Potato Baby

Princess Pea's first try of mashed potatoes:
Initial thoughts: Gross!
Verdict after many taste tests: Yummy!

I am Grateful

Moment Captured

I was going through my pictures of Christmas for scrapbooking and just had to post this one. Princess Pea is looking at Mom and I thinking, "I don't know about this, are you sure this is the big guy?" And then click the pic was taken and a second later she looked at Santa and decided he was an imposter and started crying.

Little People 'n Christmas

As I packed up Christmas on New Year's Day with my mom- thank goodness she was there because with the Pea and my healing legs it would've taken days! - there was one thing I was loath to pack. Our new Little People Christmas Nativity set! It is a must have for all Christian moms! No worries about things getting broken and such a great teaching tool!

Here's a few pics from our Christmas:

Like the Sound of Your Own Voice

Well, Princess Pea definitely likes the sound of her own voice. Most people do. Most babies go through this babbling stage where they discover their own voice - my MIL said it would last about two weeks of fun squealing and such. The Pea did go through that stage, but loved her voice so much that she has continued noisily on for months. The best is when she can hear herself by shouting into something. She discovered this first at 4 months when she could lean into my bookshelves and yell. She loved sitting near the bookshelf and babbling into it. Then later, she discovered empty cups do a much better job! Now she will listen to herself for at least 10 minutes (which for her attention span is FOREVER!).

The Yuckies

This pic can't help but make me smile!
She's been sick this week - the kind of sick that makes Mommy clean up lots of different yucky messes. She's been sick before but not like this. It is hard when you can't tell her why she's not feeling good. But she is so sweet, even though she's sick. She is fragile and easily upset, but is quite good natured at the same time. I'm really lucky to have her.

5 a day!

Resolution: Be Healthier by having 3 veggies and 2 fruit servings a day which equals "5 a day"! I loved this clip I saw via Black*Eiffel - I don't advocate juice since I like whole foods better - but this clip is about having your "5 a day" and the parrot is absolutely FABULOUS!

The Art of Wonder

I am quite certain that if we were

to approach the world with as

much wonder as a child, then we

would treat each day a gift and

realize everything around us is a

divine work of art.

One of my goals for 2008: Wonder.

A Mom Must for Next Christmas

For just one dollar you can turn your little one next Christmas into...

SANTA MOUSE!

The fun doesn't stop there - it's a page turner! I'll leave you in suspense.

Blue is the new Green

You know how I LOVE LOVE LOVE COLOR. And so, I love this article by NY Times. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/20/fashion/20COLOR.html?pagewanted=1&_r=2
It is definitely an entertaining read. It makes me wonder if when I pick a new shirt next fall/winter will I pick iris blue to bring out my eyes or bamboo green to appeal to my warm coloring? I'll probably see the chili pepper red one (the color of 2007 if you didn't know) and get it. It seemse I can never have too much red in my wardrobe.

It's Wordless Wednesday....
