It has been a strange month, filled with good stuff and bad. B started her new year with a trip to Monkey Joe’s with her buddy Hawke. I don’t have any pictures of that – they just don’t stay in one place long enough! Tatie Kat also came back from her trip to MI and spent a few more days with us (and cooking for us!) before she headed back home. It was definitely nice to have her around to help – my bronchitis was certainly not improving, and B had lots of fun playing with her. I tried several homeopathic/pregnancy safe remedies, but after a particularly bad weekend, I broke down and headed to the doctor. I am finally feeling more like myself, and am definitely enjoying the sleep I am getting (for as long as that lasts!).
Our most recent visitors (Nana, Poppa, and Tia) just left. They came to visit and to help work on B’s playroom. Their timing was great as I was still recovering from bronchitis, and we definitely needed the help! B’s aversion to cameras these days makes it difficult to get many pictures, but we did sneak in a few. She and Tia successfully built a tower using all her blocks – she is getting so tall that she can now finally reach the top (just barely)!
Yesterday we set everything up for B to paint the rubber duckie Tia gave her for Christmas. She started with orange (anyone surprised by this?), and decided to paint one of the wings orange.
Then, she opted to paint the other wing red, which she subsequently changed to pink (gave us a bit of a chance to show her how colors change when you mix them).
Then she moved on to yellow (all rubber duckies are yellow, don’t ya know…). Initially she worked very carefully to keep the yellow off the wings.
But then, she decided the whole thing needed to be yellow.
But THEN, she changed her mind and decided the duck needed to be green…all of it…
For some reason, her favorite eye color these days is red she swears the baby will have red eyes…), so she painted the duck’s eyes red!
All done!
We had to take a bath early because she was so excited to play with her new duck in the bath.
