Day 66 - March 7

I'm a day late for yesterday's post...

It was ravioli day here for lunch yesterday. For the kid anyway. She likes ravioli (ravioli-oli-oli). A lot.

Day 65 - March 6

Another kid picture, taken with my Hipstamatic App on my phone. I love this App.

Somehow I managed to actually catch her looking right at the camera, too. That almost NEVER happens!

Day 64 - March 5

It rained today. A lot. According to one website I just found, Mobile is the 5th wettest city in the United States. It doesn't rain often, but when it does, it's a LOT.

So, desperate for something to do to keep the kid happy after a day in the house yesterday, and needing to drive over to the Eastern Shore to run an errand, we decided to visit Kangarooz, an indoor bounce-house place.

Michaela was a little hesitant at first, but eventually figured out what kind of fun she could be having.

Unfortunately, I just grabbed the point and shoot and it didn't like the indoor weird lighting or the moving kid, so the picture's not the best quality, but it's the best shot I got of her actually doing some jumping and not just at the tail end of a fall!

Day 63 - March 4

I couldn't NOT use this picture today. I had a few that would've been adorable, or made you go, "Awwww, what an adorable little girl!" But this one was the one.

It was cool-ish out today and pretty breezy... a perfect day for opening the windows and letting the fresh air in (until it started raining and the rain was coming in every window). I had no idea that open windows - and the ledges that were exposed because the blinds were up - would be such a magnet for a toddler looking for a place to play. She started in our front window, banging on a cookie tin, and then discovered the billowing sheers in the living room.

When I caught this picture, she was looking through the sheers, saying, "Hi, Mommy!!!" What a character!!!

Day 62 - March 3

This has been my view the last four afternoons. I'm going it alone this week while Jason does some cross-country sightseeing, so I've had to handle the dog-walking solo. It's super fun to balance a dog who needs to be into everything while also keeping a toddler, who didn't really want to go in the first place, happy.

It was a lot easier to deal with Jason being away when I was working. I'm just sayin'. I'm also saying I'm a huge wimp - I'd NEVER be able to do this for longer than a week or two at a time. Never. Never.

Day 61 - March 2

Wanna know what happens when you're roughly 19 months old and you decide that you want to "be bug" for a day? Your mother interrupts your afternoon snack by following you around with a camera to try to get the perfect shot of your awesome ensemble.

Sadly, very few of the 20-ish pictures I took turned out usable at all since it was overcast outside today and I just couldn't get the shutterspeed up enough to keep up with a wiggly toddler. But she paused just long enough for me to snap this one when she was trying to figure out how to get on her rocking chair while holding a banana (see it sitting on the seat) and a cup at the same time.

This outfit went on as soon as she got up this morning and only came off for our morning outing (thankfully) and naptime. It went right back on after her nap and stayed on through a walk with the dog. She must've gotten warm because we went back to regular clothes after the walk.

Day 60 - March 1

Two months down... only 10 to go!!

And today's picture is of the kid, though I had taken another spring flower one as well. But I need to put one of her up here to remind myself that I still like her after the afternoon/evening we had.

Here she is on the swing, showing off her new talent. She ran to the swings today and said, "I fly birdie! I fly birdie!" So, there ya go... flying like a bird! (Taken with my Hipstamatic app!)
