her face, got out Boo Boo Buddy (ie, Lady Bug) from the freezer, and gave her some acetaminophen (generic as of late, what with the massive J&J recall... which is really topic for another post but alarming by the way).<br /><br />Anyway, we decided not to let the morning's mishap get in our way of having fun at the park. S slipped on some sneakers and we headed out to a different park for Take 2. Fortunately, we had an absolutely wonderful time. There were several squirrels playing in the grass and S spent some time squealing and trying to see where they were hiding up in the trees. She played with some dandelions, asking me to blow loose the seeds. She practiced climbing stairs and then ran like the wind through the grass field.<br /><br />The swings, slide and jungle gym were of course fun, but as a surprise we found out that the little water park had opened up as well! We were thoroughly unprepared to be soaking wet but S didn't seem to mind at all. The sun was blistering hot and the water felt great. S typically doesn't like water splashing on her so I was impressed that she had so much fun. Next time we'll bring swimsuits, shades and towels.<br /><br />Squirrel hunt<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPZQiEUCzb4Y4J3lyUhtIkGDpUZyR_0OtO9v9apUqKWRGUwGnCMUtHRupSYrDb57tvpObUTTlFUeSp494z0zaFg6Op07TZW1aD6PlPEnhYpgDL7FcfDY5ytYleZBsBF8IziEehEbi3Bqvr/s1600/belmont1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPZQiEUCzb4Y4J3lyUhtIkGDpUZyR_0OtO9v9apUqKWRGUwGnCMUtHRupSYrDb57tvpObUTTlFUeSp494z0zaFg6Op07TZW1aD6PlPEnhYpgDL7FcfDY5ytYleZBsBF8IziEehEbi3Bqvr/s400/belmont1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5471944500313397890" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Bonnet Babe<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJAUWTa4Rk8AE9v0T-VAoHW57oRJe2APDgWqPoxI8Nfg5Yz75bKuoBGYWQtl5FH2-Oxj1cEWG6T8O6NRJQM0PfEP6TXjgkyE0nfr-fH-wV6ng2XtHNcjkofe3TUH9O6ubRMB5JC7-uFUfb/s1600/belmont2.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJAUWTa4Rk8AE9v0T-VAoHW57oRJe2APDgWqPoxI8Nfg5Yz75bKuoBGYWQtl5FH2-Oxj1cEWG6T8O6NRJQM0PfEP6TXjgkyE0nfr-fH-wV6ng2XtHNcjkofe3TUH9O6ubRMB5JC7-uFUfb/s400/belmont2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5471944547471737858" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Underdog!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDok-ZJiakFF1GG4YhVs9crsHrR5PiqA8uaSKZu7rWGQSZNfULpOKB9aqYl2WHIVYTy01BSmH_w1Pg_04vxSnxn7RdM4cvBgOopurA8s4UN0xoy8rtxnrEvyjV9InMdCbFSxfiweQKF6vK/s1600/belmont4.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 290px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDok-ZJiakFF1GG4YhVs9crsHrR5PiqA8uaSKZu7rWGQSZNfULpOKB9aqYl2WHIVYTy01BSmH_w1Pg_04vxSnxn7RdM4cvBgOopurA8s4UN0xoy8rtxnrEvyjV9InMdCbFSxfiweQKF6vK/s400/belmont4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5471944651409752466" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Discovery...<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYHGBCzg3mExDl_o4szRrYjKpwgZX6lDHp0GbWtv40qO35udxRqCAyuIEBIG0-cMuVob8TXAVFO5EWpiSYQlFZ6zWgcs_NpOPxQ2pcVvyUwQwABbMzlFDWqKLhgiEzhvf475PcpyJ5DSdE/s1600/belmont3.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 291px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYHGBCzg3mExDl_o4szRrYjKpwgZX6lDHp0GbWtv40qO35udxRqCAyuIEBIG0-cMuVob8TXAVFO5EWpiSYQlFZ6zWgcs_NpOPxQ2pcVvyUwQwABbMzlFDWqKLhgiEzhvf475PcpyJ5DSdE/s400/belmont3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5471944600993985714" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Water, water everywhere!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJeHYulaka0TJyBXfrDPeeZFTGIpYnkkkSmNXGlpjSNE-GiHFA42CCU3Z1uNeWXym_G0r0_dtlE9qDc9jTrl6KSikh1hnKom6kt2oHWQlMyzq6_kelihsJ2pr9SP32KP6NBaDI4w-306Sv/s1600/belmont5.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 306px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJeHYulaka0TJyBXfrDPeeZFTGIpYnkkkSmNXGlpjSNE-GiHFA42CCU3Z1uNeWXym_G0r0_dtlE9qDc9jTrl6KSikh1hnKom6kt2oHWQlMyzq6_kelihsJ2pr9SP32KP6NBaDI4w-306Sv/s400/belmont5.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5471944709330468450" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Splish, splash<br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxzdCqOwGLaZYG3WK7dFjMgkAJPJcWd7aN1wTYpwnezn9K2v_XlgTo7IWUToaCAhQnFsTjL58nKFqap8QZ1OA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><br /><br />What better way to wrap up a trip to the park than with some Mandarin oranges?

