Wii all can have fun!

Muffin is enjoying mommy's wii fit too! She stands on it constantly! And she twists and bends...like mommy does?

Having so much fun!

Her face says it all doesn't it? She loves the swings. I love being able to share in her joy. I took muffin to the park today. Just a short trip. There were too many teenagers. I am developing a strong dislike for that she group! So obnoxious! But muffin? She didn't seem to mind their mischievous filled annoyance the way mommy did.

Uh oh! This is a bad sign!

Muffin is getting very adventure some lately. No fear! She'll climb on anything she can.

Getting into a tight spot!

Location, location, location!

Muffin doesn't seen to have a problem using the potty at grandma's house where her potty chair is in plain sight. So I decided to put her potty in the living room to see if we could get better results here at home. As soon as she saw it she wanted to use it...to no avail! Lol! Earlier when she pooped in her diaper we were in her room and she was making noises and patting on a bag of diapers sitting in the corner. I thought that was cool that she realized she needed to be changed. So far she has sat on the potty 4 times in about 10 minutes. No pee yet. But, she is wearing training pants so we'll see!

An update...

Muffin did go potty...right down her leg! So much for those training pants. She was soaked! Even her socks! Gross. She didn't seem to notice though.

Well...She just really LOVES the Avacado!

Muffin and I walked up to the farm market today. She likes to hold stuff while we walk around and shop, so today I handed her an avocado. She loves avocado. I don't know that she knows that the avocado in it's whole skin on state is the same green cubes that she loves to eat. She's also got a real thing with putting stuff in her mouth...and even more so when she is teething like she is now. We got up to the check out and I went to take it from her and realized she had been eating the avocado! SKIN AND ALL! Yeack! I said something to her about not eating it yet, and she stuck her tongue out for me to take the skin off of it. Weirdo. But all of the hens that were standing around got a good cluck out of it!

Molars!

Muffin got in 3 molars last week! You can see one on the bottom left!

Muffin has the Croup!

Tuesday night Muffin came down with the Croup! Not too terribly, but enough to keep her up from 12:45am till about 4:30am...demanding to be held sitting up. Unfortunately for Daddy, Daddy is who she wanted, not Momma. So, he sat up with her in bed for almost 4 hours and tried to sleep himself. It was a rough night. So, yesterday we took her to the doctor. She seems to be feeling better today. She's playing and being happy. She never did get a fever, and so far (knock on wood) her cough isn't severe. She seems markedly better today. I'm supposed to get her outside (I guess it helps with the cough) so we'll be going for a walk in a bit, maybe a jaunt to the park or shopping. She weighs 24lbs now. Daddy guessed that last week. Right on the nose! So this is Muffin & Daddy, waiting to be called back. She's eating a breadstick with the new molars she picked up last week! 3 ALL AT ONCE!! Last Thursday wasn't a very good day for her!

Remote control warrior in training!

Trying to sleep!

This is what the muffin looks like when she is sleepy or trying to go to sleep! Fingers in her mouth, playing with her ear. It's just so cute!

Plumb tuckered out!

Too much garage sale fun! Muffin is wiped out!

Eating oatmeal like a big girl!

This morning I let the muffin use a spoon to eat her breakfast! We had big girl oatmeal for the first time! She spent more time playing with it than eating and i'm not all that sure how much she liked the texture of the oatmeal! That surprised me a little. It was apple cinnamon and I added chunks of fresh pineapple, which she loves! But, every time I tried to give her a bite she'd make a face and turn her head! Go figure.

A monster in the cabinet!

Muffin got stuck in the cabinet this evening. Yes, I took her picture before helping her get out! She also helped me vacuum this afternoon by carrying the cord around behind me! What a ham!

Wiped out!

Muffin slept till 10am this morning. Usually she's up around 8am. I guess she was just wiped out from a very exciting Easter weekend. Who can blame her? Three Easter Egg Hunts? That's tiresome for a little muffin. We had such great fun watching her. This is such a fun age. She's been in a great mood all morning, which is wonderful for mommy! Right now she is playing with a box, because everything is a toy...well, except her toys, of course!

Eastered Out!

Muffin was plum tuckered out at the end of her exciting Easter holiday!! She fell asleep almost before we were down the road heading for home! Yes, the Easter basket handle is around her neck and she is sleeping! We thought this picture was priceless!

