lazy saturday

April 7, 2007

i have been waiting for a day like today for a long time. almost a whole day with nothing to do. mallory let me sleep until almost 7 (too bad rick’s alarm went off at 6a) and promptly went down for a nap ~8.30am. i should have gone back to bed too but i am on a scrapbooking mission to get as caught up as possible. it’s practically blizzarding outside right now so i don’t feel guilty sitting here doing nothing :-)
yesterday was good friday so we sent mallory to daycare in her adorable bunny outfit that brendan & kaylie’s …

life lesson from a 6 year old

April 3, 2007

my nephew is unbelievable. i told him today that i don’t want him to get any bigger because if he gets older, i get older.
his wise response? “well, that’s just how life is.”
are you KIDDING me??!?!?!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
in other news, we have had a few days of teaser spring weather. they have been forecasting rain for days and days and it hasn’t really shown up as they’ve been threatening. today mallory & i stopped by the Michigan softball game for a bit (rick had some showing off to do…) and then we came home to play with cooper. with the lake thawed and …

look ma, no hands!!

March 26, 2007

today when i pulled up to mallory’s daycare, she was out for a walk in the parking lot. i started to giggle seeing her sitting in the 4-kid stroller and had to run back to the car to get my camera phone. when i came back, she had her hands up ~ it totally looked like she was in a roller-coaster car, saying “look ma, no hands!!!”

family photo

March 22, 2007

for as many pictures that we take of mallory, in the past 4+ months we have only taken two pictures of all three of us. so when we had mallory’s 3-mo pictures taken last month, we had some photos taken with rick & me too. here we are!! :-)

already a rinkrat

March 19, 2007

i had my end-of-season hockey tournament this past weekend and our team was hosting it again. this meant that our manager/captain basically lived at the rink for the whole weekend and mallory & i were there to help almost the whole weekend. mallory helped check in all the players at the sign-in table in the hospitality room and was very agreeable to being passed around to all of my teammates. we didn’t get super-great sleep out of her the nights after being at the rink but while we were at the rink, she was very enjoyable. it is so nice …

smart baby girl

March 18, 2007

i can’t help but brag about our smart baby girl…she is already reading!!!

coops, Mallory

food!!!

March 18, 2007

we got the green light from the pediatrician to start MC on rice cereal. i think it had more to do with spending the one-on-one time with her and less to do with her being “ready”. the pediatrician made some comments about both rick & i working and doing whatever we can to make sure that dinner time is special, etc. either way, i was excited to get started!
i had mallory take a little nap after her appointment which she was happy to do once i gave her a little tylenol (she got 3 shots again at this appointment) so that she …

mallory got hit by a train

March 16, 2007

so we got our first accident report from daycare yesterday: mallory got hit by a train. a slow-moving toy train, but a train none-the-less. she had a tiny red mark under her eye which was gone before i could get a picture. the bump looked appropriate seeing as how she is going to be a rinkrat all weekend!

i forgot!

March 13, 2007

i forgot to post that mallory made it to her first UM hockey game on Friday night! she LOVED it, except when Michigan scored. i don’t think it was because she was upset that UM scored, i think it was mostly because of the loud crowd. luckily we didn’t go to the saturday night game when UM scored 8 goals.
the best part is that she handled being up past her bedtime beautifully, thank goodness.

it's tough being 4 months

March 11, 2007

rick put mallory in her exersaucer today and turned around to start making himself some lunch. he came back to check on her a minute later and found her passed out in her seat. rough life, eh? maybe the time change screwed her up.
yesterday we had a playdate with one of my pre-natal yoga moms and her husband and their 7-mo old son Kyle. jen & i actually went to college together and ran into eachother at the yoga class (embarrasing for me because for as good as my memory is with regard to numbers and dates i am sometimes bad …
