monday monday

today was a great day.  we slept in, quilted with my mother in law and sister in law, hung out, napped, and watched the bachelorette.  anyone else out there rooting for jef?

anyways, here are pictures.

i've been loving this quick and easy patriotic breakfast for the past week.  for the record, eggo waffles can taste delicious when accompanied by butter, syrup, whipped cream, and fresh berries.  adding the nutella to that is over the top and will make you want to barf.

as mentioned yesterday, shoes don't fit in the highchair so they get ditched on the floor for mealtime.

brown pair is mine, black pair is honey's.  and books aren't allowed in the highchair either.  ironically, this book on the floor is a library book (always are kept in a safe pile upstairs by the glider where we read) about treating books well.  read it, don't eat it!

this was baby girl's version of breakfast.  when possible, she gets the healthier version of whatever i'm eating.  unless it's eggs... then we get the same thing.  or unless i eat cake or candy for breakfast... then she gets oatmeal.  today it was plain waffles, blueberries, and two boiled eggs (she still won't eat the yokes... but then again i didn't either until i was in highschool or something).

she is obsessed with boiled egg whites.  anyone have any suggestions for uses for boiled egg yokes?  because i normally just throw them away...

i showered before baby girl got up this morning.  i always let my hair air dry almost all the way because i hate blow drying, it's colorado and it only takes about four seconds, and it's healthier for my hair.  actually only the first two are true.  the last is just an added bonus.  so after breakfast i asked baby girl if she wanted to come help me do my hair...

she eagerly ran to my bathroom and brought me my straightener.  this girl knows the drill.

then she ditched her shoes,

looked around for more,

and then headed off to find more...

running really, really fast.

 i actually kept track of the shoe thing this morning.  well, for the first little bit.  baby girl slept in today and i didn't get her out of her crib til after 10am.  probably 10:15ish.  when i looked at the clock at 11:50, i counted up the number of pairs of shoes i'd seen her wear already that day.  total count in the first hour and a half of her day?  SEVEN pairs of shoes.  and i actually didn't help her put on a single pair... all of those were shoes that she managed to find and wear on her own.  also, we never left the house and a good portion of that hour and a half was spent eating breakfast in her highchair.  and of course she wore most of the shoes more than once... seven is just the number of different pairs in the picture.  

and just in case you noticed, yes, her shirt does indeed have shoes on it.
