Green eyed monster

She loves me, she really loves me! :D

If you know me in real life... you know that The Girl is the biggest Daddy's girl that has ever lived; well, today, she decided that she loves me too. :)
The 6 week old baby (whose name on this blog will either be L or 'the baby') that I mentioned I was going to start watching was here this morning when The Girl got up. I showed The Girl that L was sleeping and told her that we'd play with her later. She could tell something was going on but didn't know what, so she didn't care too much. About an hour later the baby woke up, and needed a bottle. I got things situated and The Girl saw the bottle, probably thought it was for her b/c she lifted her arms up in the pick me up pose. I handed The Girl her cup w/ milk then I picked her up and sat her in the spot next to where I was going to sit and then picked up L and we sat down next to her. The Girl got all sorts of jealous and tried crawling into my lap and such. I managed to get her right up close to me without being all on top of L. After the bottle, L was a bit fussy, The Girl plucked her Nuk out of her mouth and offered it up. SO CUTE! So far, so good. Both are sleeping now. I don't think we are going to venture out into the world today. Tomorrow we have class for The Girl at Little Gym, that's going to wear me out I can tell. For the record, this does NOT give me baby fever! They are sooooo much work!

We spent the weekend in Austin to celebrate my aunt and uncle's 35th wedding anniversary (how awesome is that!?!) and had a great time. I really enjoy our trips down there, they are fun folk! :)

The Girl has healed up quite nicely from her ear infections, C and I could tell last night that 'our girl' was back b/c she was being all cute and whatnot at the house. 'Our girl' has been missing for the past 10 days or so and we had some whiny clingy kid... that kid is so not welcome here anymore, we much prefer 'our girl'. She did ok in Austin, but was so much better last night.

OH! We are on the look out for some sort of backyard play structure. In Austin, we hit up a playground and The Girl LOVES them! I've never seen a little kiddo enjoy a slide and swings so much, and the higher and faster... the better! My camera got left in Austin, but my aunt snapped these:










A good time was had by all!

~til next time!
