Taking Kimmie's advice I have decided to start blogging again right where I'm at. This week I had a bunch of random thoughts so here we go.
No amount of the 2 year old scream can erase the sweet image of my angel sleeping. And just in case Mama was have a really bad day, the "I fell asleep praying" pose is enough to fall in love all over again and forget any other inconvenience as well... heck this pose could even get Papa out of the dog house:)
It's official we have switched over to cloth diapers. I love the colors and that they can match up with Boo's outfits. I love that we make less waste (kind of), and I have been pleasantly surprised that it hasn't caused that much more work. However, we do now have a permanent drying rack taking up residence in the guest room.
Notice anything different about me? Yep if you look closely those are tiny little shinys in my ears.
We took Boo to get her ears pierced this weekend. The lady who did it said "Don't worry they don't cry too much when we do it". And she was right, she didn't cry long. But she did cry LOUD!!! Loud enough for the mall goers to stop and look at us like we deserved the "Worst Parents in the World Award". However, we got home and now we touch, turn, and lay on them with no tears:)
"In the house and on the street, how many different feet you meet!" Dr Seuss. I love Boo's little feet. During my last trip to Target I was actually able to fit those tiny feet into NB (Newborn) shoes. Yes my 6 month old has ity-bity feet. So just for laughs we thought we would size them up to Papa's big dogs. I think this has to be one of my favorite pictures. Not to mention the big smiles at Papa as we are taking this picture.
WARNING NERD MOMENT!!: Due to the laws of refraction, when you look at an object in water they appear larger than they actually are. So what law is it that makes furniture look so much smaller in the store compared to in your home?
In anticipation of Boo beginning to pull herself up, and trying to avoid any incidences with the bookshelves, we decided to get some "more sturdy" furniture. We settled on this wall unit, which we love. It serves our purposes, we have room to grow and it is definitely sturdy. However, it really does look bigger in our home than it the store. Oh well some day we had to trade in our IKEA mismatch stuff for "grown up furniture" right?
We also got a recliner but it was so much bigger than in the store that my feel couldn't touch the ground. That one went back and we are waiting on the new one to come in. There is just something wrong about leaving my job, living in Florida and buying a recliner, I didn't expect to do all this for at least another 20-30 years:)
Finally we made it to the beach. After driving by several times we found a private beach, payed our $2 for parking and had a blast with Boo. At first she wasn't real excited about going in the water. I think it was a bit chilly for her little feet. However, once Mama and Papa got in and turned her around so she could see what was going on she loved it. Papa kept letting her "swim" and Mama bobbed up and down with her as the waves came and went.
