Thank you, Trish.

   So what if all you eat some days is Cheerios, cheesies and dog fur....you still have energy and good colour to your skin.

  Anyways, now my days are filled with toddler adventures which for me means double the amount of exercise I've ever attempted in my life-time I think.

  Mabey now I'll lose that baby weight...LOL.

     Now you won't take the "boob" in the morning.....What the hell are you surviving on?   "Dust bunnies" do not have all the vitamins and minerals your body needs!...at least I'm pretty sure.    Mabey there's sugar in "dust bunnies" cause you sure have alot of energy.  If I knew the dog wouldn't eat them first...I'd throw some of those cheerios in the corners of the house and under the couch,  mabey then at least I'd know your getting some iron.

                                           Love Mummy.

Little miss monkey has learned the dreaded word "NO!". 

And not just the word "no"....it's allways "NO!" followed with the classic head swing to the side.  It's allways when I'm trying to feed her, and even if it's food she loves and I know she has to be hungry. 

Yes I admit it I was becoming a chronic "no" er...I see the err of my ways now that it's too late.God help me now....please

I think I am going to go into denial and blame my hubby...must be something he's taught her while I am at work...yes that's it I know it.

  I also have an advid walker/climber on my hands now and we are currently in the transitioning phase from two to one nap a day....it's LOVERLY really....I'm  soooooo exhausted I can barely keep my lids open...uggggghhh.  O well what can ya do... On the other hand, outings are much more fun now that she wants to walk and climb at the park.  She goes and I follow and she picks up the wood bits and tries to eat them and I wrestle them out of those mighty little fists..... like the mean, evil mommy I am.  Muahhaha.

What is my childs favorite book?

  Right now ....probably her bath book "Red Fish, Blue Fish"  because she eats all the other ones so we read this one religiously for now.

What is my favorite children's book?

  This is easy...I loved the "Sesame street dictionary set" when I was growing up and I found the same set in a consignment store in great condition while I was prego...so I snatched those puppies right up for $5.00 bucks ;)  I can't wait to read them to her when she decides reading books is more fun then eating them :)

What is my childs favorite thing to eat?

 Can't get enough Cheerios right now...but she loves plain yogurt too.

What is my favorite thing to eat?

I love grilled salmon teriyaki...and spinach salads.

What is my childs favorite toy?

Hmmmm....she loves any kind of ball right now...but her fav is probably the "Leap Frog Alphabet" magnetic fridge thingy....It is for meant for 2 years and up but she loves the song.

What is my favorite game?

I'm addicted to Texas Hold'em Poker.  I never play for money(unless it's friends), but I love playing it with cards, on the computer, on xbox360....whatever...I told you I'm an addict ;)

Soooooo...now I have to find some peoples to tag...hmmmm...who's left?  I tag Kric, Sistersarah55 and MommyOo05

   Actually I've been out shopping alot lately.  I have to go back to work next week...only part-time thank gawd cause I keep having these little panic attacks when I think of leaving Hayden  Anyways...the shopping bit is not fun!  Ya I know your thinking..."What shopping not fun??!!"  well it's not when your trying to make up a new work wardrobe to cover your extra butt (I'm a little tempted to bust out the adjustable maternity pants I tell ya).  But I won'tLOL.

  Anyways on the other hand I've recently invested in some Kushies AIO diapers and stuff.  I have been up untill this point a dedicated disposable mommy  So here I am with all this non-disposable gear and I've yet to try it.  It's scary being a "washable diaper" virgin you know!  Who knows what I'm going to encounter....there's all sorts of things that can happen...even if you do have the flushable biodegradeable thingy's.  I plan on still using disposables for outings and nights.  For outings because I am one of those moms that never seem to execute diaper changing with the certain ease and grace others have developed...we're all over the place and it's like my own personal hell for 2 minutes sometimes I tell ya.  For nights because we still wake up half a dozen times a night to breastfeed...enough said there.  Well I'm chalking this last bit up to the snotfest Hayden's been having lately...hopefully it's over soon..poor babe.  I'm in the process of washing before you wear so her cloth time is coming soon.....one question though..Do you need to have this pre-soaking pail thing going on right away?  Should I have the pail ready with the water and vinegar and just keep tossing the diapers in there till I'm ready to wash?  Please don't laugh...I seriously don't know  Okay you can laugh..but just a little...then tell me what to do!

  On another happier note...Hayden is well on her way to a walking pro now and I've invested in one of those Monkey Leads for when she starts running cause I can tell I'm allready in trouble when that starts happening  I'm telling you...Hayden has to be the most fearless reckless little human I've ever encountered  I've also realized that corner guards are useless and we are now resorting to adorning our corners we can't remove from the room with duck tape.  It makes for the cutest accents ....I can't wait till everyone comes over so I can show them off.  If I could figure out how to post pics on these damn blogs I'd show you!

  We've also encountered another road block (or is it?) on our journey to independent eater.  We will absolutely no longer eat baby cereal...so back off allready.  How the heck are you sapposed to keep shovelling this stuff into their mows till they're 2...ya whatever ....I just hope she's eating enough Cheerios to get her ironAnyways that's my life for the past couple weeks ...exciting isn't it I leave you with these words of wisdom now....

 "Folding is Futile"

  On another note...Hayden and I are off to the farmers market!  I love the farmers market but I hate crowds so I avoid it on the weekends but in the summer they are open on Tuesdays too!  Yay!

  The hubby and I took Hayden to the Butterfly Conservatory yesterday and had a great time with her.  She's really starting to notice things like that and it's exciting whenever we get to show her something new like this.  Great photo opp's too!

  Anyways....I want to get back to Minti immersion so have a great day everyone

  Anyways on another note....I really enjoyed my "one" beer last night which doesn't happen to often because I'm still bf'ding. 

  Still can't figure out the picture/blog thing, it keeps telling me I'm not logged in!?  Can anyone help?

   We also took "Baby and Me" water aerobics which I highly recondmend if anyone has that option around.  All the babies just float around in "baby rings" while you work out.  Most of them just fall asleep because it's so relaxing.  The only thing is that the optimal time for this is between 4-10 months because after about 10 months the babies just want to crawl out of the rings.

  So I've been trying to be more "domestic" (if that's the word) ever since I've been off work and yesterday I attempted to bake some Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.  First two batches went for "crap" but I think I got the hang of it for the last two and they turned out pretty good.  Working full-time 6 days a week for the last 10 years....I thought mabey I wouldn't be able to handle this "housewife" stuff but it's going pretty good so far. 

  Anyhow.........Just wanted to say Good Day Everyone!