Just ask my 1 1/2 year old daughter who nearly suffered a fainting spell because she hyperventilated when she first saw Elmo hit the stage. No, I'm serious. Her jaw dropped and her eyes nearly popped out of her pretty little head when the curtains drew and there was Big Bird, quickly followed by Elmo, right there in front of us. <span style="font-style: italic;">"Ahhhhhh oh my gosh, oh my gosh!"</span> All that I could do (and the people around us, for that matter) was laugh hysterically.<br /><br />The theme was "When Elmo Grows Up" with a supposed plot - who wants to be a forest ranger when they grow up, or a police officer, yadda yadda yadda - but mostly R and I took in S's expressions when she saw the characters dance to songs such as "I Love Trash" or when S couldn't believe that Dorothy, Elmo's goldfish, or Mr. Noodle, Elmo's sidekick, were <span style="font-style: italic;">really here</span>.<br /><br />The show was two 45 minute halves with a 15 minute intermission. I was shocked that S sat, mesmerized, for the whole first 45 minutes without revolting. We had to leave 1/2 through the second half because at that point S was overstimulated, dancing off the seat and onto the floor and nearly rolling in the cherry snow cone that I had R buy a little while earlier.<br /><br />The pictures that we took were technically terrible but absolutely memorable and altogether priceless. Camcorders weren't allowed so all we have are stills, but you get the gist. To see how happy it made S to see all of her friends up close and live made the show worth every single penny.<br /><br />Arriving at the arena.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOayo1HgV2tS2Qwn5jgNPDVhF0x4wTQXAr8kT6Es_5wgRyK-3hRypaIaAfwkWJzQ91I6oHxNrj3MXNCWDIkhue68dji1AZwakwvJ93NQW7izaf2i5HfMi9S_0HtbhU6_CWj-TXstQlio-J/s1600/arrival.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 296px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOayo1HgV2tS2Qwn5jgNPDVhF0x4wTQXAr8kT6Es_5wgRyK-3hRypaIaAfwkWJzQ91I6oHxNrj3MXNCWDIkhue68dji1AZwakwvJ93NQW7izaf2i5HfMi9S_0HtbhU6_CWj-TXstQlio-J/s400/arrival.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5471329714621283874" border="0" /></a><br /><br />S had some suspicion about what happened next because of the huge Sesame Street banner we saw outside.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEPcZ-pxrEgBWUPYvvUk1QSHGGfs_QgfUL-nqk8IFE1f7HT6z1V-r5IS5RElAEHAlAYC2_FYCkMjJYRl1-fxW1wYR6yhlwjRUVhFIrnPAfQZRcje4Gv5GRGettfS8u4bBZTLwg5qQKEj5e/s1600/mommy+pea.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 296px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEPcZ-pxrEgBWUPYvvUk1QSHGGfs_QgfUL-nqk8IFE1f7HT6z1V-r5IS5RElAEHAlAYC2_FYCkMjJYRl1-fxW1wYR6yhlwjRUVhFIrnPAfQZRcje4Gv5GRGettfS8u4bBZTLwg5qQKEj5e/s400/mommy+pea.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5471330110307110482" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Eyes glued to the stage.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFEMsRfx0hcOmocutSHl2Q8XLBLA4FSznuLSsdkiN3iSe1-3l5szjPr_nUbLVjB9eexWHVOwxkfitD4aTla86-6tgEO2TDbcf5vhKVbFZl4KZFPL0dxW6tHWCcwpzel0ItHu9IwMylC6qw/s1600/elmo.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 295px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFEMsRfx0hcOmocutSHl2Q8XLBLA4FSznuLSsdkiN3iSe1-3l5szjPr_nUbLVjB9eexWHVOwxkfitD4aTla86-6tgEO2TDbcf5vhKVbFZl4KZFPL0dxW6tHWCcwpzel0ItHu9IwMylC6qw/s400/elmo.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5471329782478965634" border="0" /></a><br /><br />This picture is the BEST.

