Timber
*The Lumberjack, is taking down dead trees in the back yard and making a new place for his hammock. This week the other tree just past it was felled.
More Table Time
Lulu again refusing to eat in her high chair rushed straight over to the table for her dinner.
How Lulu gets on a chair.
And then there is daily puzzle time, she brings them to the table after her meal every day (breakfast, dinner) and kicks me out of my chair so she can play there. Below is a video of her with her puzzles and a whole lot of talking going on!
Lulu is really loving to read books now, guess she realized that her dad and I read there a lot and figured she should too. Around bedtime we go play in her room where there are books, and sno-globes... she picks out about 2 books at a time and brings them too me, sits between my legs and lets me read her a little bit (1-2 words per page unless they are her favorite books). Yesterday she was bringing me books, and she said, "OH" leaped off the floor and ran to the book shelf where she'd just seen her First 100 Words book. That and the Cat and the Dog books are almost a guaranteed read through... because she has to kiss all the animals, including the fish, frog, guinea pig, and goat.
Self Diapering
This is the latest in attempts to put diapers on herself. She got into the diaper backpack and took out the diaper and tries many times to put it in the right spot... when she's not doing that she sometimes puts it down on the floor and lays on it like a pillow. Of course the cloth diapers have more cushion! She's really picked up (not from me) playing with dolls at day care, where there are baby dolls and blankets and tiny carriers. She puts the baby in the carrier and covers her with a blanket... it's super cute until we have to leave the baby at Day Care where not even her Bear-Bear makes her stop the crying (but M&M's do- bad Mommy!)
The New Baby's Chair
While passing a garage sale this weekend I saw this chair/swing for 50 cents. The mom I bought it from said corroded batteries were inside and so it doesn't consistently work. I figured I would try to fix it, no loss for that cheap. As soon as I bought it in the door though it's been Lulu's newest favorite toy. She stands and swings, she sits and swings, she puts all her animals in it, and sometimes her animals and her balls. She also puts her animals in the swing and covers them up with her blanket. It's so cute.
Nail Room
My latest investment everything in the room except the bookshelf so now that we hired a mgr, I do manicures and pedicures.
The Girl Scouts register this week, and I am suppose to be helping out... I think Friday. I did get all our Day Camp "Cup with Love Project" cups glazed and fired this weekend. I always forget how cute everything looks when it's fired and shiny.
I am so close to finishing our book club book from forever ago, then I want to read one last old book before I move onto the October PR book Remedies. The Menahga BC is going to see the Eat, Pray, Love movie and have dinner this week I think? I hope so since I didn't enjoy that read enough to get past the first 1/4 of the book. It'll be great to see everyone after the long summer break.
Lastly, I decided that when I don't have clients on Wednesday afternoons I am going back to my Knitting Support Group. And Mom, the first thing I am finishing is that Tea Cozy for your Russian Tea Pot. Then it's back to the sweater that I started before Lulu was born!
The End
A little bopping around from Lulu. She's got on a cute outfit... and her diaper hangs out the back, so many clothes don't work for cloth diapers!
She loved petting BB, a super calm and snuggley yellow Labrador.
She picked out her first book all by herself, Courious George.
