Adrianna had a restless night where she woke up crying several times. This morning, she didn’t eat much breakfast, which is very unusual for her as she is not a picky eater and she loves Malt-o-Meal and bananas. But since we noticed that she has a new tooth coming in (her seventh tooth), we attributed […]

Peek-a-Boo
This is the reaction that I get from Adrianna when we play hide and seek. She is just coming around the corner and I surprised her with an enthusiastic “Boo!” After the game of hide and seek was begun, she gets in on it. She will hide her face around the corner of the wall […]
Dirty Dishes and Dog Kisses
Today was a busy and productive day. The kind of day that makes me feel satisfied with all I accomplished. Vacuuming, mopping, dishes, cooking, laundry, general cleaning, dusting, weeding, and rose trimming. Whew. That is more than I have accomplished in a long time. I was unloading some clean dishes from our dishwasher. Close by […]
Mommy Monster
When my three siblings and I were growing up, we used to enjoy playing a game that was known in our house as “Mommy Monster.” It basically consisted of my mother hiding somewhere in our mostly unfinished basement and we would try to work up the nerve to slowly and quietly creep down the stairs […]
Cici’s Pizza
Now that we have a child who likes to make noise when we go out to eat, we find ourselves eating at Cici’s Pizza more and more. Cici’s is a pizza buffet place that is frequented by many other families with small children, so we feel like we can go there and not get angry […]
Family Pics and a Fun Coincidence
Well, we finally got our first family pictures taken. Getting Adrianna to smile proved to be a bit of a challenge since it was close to her naptime, but we managed to get a few smiles. The weirdest thing happened while we were picking up our pictures. They had some example displays of some photos […]
What a Friend She Has in Winnie
I have mentioned before how much Adrianna loves her teddy bears. Winnie the Pooh holds a special coveted place in her crib every night. He is a great companion. He can play music if you turn a little knob on his back. Sometimes in the middle of the night or in the mornings when all […]
My Girly-Girl
Adrianna LOVES shoes. Especially her shoes or mine. She already is turning into a little girly-girl. I wonder if she will be the type of woman who has to have lots of pairs of shoes. For right now though, her favorite thing to do with shoes is carry them around the house, not wear them. […]
Toddler Tidy-up
Keeping my house clean / picked up while taking care of a young child is difficult to say the least. I have never been a very tidy person to begin with. I am not dirty; just very cluttered. When Adrianna was a baby, keeping the house neat fell to the backburner. Basically, my days were […]
A Post About Poop
The title says it all. Adrianna has been having these really gross and strange bowel movements for the past couple of weeks. They are extremely runny, yellow, and smelly. It also seems to leak out of her diapers more due to its consistency and the huge amounts of it. She isn’t really sick, so I […]
