Just a Normal Day

Last Friday I decided to take pictures all day long to show Michael what we do all day. The house is often a mess when he gets home and I can't figure out where the time goes. Well here it is.


Nathan is now eating baby rice and peas. He usually spits half of it out, not because he doesn't like it but he just isn't very good at the eating thing yet. Alyssa wanted to try the baby food so I gave her a bite, I wish I would have gotten a picture of that face. She gagged.



Alyssa is now climbing on everything. She is also starting to jump off of things which is kind of scary and I have to keep a close eye on her again.


Nathan is not as scared of Alyssa anymore. He gets a kick out of watching her dance and she loves to play with him. She helps put the binky in his mouth, which he usually doesn't want, and she always wants to help if we give him a bottle. What a good little Mommy! She still wants to share her food with him even though we have told her that he only eats baby food.


He loves his tunnel, we hang his toys from the top and he enjoys playing with them. You would think that it would be a good escape from his wild sister but she likes to dive onto the tunnel and smash it. We have not had any accidents with Nathan... YET!


Alyssa likes all animals but she has a rocking horse that she gets to ride on and lately we have been playing horsey with her. So today she decided to ride Tigger. Yes Tigger bounces but not with a tank of a girl riding him. Oh and below you can see that she has also tried to ride horsey with Nathan.



Our little girl is very active. If I try to use the computer while she is awake she comes over and pushes me away from the computer. She is napping right now so I have a little time. I try to bring in toys that she hasn't used in a while and it seems to keep her attention for a while.



She is now trying to dress herself and she tries to put on anything she can find. I have almost given up on folding laundry cause she just pulls the clothes off the couch and out of the drawers as I am working. It is so cute to watch her until she actually gets something over her head. She has never been able to stand it when we put a shirt on over her head, we have to go as fast as possible and we end up consoling her when it takes too long. Well when she is dressing herself she absolutely refuses any help, even when she gets stuck. It is difficult not to laugh when she gets stuck and won't let me help her. Poor thing.

The pool table no longer belongs to us, Alyssa uses it more than we are able to. She not only rolls the balls but plays with her bunnies and birdies on it. She also swings from the edge.
I think I speak for most Mommies when I say that I can't figure out where the time goes. Well there it is. The other day I was thinking to myself that all I do is wish for bedtime to come or even the weekend. When I went back and looked at the pictures I had taken I realized how much fun we have together every day. I am so lucky to be able to stay home with my children and I wouldn't change it for anything.
