4 blocks and holding...

I bought baby einstein blockes for Victoria. I have been looking for cloth blocks for awhile now. Target was the place that I found them and for a good price.

2 rattle, one vibrates and one quacks. No, I didn't buy them because the yellow one quacks when you squeez the duck, that was just an added bonus. Michael was playing with her one night, showing her the blocks and what they can do. So he hands her a block and much to our happiness, she holds on to it and trys t bring it to her mouth...then she got mad cause it didn'd fit.

All in all, she likes the blocks and I love to watch her with them. I put them in her lap when she's in her highchair or on the floor or in her bumbo seat. Still waiting for her to find her feet.

Other than that, same old same old...until next time!

4 Alarm Blaze

Ok, so this doesn't look that bad...but this was right before the flames went out. This recipe called for 4 shots of alcohol then I had to set it on fire. Yeah...I was sooo ready to call 9-1-1. I had to keep taking it off the stove in fear that it was going to set the microwave on fire.

The steaks came out great. Both Michael and I were impressed by it. Will I be tying this again??? Maybe, but next time I will have someone here to videotape it. You gotta see this from the start, it's awinspiring and scary all wrapped into one meal. Even Victoria was impressed by the flames.

Michael even offered to buy new pans for me for cooking. Sadly I got excited at the prospect of new pans to cook with. The ones that we have now are a little warped, but still work great and can handle anything that I can throw in them...and that takes a lot cause sometimes I suck at cooking and forget about things. Yeah...I even burnt a pot cause I forgot about the water boiling in it. Go ahead, laugh, you know you want to. I did...well, not right away anyway!

3 months and counting

Michael and I took Victoria to Sears portrait studio last weekend to have some pictures taken. We had a wonderful time and only had to do 1 picture over again. Is that some kind of record or what...I mean with me...better block off all day. i hate every picture that is taken of me, not this kid.

Anyway...a few of those pictures are uploaded ont her picture place...go take a look...one of them is guarenteed to make you laugh!!!

Yeah, that's the one that I was told I couldn't have Sears print to send out to family, go figure.

almost 4 month check-up

Monday we went to see Dr. Bell for Victoria's 4 month check-up and learned some interesting things about her!
1- she still has a small head
2- she now weighs a wopping 12 pounds
3- she is 24 1/2 inches long and growing

the last things...we can now start her on solid foods. Yeah, and I thought formula was messy. We bought rice cereal to give it a go and it was a no go. She decided that she wanted her formula instead. Instant gratification. I will keep trying everyday to see if there is any change. Can't wait.

Oh, yeah, she also got her shots and once again came through like a trooper...until we got home that night, then she cried and cried and cried, that is until daddy came home. Go figure. i guess she wanted someone else to look at, not that i blame her...even i get tired of hearing my own voice. Someday I will get to hear her voice instead!
