Just for Fun


Learning to feed myself for the first time. What a MESS! OK it wasn't that bad, Today I thought that I might give it a try, so there was hardly any food left. She sure had fun though.


I tried one of Keira's bitter cookies, and wondered to myself "how is it that babies like these? they are very hard and really not that good at all!" Humm maybe its the amazing mess they make that we have to clean up :)

The other day while Keira was playing I decided to do some work around the house, When I went to check on her, I found her with her head in her Bumbo seat, She was singing. I guess she liked the echo or something. It will never cease to amaze my how babies can find something so simple entertaining!

Keira peering through her crib. This is becoming an after nap ritual, she just loves it when I look through the crib before getting her up, sometimes she will even give me kisses through the crib as well.

Getting into the fridge. At least she's not taking things out of the fridge (yet.)

Lately when I put Keira down for naps she plays herself to sleep, this is how I found her one day after she had played herself to sleep.

A "Normal" Day of Laundry(?)

Wednesdays are usually a pretty big and busy day for me, because I do laundry, vacuum and dust, which I do almost every day-(the vacuuming and dusting,) because Keira is getting very busy, she likes to run her fingers through the carpet until she picks something up, that of course I have never seen, and then straight into the mouth, so henceforth vacuuming everyday or almost everyday occurs.
So last Wednesday I was doing laundry right because it was my laundry day. I get all the clothes washed and dried just fine only minor delays. Then I start the ironing. Ok here it goes. Get first shirt on the Ironing board, Ok Keira is playing. Iron first section of shirt, stop Keira from chewing on Snoopies rawhide, distract her, ok shes playing again. Iron middle of shirt, stop Keira from terrorizing Snoopie, showing her, her toys, ok shes playing again. Iron second section of shirt, stop Keria form playing with the cord, show her, a new toy, ok shes playing. Iron first sleeve, stop Keria from pulling on cord again, got her playing with her toys again. Iron second sleeve, stop Keria from pulling on the Sleeve which was just ironed. Its a good thing I only had about six items to iron that day because this went on for almost every single item, that I ironed. I know that all of you moms out there have gone through something like this. I know that I will again and actually look forward to it! You know good stories to tell future boyfriends, J/K (sort of.) Honestly though I am already looking back at this and laughing. I would put her in her, in her walker like toy, which has a seat that pivots around a small table, with a mini piano and other gadgets. However our child does not like to be restrained and would much rather be outside of the seat pushing it around the small table.
We are all doing well, Keira has cut her second tooth, and dealing very well with teething, at least so far. The weather here is finally changing and looks like we are headed into the rainy season, which I am very much looking forward too!
