Who says video games are bad for kids?
XBox taught my 18 month old to jump.  Physical activity FTW.

Tattletale
Aeva is quite the tattletale lately.  We yell at our cats when they jump up on stuff, so now if Aeva sees them on top of ANYTHING, she yells, “Mama!  Dada!  Hey!  Kitty!  Get it!” She also yells to me if she sees Jake stand on anything and vice versa.  I think it’s pretty cute.

I'm sick of the whole "raising awareness about...
Hate corporations?  Don’t do business with them then.  It IS possible.  Several people on Facebook have been posting about how ‘evil’ corporations are.  What do you think Facebook is??? “I’m just using Facebook to raise awareness.” Oh really??  So… thanks for making me aware that your hatred of ‘evil corporations’ means that you go about your...

It’s been snowing at our house since Saturday.  We have about a foot and a half now.  Aeva has had a great time watching it fall, especially when it’s dark out and she can see it in the lights.  We let her play in the snow on Sunday, but she refuses to wear her gloves, so she can only play for about ten minutes before her hands get too cold.  She loves to walk in the snow and listen to...

Aeva just got her first bloody nose.  She somehow flipped herself over the fireplace guard and landed face first on the tile.  At least it wasn’t that bad, hopefully she won’t try that again.

Aeva is trying to change up our routine lately.  She’s fighting her nap, throwing her food on the ground, begging for multiple baths a day, and doing everything possible to extend her bedtime as late as possible.  -__- Toddlers. I hope this is a short phase.

18 months
Aeva got her 18 month shots today, fun times.  I think she was actually more pissed about the bandaids than the actual pokes though, since she has this weird fear of stickers and bandaids. She’s still a small little lady, but that’s no surprise. She’s been sick with a cold/sinus infection for the past ten days or so, so she’s getting used to all the extra attention ;)  Oh...

So dairy crept back into my diet… holidays and all that jazz, and my skin is NOT happy.  Definitely not making that mistake again.  Goodbye cheese and all your deliciousness…

You know those super sad ASPCA commercials?
They’re perfect for my kid, because she goes crazy anytime animals come on the TV and the commercials are super long.  I don’t know how much they drum up in donations, but they make Aeva happy, so I guess I don’t hate them anymore.

After months of fighting them Aeva begged to have a bath tonight.  Okay… Toddlers change their minds at the drop of a hat, SMH

My band has a fancy gig tonight and I’m sick. This should be fun.

Mommy, the grinch?
I’ve really dropped the ball this holiday season… Halloween was in Ecuador, so no dressing up or trick or treating.  Thanksgiving was in the airport, and then makeup Thanksgiving was the beginning of our epic stomach flu.   Then there’s Christmas.  I didn’t put up a tree.  I just can’t deal with the toddler vs ornament chaos.  I work from home, so my house has to be...

Tell me why...
Every little animal is in its place and accounted for, but my TV remote is nowhere to be found? Why does Aeva only lose my stuff????

Aeva’s new obsession - waiting until the cats are sitting/laying calmly and then sneaking up and biting them in the face. Yeah. It’s happened several times already. Good thing they are nice cats :/

I was messing around with my Wii this morning and decided to check in with ‘ol Wii Fit.  Apparently, I haven’t set foot on that thing for 958 days, as it sadly informed me.  I know I stopped using it while I was pregnant because there was no ‘pregnant’ option and I was getting tired of it telling me I had gained weight each time I used it.  Annoying. Today, all it wanted...

It's starting all over again.
Apparently Aeva is at the age where everyone starts asking when we’re going to have another kid. I still hate that question. IF is more like it. It’s not like I don’t want another kid, but just because I had Aeva doesn’t mean that my fertility problems went away.  We got lucky.  We didn’t get ‘healed’.  We’re still dealing with the same set of...

My copycat
I’m loving the copycat stage right now.  She’s not one of those annoying ‘repeat everything I say and do’ copycats, she’s attempting to say the things I say in her cute little baby voice and fumbling around trying to do the things I do.  It’s too cute.  Every day she comes up with something new.  Today she walked down the entire staircase holding onto the...
