just some stuff...

some of you have probably already seen this but it is really beautiful if you haven't!

this weekend was pretty busy. little bit has been a tiny bit grumpy. she's been acting really sleepy a lot and just generally fussy. i didn't feel so hot on friday so maybe she picked up whatever it was that i had and it is just taking her a little longer to get over it (literally, mine was about 6 hours and now i just have a little bit of a runny nose). she typically loves the pool but she didn't seem to have a whole lot of fun in it yesterday. as a matter of fact she wasn't even in it 10 minutes. i think maybe sunscreen got in her eyes though so i'm sure that didn't help. she has also been getting up at about 7am and that is too early for her (and me). if she gets up before about 7:30, you can forget it! she'll be an ill pill all day long! so this morning she got up at 7am, banged around for awhile, fell back asleep and i think b woke her up on his way to work at 8:15am. i was thinking she'd be in a good mood since she had gone back to sleep but here it is 10am and she's already napping b/c she's so grumpy. i just don't understand. no teeth seem to be coming through.

she is also normally REALLY excited when someone comes to get her up in the morning or from her nap and she won't even smile about that. it is sad really b/c i love her smiles...

on saturday she was pleasant. we got up and went to my mom's around 8:30. we went swimming and b got his hair cut (we have to drive a half an hour for him to get his haircut b/c he's so picky and if you've seen a picture of him, you know he doesn't even have all that much left--silly boy) and then at noon, i nursed little bit and me and b left for the day! we had a wedding to go to that night and instead of having to bring little bit back to my mom or her come get her, we decided to just go ahead and leave her. she stayed with them until about 9pm and i have to say, it was nice! we had all afternoon to just hang out and get ready and then went to the wedding and really enjoyed it! little bit was great for them all day. it makes me happy that she can go with them now and not scream all day. she was even pretty good in sunday school yesterday. they said she didn't scream the whole time (just half of it) and when i picked her up she wasn't red eyed, splotchy, or snubbing. yea for progress!!

i cleaned my house last night. not like i really want to but i at least got everything pretty babyproofed and the floors vacuumed and mopped. it has been on my list but i'm lazy. we just have "stuff" everywhere.

this is a picture of little bit and lee (a friend of her and justice) who (for some reason) really wants to chew on little bit. he gets all excited when she gets close by and tries to chew on her. maybe he is just giving kisses. which brings me to the question--do you think babies can sense when other babies are male or female?

here is a picture of little bit and justice. i hate that i missed the best part of this but i couldn't get my camera on fast enough. they were crawling side by side going after the rug. it was so cute but by the time i got my camera on, justice was stopping.

little bit has learned to eat finger foods--well, fruit puffs anyway--without choking and throwing up. yea again for progress!! she was also feeding herself last night which she hasn't been able to do. my little girl is growing up.

we have friends down from maryland this week. i'm excited to get to see them! they have a little girl who is 10 weeks old and i can't wait to see her. it's b's best friend from high school and his wife. b is over the top happy that they're here and i think he is just ITCHING for them to call and want to hang out (they are actually here staying with one of their parents). he never checks the caller id (most of the time doesn't even know where the phone is) and when we got home yesterday that is the first thing he did. he has also been periodically checking his cell phone.
it's cute :)