Easter Afternoon at Grandma's

Mommy couldn't resist and even though it was silly, Mommy bought me a new yellow Easter dress and a pink shrug. I looked so dang cute!!

So of course Daddy had to get his cute mug in the photo's too...

And then Mommy couldn't be left out...

We went to Grandpa and Grandma's house for Easter lunch. We ate Lasagna, City Chicken, Potatoes, Rolls, Corn, Salad and Cake! I love cake. Grandpa & Grandma also had an Easter Egg hunt for me, and I ran around and picked a few eggs up.

Grandma was explaining to me how to open the eggs up to get my treats out.

But I'm a pro...and I opened the eggs up with ease. Each time I opened an egg with a treat in it I was so surprised. Everyone had a great chuckle watching me.

I rolled around in the eggs too. Wallowed in them. That was great fun!

Then I had to stop for a quick play break in my kitchen, and to talk on my phone.
And then I spotted a little gift from Grandma & Grandpa!! And Grandma opened it up for me as I stood on my tippy-toes to get a better look.

Easter was so much fun!

Easter Morning

Happy Easter my little bird!!

Daddy and I hid a few Easter eggs for the muffin this morning before heading over to grandma's house for lunch. She came walking down the hall way with her little Easter basket in hand and spotted this egg right off the bat. She ran over to it and grabbed it. We placed one dollar bills in a few eggs because she has a real liking of money (who doesn't right?) and then we placed a few toddler treats in a few other eggs. She dug that. In fact, she liked the ones with the treats more than the ones with the money and if she opened one with money in it she seemed bummed out and would drop the money and look in the egg for a treat. And so it begins...

Then, she looked over and spotted her Easter "basket" which was really a watering can, sitting up on the buffet amidst a bunch of junk. We weren't hiding it for her, we just hadn't given it to her yet. So we were both really tickled when she walked over to the buffet and tried to get her basket down.

So we handed her the basket and the first thing she pulled out was this packet. They're Pringle's Stix. She loves these. I thought it was pathetic that she recognized the package, but hey. We also packed it with some fruit strips and twists and some money and two little wind up toys. She seemed to really like the wind up toys. One was a hoping bunny, the other was a car that spun in circles. It was noisy and she seemed a little freaked out by it.

Hunting for Easter eggs!

We took the muffin to the local activity center for their annual Easter egg hunt this morning! She was so overwhelmed but it was supper cute (and loads of fun for mommy!).

She even got a little help from a little boy who was nearby.

This is her Bunny face apparently.

Sniffing out nearby eggs? Priceless!

Oh LOOK! There's an egg! Yes, she did pick up a few eggs and put them in her basket.

And we looked for some more...

And then...there was this WEIRD dude!

She walked right over to him, and was cool about meeting the Easter Bunny...

...until he decided to hold her!!

Oh what fun!

Tongs! The next Tickle Me Elmo!

She's weird already!

This morning muffin wanted to wear her hat! Don't ask me why! She just kept trying to put it on herself and then fussed at me to do it! She's had it on ever since. Usually I can't get her to leave her hat on at all!

Muffin peekin' at L

This is Muffin peekin' at L through the window in the play castle at the Library today. Muffin's surprise at seeing her there was absolutely priceless. They both giggled down to their toes. It was just so cute!

At the library.

So, we're at the library. There is another little girl her who is exactly the same age as muffin! I am cracking up at muffins reaction to L. She ran over and took a puzzle from L. A few minutes later L took it back...muffin howled! She's never done that before. Usually she just looks at the and walks away. But she cried and cried. I couldn't help but snicker. Then a bit later L made some funny growling noise and muffin totally flipped out! She ran to me so scared and bawling! Now there is a little boy about 2 weeks younger. Muffin is mesmerized by him. She is just staring and staring! I love it!

My first Blog video!

This is a short snippet of me using a fork to eat my pork chops for the first time. I did this today during dinner, much to my parents delight and surprise! Daddy had to help me stab the meat, because though I was on target, I didn't have the strength to get it to stay on my fork! I was so delighted and chuckled down to my toes!

Using a fork!

Today I am using a fork all by myself! Pork chops never tasted so good!