S has taken things to a whole new level, however. She has adopted one of my Whole Foods totes as her new purse. A purse that she stuffs chock-full of <span style="font-style: italic;">very important things </span>such as diapers (girl's prepared, gotta give her that), a sippy cup of juice, mommy's headbands, a Lindt chocolate wrapper, Cheerios, Super Why, blocks and a book. Oh. And what's a purse without a Tickle Monster mitt?<br /><br />Monkey? Check. Purse? Check.<br />And yes, that is packing tape on the slide... don't judge... it's R's 34 year old Creative Playthings slide and S came close to falling under the railing a couple of times.

I couldn't possibly fill in everything that has been going on since the turn of the new year, but suffice it to say that S is constant entertainment - and enjoyment - around the clock. She turned 18 months yesterday but sometimes acts like a little girl twice her age. She is my <span id="profile_status"><span id="status_text">my monkey-hugging, adventure-seeking, always-laughing, curly-haired, pizza-loving, purse-toting, running, cuddling, swinging, sliding, sweet S!<br /><br />Her vocabulary is countless and she soaks up everything that she hears. She mimics what we say and then incorporates those words into conversation. Her favorite saying as of late have been "mess" (thank you for pointing out the dishes in the sink to Mommy, S), "outside please", "oh, Papa", "squirrels!", "oh, Pat" (her lovie), "up, please", "underdog", "all done", "I love you", "slide please", "that's mine", "brush please" (for toothbrush) "eee eee" and "neigh" (for monkey and horse, respectively), "pee pee" (when she has a dirty diaper... of any kind)... I could go on and on.<br /><br />She is quite the adventurer. Swings - the higher the better - hence "underdog". Thanks, R, for teaching her that one. Slides - the more slippery the better. Her favorite thing to do is run up and down the Downtown Mall, checking out every store and nook.<br /><br />Favorite foods: watermelon, pizza, grilled cheese, ice cream (with rainbow sprinkles, of course) mandarin oranges. She's pretty picky these days, and her weight has tumbled down the growth chart. She sits at about the 15-20th% for weight, weighing in around 22lb even.<br /><br />Here are some recent pictures.<br /><br />Z was visiting and we had a wonderful time with her! Here's a picture of S in the wheelbarrow while we were gardening outside...<br /></span></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAwjS6K3fQN39nUC9aCXEsPxudfXNHswzsMjWQeAvJrXpuWLZJDIp9B78uSEHs8rtmj6y1MlYXij4BreCAjVIZq3KZlXBFg1c-gRcuuWo5_P4JXlERAc4CwytHIV6OHpEw3BR6jaboDC8a/s1600/wheelbarrow.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 290px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAwjS6K3fQN39nUC9aCXEsPxudfXNHswzsMjWQeAvJrXpuWLZJDIp9B78uSEHs8rtmj6y1MlYXij4BreCAjVIZq3KZlXBFg1c-gRcuuWo5_P4JXlERAc4CwytHIV6OHpEw3BR6jaboDC8a/s400/wheelbarrow.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470829855389605202" border="0" /></a><br /><span id="profile_status"><span id="status_text"><br />Summer jammies<br /></span></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJXWbVsPwkB5WSdmqQodu61NC-hL_6Rug8u8Bl1jEwP0nud6BGlZ8SW5LE8Prxx8E8Yarzyhpu8axEnZvgJ5N9Xr-wbQbe2T6tUIplPpaNqf4nzvcnhrjFwIn77IyD4k6TwyEZPSnoy85d/s1600/summer+jammies.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 297px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJXWbVsPwkB5WSdmqQodu61NC-hL_6Rug8u8Bl1jEwP0nud6BGlZ8SW5LE8Prxx8E8Yarzyhpu8axEnZvgJ5N9Xr-wbQbe2T6tUIplPpaNqf4nzvcnhrjFwIn77IyD4k6TwyEZPSnoy85d/s400/summer+jammies.