Trial, but mostly error.

This morning, L woke up to a slightly wet bed. We had taken precautions and put shorts on over her disposable last night, but apparently this diaper was a little faulty. It left the telltale signs of discolored rings in random spots across her freshly laundered sheets. I made a mental note […]

Proof of her necklace fetish (at 15 months)

A NOTE (OR FEW) BEFORE WE BEGIN:  1.  I fully realize the extent of the floppiness of the 2nd hat.  They were $2 at Walmart yo.  I just couldn’t pass them up.  Besides, she’s still almost bald and we prefer non-sunburned heads.  2.  Yes, I also realize the room in which these photos were taken […]

Miss Attitude (Not me)

What do you do when you turn around to put food on the highchair tray for (her) lunch, and the highchair’s missing? You bribe her to roll it back down the hallway and put it back. You can count to three all you want and threaten , but the thing that gets this […]

15 Months Old

Things I wish to remember…Lorelei at 15 months…
- You “honk” people’s noses
- All animals are either dogs (panting noise) or cats (OW! –derived from the sound “meow”)
-You still love bananas and refuse to call them as such.  They are “nana” for now. You ask for them for breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, supper, and any other […]

Meh.

I have some 5th of July photos that are a wee bit late in getting up here…but hey.  Shut it.

The simple things.

This weekend has rocked so far.  Tried sushi.  Found a hat for $6 that I REALLY wanted.  Moved trash and (flattened and moved) about 70 boxes to the trash place (out of the garage).  Ate supper and visited with my parents.  And, today?  I’m washing some clothes and towels and Steven is mowing…hooray…our jungle-yard will […]

Signs she knows more than she’s letting on…

(Signs she knows more than she’s letting on…)
…She can repeat songs like “la la la ” or “da da da”
…After rolling over and into the rocking chair, she smacks it and points at it, saying “Don’t!”
…I begin singing and she places one finger in front of mouth in a shhhh sign.
…While trying to put her […]

Several things…all rolled into one lumpy post!

First, I know, I know…I’m so very late for posting about my Organization 2008 updates.
This past week, my goal was to clean and organize the Master Bedroom and closets (meaning me cleaning mine and him cleaning his).  Lucky for me, last year, I’d bought, assembled, and installed (with the help of my wonderful hubby) a […]

Questioning myself…

Approximately a week ago (maybe two), Lorelei started showing signs of seasonal allergies (pollen, grass, etc.).  I wasn’t too concerned as I have allergies as well, and so I can at least spot it and know what it is.
But, then…things changed.  A few days ago, we both developed new symptoms.  Maybe you remember me mentioning […]
