Getting Better All the Time 3.18

Happy 11 months childrens

Mr. Grunty crawled today! MyBetterHalf saw, since she stayed at home with Mr. G today because of him being sick. (Some vomiting, some diarrhea, I hope he doesn't get dehydrated.)

And, he really doesn't like broccoli.

Miss Squeaky has a new favorite word. "uh". A truncated version of "uh-oh" and she usually says it before or after dropping what ever she is playing with. We lost two pieces of Zweibeck toast yesterday, because I wasn't quick enough when she said, "uh."

Yesterday, on Mother's Day, I took the childrens for a nice long walk, an hour and a half. We walked up to Hamlin Park, and I tried the jogging stroller on the trails. I had fun lifting it over fallen tree branches and exposed tree roots. The childrens slept through most of it. It was an adventure!

more stuff from Mother's Day...

Miss S helped me sort clothes, practicing saying "uh" everytime she dropped a sock on the ground. She did get frustrated with my Portland Marathon shirt, because the long sleeves made it difficult to get the entire thing out of the laundry basket.

And she took a good morning nap in her mommy's arms.

Mr. G and his mommy were playing a game. He would kick on the floor, then she would copy him. He would kick on the floor and make a noise, and she would copy him. He found this very entertaining, and soon they both were laughing and stomping on the floor.

...embarrassing story...

some time last week...

you know when you have those "I'm falling dreams"? well, this time I had a "MyBetterHalf is falling!" And tackled her in my sleep so that she wouldn't fall off the cliff from my dream. Naturally she was not amused by this, or thankful that I was attempting to rescue her in real life from my dreams.

I think her words were "what the hell?" as she was violently saved from slumber.
I was hyperventilating from the adrenaline of the dream, and all I could say was "I thought you were falling."
