M walks

You know, sometimes it's the little things like trying to twist on the milk cap, but the cap won't twist right, then falls off and rolls away, and you splosh milk then finally get it all together and put the jug back in the fridge- all one handed, while holding a screaming baby, that can really get to me.

Megan told me today that my blog sucks....don't worry it wasn't really mean. She just wants me to write more, or add pictures....anything. Good advice. You all know me though. Procrastinate procrastinate...etc.

M can walk now. Yay!! right? I haven't made up my mind yet. It took a couple of times of letting go of the furniture, leg, wall, or dog she was holding on to and making a few face plants, some tears, and hugs, and now she's well on her way. She just wonders around the house now, sometimes crawling, sometimes walking, whichever suits her fancy. It is absolutley amazing how fast this is all going...I'm still working on accepting the fact that I'm a mom, and she is stacking up the things I'll need to work on next. But I love her more than anything and is a lot of fun.

Stranger Danger

Ok. So, we've talked to M about strangers a bit, telling her to be safe and what not. A couple of times she brings it up when we say no she can't do something and she says "because there are stangers?" or some such. We haven't talked about it recently, but apparently the message stuck: We were at Wal-Mart, had just finised checking out and J went to use the restroom and M wanted to get a drink from the water fountain -I was still a few steps behind, so M said "Mom will you come a little bit closer?" and I said yes, and she continued "because you wouldn't want a stranger to grab me." I smiled and said "No I wouldn't like that." And she said "You would say 'oh no! someone has taken my child!" At which point I couldn't help but laugh and tell her how much I loved her.

Clearance Puppy

This has been a really crazy weekend. Thursday J got a call from a breeder he had been speaking to 3 or 4 months ago. We were going to go look at a puppy of his (with no real intention of buying) back then, but when we called the breeder said he just sold the last female 2 hours previously. Then on thursday he called to tell J that a buyer backed out last minute and J has first chance at getting her, so Friday we went to see her. She was discounted for us (and b/c she is older now, I think) and much more affordable - and so we brought her home, and her name is Sugar. Sug (shoog) for short. She is very sweet and calm, and listens really well. She is a yellow lab, and for all of you who have read the book or watched the movie - yes, we bought the "clearance puppy"! And actually we stopped at Blockbuster to return some movies and a big Marley & Me poster was in the window and M said :"Is that a picture of Sugar?" - I hope not! Saturday was the last 50 cen...

End of the week

This week has been lots of fun. J's mom, step-dad, sister and nephew all came to stay with us for the week. We've had a lot of fun visiting, playing games, and swimming. I'm so glad they came to visit us, aaallll the way from Idaho! We're lucky they had the time and all came! They are leaving in the morning because his step-dad has to work sunday afternoon! Crazy wonderful people. On another note, tomorrow J and I will have been married 3 years. I can hardly believe it's been three years....absolutely wonderful. I have never made a better decision in my life!
