#2 (also known as Poop)

2nd Blog Ever

poop is a great word. have you really ever thought about it? my hunny and i use the word multiple times/hour. seriously! see, the way the game works is you use the word "poop" (or any word you may choose) to replace other words, or parts of words, that you use in any sentence. you want an example you say? well, for those of you in Nashville- Poops and i love to eat at Jim 'N Poops bc its right down the poop and they have a great queso dip. You don't live in Nashville (you should!) so you don't get it? how about one for my LA friends... i used to work at Poopstons on 2nd and Poopshire. okay- one for everyone.... Happy Poopday to yoooou. Happy Poopday toooooo you! Happy Pooooooopday dear so & so, Happyyyyyyyy Pooooooopday to Pooooooooooooop! ya get it? ya like it? yeah, me too. ahhhh, its the little things that make life great...

my little peanut is growing by leaps and bounds. physically she is bigger & longer, and mentally she is really starting to understand more about what is going on around her. trying hard to sit up, trying even harder to crawl, loving the new foods i am introducing to her! yesterday she drank from a water bottle which is the first time she's ever had water! she also held her own bottle while she ate. no biggie bc she's done that many times before- so as i'm sitting there with her, i'm watching tv as she eats and it took me a minute to realize what was happening.. she was not only holding the bottle on her own, but also manipulating it to her will. pulling the nipple in and out of her mouth! she'd pull the bottle away from her mouth, down to her belly even, and then lift it back up and find a way to get it back in her mouth! soooo amazing to watch a baby figure out that they have the power to accomplish what they want!

speaking of accomplishing what she wants... Brooklyn has been practicing noises and sounds on her daddy and me to see which ones get a reaction out of us. i try not to react too much to any of them- but the whine and the pout sometimes get me before i realize what's happening. its instinct to react to the sounds. a sad cry= what's wrong peanut? a whine= aww, did you drop your toy? to her though its all trial and error. she doesn't know which sounds have what result until I REACT to it!  although, sometimes it seems like she knows exactly what she's doing!

on a totally random note-- do you ever watch your local morning news?? when in LA i LOVED Good Day LA. i know, its pretty horrible! but lovelovelove Steve Edward, and loved having the train wreck on in the background just in case something silly happened. and something silly always happened! so... here in Nashtown we have TN Mornings! oh my, if you haven't watched you are missing out! there used to be a kinda creepy older guy on it, but he had to leave for some reason or another- and they brought on this younger dude to take his place. this new guy is still kindof a weirdo. i have them on in the background now as i type and i HAD to bring it up bc a few minutes ago they were showing who their dopplegangers would be for "doppleganger week" on facebook! how great is that! they let the fans (on fb) tell them who they looked like... for the girl they picked Jen Aniston (i would have said Christine Taylor) and for the weirdo new dude- Ryan Seacrest! haha! that works!

enjoy life, see ya soon!
