Here is our funny little girl waking up in the Friday morning. I thought we had a few years before she didn’t want to wake up to go to school?

She's soooooo ladylike…
So, I just went to check on Mallory and this is how I found her:

Forgot to post that Mallory & I went to see my friend and her 8+ mo old twins. My friend asked Mallory if she wanted to take a baby home with her to get used to having a baby in our house. The whole rest of our visit, Mallory was saying “baby, home?” and we’d ask her which one she wanted to take with us and she’d always point at Jake. And then our whole trip home, she’d ask me “where babies go, mama?”
It’s …
Hmmmmmm….
So, Mallory’s new thing is “What dat, Mama, hmmm?”
I am trying to pay attention more when I talk to her to see if she picked it up from me. But it is so funny to hear her say “hmmmm?”.
She also says “K” for OK all the time. It is hysterical. She says it 100 times more than she says yes and it’s another random thing that we are trying to figure out how it made it’s way into her vocabulary.

This week has been somewhat uneventful. Rick didn’t have work Sunday night like he normally does, but did on …
Since I’m up
Rick ran out to get some ice to make smoothies at like 10.30p or whatever and just called to tell me that my H^&T#J()UD)*&#^$^*#(&)&^ car died – like just shut off while he was driving. That it smells like gas, looks like there is a puddle of gas under the car, and that it sounds like gas is pouring out of the engine as he is trying to start it (and I had 3/4 of a tank of $4.50/gallon of gas in there).
Out.Stand.Ing.
He is about two miles from our house. With the dog. Mallory is asleep. So was I.
Have I …
I'm back!
I made it home from Austin and successfully avoided the hurricane that was heading that way.
Here is what has happened last week:
Cooper usually went to my dad’s house for the day. One day when Rick & Mallory went to pick him up after bootball practice, Mallory and my dad got into an argument about who’s name is Mimi. My dad kept pointing to himself saying “Grandpa!” and then pointing at Mallory saying “MIMI!” and Mallory would get SO MAD and would point at him and say “NO – YOU MIMI!”. My dad said this went on for a few minutes …
You know what isn’t sweet?
It’s not so fun to be across the country from your darling baby (or so you thought…darling my a$$) and when asked if she misses her mama, she answers “NO!” and starts laughing.

Fun game Saturday. Wasn’t nearly as hot and Michigan won so that is way better than last week. Rick’s dad was in town for the game (and to see Mallory I think!) and it was wonderful how quickly Mallory warmed up to him, since she hasn’t seen him since January 1 and even then it was only for about an hour.
The tailgate started early again this week (8a for those of us who were on time, ahem) and Mallory ruled the tailgate like a pro again. She loves to sit in her Lil Wolverine tailgating chair with her sippy cup …

This Saturday was a little better than last – not so hot, Mallory took a nap during the game, Rick got home before Mallory’s bath/bed time AND Michigan won their football game – yeah!! I’ll post the football pictures and stuff under a different post. And there will be a long post on the Arlo blog this week too…stay tuned.

I’m heading to Austin right now (sitting in the Chicago airport, but will be in Austin when this finally gets published). Mallory was cute when I told her I was going on a trip – she kept saying “ME …
Buhbuh, ME!
The latest funny thing to come out of Mallory’s mouth is when she is doing something (brushing her teeth, playing with her sunglasses, etc), she tries to show Cooper what she’s doing and says “Buhbuh, ME!” as in “Hey Cooper, check out what I am doing!”. Cooper never pays any attention to her but it’s still funny to watch her try to show off for him.
And tonight after her bath, she went running into her room and heard Cooper coming up behind her. She stopped at the doorway of her room and held up both of her hands and yelled …
Flashdance
I think it was the movie Flashdance where the chick wore her clothes off the shoulder?
Here is what happens when Mallory tries to finish getting herself dressed:

Phew. I am finally relaxing. Yesterday was hectic with trying to get the laptop back up & running. Then once I got the laptop ready and re-installed the blogging software, I was having blog-publishing issues until 11.20p last night. That’s the engineer’s daughter in me – I couldn’t sleep until I figured it out but I finally gave up when it was two hours past my …
