A little too quiet

This morning, B & I were getting ready for work when I realized that things were a little too quiet in the house. Normally, b is playing with her toys, running around making a lot of noise, and generally demanding a lot of attention from us. When I started searching for her, she wasn't in any of her usual places. When I finally checked in her bedroom I found her sitting in her nursing chair with the boppy around her waist. To complete the picture, I gave her her baby doll to play with.

Family Halloween Costumes?

Today is September 7th. that means I only have 1 month and 24 days to figure out and execute a family costume plan for Halloween 2011. Last year, b was only 4 1/2 months old so I let things slide. A friend gave us a Bee costume so we put her in that and called it good. This year I want to do something fun for the whole family. Here are a few of my ideas:

Harry Potter (b), Ron (B) and Hermione (me)
Super Heros (Superman, Superwoman, Wonderwoman?)
A Family of Garden Gnomes
Charlie Brown, Lucy & Peppermint Patty
Dorthy, Scarecrow and Lion
Pack of Crayola crayons

Any other ideas?

b's milestones

I haven't been very good at keeping a record of a lot of b's firsts, so I thought I'd write down a few of the big ones while I'm thinking of it.

rolled over: 8 weeks




crawled: 7 months + 2 days




walked: 9 months + 2 days



A little better at walking - 10 months

b's words - 14 Months

b is now 14 months and she is saying lots of words. Just the other day she was reading her book with mormor when she says "triangle". Do 14 month olds say triangle? Apparently this one does. Here are a few of her other words:
