Movin and Shakin

Sorry to all of my loyal fans. We've been in the process of moving, so I haven't had that much time to keep you posted on my very exciting adventures. I've been a very good girl though. Taking nice long naps so Mommy can get lots of packing done.

The house looks really funny without any furniture in it and I like to scream and shout to hear the echo.



We leave for my first trip for "fun in the sun" on Sunday. I'll have tons of pictures to post of my first time in the pool and the ocean, and making sand castles. Maybe we'll even play with Maracas. Don't forget about me - I'll be back soon!

Blab Blab Blab

There's a lot to talk about these days. When Daddy gets home from work, I like to tell him about all my goings on. Now I have a whole bunch of noises I've added to the screaming. It's lots of fun to talk for hours at a time. Once I get to know you, I'll tell you all my little secrets.

Coffee, Tea, Me?

Mommy and I met our friends Beth and Sabine at Starbucks yesterday for coffee. Gotta say, I'm into it. I told everyone how much I was enjoying myself and the nice man sitting next to us had lots of fun. Sabine and I got to spend some time in the comfy orange chair. She's really into grabbing my face, but I was busy talking it up.

Mommy Speaks

This morning, I decided to have a go at making baby food. I took out the good mommy organic carrots, cut them up, boiled the crap out of them, pureed them to mush, added a dash of cinnamon and presto - SHE LIKES THEM!

We Don't Want No Stinkin'. . .

I've decided that I hate food. If it's not the boob, I don't want it. I'm sure some of you can relate.

As you saw from an earlier post, I don't like bananas http://catchingupwithrachel.blogspot.com/2008/03/yes-we-have-no-bananas.html. Avocados and apple sauce are okay, but forget about carrots. And that rice cereal stuff is for the birds.

It's much more fun to figure out ways to get the food out of my mouth than it is to actually eat it. There's the projectile food spit, the open mouth dribble out, the zerbert spray, and my all time favorite (and most effective) the tongue stick out and lick bib until food is off. Mommy can't reinsert any of the food if I use this method. I like to smile at Mommy with a full mouth while I figure out which way I'm going to get rid of it. While she's distracted laughing, I go for it.

Busy Days

We've been moving and shakin' the past few days! On the way to breakfast on Saturday morning, we passed a GREAT yard sale and Mommy and Daddy picked up a crib, including very pretty bedding, and a bike trailer for $50! I was so proud of them.

Then that night, we had my playgroup buddies and their parents over for a bar-b-que. This is a picture of my friend Luke and me and our Daddies.









Today was super exciting. Daddy decided to take some of the day off before the "big push" to get into our new house. I slept through the Indian food buffet, but then we took the new (old) bike trailer out for a spin on the bike path. It was a beautiful day. And check out how cute I look in my new shades. . .
