Tired Tuesday

Good morning everyone. We had a usual Monday with nothing out of the ordinary to report. Peanut got in two naps at daycare so that was nice. She is having a rough patch of sleeping at night and is getting up a lot, which makes for a tired mom and dad. Hopefully it's some teeth that are coming and not something else. At least with teeth there is an end in site. Hope you all had a great Monday and have a wonderful Tuesday.

Cardboard Adventure Boat

Good Morning everyone. Another weekend has passed, it was full of lots of good stuff and great weather, but still seems to be over too quickly. We spent some time outside, to enjoy the last wonderful days in the 60's before it snows, and worked on hauling our wood pile away. We went out to breakfast and to the grocery store. We played with a whole new batch of cardboard adventure boats. Peanut took great naps and we had yummy dinners. She has now perfected her dismount from high surfaces and can do it on her own with only a spotter. We are convinced she is saying Mom and Dad, but what parent isn't I guess. This is Peanut's 11 month birthday week. Next time I post for this it will be 1 year and a couple weeks before Christmas. Hope you have a great Monday.

Look how far we've come...

Happy Thursday everyone! Yay for the end of a loooong week. Today's pictures show how big she is getting! In the second picture is is shaking her head no, hence her crazy head angle and arms. I can't believe next week will be 11 months! Yesterday was a good day. We spent 3 hours in our pre-meeting at work, all to have the final meeting cancelled because they were behind schedule. That's not unusual for these types of meetings, but still frustrating. Maybe next week we will have it, ugh. Peanut had a good day at school. She has learned something new again, this week is loaded with them! She now turns around or mostly turns around, when she is getting off the bed instead of diving head first. She gets to the edge and peers over, but safely, then she backs up a bit and starts to circle her legs towards the edge. She sometimes gets one stuck while the other one is on it's way down but she is really getting it. It is so amazing watching her pick up on all of this stuff! Have a great weekend everyone, next week will be 11 month celebration time...

Im pointing, Im pointing

Good morning everyone, we are up an hour early today due to Peanut's decision that her wake up time this morning would be 4am, which is 2 hours early for her. Oh the joys of parenthood. The heat hasn't even kicked on in the house yet so it is a chilly start! Yesterday was a good day, someone from work came and started to take some of our wood and will be bringing a trailer back to take the rest so that is good news for the backyard. Yesterday, after we got home from work, Daphne and I were standing at the front door watching Mike move the cars out of the driveway (to load wood). When she saw him get out of the car she squealed and POINTED at him. This is her first official one finger point...at least that we have noticed and is directly at something. It was super cute and pretty exciting. I'll keep picturing that today as my eyes bulge out of my head from the early wake up. Today at work will be crazy, my team is scheduled to present to Mr. Kohler for our review so my early wake up will keep me on my toes. Have a great Wednesday!

Chicken & Barley Soup

So far we have had a good start to our first week of November. Nothing too exciting to report other then the usual Monday routine. She had a good day at school and work was pretty normal. Today Peanut is going to try her first real school food. She is going to have some Chicken Barley soup for lunch! Usually I send all of the food but I looked at the menu and thought she might like that one. Today's pictures are from our leaf raking adventure, the top one is right before we started and the bottom one is when we were all done and she was getting off my back. Have a great Tuesday...

Time Change Monday

Good Morning everyone. Another week, sigh. Monday's aren't exactly my favorite day, especially when you throw a time change in the mix. We had a great Halloween weekend. We mostly just hung out at home but we did manage to throw a few accomplishments in there. Here is a list of some of the stuff that we did this weekend...

• I finished 4 hats, still have 3 to go but at least I'm moving forward
• Mike got Peanut to nap for 2 hours and 15 min on Saturday! Go Dad!!!
• I unpacked my new sewing machine
• We all raked our backyard and put the leaves on the street
• We got 20 trick or treaters
• Peanut is mastering the art of walking while pushing her favorite cardboard box around the house
• We dressed up and went to the Design Center for a mini trick or treat

Hope you all had a great weekend and have a good week coming up....

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween Everyone!!
