Hi, friends!!

1. Earlier this morning she ran off to the kitchen and was very quiet. After a couple minutes I went to go see what trouble she was getting into. I walked in and found her sitting on the floor with her legs under our raised dog bowls, playing with the mobile from her infant activity mat thingie. She looked so confused at why I cracked up laughing. I wish I had gotten a picture because it was way more funny than I’m making it sound...
2. Today, I just feel so lucky in general that I have such an amazing daughter. I woke up with a sense of deep satisfaction and peace and joy. Every day with her is so much fun.
3. We’re working on counting to three. She only says “two.” But she says it three times while doing things with her fingers that look vaguely like what I’m doing with mine. 😂
4. She makes diaper changing miserable these days. Not screaming, but as soon as we lay her down she scrambled to sit up. Sometimes distractions work, often not. Usually once I get the diaper open she stops and lets me do it, but fuck. It’s a lot of work to get to that point!
5. I just got off the phone: I got the promotion I interviewed for last week! I’m so excited and relieved and also a bit sad because it’s on another campus so I won’t see my friends as much.

QOTW: I’m a PNW girl, so my idea of the great outdoors is full of evergreens, ferns, glacial rivers, and mountainscapes in the background. Sigh. Now I’m homesick.

1. What hilarious thing(s) did your little do this week? (Give us a laugh!)
C totally threw DH ynder the bus this morning and it was hilarious. He (C) looks at me and says "you look pretty mommy" then turns to DH "daddy why were you gonna say she don't look pretty?" DH is all "WTF"

2. What made you go aww? (Happy things here!)
We got family pictures done this afternoon. During btrakfast C was "teaching" H how to smile for pictures. It was adorable.

3. What had you cheering them on? (Milestones)
No new milestones, unless you count C making his bed all by himself and without being prompted.

4. What made you want to crawl back into bed? (Challenges go here!)
Sleep is bad, teething is forever.

5. How you doin?
Good despite being exhausted. I feel like we are all in a good place.

QOTW: When you picture yourself enjoying the great outdoors, what landscape do you see in your mind?
Where I live is mountains and ocean and trees (think Ireland). I've lived elsewhere temporarily and really missed the ocean. So this is my great outdoors. Add in a firepit and we're set.

1. What hilarious thing(s) did your little do this week? (Give us a laugh!)
Oh the usual. The randomest things make him laugh. I sneezed this morning and it was a 5 minute giggle fest. I love it.
2. What made you go aww? (Happy things here!)
Spending time with mellyknu and her little minion. <3 <3
3. What had you cheering them on? (Milestones)
Started daycare this week.
4. What made you want to crawl back into bed? (Challenges go here!)
Started daycare this week.
5. How you doin?
Surprisingly well. Yesterday both MH and I took a personal day off of work and just enjoyed each other. It was nice.

QOTW: I miss the ocean so much from when I lived near it. Now it's prairie lands and cornfields. Thankfully we don't live too far off from bluff country and Canadian wilderness is only a few hours' drive away. I love pines and fresh air so much.

I’m legit LOLing at both of your funny things, danib and madamewaffles!

I feel like I missed at least two weeks with my crazy work schedule and kids.

Q
1. C and J
2. May 16 and July 17

1. I am going blank her but I know C did something that had me laughing when I should not have been...
2. J is smiling and laughing. C thinks it is the best. I caught her a couple times jumping around and clapping when she got a happy reaction from him.
3. C almost got on and off the couch by herself and J almost rolled on his side!
4. They both lose at the same time at night, kids I am tired too!
5. I think I would be better if I didn't have horrible allergies, they have never been this bad!

Q: mountains or beach

[dancerspose]

I officially can't wait until Z can talk and say ridiculous things!
