Pasta and Laundry

May 31, 2011

So far Arrow has quite the pallet, she eats everything and anything.  The two things that she loves the most is asparagus and pasta.  I actually felt bad this week, she had pasta for lunch six days in a row!!! That was simply lack of communication on Mommy and Daddy's part.  Luckily for us she didn't mind!  Every time she eats asparagus she goes "mmmmm" and signs for more.  I hope beyond all hope that she carries her willingness to try all food for the rest of her life, I DO NOT want to raise a picky eater.

Bunny is obsessed with laundry baskets these days.  Mainly to push around, store her toys, sit in, climb in and out of, and for me to push her around while she sits in it. Could this be a sign that we won't have to get on her when she's older about doing her laundry???  A mommy can dream I suppose!

Bunny steps!

My little hopper started walking recently and hasn't looked back since.  With this new found freedom she has also learned the word "no" as we are saying it every two seconds when we see tiny arms reaching for things they shouldn't, or for trying to swing monkey style on her pack n play.  So far it looks like she has my lack of grace, but it could also be the bulky diaper that makes her a little on the clumsy side.  Before Bunny was born Jerry and I had a conversation about what we hoped and dreamed for her.  One thing I wished is that Arrow will be able to dance way better than her parents.  Her walk is already a little on the sassy side and every once in a while she'll throw a smile at me and shimmy her shoulders the way my mom taught me to so long ago to Kool and the Gang.

It's been a sad week in our house as we lost our beautiful Bailey Marie.  Our sweet pound puppy gave my family and I twelve wonderful years of love and loyalty.  She was a Redbone Coonhound a touch of Rhodesian Ridgeback, with a penchant for cheese, chocolate when she could get her paws on it, and well to be honest, anything that was in the fridge.  I am so thankful that she hung around long enough for Arrow to become friends with her although I wish it could have been longer.  She was my first baby and she stole my heart the moment I laid eyes on her and she greeted me with a big wet sloppy kiss.  She picked me the day that I walked into the pound and I thank God that she did.  It's hardest for me right now when I am feeding Bunny and there's not a small horse eagerly waiting for whatever is tossed on the floor.  What's funny is that since the day that we brought Arrow home when it was time for me to give her her night feeding and put her down, no matter what, the moment I laid down with her Miss Bailey Beepers needed to go outside...I really miss that now when it's time to put Bunny down.  Bailey girl will forever be in my heart and I can't wait to tell Bunny stories of her first doggie.
