The life of Muffin!

My day was a busy one!

This is me, exploring the playscape at the park today while at my play group. I'm peeking through the slats at my friend M who just went down the slide with her mom and is playing on the swings. She's 3 months older than me and I am very taken by her. I was a little nervous being on the playscape, so I stuck close to Mamma. In order to get down off of the playscape we had to go down the spiral slide. I wasn't sure how I felt about that. I mostly had a shocked look on my face. After that we played on the swings, but I was very tired and mostly just wanted to be held today.

Once momma put me in the car to go home I fell asleep. I was so worn out from my exciting weekend with gramma, and my road trip and then play group that I crashed for close to three hours! I didn't even wake up when momma took me into the house, nor when she undressed me and put me in bed!

But, when I did wake up I was playing in my crib for a while. I like to pull clothes out of my hamper and into my crib, or anything I can reach. But the things that are in my crib, I like to throw over the rail; my elephant from Uncle C and his girl friend C, my blanket from gramma, my monkey from Daddy...whatever is in the crib when I start out. When momma came in to get me, I ignored her and went about my mission of trying to put clothes on myself, pulling things through the rails and throwing things over them. Usually I jump up (if I'm not already standing up hollering) and reach out my arms, but today I sat there with my leg dangling through the rails...playing.

After my nap I ate spaghetti that Grandma sent home for me with my daddy yesterday. I love spaghetti. Then I spent the afternoon taring up the house and terrorizing momma and Kaida (my pony sized dog). I emptied all of the water bottles out of the box. I emptied my favorite cabinet. I pulled down all of the papers and magazines mommy stacks on the edge of the table (just for me) and scattered them about the kitchen floor. I ripped some of them and then played keep away with Momma. I'd hold out the torn piece of paper, she'd reach for it, then I would grab it back and take off as fast as my little legs could carry me, just laughing all the way. I did this for quite some time, running all over the house. I then found a banana (I love those!) in my diaper bag, so I carried that around for a while. I put a toy bird up to my ear and talked on it like it was a phone, sat on momma's lap for a while, talked to my daddy on the phone while he was driving home from work, and now I am back in the kitchen playing...

...And waiting for daddy!







...and turning the TV on and off.





...and then running to the door when daddy finally does make it home!

Loving her snack!

Muffin has an enormous appetite. She loves to snack! She's learning to take 'little bites' and not shove it all in at once!

Playing with her food!

Muffin has a real "thing" for her cereal box! She spends most oh the day standing in this area, passing between the cabinet, the bakers rack and the window. We had just gotten off of the potty about 3 minutes ago. About a minute after this picture was taken she decided to go potty...in her diaper. Not that I am seriously trying to potty train her, but she's used the potty chair before. It seems like this past week I am missing her by just a few minutes. It's a little frustrating. But knowing when she went potty...makes it easier to know when to get her back on the chair. So...here's for hoping!

She-ra

My little muffin is notorious for lifting things she has no business carrying! She spent the day at grandma's house where she used the potty chair again. While we were all playing Rummy Royal she decided to carry this chip case around. She is such a ham!

At the park!

This is from this mornings play group at the park!

Muffin loves the swings and giggled her booty off.

She also tried out the slide for the first time.

A tidbit about a little bird named Muffin


This is Muffin, my little bird. She was born on January 27, 2008. I don't know why I call her Muffin, I just do. I also call her a little bird. I don't know why I call her that either. Muffin is my first child. She's full of life. Her laughter is infectious. She eats everything. She sings. She dances. She talks to herself all day long. She is the fourth grandchild to my mother and the first grandchild to her daddy's parents. Muffin is daddy's little girl. She loves her daddy. She also loves her 120lb English Mastiff named Kaida. Kaida is more like a pony for Muffin. We live in Southeastern Michigan. This is Muffins first spring "aware" of her surroundings and is enjoying everything about the outdoors. We recenlty joined a playgroup at a local church and we have had the pleasure of enjoying play group outside at a nearby play scape. Muffin loves the swings. She giggles with glee at every push. This past month she has changed so much. She just cut her 9th tooth, she started walking, she's experimenting with the potty chair, she visited the library for the very first time and also the park. She is also spouting out various words and phrases like "I do it!" (that's her favorite) or "uh oh!" and "All done" along with so many others. It seems like everyday she learns a new word. This past weekend she started to say "Shoe". Her hair is also starting to grow in and get real thick and curly, which momma just loves. The main point of this blog (since Muffin has her own website) is to give a daily account of everything she does, sees, says, and anything else momma feels like talking about. There will also be lots of pictures. It is my purpose to update the blog through out the day so that her friends and family can see what's new, on a regular basis.
