Pac

Big news! My little Pac-Man is crawling! Not consistently, by any means. In fact, I have to put him up on his knees before he'll move but... He moves! He's also getting about 6 teeth in right now.

In other news... I went to the eye doc yesterday to get some eyelashes removed. I had some misdirected eyelashes that would flip around and rub my eye. So they gave me a few shots in my lower lid (that was SO scary!) then the doctor removed (by freezing) the two lashes in question. Aside from the shots and the 4 hour wait, it wasn't too bad. Though I look like I was punched in the eye a little bit...

M is getting so much bigger and saying so many more words. This morning we were eating breakfast and she said "Goodnight means it's bed-time, Pac. And mommy goes goodnight, and daddy goes goodnight. Goodnight is not fun." She cracks me up!

Sleeping Angel?

New Fence

We got a new fence. I love it.

Our new garden

We put in this small garden in front of our house. I think it turned out really nice.

M

M has said a few humorous things over the last year that I wanted to jot down.

One time the cat was sniffing one of her toy ducks she named Daddy Duck. She immediately panicked and said, "All done kitty eat Daddy Duck! All done kitty eat Daddy Duck! M eat Daddy Duck!" And she jumped off her chair, ran to Daddy Duck's rescue, and promptly put him in her mouth.

Another time she was feeding her baby along side me while I fed Pac. I asked her what her baby was eating and she said, "Pretend. Pretend is so yummy!"

She thinks the opposite of hot is yummy and the opposite of clean is yucky. One day she was pretending to drink a rock. I said, "We don't really put rocks in our mouth. They're not very yummy."
M replied, "They're hot!"
"No, they're yucky," I said.
"They're so clean!" she said.

Last night I was drawing some shapes with her. She started with the common request for a circle, rectangle, square, and heart. I drew also drew a star and a triangle. She then requested a hexagon and an equilateral triangle...

I'm Back, Baby!

 I've been wanting to blog now and then but it was impossible to do from my phone. I couldn't click on the text box where you type the body of the blog. But... I discovered how to blog from my phone (by email) and I can even use pictures. So, please excuse any typos since typing is a much more difficult from a phone. :)

 Plenty has happened and I won't be able to catch up in that regard. M will soon be three and our little Pac Man is almost 8 months old! 

 M is currently potty training. She is doing very well. Suddenly she looks so grown up and she seems to act older too. Watching her grow up is a bit frightening. She loves to laugh and tell jokes. She tries very hard to imitate me in almost everything. Every time I feed/bathe/change Pac she is right there trying to do it with me. I usually make her get her own baby, though. She is so sweet with him. She will walk into his room in the morning saying, "Hi teetee pie!" (sweetie pie). I love watching her interact with him.

 Pac loves M. He lights up when he sees her. Of course, he lights up pretty easily. He is a pretty sweet boy. He is really only fussy when something is wrong. Otherwise he is content to sit and play. I think he is getting in about 5 teeth right now. I can see the bulges on his top gums but I don't know how long they'll take. He sits up like a champ and is finally efficient in rolling over. He also prefers laying on his tummy and is starting to get into the crawling position. Exciting. 

Well that's all for now. Sorry if the formatting is weird, or anything else. 

Experiment

I'm just testing my ability to blog from my phone.

Here are my cute kids, M (almost 3 now) and Pac ( 7 1/2 months)
