Month: June 2008

I have been bad about taking pictures but good about collecting stories. Here goes:

I’ll ask Mallory “who am I?” and she’ll yell “mama!”. So I ask her who she is – she points to her nose and says “BABY!”. We can point to Rick or Cooper and get her to yell Gaga or buhbuh. It isn’t such a big deal that she knows who we all are – but it’s beyond adorable that she points to herself on the nose and says baby.
Yesterday when Alli showed up at school, Mallory was in the midst of her breakfast of yogurt and …

I’ve been feeling a little under the weather the past couple of days – today is probably the worst – it’s just a little cold and I am exhausted. Mallory had something last week – a runny nose and a bad cough.
One of my co-workers just came in and asked if I was sick and if I caught something from the “little booger-eater”.
LMAO.

This was my conversation with Mallory this morning as we walked out the door of the house:
MCB: “MAMA!” (while pointing to my car)
STB: “yes, that is mama’s car”
MCB: “BABY!”
STB: “yes, baby (Mallory) is coming with me in my car to go to school”
MCB: “YAYA (Alli)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Mallory officially graduated from the infant room to the toddler room at daycare. She had spent some in the toddler room before her graduation so it wasn’t totally new but Monday morning she was a little out of sorts when we hung her bag up on her new hook and put her food in …

Okay, so I love this new website thing I have going on. I know full on that I am a dork, geek, nerd, whatever you want to call me. Bring it.

Rick is busy with football camps so I am on Mallory duty all day everyday this week. We had killer shrimp for dinner – YUM! Well, I had killer shrimp and Mallory had a boca burger and two bites of my shrimp. Luckily she only wanted two bites – the way that kid eats I could have been left with the dipping sauce for dinner. I can only …

First – to give everyone an update on the “media guide photo shoot” from yesterday; I guess only the coaches’ family pictures will be in the media guide. Everyone else will just have their family picture up in Schembechler Hall. So I got myself all worked up about this for no reason. Oh, and Mallory didn’t smile in ANY of the pictures – she had the deer in the headlights look in every single picture. That was way cool.
BUT – the highlight of the photo shoot trip to Gaga’s work is that Mallory gave both Rich Rodriguez and his wife …

Here is a picture of the welts Mallory gets from bugs or spiders or something. I don’t notice them on her before I take her to school, so I’m guessing she is getting at least some of them at school. Great. Poor kid. They don’t bother her much but sometimes she itches them and then when they are healing we put neosporin on them to help them heal. Any advice from other moms out there would be appreciated.

UPDATED AGAIN TO ADD: Rick has completely vetoed option #1/A, wouldn’t even let me get it out of her closet this morning to bring as a possible based on my very scientific vote I am running via this blog.
UPDATED TO ADD: Said media guide picture will be in black and white…
Which outfit should Mallory wear tomorrow for a family picture that might go into a media guide for my husband’s work? We were instructed to wear “country club casual. I will probably wear a khaki skirt and a button down shirt, Rick will probably wear khaki shorts and a blue …

First off – Mallory is a STINKER. Lately, when I ask for a kiss and I lean in – she leans in too and then at the last second, turns her cheek so I give her a kiss on the cheek. This quickly turned into a game – what a little brat!

New words – bubbles and bite. Bite can mean she wants a bite of our food or she may be pointing to one of her many bug bites. Also boo-boo – where she points at one of her big welts that then got gooey and we have …
