All About The Baby

I thought I would make a list of things that Vada loves and hates.

Vada loves-

To be swaddled, she's almost 9 months old and still has to be swaddled and nursed for bedtime. Although when I go get her in the morning she broken free and is usually asleep on her belly.

Food. Any food. The only things she does not like are avacado's and jarred potatoes and   I guess I could say she doesn't like the Ham and Turkey baby food but by the smell of them, I really don't blame her.

To nurse. She is definitely a comfort nursing baby. She likes to know that I'm still there and her food supply has not run out. My milk supply is ridiculous so she has nothing to worry about.

Her daddy- No matter what is going on, when daddy walks in. I'm invisible. It's really quite amazing. If daddy is in for the night she wants to sit on my lap and stare and smile at him. All. Night. 

Doggies and Cows- When we come home usually at least one dog is here and you can a cow moo or two. She loves to pet the dogs and try to kiss Sam. She really likes to stare at the cows.

Vada hates-

Being told no. We have started really getting into "No, Don't touch that. No, Vada don't eat that. No, Vada we share our toys". She doesn't like not being able to do whatever she wants.

When mommy leaves to go anywhere. I had Jeryl watch her while I went to the dr. and while I was gone she was good for Jeryl but did not like Grandpa Mark and Uncle Ryan talking to her. Little stinker.

Having pants on. If she could roam all day in a diaper, she would be as happy as a clam. But saying as it's 20 degrees outside, I'm a mean mommy and force her to wear some form of clothing and pants.

Her carseat. She's fine once she's in it. It's getting her strapped in and pinned so she can't move she hates. Which I can't say I blame her.

Bedtime.

Cousinly love

Today Vada was crying and Charlotte crawled over pulled Vada's sock off and tried to shove it in Vada's mouth. I don't think I have ever laughed so hard and Vada just looked so confused she stopped crying.

A little off topic but I have to get glasses. I went to the doctor today and found out I have astigmatism  and I need glasses to be able to see far away. And the black dots I've been seeing are due to fluid in my eye and the amount, it goes down a little but and the block dots appear then. Bit everything else looks good.

Clinton and I have started a new show called The Following and we are addicted.

 He and his dad are working on building another pond and they put our circle drive in! Yay! Next up, is the front porch.

Oh and only a week until Coheed's new album comes out, this is a big deal at my house.

Five, Six, Seven, Eight

I recently decided that I want to get back to my high school weight, while I'm not super far from it, I'm not exactly close.

Today, I found my new workout. It's called.....

Charlotte & Vada cracking up at me doing pikes, handstands and leaping splits.
(I can't do any of those things, so the sight of me attempting them is probably hilarious).

I am so sore already.

Time Flies When You're Having Fun

Clinton and I have been together for 3 years.

We went on our first date on January 2nd, 2010. Little late, I know.

We went on a double date with my sister Kelli and Clinton's brother Aaron. We went  to Applebee's and went bowling, which I won by the way.

I got spinach stuck in my teeth and Clinton farted on our first date, we should have known it was destiny.

Tonight we had a date without leaving the house to celebrate, since we have Kyle and Logan for the week we had to get creative.

So I had Kyle and Logan watch Vada while Clinton and I laid in bed and listened to Death Cab For Cutie and cuddled. It was fantastic, and those 15 minutes flew by.

The reason Death Cab is so important to us is because that was the first band we had in common that we both liked and they sing our song, "I'll follow you into the dark".

Happy Anniversary, dear!
