Me love chocolate chip cookie

The chocolate chips were screaming from the cupboard, "turn me into something delicious!" Who could ignore that, beside we need to try to get more food down this kid so I will try anything. I think this picture speaks for itself. "We like chocolate chip cookies!" it says. Of course we went through 4 outfits today and had to mop the floor twice but with a smile like that, I really can't complain.

The toy for today is?...

It seems as though every day Laney wakes up (early!) and picks a toy for the day. She may play with other toys that day but she always comes back to one toy in particular. Today apparently we are going for music and sound so here is our choice this morning.

PJ's all day...

Sometimes there are just those days when you don't need to go anywhere and your morning gets away from you and BAM! it is 2:00 in the afternoon and she is still in her PJ's. Do you really go through the effort of getting them dressed when 1. They hate it. 2. You dirty more clothes. and 3. We don't have to go anywhere anyway. Oh well, I am sure this has happened to other mothers. I doubt I am the first.

Rain?

It doesn't rain much in Boise. Mostly in the Spring and then a few rare times through the year. Well I found this cute raincoat the other day and I couldn't resist. Most of her clothes are hand-me-downs from her cousin so it is rare I get to buy her much anyway. Well as luck would have it I bought this Sunday and today it is raining! We are all dressed up and ready to face the elements! I just love her little face.

Stinking shots

As I mentioned in our last post Laney went to her 1 year appointment. She also received her 1 year shots. I think her immune system is a little overtaxed. She has had a little fever on and off for 2 days and her cold is moving into her lungs. Of course I am following right along with her and it is moving to my lungs too. I have pretty much lost my voice and had to call in sick to work. Oh well. I have to say she is handling it much better than I am. She is still crawling and going 90 miles an hour. All I want to do is sit on the couch!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

We were fortunate enough to spend St. Patricks day with friends. We went to the Wilkison's for corned beef and cabbage. It was delicious! We started the night with a cheers over a tall dark glass of Guiness. I know I look like the worst mom ever but all she got was some foam, but she LOVED it! We all ate and laughed, the kids all played. It was a great night.
This morning was Laney's 1 year check up with her pediatrician. She got a clean bill of health except for the cold, which he said is not RSV (thank goodness). Laney weighs 16 lbs. 3 oz and is 28 inches long, her head measures at 16 5/8. Because she is a year now they no longer correct her height and weight so we no longer have that advantage. What that translates into is that she is 19th% for height and below the 3rd % for head and weight. No big suprise and her doctor is not concerned so we will just keep trucking along trying to get this kid to eat.

A house half done...

So right now our house is in the middle of about 5 half done projects. Kevin, bless his heart, is working on them every chance he gets, which isn't much. We put the hardwood floor in but we have no baseboards or trim. I decided to redo the bathroom and there is that one ellusive piece of wood that needs to be painted and put up. We have a new kitchen floor that has been at the store we bought it from since December. You get the idea. Well today the troops decided to tackle one of the projects. Not sure if any progress was made but they look like they are working hard.
