101 Posts

Aw man! Did you know that my last post was my 100th post?! I was going to do something special, but alas...I guess posting about Xmas with the fam is special, right?  OK, now let's aim for the 201st post I guess. 

Book update while I'm thinking of it; am 2/3 of the way done with A Lion Among Men. Kind of slow going, but my plans of completing the book this weekend were thwarted with Erich's, "I don't have the flu" flu. Whatever, if you're in the bathroom more than not, it's not normal. 

Harper has discovered so many new words and phrases lately, you can really tell she's picking things up from the new room she's in at daycare.  Here are some of her favorites: No, Mama, Daddy, Abbey, Go Away, Please, Bubbles, milk, Elmo, Olivia, BYE!, Hi!, Grandma, Pa-pa and numerous other jibber jabber things we've yet to identify. She loves Elmo right now, and not just Sesame Street, but Elmo. I did get her to settle for Cookie Monster, and she does the most adorable impersonation of him, it's fabulous.
Sorry it's sideways, not sure how to fix that.

Things have been pretty low key, but as always we're starting to get busy with plans.  The month is full of birthday celebrations, a couples shower in York, a playdate in Omaha, and a girl's night. Very excited! And hopefully February and most of March can go quick to get us to March 23rd for the Hunger Games movie release!!! So stinking excited.  If you haven't read them, trust, you need to. If you have a nook, I can loan them to you. It's very easy.

Here are a few pics from my phone. The first few are from this past weekend; Harper was dressed very interestingly. Enjoy and have a good week!

What the heck's a woombie?

So, today's post is dedicated to the freaky baby items I've found online (we are not expecting, but are expecting to be expecting sometime this year, so I wanted to check out the market on baby stuff). I'm not saying this stuff isn't useful, it may very well be the best item there is, but I think they're weird. And so, in no particular order... * Nosefrida Nasal Aspirator: it's a doctor invented and doctor recommended snot sucker. An electric snot sucker. With built in filters. My question is, who is changing said filters? Not me, thank you. Then again, with the manual ones I bet you have to empty them somehow. Eww. Also, this doesn't actually go into their nose, it sucks it all out from the base of the nostril--that sounds like fun. Oh, and did I mention the suction is coming from your mouth? * Zaky --the tag line? It's like leaving a part of you with your baby. Yeah, if you have big creepy muppet hands maybe. I think the picture says enough about t

September is here!

Well, it's practically here. Where did August go? Where did the summer weather go? I don't care, it's Fall weather here in Nebraska and I hope it's going to stay well into November. Ahh, September, it's my favorite month...and not just because it's my birthday month 29 on the 9th, it's kind of a golden birthday-9/9/09, so that means extra gifts, right? Right. We are very busy this month. This weekend is the first Husker game of the season, so my mom and I are getting out of dodge to visit my sister (I am displeased to learn that my brother in law is renting the game, I can't escape it!). We're going to a pirate festival, and a carnival, and to this awesome little kitchen store in downtown Independence. So excited for family fun. My nephew told me I can sleep in his bed, but only if I wear underwear...um, deal? Erich has many options that weekend, we have an engagement party in York, going to the game, watching the game...who knows how crazy he'll

One week down

Well, today marks a week that we've been home with Harper, and I've got to say, I think we're doing pretty well. She eats and sleeps good, and really at night were averaging 4-5 hours of sleep. My pain is slowly going away, as is the swelling in my legs. I'm on a weigh restriction for a while yet, and can't carry Harper up or down stairs, which in our house is a problem since it's a tri split level...Luckily we have family to help out, and I can camp out on the upper level now that I can sleep in our bed again. See you later uncomfortable recliner! Harper is awesome. She makes the best faces, and is such a scowler! She is definitely my kid. This photo was taken of me the day I was born, and I can't believe the resemblance to Harper, especially the hand placement, since that is generally where her little fist is. Erich goes back to work on Monday, I can't believe how quick this first week went by. At first I thought it was taking forever, but now
