tonight

here a few pictures of how we killed time tonight since my honey didn't get home til 10.

from nursery... found in the junk drawer

in the tent

invented tonight.  and we call it the "fat bunny" face.

hmm too bad this got zoomed.  baby looks super cute.

oh how i love my baby's blues

and of course when we get the self timer working and the camera isn't zoomed.... we get the fat bunny face again.

she loves this new thing where i lay on the floor and she bounces up and down on my stomach.

and then occasionally she'll lay her banana down on my stomach in between bites.  fabulous.

life doesn't get any better than this.

i got burned out yesterday.  so i took the rest of the day off from life.  and today as well.  haven't answered emails or worried about other stuff i have to do.  i kept baby in her pj's all day and we didn't even leave the house.  i cleaned out my junk drawer, picked up the whole house (minus the craft room... because it's a disaster... but i did make a tiny bit of progress in there), cleaned out my car, and did dishes.  with baby girl, i read tons of books... and ummm, actually i think that's it.  i'm pretty sure the only thing she wants to do is read books.  oh, and sing and dance.  all day long we just read and sing and dance.  i realized this late this afternoon and decided i should pull out some play dough i bought for her a long while back.  i figured she's old enough to not be messy with it and to not eat it if i told her it wasn't food.  well... she's not ready for it yet because it went exactly how things went with crayons the first time i gave her a shot at those.  literally to a T.

hand baby crayons/play dough and show her how it works.  let baby try it.  pull it out of baby's mouth and tell her it's not for eating.  show her once again the proper way to play with it.  give her a minute... look away for a milisecond... freak out... pry baby's mouth open to dig out crayons/play dough... baby cries and screams.  try to reintroduce crayons/play dough again in a very positive way.  not happening because baby is still terrified and traumatized.  so i guess i'll do what i did last time and wait a few weeks months.

i wouldn't feel so bad except i'd totally hyped it up and told her about this new and fun and exciting activity we were going to do together.  i'm sure she's thinking to herself "MOM, just stick with FOOD."

better luck next time.
