Smorgasboard

I haven't had much time to sit and write any posts lately.  I have been trying to keep up with the weekly link ups I participate in and the updates on Baby Girl but I haven't posted much of anything else.  So here is smorgasboard of shtuff that has been going on...

So, in Baby Girl's 9 month post, I forgot to mention a few things.  The little one has started to mimic, and she does it well.  If you clap, she claps.  If you blow raspberries, she blows raspberries.  If you throw your hands up in the air and say "So Big", she throws her hands up in the air.

She also says dog and duck.  Well, she says do and du whenever I say dog or duck.  It's very cute.  But she won't crawl.  Just won't do it.  She pushes herself backwards across the floor or rolls everywhere.  She also likes to stand.  A lot.  I swear one of these days she is just going to stand her little butt up and start walking all on her own.

She is also teething HARD right now.  Her top two front teeth are coming in.  I think one has cut already and I can see the bottom of the other one but it hasn't come through yet.  The first two teeth, nothing like this. 

First tooth - didn't even know she was getting one.  Second tooth - a little grouchy but nothing bad.  These teeth - horrible!  She has been going to bed late, waking up in the middle of the night screaming, only willing to sleep if she is laying on my chest, feverish and miserable.  I can't wait for these teeth to finally cut.

Her hair is a hot mess.  It's long and curly and all over the place.  I have to use some kind of bow clip every day just to keep the hair out of her eyes.  She doesn't usually sit still long enough for me to pull it up into a 'rain spout' as her Great Uncle likes to call it.  But man do I love that hair.

We are coming to the point where we may just need to give up on the 13 acre property we were looking to get.  The lady just isn't cooperating the way we need her to so we may be back to the drawing board on the house.  But we need move.  As soon as possible.

I don't think I'm going to get my husband to budge on the whole 'let's have another baby now' thing I've got going on.  That means that we are probably sticking to our original idea which was to start trying again in December.  It's only two months away so I guess I can suck it up and wait.

My husband asked me if I actually thought that we had a shot at winning the Gerber Baby contest I entered Baby Girl in on Facebook.  It had over 300,000 entries.  Hello?  Look at those cheeks!  Of course I think we have a shot!

Fall is here.  That makes me happy.  I love Fall.  I love Fall decorations.  I am excited to take Baby Girl to as many Fall festivals as I possibly can.  We have never really gone to any Fall festivals and we've never been pumpkin picking or anything like that so I can't wait!

I think I'm going to make a movie bucket list.  I keep seeing previews for all of these movies that look like they might actually be funny or interesting but then I forget about them.  I'll make sure I put some movies on there that I have seen just so I can cross them off and make it look like I'm making an attempt.

 

I also need to get my Fall bucket list done.  I had created one for Summer but didn't cross too many items off the list so now they are getting bumped to Fall.  I have it started but I want to make it cute this time.  No I don't want to use the pre-made list I see floating around.  While that list is really nice, I want to make my own.

I was ridiculously sad to find out that Cyrus did not win So You Think You Can Dance this season.  I really thought he was just amazing and I thought that he deserved to win...hands down.  I was just as disappointed when Travis didn't win the second season and I actually stopped watching the show after Travis lost because I was just that pissed.  So then I devote myself to a whole nother season and my guy loses again.  So sad.

 

So now we have The Voice.  I had chosen Juliet to win from the beginning last season.  I love her voice.  And then she had to go and come in second.  So not cool.  But now we have a new season and I have my favorites already.  I have a top 3 and they are all women.  Two of them are on Adam's team and the one that I really like is on Blake's team.

 

 

She reminds me so much of Juliet Simms so I think that's one of the reasons I like her.  I can't get Juliet's video to load so click on her name to get to the video.  It's totally worth it.

 

I really love her indy-ish sound.  She's so different.

 

She has such a beautiful voice.  This gave me chills.

I think that's it for my smorgasbord of thoughts.  I'm sure I'll be back soon with some more!
