The Tooth Report
Mallory officially has two of her four second-year molars. It is interesting that the ones that are in are on the left side of her mouth (Rick’s mom will be happy because she keeps trying to encourage Mallory to be left-handed…)
And in case you don’t believe me about how lopsided her tooth production is – here is photographic evidence. Notice that there are five teeth on the right (her left) side of her mouth, and only four on the other side. Isn’t it crazy how the one is in all the way and the other doesn’t even look like it’s …
24 week photos
Oy. Holy huge. Here is my 24w photo:
And here is the progression to date:
Post title TBD
Well, so far this week the only exciting things that happened are that we got a DVR in our bedroom (I’m thinking forward to when I’ll be in bed a lot with the new baby next spring, resting, while Rick takes care of Mallory!) and a new DVR in our living room (the old one conked out…I lost about 10 episodes of Little People, Big World…dammit Jim). But the most exciting thing is that I got to out to dinner with some friends last night – without my family! Not that I didn’t miss them terribly during the inhalation of …
Going to work
This morning I was getting ready for work and Mallory kept interrupting me. I told her I had to hurry up to get ready to go to work and she told me that SHE was going to work too.
I asked her where she worked.
According to her, she works at a hockey game.
Mama, come cuddle me
Just as I sat down to the computer tonight to do some (apparently) long overdue blogging, I was thinking I would go with the boring “Weekend Review” title that I seem to use after somewhat uneventful weekends. But then Rick called me to the side door to show me something, and Mallory – who should be asleep but was at least quiet in her room – heard us and came to her door and said four little words that shattered my usual “shut up and go to sleep go night-night” resolve.
“Mama, come cuddle me.”
I mean SERIOUSLY. How do I …
ALL WAY HEY!
A no-explanation-needed video to kick off this post:
Add “tinkle lee-lee scar” to Mallory’s song list. Oh, you’ve never heard of that song? Perhaps you’ve heard an alternative version, titled “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star”.
* * *
With some of the sleep problems we’ve had lately, we thought we’d give Mallory an option of where she wanted to sleep – in her big girl bed or in the crib. I never in a million years thought she’d pick the crib – she always picks the big girl bed and we can usually get her to go to sleep after giving her the choice.
Sure, …
Thankful
I think I should (belatedly) share my list of things I am thankful for.
I am thankful that Rick & I both have jobs and a house and cars that run. I am thankful for the football season being over, even though we don’t get our Christmas vacation this year. I am thankful for my family living so close, even though they drive me crazy sometimes. I am thankful for the blob of Arlo in my tummy who moves almost ALL.THE.TIME and I would like to tell Arlo that even though I yell at him/her to SETTLE DOWN IN THERE, …
Funny Mallory-isms
Again, another quick post. I am disappointed that these aren’t more journaly but oh well. Here goes:
Coming home from school today, Mallory saw a house lit up with Christmas lights. From the back seat of the car she yelled, “LOOK – IT’S PRETTY!!!!”
Also on our way home from school – I asked Mallory what she thought Cooper was doing right then. Her response? “Eating my gocks (socks)”.
Cooper has a bad habit of running past us to get down the stairs and I’m afraid that one of these days he is going to knock Mallory over. He almost did …
