Just some stuff for the memory book

I have a few random stories that I need to get preserved before I forget them:

Mallory has started doing this little fake “haha!” when she’s playing. I must get it on video.
At the “bootball” game on Saturday, Mallory was making her little baby clap hands and give high-fives to my mom.
I am trying to get Mallory to actually say FOOTball and not BOOTball, so I’ll ask her to say foot, which she does, and then I ask her to say ball, which she does, but when I ask her to say FOOTBALL, she usually responds with BEETBALL – because normally …

The Pinecone Hunters

Mallory & I had a little field trip today to visit my pregnant friend Jen and her family (son Kyle & husband Ed). Jen is knocked up with triplets and is scheduled to deliver them in a couple of weeks. I haven’t seen her in real life since she was newly pregnant so it was a huge shock to see her today! I even got to see her bare belly and I have to admit that her bare tummy is way huger than her shirt-covered belly in her pictures. Wow. She is such a trooper and has a wonderful attitude …

Could today have been any more exciting?

I had a bunch of stuff to write yesterday but didn’t get to it (Mallory saying “eeyo” for “here you go” for one example). And then today Michigan had to go have a game for the record books (biggest comeback for Michigan in Michigan Stadium) so I have a whole bunch of different stuff to write about.
Oh. My. Gosh.
First off, we got to go see Rick on the field before the game.

Then Mallory & Gaga went running for the endzone to make a touchdown (and of course find the M).

And then we …

Mallory, rb, words

Wick

It must be an almost 2-yr old thing, because I just read on a friend’s blog that her almost 2-yr old son has started saying her first name instead of Mom.
Mallory is doing the same thing but with Rick. She’ll stand in the living room and yell “Wick! Wick!”
It makes me laugh.
It makes Rick grumpy.
Which makes me laugh more.

Mallory

A cure all?

Went to the doctor yesterday afternoon. After I described all of Mallory’s ills (see previous post) and after the doctor looked & listened to a bunch of Mallory’s body parts, it was decided that Mallory probably has a sinus infection. We got a prescription for Amoxicillan which, according to the doctor, will fix everything:

she shouldn’t still have the thick nasty drainage coming out of her nose; if it was just a cold it wouldn’t last over a week. so the penicillin will help cure the infection in her head, which will clear up her snotty nose, which will make her …

Best Movie Ever

[picture BD poster]
Mallory’s sleep issues reminded me of a quote from my favorite movie….

——————————
[Larry jogs out to the mound to break up a players’ conference]
Larry: Excuse me, but what the hell’s going on out here?
Crash Davis: Well, Nuke’s scared because his eyelids are jammed and his old man’s here. We need a live… is it a live rooster?
[Jose nods]
Crash Davis: . We need a live rooster to take the curse off Jose’s glove and nobody seems to know what to get Millie or Jimmy for their wedding present.
[to the players]
Crash Davis: Is that about right?
[the players nod]
Crash Davis: We’re dealing …

Mallory

Much better, thanks

Mallory showed improvement in the sleep category last night – she went down fine at bedtime again but then was up around 10.30p. Then Rick thought he had her back asleep and came upstairs but turned around to see her following him. That was sort of funny – I was almost back asleep myself and when I heard him say “What the hell????” while looking at the floor I thought it was because the dog pooped or threw up ~ but it was just his shock at finding Mallory almost at the top of the stairs…
Rick said she was farting …

Carmen & Oreo

[img 1549] -PICTURE
Mallory & I had a fun visit to my friend Amy’s house tonight (actually Amy’s mom’s house). They have two ponies, Carmen & Duke, and a black & white bunny named Oreo. This first picture is Mallory seeing Carmen head our way – she was a little bit afraid. I don’t think she ever even touched the pony at all. Then we went to see Duke who was in the pasture (I think that is what it is called?) and Mallory threw a couple of apple wedges to Duke who gobbled them right up. She was adamant about …

Surprise Playdate!

Mallory & Alli had a surprise playdate tonight! Alli’s mom had some crazy stuff go down at work today and called with to see if we could bring Alli home with us from school for a few hours. Of course I said yes – it is almost easier having two than just one!! Plus, Rick was with me since Monday is his light day so I figured it would be a fun evening.
When we got to daycare, none of the teachers knew we were taking Alli with us (even though Alli’s mom had left a voicemail), but they didn’t even …
