Fist pump Friday: Sing a little song with me
This is my little sassy one: Now, for a 3 year old (2 months until she’s 4!!) she actually does REALLY well at cleaning up after herself. She even has started clearing her spot at the table with reminders, asking whether she can put her stuff in the dishwasher, etc. Toys are a little trickier. … [Read more…]
she’s a pushover…
her: “mom, can I play ‘push over the dwarves’ behind the couch?” me: umm, no dear.. wth?
I was like baby, baby, baby.. oh!-Brennan update
Brennan has been very busy since she turned six months old. She is definitely rolling over now, pretty much as soon as she is put down. She is SO proud of herself for doing it, too. Probably because we cheered the first 20 times she rolled over. Which of course means that she’s already trying … [Read more…]
Sing a song of sixpence
This one has been singing a lot lately. Humming, dancing around (aka running, but we’re not supposed to run, so it is dancing!) and so on. The best thing so far has been her rendition of ‘gimme a break’ as in, the kit kat song. She sings it for all candy bars, regardless of type. … [Read more…]
Sisterhood of the Traveling Sweater
and One of my friends got this sweater for Keeley. When her 2nd daughter was born, I sent it back to her, and she sent it back to me when my 2nd daughter was born. Our friend just had her first girl, and it will go to her. It’s a sisterhood.
Games we play #251
Okay, so this week we have started playing along with ‘patty cake’. Finally. Today she ‘patted’ and ‘rolled’ and I swear to God she said ‘roll it’, but I couldn’t get her to repeat it. Tomorrow? Her, me and the itsy bitsy spider. It’s on! Peek a boo has been her mainstay. She finally figured … [Read more…]
11 months old
We’re practicing for potty training already. Ha! This is a 10 month picture, but as I wanted to post and our 11 month pictures won’t be taken until this PM, this is the one you get! After several weeks of struggling with keeping Keeley on the changing table, I moved her over to the guest … [Read more…]
Baby, baby
Keeley loves any song with baby in it. Baby, baby is fine. You can sing baby baby over and over again and she loves it. Today I opened her door and sang ‘stand by your maaaaan’…. that was a kick. I think she was mostly glad to see me, because she was hungry, but still, … [Read more…]
Life with a 10 month old
Crawl everywhere, particularly everywhere mommy doesn’t want you. If she sees you, giggle like crazy and hurry up. Stop, to be sure she will catch you. Whine a little to protest being caught and then happily wiggle legs. Scream randomly during diaper changes. Try to touch the doodie. Pat at yourself to see what’s down … [Read more…]
