Day 35, Something Old

So last week I missed the "Something Old" mission, so I am doing it today. The oldest things we have in our house are these old glass negatives. I picked them up at an antique store several years ago thinking it was just a cool old picture. When I opened the frame I discovered they were actually glass negatives. I also found two more in the back and one was broken. They appear to be for advertisements. I don't know for sure what year they are. My husband scanned them in and looked at some of the products and looked them up. From what he found they looked to be from the late 1800's, early 1900's. So yeah, they are old!

Day 34, Something New :)

Tonight I picked up a new friend for Miss E.  A very talented London Mom custom made the cutest ever sock monkey for her! Thank you Foximamma, she loves it! So do I, absolutely adorable :)

 

Day 33

Today Miss E. had afternoon playtime with Miss. A. and Miss B. They brought her a yellow helium balloon! It was her first balloon and she was very inquisitive about it. She couldn't figure out why it kept going up even though she would pull it down. She got downright mad at it a few times, lol. Thanks A&B, can't wait for your birthday party Sunday, we'll have lots of balloons to play with!!!!!

 

Later in the evening we tied it to her Jumperoo and she made friends with the yellow balloon. I think it was funner when it was bouncing up and down with her :)

 

  

 

Day 32

Yay, Miss E.'s first tooth is starting to cut through!!!!! Just a tiny white bump showing bottom middle, but it's a start. It explains why she was crazy teething last week! Couldn't get any pics because she's not being cooperative, but I'll keep trying :)

Todays pics are of a baby, a flashlight and a pot. Who needs all these toys when she is highly entertained by everyday things, lol!

 

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 ;)
