Little’s verbal skills and vocabulary are developing and growing at an amazing rate. Recently she has begun putting together 3-word sentences. Her current sentence of choice?
“My get scissors.”
Uh, no, Little not get scissors!
On the recommendation of Lu, I decided to start my babywearing career with a Sleepy Wrap. I’m so glad I chose this carrier; we both love it! I pop Boo into it and he is usually off to sleep in no time riding along all snug and cozy against my chest where he can hear my heartbeat. It is so nice to have him close and not to carry the huge (and heavy) infant seat everywhere we go. I’ve worn him at the mall, at the park, in church, out to dinner, at the bookstore, and playing outside.
I am officially a babywearing Momma and loving every minute of it!
Things are going well around here.
Enjoying the pretty weather – playing outside, walks, trips to the park.
Not getting as much sleep as I’d like (on that note, why does the 3 week old growth spurt hit right at the height of sleep deprivation? That only adds insult to injury).
Managed to clean the kitchen (except for mopping) and dust part of the living room today – progress on the housekeeping front.
Looking forward to a visit from Matt’s parents this weekend.
Hope you’re all having a good week. I’ll try to have some real content to post in the next day or so.

Last night (Friday) I was making a grocery list and, thus, had the pantry open to see what we needed. When it was time to go pick up our pizza, I failed to shut said pantry door and turned my back to the girl while I got money to pay for the pizza. Matt was in the living room writing a tweet on Twitter. When Matt came into the kitchen he found Little squatted down in front of the pantry with her hand in a bag of coffee beans. The coffee was open, and there was evidence all over Little’s mouth of her having eaten at least one bean. I mean, really, what 21 month old eats coffee beans without making a noise at the taste or spitting them out? (I really wish I had a picture of her with her hand in the bag of coffee; It was just too cute.)
And then today: Lately Little has gotten really annoyed when she has dirt (or sticky or anything) on her hands or feet. So, this morning she was sitting in the living room floor and said she had dirt on her foot. I told her that it was okay, just to brush it off. She hopped up off the floor and headed down the hallway; next thing I know I hear the bathroom drawer open and close. I called to her and asked what she was doing about the time she was coming down the hallway with my hairbrush in her hand. She sat back down on the floor and proceeded to use the hairbrush to brush the dirt off her feet. As Matt said, she was just doing what I told her to do. Guess I need to think through my instructions a bit more carefully in the future.
Sometimes (okay, often) that sweet little girl really makes me laugh.