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470829569675125442" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Sharing cupcakes with Papa<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ9Itxz2we0_lDob1N6OT804pIp-13OGAs5JW6ymuZnZ4tskohZBmRcf37QXyOh7gY8TI0IygZijtih5sCsuLX59oPMJZFGu4pvKKpkpIbLMpDQK1aOBpg5Y8vIvvjTuaPGhbxGcmsO1V_/s1600/papa+pea+cupcake+2.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 328px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ9Itxz2we0_lDob1N6OT804pIp-13OGAs5JW6ymuZnZ4tskohZBmRcf37QXyOh7gY8TI0IygZijtih5sCsuLX59oPMJZFGu4pvKKpkpIbLMpDQK1aOBpg5Y8vIvvjTuaPGhbxGcmsO1V_/s400/papa+pea+cupcake+2.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470829709707462610" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb50PWIHxh_KiY3YiXi5v-Y93w1Zm3pDnBCprf9b10psjt42hddsZ7nBeqZSS3_raaBFyOe2KNqPfCDWmfwO7Z4Mu-zIl_RDv6vb3mokqqvQInlt1FzPxdMbb73ajGgN3gm3RtlRppuaST/s1600/yummy+window.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 314px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb50PWIHxh_KiY3YiXi5v-Y93w1Zm3pDnBCprf9b10psjt42hddsZ7nBeqZSS3_raaBFyOe2KNqPfCDWmfwO7Z4Mu-zIl_RDv6vb3mokqqvQInlt1FzPxdMbb73ajGgN3gm3RtlRppuaST/s400/yummy+window.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470830212406882226" border="0" /></a>A -http://www.blogger.com/profile/13155363608146295590noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3001459891175320842.post-89552495243977586712009-12-04T20:20:00.011-06:002010-05-13T13:24:38.664-05:00She's walking!The title of this post is self-explanatory!

We had a birthday party for her on the 14th with lots of friends and family. I don't think she quite understood what all the hoopla was about but we had a great time. She smashed a cupcake, opened presents, and traipsed around in her birthday dress with a pink, tulle skirt.<br /><br />Family picture from her birthday party:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2648/4105426187_4638af6b90.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 500px; height: 384px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2648/4105426187_4638af6b90.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Cupcake smash:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2710/4105349861_db7254ff5e.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 500px; height: 333px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2710/4105349861_db7254ff5e.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2546/4105357515_253509469e.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 500px; height: 333px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2546/4105357515_253509469e.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />On November 17th S sprouted her 3rd tooth - her upper, right tooth. She's in business now with her 3 teeth - she can chew off pieces of food with more efficiency. Her favorite foods these days are grilled cheese sandwiches, yogurt, avocado, bananas, bagels, ice cream and pizza.<br /><br />At 12 months she weighs 21lb 3oz and is 31.75in long! That's 55th percentile for weight and 95th percentile for length. Now that she is crawling, cruising and taking her first steps I think she's burning more calories and losing some of that baby chub. Fortunately she still has her sweet, kissable cheeks!<br /><br />On November 24th S took her very first steps! She was at daycare and she walked 7-10 steps repeatedly. By the time I picked her up in the afternoon she was too tired to recreate the event. The next day (and the next...) she was happy to pick up where she left off. She definitely still uses crawling as her main form of transportation (she can crawl faster than I can!) but she's getting more stable on her little feet, tottering around the house.