Blue mouth

    I'll admit this happened when I was paying too much attention too my phone but it could have as easily happened any other time.  

    Big L has some stickers that you can color yourself. She colored them mostly with a blue marker.  I looked up from my phone; Facebook is way too addicting, I'm trying to kick it but it's soooo hard.  Anyway I looked up and little L's tongue and all around her mouth was blue. At first I could not figure out what had happened but then I fished out the sopping wet sticker and found the culprit.  Good thing we only have non toxic markers. :/   

    

Yay for sleeping on your own; at least for longer stretches!

    My good little baby slept until I was actually ready to go to bed tonight!  It was so nice; I got to sit and have a snack, wash dishes, AND cuddle up with the hubs while we watched a show!  Then when I was ready to lay down she woke up, nursed a little, then fell back to sleep.

    This works for me, I can do this. It's the only sleeping on her own for 15 min at a time that makes me what to scream.

Good girl little L.  Is it asking too much to repeat this tomorrow night? 

Fixing a lift and flap book

    Well I may have let my 2.5 year old watch four shows already this morning and have her whole chocolate bunny.

Hey she did poop in the potty and ate almost a whole carton of strawberries, so don't judge.   I may have waited too long to check a diaper and as a result the baby had a poop out.  The floor may really need a vaccume and I have already had a good cry but this was fun; I fixed a lift and flap book.  

Some cardboard, fabric swatch, hot glue and a marker and it's kinda as good as new :)

  By the way I kinda hate lift and flap books and pop up books because they always seem to get ripped and ruined.  

Two ingredient pancakes

     

 Here is Little L enjoying her breakfast of one big strawberry and a two ingredient pancake.  

Last night I thought the two ingredient pancakes where a Pinterest fail. Today she is eating them.  Although they were not easy to flip.  I used a banana from the freezer so maybe they would turn out better with a fresh banana.  

    If you don't know what two ingredients it's 2 eggs and one mashed banana.  Some of my pancakes turned into scrambled eggs.  Yup that looked about as appetizing as it sounds.  :/.   

   Big L is having strawberries and coco puffs.  "Chocolate cereal with chocolate milk" as she calls it.  

    Disclaimer: I am not giving my child chocolate milk in her chocolate cereal.  The cereal turns the milk brown so she has started asking for chocolate cereal with chocolate milk.  Not like chocolate cereal with white milk is so much better but there are worse things in the world.   

No more pajamas

    Big L has decided she does not like pajamas anymore.  If you tell her "its time to put your jammies on".  She will respond " no not jammies, regular clothes!".  

    I would rather her wear pjs to bed but I'm not going to fight her about it as long as she is wearing something to bed.   I do make her wear elastic wast bands at least, no zipper and button pants.  

    This has turned out to be a kind of good thing though.  She puts regular clothes on at night and wakes up dressed.  No more fights about getting dressed in the morning!  I'm not sure if she has thought this through or not but she made a comment the other day that made me think she has.  I said "I need to go get dressed, and then we can go".  She looked down at her body and said "I'm already dressed!".  

    As far as I'm concerned she can wear regular clothes to bed for as long as she wants.  

    

Baby and her food

Feeding herself a spoon of mashed Avocado 

Carrots

Avocado! She loves avocado.  

Apple.  With just two teeth she can really eat a lot of this.  

Carrots agian just because I love this picture.  

Sweet potato is defiantly a fav. 

Summer squash! She has also had zucchini.  

Egg, yum!  Also we got a high chair!  A kind mom of four just gave it to us.  

Not pictured she has also had strawberries, rice, banana, and oranges as you saw in a different post.  

When we started solids she did not see to like them so we would go days without eating solids.  I've switched to chunks of food and she seems to enjoy that much better.  Now she likes to eat with us so she eats 1-3 times a day.  She doesn't ingest much but she has fun and is kept busy.  

I'm so much more go with the flow as far as food, and really other things as well, the second time around.  

On the move

    Time to start regularly cleaning the floors; little L is on the move.  She is not really crawling yet but within a span of five minutes or less she can make it across the room.  She flips over as fast as I put her down on her back, turns in circles, and shimmies back until she can anymore.  

   She puts what ever she can toward her mouth but seems to prefer any type of paper.  She also seems to enjoy licking the floor.  Hope this is modivation to keep them clean.  I guess I can at least run the vaccume a few more times a week.
