This is my life
I had to laugh yesterday. I was sitting in the backyard watching my daughter & my dog and realized that this is my life and it’s pretty funny. My kid was playing with her new Little Tykes car and the dog was trying his damndest to get a tennis ball out from under the deck. He turns his head & shoulders sideways and starts trying to sneak under the stairs. He never gets the ball but he does end up with a lot of cobwebs and dirt all over himself.

My friend picked up the car for Mallory at …
Silly videos
Here is Mallory talking about dreams (we call them “movies in your eyes”):
EVERY SINGLE TIME we ask her about her “movies in her eyes”, she makes that funny face like she really is trying to go back and see what she dreamed about.

And the beginning and end of this video, when she is blinking all funny – I was winking at her and she was trying to do it too. Hysterical.
An 18-mo Performance
We’ve been wanting to get all of Mallory’s “tricks” on tape for a while. She has her own style of saying/doing things right now and I never want to forget any of it. Here is a little montage of her showing off what she knows. Enjoy.

Brave This
Here is Mallory, completely fearless at the water fountain in Florida.
Kick me
Here is the video I promised from last night. In the beginning (when Mallory is in & out of the frame) she is going over to pretend to get baby wash and shampoo – then she goes and slaps, I mean washes, her baby’s head.
At the end of the video she is on her back kicking – this is a HUGE step. She HATES being on her back in the pool and in the tub so the fact that she was on her back without me holding her hand is a big deal.
It’s sort of a long video – over …
A Well-Rounded Weekend
I have to declare this weekend a success.
Friday night was low-key family night and Rick & I got to watch Survivor from the night before.
On Saturday Rick got a “Rick Day” – I took Mallory with me to a baby shower (where she was darling and well-behaved, I might add) and Rick got to go mountain biking. After that, Rick & our neighbor got half of the dock put in (so we are one step closer to getting our boat in the water!)
Saturday night we went to dinner at Mallory’s BFF’s house. It took the girls about 1.2 seconds to …
Digging for gold
This is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time.
Enjoy.
Disclaimer – I turned around to look at her and she had both fingers up her nose. Then I had to dig in my purse for the camera and we had to get her to do it again. So this isn’t the original but merely a re-enactment. But it still makes me laugh out loud.
Mallory & Cooper at the Lake
Just a little video from this past week…watch Mallory clap her hands and try to call “buh-bah” in from the lake. This video is sort of long and most of you could probably care less, but it is pretty cute to watch.
Safety Girl
We had a big project today – we needed to finish installing the new storm door and Mallory wanted to help, which meant sitting on Rick’s lap while he drilled some holes. But we told her she needed safety glasses on if she was going to be that close to the drill, etc.

After some hard work installing the new storm door – Mallory & Rick made a smoothie. I guess Rick makes a smoothie every morning and as they drive to school, Mallory grunts from the back seat because she wants his smoothie. Today …