<br /><br />Here is a quick video of S's first days of walking:<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwF8JWnjJHeWyd1t_Wexv3kkblb-ZzyNP447RjvdBE3JViRuqZRjVqoIAJUWoGtikEkgTZHZcEOnh1XFFYBOA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>A -http://www.blogger.com/profile/13155363608146295590noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3001459891175320842.post-67916688435136117162009-10-04T20:36:00.023-05:002010-05-13T13:26:00.693-05:00First Ponytail and more!S is unbelievable. She is the sweetest little girl. She smiles at everyone, wrinkles her nose and laughs at the slightest amusement, and gives the sloppiest, most affectionate kisses ever. Her eyes have slowly changed color from solid blue to blue with gold and green streaks.<br /><br />Her first tooth is firmly visible and I think we're working on our second tooth. She says "mama" all the time which is music to my ears, and she loves to blow raspberries on command. Her hair is finally long enough for a tiny ponytail on the top of her head.<br /><br />R and I took her to the Outer Banks, NC with R's parents for a weekend trip. It was her first trip to the ocean. She was fearless and loved the water and waves! She also loved the sand between her toes.<br /><br />She loves to sit on her Papa's shoulders and go for long walks. She bounces on his shoulders and giggles with glee. It is such a sight to see! One of my favorite things to do is nap with her on the weekends. Her cuddles take my breath away.<br /><br />Here are some recent pictures:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN9JS6X8BWuBzc5zyvzWq4SSvNtG5133rUDUq9REexA_8q9Z1yOUplh69Bb9mV4apNyMxQV6IfXx9xGcOqdkyYYmm-bggS8ovaDzcZuvPAqTMEHcSnuk0Q9thYYB_oIkgkr0WoGmQL6bPt/s1600-h/IMG_1796.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;

I have taken a picture of her with Teddy every month since she was 2 months old, but this was the first time that she has been too mobile to sit still for the camera.

I just finished 6 weeks of night shifts... it is so nice to see the sun again! Every morning when I came home from work I would snuggle and nap with S. I looked forward to it every day. I am excited to see R a lot more now that we'll mostly be on days together! We both love our jobs and things are going well. My mom, dad and sister, H, have been absolute angels helping to take care of S. They have been amazing and I don't know what we would have done without them this summer. S loves her Aunt H so much! Mary came to visit the week of the 4th of July when she was on leave from Iraq. Savannah had so much fun with her Aunt M and we can't wait to see her again in February.<br /><br />S is changing and growing so much! She's over 18lb and 28 inches long now. She still isn't crawling or walking, but she's starting to learn to do both! She has become very adventurous in trying to lunge forward when sitting and going after whatever toy she wants at the moment. Right now she "swims" trying to crawl. It's so cute! She is also standing up with assistance and trying to let go and try to take steps. She feeds herself the bottle and is starting to say consonant phrases like "mama" nonspecifically. I love it!<br /><br />Here are some recent pictures:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtPFF8Ngm_3qQfcoLMI8JmZ96wncbYah1NasCIvpe8lX4ZKEZtmVtm6crk-HUb4IRIvunN8hsUNeZesJLYqgS7r3QB0mm9TzPYmRmWtxDNmXNiPaM2GlNye8LsKYllOiWAsv1BSNqebyvJ/s1600-h/mommy+pea.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 303px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtPFF8Ngm_3qQfcoLMI8JmZ96wncbYah1NasCIvpe8lX4ZKEZtmVtm6crk-HUb4IRIvunN8hsUNeZesJLYqgS7r3QB0mm9TzPYmRmWtxDNmXNiPaM2GlNye8LsKYllOiWAsv1BSNqebyvJ/s400/mommy+pea.