Haunted House

I have a ghost in my house!

Thank goodness she is a friendly ghost…

We are surviving Rick being gone. Mallory has been sleeping a little weird this week – could be teeth, could be that she has to get up about 90 minutes earlier for school when I do drop off, or could be because her daddy isn’t here. She isn’t interested in talking to him on the phone either – so it makes me wonder if she is trying to snub him back since she feels snubbed by him being gone.

There have been a few funny things …

The naked shopper

Just some random stuff.
Mallory has had some pretty nasty runny poop diapers the past two days so I let her go bare-bottomed for a bit today to try to air out. I was at the ready with a towel in case she started to pee or poop. I was also at the ready with the camera because I couldn’t resist her sweet little bum as she pushed her shopping cart into her room.
I always get a little nervous when she gets a bad diaper rash – it was just before our ER visit last fall that she had …

B-2 Crash

Look what happened on Guam today:

The crazy thing is that we SAW the Stealth Bomber when we were there a month ago! Rick & I saw it at night one night and it was pretty freaky – really wide set pattern of lights flying slow.Then the next day it made a couple of passes over our hotel – Rick even got a picture:

That article also refers to a crash of a Navy plane 20 miles off the coast of Guam 11 days ago. What the hell is going on?

One day

My sister just forwarded me these pictures my dad took on November 7, 2006…

Hard to believe I thought she was soooooo beautiful back then. LOL!

Update

I decided on Chips Ahoy cookies and a glass of milk instead of ice cream. And the dog is curled up on my legs (Coops hardly ever gets to sleep on our bed…this is a treat for him). I am nice & toasty – Cooper is almost better than an electric blanket!

Just the girls

Rick left us. He’s on spring break with a bunch of college girls. He’ll be back soon.
I always enjoy the first night or two when he travels. I can sit and fart around on the computer as much as I want. I can catch up on my trashy reality TV shows that he always makes fun of me for watching (“the most dramatic ______ EVER!”). I can even go to bed at 8p with a bowl of ice cream. Not that I can’t do that stuff when he’s home but he usually wants me to play him in Wii …

Miscellaneous Mallory

I tried to get her dancing and watching her reflection in the TV but as soon as I got the camera out, she stopped. She was also trying to imitate me snapping my fingers. Now THAT was funny. Maybe another day.

470

That’s how many days old the Pumpkin Head is.
And since Mallory is 470 days old, we had her 15-mo check-up today. Unfortunately this meant three shots. But before the shots we got a good report – 31.1″ (67%) and 26.96 lbs (93%). She is right on track developmentally and the doctor gave us some things to watch for that she should be doing in the next couple months.
But the biggest news is that she has another raging ear infection. I think it’s great that we wouldn’t know it if the doctor didn’t tell us. She is so easy …

Inappropriate?

This morning at daycare, they were playing Jimmy Buffett’s “Margaritaville”. Granted, it was early and the only kid there so far was the teacher’s daughter. But I’m not sure if this is inappropriate or makes the daycare that much cooler? Mallory certainly hears her fair share of Buffett around our house in the summertime so it’s no big deal to me.
I guess I won’t worry about it unless I hear them play “Why don’t we get drunk (& screw)”.

Sweet

Is there anything sweeter than a sleeping baby?
