Funny Happenings Of Yesterday

Sophia is turning into a little character. She has always tended to be a bit serious. Nothing like me. More like her dad. Not that there is anything wrong with that. However Sophia is starting to turn into a little nut bar.

Yesterday everything was cracking her up. For instance after her nap we sat and snuggled on the couch and watched the Backyardigans. We were side by side. She would quickly turn and look at me. In return I would quickly turn my head towards her and smile. She would crack up. She then returned to watch the show...then quickly look at me again. I would quickly look at her and we would crack up together. We played this game for oh about 10 minutes. It never lost it's humour.

Later in the day we were eating dinner. She was done eating and I was just finishing up. She started to talk really loudly and make all sorts of loud funny noises. For the fun of it I started to take my hand and cover and uncover her mouth very quickly so her noises sounded funny. She thought that was the best. She would laugh as I did it and her laughs sounded hilarious. After I stopped she tried to do it herself. So cute! Later as I was cleaning up she tried to grab Chris' hand to make him do the trick.

I just love this stage that she is in. We have so much fun!

Yesterday at bath time I put bubbles in her bath. I haven't done that in a long time. She was fascinated by the bubbles. She would stare at them on her hand and try to eat them. By doing this she would cover her chin in bubbles. This made me crack up which in turn made her crack up. There is something very funny about a baby cracking up with bubbles on her chin! I wish I had a picture!!

I Wish We had A Dog...

My daughter is a very messy, picky eater. Apparently food tastes better when it is served off of the floor. I will try this tactic when she refuses to eat...

I was just getting the broom to sweep up after her breakfast. She beat me to it. She is also fascinated with the broom. She tries to get the broom as I sweep and tries to eat the pile of crud. Lovely! I have become a very fast sweeper.

Title Block

I have blog block and apparently title Block.

I am trying to think of what I can write about and my brain just keeps going blank.

I could write about how blissfully happy I am. How I am living what I dreamed about since girlhood. How I always wanted to be a stay at home mom. How my husband works hard so I can live my dream. But that would probably be nauseating and way to sugar sweet for you.

I could talk about how Sophia has reached so many big and small landmarks all within 2 weeks. While Chris was on vacation she has managed to learn how to sit from a laying position, crawl, pull up onto furniture and drink properly from a sippy cup. I always had to help her tip her sippy cup back and hold it for her. She would get a taste of water or milk and spit it back out. Suddenly she gets it!! She holds and tilts the cup back and takes big drinks. This makes me so happy. I worried so much that Sophia was behind on all the "landmarks". I hated that I compared her to other babies. She is teaching me to relax and go with the flow. She is a laid back girl just like her daddy.

I could talk about how I have less blogging time. Usually while Sophia naps in the morning I blog. Now after ummm 10 months I am getting my act together and exercising while she naps. I put in a DVD of weights or cardio and attempt to workout. I have no more excuses. She is 10 months old and I can not blame baby weight anymore!! I have failed my purse goal. Such is life. Onward and upward!! My hilarious blog friend Jen at Daily Mish Mash who cracks me up on a daily basis is having a challenge called 'Looking Fine by 2009'. We are going to have a group challenge and help each other out to stay motivated and look fine by 2009! Check her blog out she is awesome and we share a love of Ryan Gosling and James McAvoy how can you not like her!

So I guess I didn't have bloggers block after all. In fact that is a lot of words up there so I hope I didn't bore you to death. Just in case I did I will throw in some pics of guess who?

Yes, I have a thing for close ups. These were all taken on our road trip to Kimberley.
