Day 31

Wow, so today makes a whole month of blogging!  I am surprised I have been able to keep it up ;)

Today I decided to bake a cake. Well more like my hubby talked me into making one. Anyone who knows me knows this is a great feat for me because a cook or a baker I am not, lol! I can get by in the kitchen, but it has never been my strong suit. My hubby took a year of culinary school way back when we first met, so he is a much better cook than I am.

So here is the story of the cake...........
(yes I am a nerd, lol)

Miss E. watching the icing being mixed :)

 

Just a taste,
""  Ooooooh, Mom, that's sweeeeet!"

Let the sugar coma commence;)

The End

In the evening Miss E.'s Gram and Uncle J. came by for a visit. Miss E. love's them both! When they left she kept looking at the door waiting for them to come back and when they didn't burst out into tears :( It was soooooo sweet!

Day 30

So Miss E., my Mom and I went to my Mom's work today so Grandma could show off her granddaughter to some friends.  We did a little shopping afterward. I picked up this

dragonfruit while we were out. My hubby said he has always wanted to try one. It isn't all that flavourful, but does look kinda pretty :)

Full moon tonight. Probably why I have felt soooo crazy this week! Miss E. has been off too. I thought it was just the teething but this could explain some of it too ;) Working with kids for years I swear there is something to the full moon thing. They always got sooooo crazy right before it.

And I had to have my daily fix if snapping a pic of Miss E. of course ;)

Day 29

Well another rough day of teething :(  Miss E. and Mommy are going a little cuckoo bananas at this point, LOL!

She also got her first glimpse of Sesame Street today. I was flipping through the channels and it caught her attention big time! I know TV is not ideal baby entertainment, lol, but figured 5 minutes or so couldn't do that much damage, at least I hope not :) She was waving her arms around as Ernie sang, very cute!

We are also trying to introduce some meat into her diet. She loves her veggies, fruits, cereal and yoghurt but so far meat is a no go. We tried some jars of baby food chicken and turkey and she was soooo not impressed. Tonight we tried some ground hamburger meat mixed with carrots and put through the food processor a bit. The results are below. Again, soooo not impressed. I think she may end  up being vegetarian, LOL ;)

Day 28

Well this picture pretty much says how most of my day was.......

 

But thanks to my Mom for coming over to help take care of Miss E. while I got over it, I am doing much better now, thank you Mom, I love you!!!!! Miss E. is doing a bit better today. She had a good day but starting getting grumpy around supper time. After a long nap she is now happy for the moment, fingers crossed it stays that way :)

Now the house smells wonderful because my wonderful hubby who worked all day, went shopping after work, then slaved in the kitchen for a couple hours making some delicious looking chili, mmmmm!! He is the good cook in this house, and I love him soooo much for all he does!

And my favourite fruit for dessert tonight, cherries, yummmmmmm :)

And here is Miss E. lovingly looking up at her Daddy after her nap :) We love you Daddy!!!!!!

Day 27

Well the teething hell continues :(  Miss E. whimpered in her sleep all last night and upon waking this morning immediately stuck her fingers in her mouth and started chewing and didn't stop chewing on things all day :( Well I had to escape and leave her with Daddy for a bit this evening for my own sanity. I got a couple photography books to brush up a little. Canon EOS Rebel T1i for Dummies to learn my new camera and How to Photograph Absolutely Everything. I saw someone else post they got these books so I checked them out and decided to buy them. I was into photography a while back. I took the first year of the Photography course at Fanshawe College about 12 years ago now but it may as well be a lifetime ago for all I remember, lol. I had my own darkroom set up for a while too. Well the course just about sapped all my love for photography and I decided it wasn't a career I would be happy with, but rather a hobby I enjoy. Now I just photograph to please myself and I find I am beginning to love it again! I am not a great photographer by any means, but it is fun to play around!!! Got a giant decaf skinny cinnamon latte at Starbucks, yummm and am going to try to read a bit tonight. That is if Miss E. manages to get to sleep. Poor baby, come on teeth break through soon, please!!!!!!!!!!

I love books so much, wish I had more time to read right now.

Read the whole series while I was pregnant and was surprised how much I loved it! I guess I am just an adolescent girl at heart, lol ;)

Miss E. Chewing away! Daddy took these while I was out. Notice the drool all over her chest, she is drooling buckets! And has a low grad fever too :(  

Infants Tylenol here we come!!!!!!!!!!!!

Day 26, Tea Time

Miss E. and I had a lovely afternoon with the ladies. We were invited for lunch and afternoon tea at my best friend's Aunts place. We had a delicious lunch followed by tea and afterwards the girls played. My friend's Mom gave the girls all their own cute little tea cups :) They had their milk and Miss E. sipped some water, it was cute :)

The cute little Tea cups the girls all got :)

Miss E. and Me :)

The three friends :)

Some pics I snapped of downtown from Aunt B's window and balcony :)

And finally her Daddy snapped a pic when I brought her home zonked out from the day and hat askew ;)
