mickydonalds

well, because mae had ( i say had because we've had a few slip ups since then) gone three whole weeks without any kind of accidents, we made a trip to mcdonalds (mickydonalds) for a happy meal, and a nice large diet coke for mama.
i'm really proud of this kiddo.  yeah it took us a good 6 weeks to 2 months before i felt confident going out without her in a pull-up, but she did it.  so it was a much deserved trip.  and really, anytime i can use my kid as an excuse to get myself a nice big soda is awesome.

 

so this is what a baby jumper is supposed to look like...with a cute little baby in it.

this is what it looks like at my house....with a 40 pound toddler in it.  we've had it out for about 3 weeks, and this kid still gets in it just about everyday.  whatever keeps her busy right?

 she has become very concerned whenever izzy does something.  these are the phrases i hear most often in my home "izzy touching me", "that's mines izzy", "izzy has my toy", and my favorite "izzy looking at me".  so it begins.  we're working on the whole sharing thing, but heaven forbid i ever give izzy one of mae's toys to play with.  i've got her pretty well trained.  instead of just ripping it away from her, she has to go get izzy something else to play with. the other day it was a plastic bag...nice.

this kid.  she still falls out of bed on a regular basis.  the other night i went to check on her and didn't see her and had a mini freak out until i found her like this in the chair in her room.  i'm still not really sure how this happened...

 munchkin number two turned 6 months the other day.  crazy to think that she's 6 months already!  she's eating like a champ, we've started 3 solid meals a day because no matter how much formula she had she was still hungry.  not sure where all that food goes, she's still a lean mean machine.  i've been making my baby food for the most part.  and i'm still trying to decide if it's worth it.  with how much she eats i feel like i'm always pureeing stuff!  supposedly it's cheaper, but, if i factor in the time it takes i'm not so sure about that.  we'll see how long i keep it up.

we've been eating a lot better around these parts.  green smoothies everyday, homemade granola bars, using coconut oil instead of butter (for the most part), that sort of thing.  so i decided to try to make my own pizza.  lucky for me i found a no yeast pizza dough recipe, and was able to "doctor" it up, so it was a little healthier.  it turned out pretty good!  mae is my little kitchen helper.  she had a blast helping me in there.
