I love Friday nights

I keep telling Katie that if she doesn’t stop me, I’m going to make wings every chance I get.

Sooner or later she’ll try to stop me … and then I’ll just make them for me!

Looks like a good night for a fire

I love that it’s mid May, and I just realized I could have a nice fire going tonight.

I do think it’s going to be too chilly to enjoy our front porch.

Does life stop when the baby’s not around?

I wonder why I rarely have anything to say on Fridays.

It is a lot quieter here with just us adult folks.

I figured out how she stands up

The Bug kept standing up in her pack n play, and I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how she was doing it. Every time I turned around, she’d be standing up.

Well, it turns out she would shift to her knees, and from there she could reach the top rail and just pull herself up.

Interestingly, though, she still can’t sit up on her own. Whenever she ends up on her back or tummy, she fusses (not necessarily immediately, of course) until we put her in a sitting position. From there, the possibilities are endless.

She did it again!

I can’t quite figure out how the Bug is standing on her own in her pack n play, but it’s pretty dern cute.

One of these days, I’m going to catch her doing it, too.

Probably wouldn’t make for a great trade

A nuk, a nuk, my kingdom for a nuk!

I have no clue how the Bug and I got here today without a pacifier, but I fear the consequences.

Currently listening to

Every time I buy music, I have to restrain myself from breaking the bank. But it’s sooo much fun to get new music. And I’m looking forward to buying some new books soon, too.

She stands anywhere she can

Reading the paper with the cousin

Rainy day

Looking forward to getting nothing done

I am digging this mild weather. I keep thinking I’m going to go home after work and clean the house or mow the lawn, and I end up sitting on the front porch all evening instead.

On Monday, it was cool enough to have a nice fire going inside, yet it was warm enough to sit on the front porch with Katie, the Bug, and the pupster. It was no contest.

I have now given up any hope of accomplishing anything in the evening as long as the weather is this great. Why would I want to work when my front porch has a ceiling fan?
