(written by mom) dahlia doesnt usually take naps. she will fall asleep in the car of course in the middle of the day or evening but wont go take a nap at home. but sometimes she seems really tired and will start to fall asleep while i am feeding her in her high chair. it is really funny! her head will be bobbin around for a few minutes and then i will say, "are you tired, do you need a nap?" she looks at me and shakes her head several times and points to her food. and then sometimes we will be snuggling and i will be singing to her and she will start to nod off. but today i was letting her play with my makeup bag and she was frustrated that she couldnt zip it shut (she usually can) and was whining about it, the next thing i knew she was asleep on the couch! and right before that valen had fallen asleep in his bouncer! i couldnt believe that they were both asleep at the same time! i hardly knew what to do with myself!

walk a mile in my shoes

all four of us were going to go on a walk and then on the way home stop by the store and pick up a few very needed groceries, but dahlia had no desire to sit in the stroller! we have gone on walks before but this time she wanted nothing to do with it. we walked about a mile and i would ask her every so often if she wanted to get in the stroller cuz she was tired, she just shook her head no. at one point i tried just putting her in anyways, and she spread her legs out so i couldnt... it was funny. when we were almost to the store she was walking a little funny and kinda dragging her feet so i ended up carrying her home since she is way too slow, we wouldnt have made it before her bedtime!

Almost Two!

Aug 03, 2007

19 months old! that is closer to two than one, yikes! there is a lot of responsibility that comes with that though, i got to start being a nice girl and start listening to my mom when she tells me not to hit my brother )= cuz she is going to catch on... i just want get her riled up! she threatens me with time outs but my cuteness softens her up everytime!

i wish i would have known about this big people food sooner. i wasnt too keen on it till recently.... but it is yummy! macaroni and cheese, spaghetti, ravioli, cheerios... well cheerios are kid food right? either way they are smashing. ya, i can also drink from a cup like napoleon dynamite, it's pretty sweet. ive also got some groovin moves that he might want to use in his next movie (= playing our piano is fun too, my dad is teaching me the hokey pokey... i suppose it is a good first song to learn, but i was hoping for tinkle tinkle little star.