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364976908293737714" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFv1uNhjsR3Iatd0erwzVUN3zoD1B_X3r2H87x-FG17hxl0AIMSEv3p2tu0uvpsKOFLQm7TNU_67Iva8jMCo5qYkznp7yXt6UfEAcIwCKM641O6AhBI9OvQiI-Q3An-nVJ2v9Wb1_9raqo/s1600-h/8+months.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFv1uNhjsR3Iatd0erwzVUN3zoD1B_X3r2H87x-FG17hxl0AIMSEv3p2tu0uvpsKOFLQm7TNU_67Iva8jMCo5qYkznp7yXt6UfEAcIwCKM641O6AhBI9OvQiI-Q3An-nVJ2v9Wb1_9raqo/s400/8+months.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364976807805569170" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieVpa5LCNIqdWgFbUHPfrPhQdnPgIEqf8CxEEwvJoDyeTVffXfq8QighiLuwKL32SpxDXYkrMwIz-XWVCBFeDDf5kaHvkq0vCEXwygaB4SVDi5ZfzPTKMMXqH5aF0wFK4yt9-pRtZN7_HE/s1600-h/hike+6.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieVpa5LCNIqdWgFbUHPfrPhQdnPgIEqf8CxEEwvJoDyeTVffXfq8QighiLuwKL32SpxDXYkrMwIz-XWVCBFeDDf5kaHvkq0vCEXwygaB4SVDi5ZfzPTKMMXqH5aF0wFK4yt9-pRtZN7_HE/s400/hike+6.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364976732602694482" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib7-suGeygfxu8ky5E0GDbKVDdkCg2BusvfrPcLl-A0b5FS3JqSXJqu0QRVxO0K5CtPgrRcR6xukoh2DDP5DG9lC8WK4XD-nrIRmsbTjdCBGL-FDVg6Is3IS3h1LVf2Rl3RAju6w6PjuWb/s1600-h/hike+2.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib7-suGeygfxu8ky5E0GDbKVDdkCg2BusvfrPcLl-A0b5FS3JqSXJqu0QRVxO0K5CtPgrRcR6xukoh2DDP5DG9lC8WK4XD-nrIRmsbTjdCBGL-FDVg6Is3IS3h1LVf2Rl3RAju6w6PjuWb/s400/hike+2.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364976670731727442" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxPU2shO9iv7IXp-9x2wFhdt1eG2JeImIjg8r2vn42-DkSTrcdb6dGvU9ajzjWN4DgZth8pu488Q4Y_pHFh3xdTD0IwQoqWCIAUPgNtWrccIS5AXwmJSSv4UljvBxtu1bR7lgQ0O4A7gln/s1600-h/hike+1.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 293px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxPU2shO9iv7IXp-9x2wFhdt1eG2JeImIjg8r2vn42-DkSTrcdb6dGvU9ajzjWN4DgZth8pu488Q4Y_pHFh3xdTD0IwQoqWCIAUPgNtWrccIS5AXwmJSSv4UljvBxtu1bR7lgQ0O4A7gln/s400/hike+1.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364976593535822914" border="0" /></a>A -http://www.blogger.com/profile/13155363608146295590noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3001459891175320842.post-60924247659092338192009-06-27T21:36:00.007-05:002010-05-13T13:27:47.994-05:00Eskimo Kisses and moreR and I just finished our first full week of residency.

I carry S in the Snuggli and R walks the dogs - it works out perfectly. I love having her so close to me and I feel like it's great bonding time for us. She will never again be this small and I cherish this stage so much. I will remember these days forever...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGtdsZT0F9VzYb_EjlDq1jevUmSVZVDTORBWriIwwLYM5nDAdZThvHlt6XMLsyOjAPmZDR5cAB-r2Pui84nkY3CWDFN1VKU7nWssGYEv8vmb_iDRPXfDT_8Ga3eKyAIwHY4cBi0O7Qxutj/s1600-h/little+monkey.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 174px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGtdsZT0F9VzYb_EjlDq1jevUmSVZVDTORBWriIwwLYM5nDAdZThvHlt6XMLsyOjAPmZDR5cAB-r2Pui84nkY3CWDFN1VKU7nWssGYEv8vmb_iDRPXfDT_8Ga3eKyAIwHY4cBi0O7Qxutj/s400/little+monkey.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348089219897282882" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Here was S yesterday in her swing.

Today was my mother's first day watching S by herself. It went really well! I missed her so much but she had a lot of fun with Oma. When R and I got home this afternoon from orientation she was excited to see us. Sigh... I wish I could bring her to work with me in the Snuggli.
