Mom-1, Yaya – Infinity
I am home sick again today (what is it with me and summer colds??). Anyway, this morning, Rick brought Mallory up to say goodbye to me and she was so sad. Usually when we say “go to school” she starts freaking out about getting to see YAYA and is in a big rush to get out the door!!
But not today. I was lying in bed among my piles of snotty Kleenexes and Mallory wouldn’t give me a hug or a kiss goodbye. She just kept saying “NOooooooooo Gaga” when he’d try to pick her up to leave. I *almost* thought …

I'm so proud of my husband
My husband isn’t very good at reading my mind and he isn’t so great at giving me foot rubs but I was SO proud of him yesterday when he finished his triathlon. I had tears in my eyes as he crossed the line and I started running down to see him, completely forgetting to keep an eye on Mallory.
find the dark blue hat with the white block M on it…a little left of center of the picture.
The race was supposed to start at 7.15a but was delayed an hour because of fog on Lake Michigan. Mallory & I slept …
NO!!!
Mallory has been saying NO to us for a while, usually in response to “want to go to bed?” or “let’s change your diaper”. It’s never been a problem before when she’s said it because we can usually get her to what we need her to.
Well, being in a one room hotel room with a baby who NEEDS to sleep and WON’T is KILLING me.
She’s been in her pack & play for about 30 minutes, and she is still talking to me, while I’m sitting in the dark typing away and Rick is off wandering around the hotel. She is …
Another trip up the chain!
One of my favorite things to do in the summer is to make the cruise up the chain of lakes to Zukey Lake Tavern. It takes us about 1.5 hours each way and there are always other boats to look at and say hi to, and turtles to watch for so Mallory is mildly entertained. That and we always have friends with us to make the trip :-)
This past weekend we had D&S and their three kids come out. Their oldest, B, is a big fan of Mallory’s, and I think you can tell from the pictures below that the …
Well….
So far so good. We’ll be 4 weeks tomorrow. The pregnancy tests are getting darker and the beta numbers are getting larger.
Please please please let this one stick.
Mine!!
When we were at Disney in May, we rode the Finding Nemo ride. Seeing as how Mallory was only 18 months old at the time, we haven’t had to get into Disney stuff just yet. Out in front of the ride, they had those birds from the movie (I think they were seagulls?) saying “MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE”. It was pretty funny even though we’d never seen the movie. Mallory got a kick out of them, kneeling down to watch them under the fence.
Well, Mallory’s new word at home is “MINE!”. Whenever she sees something she wants, she yells …
Mommy, Gaga, Buhbuh and Baby
I was trying to find info on what it’s called when someone always refers to themselves in the third person, because my kid is going through that stage. And because she can’t (or won’t) say her real name, she calls herself baby. There are a bunch of examples of how she does this, but of course I can’t think of any right now.
