Lola vs Squash
Lola took on squash tonight... I'm sad to say I think the squash won. But she doesn't seem to upset about it.
Sunday Funday
What's a mama to do when it's cold and snowy in April and daddy's hom? Go to Costco and buy food. And then make meals! Lots of meals to freeze. Pretty proud at all I got done in a couple hours.
- 10 mini beef meatloaf
- 13 big turkey and spinach meatballs
- 3 pounds of hamburger fried and froze
- 2 pounds of ground turkey fried and froze
- 5 paprika and garlic chicken legs cooked and frozen
- big pot of chicken noodle soup
- veggies cut for the week
- strawberries cleaned
Finishing the laundry and still need to clean the kitchen floor.
Feeling productive :-)

Travel
Saw this on Facebook and decided to see what mine looked like.
Thanks to parents who loved to travel and jobs that I was required to travel... I'm not to far off. My goal was all 50 by the time I was 30 but that didn't happen. Now I'm going to say 49 (excluding Hawaii) by the time I'm 40. So I've got 4 years to make it happen.
Lola 8 months
I'm still struggling with the fact that she's 8 months already. It's no wonder her 6 month clothes are too small.
1. Can say mama and dada.
2. Starting to like food - apples, pears, squash, carrots, peas, banana, avocado, and cereal. Loves puffs!
3. Can go from sitting to her belly very gracefully
4. Gets places but isn't crawling- pretty close to though. Rolling is her primary method of movement
5. Loves the bath and gas discover splashing.
6. Only wakes up once a night - around 3 or 4. Then joins me and sleeps unit 6ish. She's definitely a mama's girl
7. Loves watching Greta do anything
8. Has the best and biggest smile and is always doing it
9. Had her first cousin sleep over with Karle and Kahle
10. Started her first antibiotic to clear up this nasty cough (had her first chest X-ray as a result too)
Loving every minute with this sweet girl.

Greta's bedtime ritual
Greta has never been an easy one to get to bed. When she was a baby, id nurse her and she'd fall asleep. Then when I stopped nursing her, I'd rock her to sleep, every night. Now that she's in s big girl bed, she liked lots of stories and then someone to lay with her until she falls asleep. And who knows how long this could take.
So I've started laying with her and then leaving while she's still awake. Ryan usually lays with her until she falls asleep or he does. So now Greta has been requesting Ryan take her to bed.
Well last night. He did. And then I went in after she snuck out. I left before she was sleeping and came to do some work in the couch.
This is what I found when I went to bed around ... Sweet baby!
Sound asleep in her door way!
Birthday adventure
I switched my work days this week so I could have off Greta's birthday. With somewhat nice weather we headed to Domino farms petting farm to crack out some animals - which Greta loves. Her favorite.. The bunnies. I think she could have sat there the entire time just holding a bunny. She was in love.
Then we went for pancakes... Her choice. And the waitress brought her chocolate pancakes with chocolate chips... Not really what I ordered but Greta was so happy I didn't bother sending them back.
Then home for a rest it I hoped... But don't happen.
Then off to swimming with the whole family. And finally home to open presents and have cake and ice cream.
Greta said it was a great birthday!
