Riley and Sophie are too cute. The beach looks soo nice and I too needed the pick me up. Sophie is actually in her crib right now for the ever so elusive cat nap...however, she is not napping, but she's gonna stay in there for a little longer. I have had a bit of a day here too. I think shack wackiness---hee hee never heard it called that before---aka cabin fever has got to me too.
OK, just had to check on her she was upside down in the crib (head where feet usually go) with her head under the covers...thought it was a riot when I walked in. Ha, ha :evil:
I woke up this morning at 5am to go for a run by myself for once...I guess I am kind of practicing for when I go back to work. I really don't know how I am going to be able to "do it all". It was really nice though to be out in the dark peaceful, cold morning...with no running stroller. Although I love that thing, it weighs a ton!!!
Anyhow, the food talk really motivated me and I tried scrambled egg last night. She really liked it. Tried toast today and she loved that too.
Richelle and Ankie, Sophie is really into the finger food too. She would eat Cheerios until the cows came home if I let her...and it seems like any bread/grain product thrills her (toast, baby mum-mum's). But no, not eactly a balanced diet..oh yeah avocado and prunes and really that's about it so far for winners. We'll keep trying. Reading about all of the other trials and tribs with food is helping.
I was thinking since bread worked I might try some "french toast" bread fingers dipped in egg yolk mixed with ebm then fried? Anybody tried this yet? I am going to visit your post Lisa after I am done here to see your ideas. We are veggies over here, and I'm not sure meat subtitutions (soy) are ok. I'll have to check with the doc.
OK, so does anyone else's little one screech? For some reason the screeching thing just drives me up a wall. It's frustrating because it's not crying, but it seems like something's wrong but what?? Agh, it's so annoying.
Hayley-congrats about Daniel and the bottle. I hope you have a wonderful outing.
Sippy cups--Sophie is also very slow to take to it. Some days she'll try and I think we've got it, then the next day she'll have none of it. hmmm.
Dh has worked late the last two nights. He's on his way home now, thankfully, although I suppose I could have chatted if he stayed late tonight. Maybe I'll try to catch you ladies for a few minutes.
There's something about the late afternoon A time...from the last nap till bed (with no cat nap)..that I just dread. It's my own fault though, should've gotten out with her for a bit.
Oh there's so much more but really this is long enough...I always chuckle when you ladies write that your posts are long because I mena really, mine are loooong. I really hope it's not annoying. My dad always used to say, of himself that he was vaccinated at birth with a phonograph needle...I guess I take after him.
Take care.
