Her Favorite Things

Other than reading my own witty banter, I thought a blog would be great to record some of Eloise's milestones. So here's a list of her favorite things in her life so far.

  • Dogs - She loves dogs. Watching them run, barking at them, and petting them. It's cutest thing to watch her smile as soon as she spots one.
  • Finger Food - She loves feeding herself. If she can hold it, there's a likelihood she'll eat more of it. Sausages, perogies, crackers, cookies (don't tell dad), chicken nuggets, an apple core (I leave tons of apple attached, it's easier for her to handle an apple if I shave it down a bit), and berries. She's a berry monster, but out of all the things a kid could love eating, I pretty psyched that her vice is berries.
  • Pointing out my nose - Every morning for the last week I've woken up to her poking me in the nose smiling and asking, "Wuztha?".
  • Saying Daddy - I would normally have a jealous outraged comment for this, but today when I came home from work she let out a couple of "mom"s. For months though, she's been singing, "da-dee, da-dee" all through the house. It's hard to be mad when it sounds so sweet.
  • Cuddling on the Couch - I have a couch potato on my hands. She may have learned that one off her parents. We snuggle on the couch and watch a show, while she places her head right under my armpit. It fits perfectly there. And then a funny part on the show happens, and she looks up at me like, "Did you get that mom? That was so funny!".
I'm pretty sure Eloise is the cutest baby ever. And if she isn't, she's definitely my favorite.

    I love that you're jotting down these things. What a great idea! I wish I had done the same with my first daughter. As each stage passes, I feel as if those little things slowly slip away from my memory.

    It's so sweet to see what things fascinate them and make them smile :)

    Oh the cuteness! My kid is CRAZY for dogs too. She hears their collars jingle as they walk by from INSIDE the house and points frantically to the window and says "DOT, DOT, DOT!!" and woofs and pants. SO. BLOODY. CUTE.

    A couch potato she is not. That would be nice.

    In Yo Face

    Hubby's mom recently gave us a bottle of Fairy Mist. It's an Aromatherapy spray that is supposed to calm baby's down. I spray the living room in the evenings with it, before Eloise goes to bed. If she's cranky, I'll spray a couple of mists around her. It seems to work. The directions read; From deep within the garden, the Aroma Fairies have gathered this delightful blend to gently calm and soothe children of all ages. Spray mist above your child's head. One day, when Eloise was super upset, crying, crawling away from me, then crawling back to me wanting to be picked up, then pushing me away because she really didn't want to be picked up, Hubby asked how he could help. I said, "Grab the fairy mist." He came into the room, spray head pointed right at Eloise's face, ready to pull the triger. Before he could I yelled, "You're not going to spray it at her face, are you?" He paused. He totally was going to spray her in the fac...

    Good-bye Mommy Brain

    I go back to work, tomorrow. OMG! People have been asking me how I feel about it. My general response is, "Excited, because I really need to start exercising my brain." I didn't realize how dumb I'd gotten this year, until yoga class yesterday. I've been taking yoga on Tuesday nights for the past 4 months. It's been great for my body, and an awesome excuse to leave the house without my baby. However, since I'm going back to work, I figured that I might actually want to spend evenings, after work, with my child. So when I signed up for my next series of classes, I decided to do a weekend class, Saturdays 1pm to 2pm. At the first class we started a little late, because of new registrants, signing of waivers, and payment processing. To my surprise, the instructor went an hour over. I guess it was to make up for the late start. I had only paid for an hour parking, so I was a little nervous when I walked out to the car. The Universe gave me a free pass t...
