Today's Shorts 5

Bella has been introduced to the world of Fisher Price. She is playing with a Little People school bus, and has her foot in it saying "step" pointing to the little steps inside the door. She is also obsessed with the "Choo-Choo" that holds animals - does life get any better than that? Oh, and the little car, and making the little girl say hi to the cow in the barn, over and over and... Yup, the "people" are a winner!

Anastasia is smiling at me. No, not "angel smiles" but rather a REAL, looking-at-me-with-her-eyes-mouth-open-SMILE! I could never get tired of this! Pictures soon.

Bella learned how to work the on/off switch to her new cow bowling ball. (Thanks, Aunt Sherry... ggrrrr) I turned it off so it could be a regular ball, instead of a maniacal noisy torture device. Bella is apparently enjoying sending her mother closer and closer to needing a padded cell, since every time there is the slightest vibration the &*(*$% thing moos and plays its little song.

Anastasia has officially announced her entry into the "How Many Diapers Can We Go Through in a Day" contest. I am pretty sure she's winning that one, as well as the "How Much Laundry Will Mama Do Today."

I was stupid enough to make the Salty Chocolate recipe from Justine. See, since it's topped with pecans and goes very well with a glass of milk then it's healthy, right? And since there are many glasses of milk involved and I need protein, I have NO problem justifying this for breakfast. Lord hep me in 2 weeks when I start the diet plan.
