aquarium

We went to the aquarium on March 15. T liked playing on the slide area the best. B liked the penguins, his favorite animal.

new game

As of 20 months, she's sleeping through the night pretty well now... since the daylights saving time, with the occassional waking to rub her feet.

And now her new game is taking all her animals out of the playpen and putting them back in. She has a set of animals in the playpen (thanks to the large amount caught at Mardi Gras) and a huge set of animals in her room on her futon which she nows has to take off the futon and either put on the floor or into her crib when she's going to sleep. Here are some photos of such activity.

puddles

It's been raining yesterday and today so there was a big puddle in the sidewalk. here are some photos of Senorita playing in them.

hair clips

Today she saw all her hairclips in the bucket on the bathroom counter and had to put every single one in her hair. the first photo is when she decided she had enough and started taking them out... I guess I need to upload photos in a different order next time.

this past week

This past week we went to the beach, to the zoo, to the mall to play on the cars and since the time change Sat night, she's slept through the whole night both Sunday and Monday nights!! (meaning, not waking for milk or rubbing feet at all). Here are some photos of our activities along with Senorita playing with the perfume & hair care bottles. These are all taken with my phone as the camera batteries were in the Wii remotes and I didn't bring it to the beach or to the zoo. She loved that kimodo dragon and didn't want to leave. She loved the water and it was freezing! I'll have some other beach photos taken with Muggy's camera to be uploaded later.

ride 'em horsie

Here's T riding the horsie at Chuck E Cheese before B's birthday when I went to put the deposit on, Jan 21.

cloth diapers

At night if she has a wet diaper shortly before her bathtime, I've been putting on a cloth diaper with pins which is quite bulky as I believe was shown in a previous post. I've been researching some contour cloth diapers that might fit better as I can't seem to get the right fit with the standard rectangular cloth diaper that I've had [since B's birth and had just used them for burp cloths for him and then for her].I've decided to try & use more cloth diapers at night so I'll have to shop around and get some other type of fastners/pins than what I have now.

Mardi Gras

T had her second Mardi Gras last Tuesday and did very well. She finally fell asleep around 3:30 as the parades were almost done. We'd left the house at 6:42 and were at our spot on St. Charles for like 7:30 after finding a wonderfully close parking spot. Here are some photos of her first 2 Mardi Gras days, 19 months and 7-8 months.

Above, the first photo is where she decided to place her shoes and thus dirtying her socks thoroughly! B is pouting in one because the floats aren't throwing enough. T wearing her pink pjs before changing to her Saints cheerleader outfit and eating a wonderful breakfast of Bugle chips. The final 3 photos are from last year which I'd taken with my phone camera and finally had uploaded to the computer.
