Brush and Floss Every Day

The other night we were all sitting in the living room like we do most evenings...me reading, T playing his new PS3 and the girls playing on the floor. Boo gave up what she was doing and started crawling toward her room. Her room is baby proof and she likes to play in there so I didn't stop her.

A few minutes later I heard a weird noise. It was kind of like a "swish, swish, swish". I thought, that's odd, but I was at a good part in my book and didn't want to put it down since I figured she couldn't be into much in her room. A few minutes later I heard it again. T was getting up for something so I asked him to check. I heard a "Where did you get that??" He brought her in and plunked her down on the floor.

I had forgotten that there was still one small duffel bag left over from Christmas (terrible I know!) that was still in her room. I thought there were just clothes in there but apparently there were also a few stocking stuffers...like floss. Cinnamon flavored floss.

"What?"

She thought it was pretty darn tasty! She kept smacking her lips and saying "Num!" :)

She drank an entire sippy cup of water! I'm sure her mouth was experiencing a sensation that had yet to be discovered in her short life. :)

After we took it away she started licking her fingers. I guess she really likes cinnamon!

At her first dental appointment I'm sure they will be highly impressed that our baby has such vivid concerns for her oral health. :)

Giggles

Lately Boo has been doing this really cute thing where she grins and wrinkles up her nose, and if she is an especially good mood she does this funny little giggle. It cracks me up!

Cubby

No this post is not about Awana cubbies, but rather a cubby space. The other night Bug pulled out one of the toy bins and Boo discovered her new favorite place to play!

~

She can barely fit in there but she played in that little cubby for ten minutes straight!

She loved it!

She finally got out and I thought she was done, but she was just headed to get some toys. I have no idea how she is playing in there when she can barely lift her head enough to see the toys. :)

But she played in it off and on all night, and then again the next day.

And the next...at which point she apparently became a dinosaur eating carnivorous creature from the land of dazed and confus-edly cramped spaces. :)

What a funny girl!

Wordless Wednesday

Stand Tall

Boo is still not very interested in walking. We can't even get her to stand up b/c whenever we try she drops to her knees and takes off like a shot. Then the other night when she, Bug, and Daddy were playing she randomly decided she was going to stand up for about five minutes straight! Before that she had only stood for a few seconds at a time and she hasn't done it since then. We were really surprised! What a funny girl. :)

~

Oh, and you can hear her saying "Thank you" several times in this video. She says thank you every time we hand her something and every time she hands us something. :) Sorry for my baby talk...just ignore me. I need to work on staying quiet when I video. :)

Snow Day

On Tuesday night we were supposed to get up to 11 inches of snow! It ended up only being four or five, but that was enough that I needed to shovel the sidewalks so during Boo's nap we got all bundled up and went outside for a little snow removal.

~
Well, I went for snow removal, Bug went for snow angels, snowballs, snow slides, and of course, her favorite game: knocking all the freshly removed snow back into the sidewalk so that Mommy has to re-shovel it. I know this is not done on purpose but heaven help me it sure seems like it is! :)

(That little thing sticking up on the right hand side of the pictures is one of our 18 inch sprinkler risers so you can see how much we have).

My snow angel.

It's so funny but I never have to tell Bug to stay close to me when we are outside in the snow, she sticks to me like a shadow for some reason. Which means she will occasionally get a face full of snow when she scoots around to the side where all the snow is landing.

Princess of the mountain!

Our neighbors have a "U" shaped driveway so they take all their snow from it and pile it up on our side parking strip. This makes a fun mountain of snow for Bug to slide down.

~

Unfortunately it got really warm yesterday and all of this new snow is already gone. Hopefully it doesn't all melt b/c it's such a nice warm blanket for all my plants. They are going to do SO much better this year since they haven't had to contend with the freezing winds. We still have at least a foot left over but we're supposed to have temperatures in the high 30's for the next ten days so we might lose it. Maybe we'll get some fresh stuff soon.

Hope you all have a great weekend!

Dance

The kids were too darn cute at dance class this week! There were only 8 in her class this time so she wasn't quite so overwhelmed.

Bug is on the far left in the pink pants. I love the way they are all bouncing around. They do this for half an hour! As you can imagine, she sleeps well on Monday night. :)

(sorry the video is not very good, I should have gotten closer)

Love that booty shakin'! :)
