Sniffles go away!

Sniffles, sniffles go away! Little Rory wants to play. I could have been outside today, making my first snowman. Alas, I’m still home with a cold. Its a good thing I have many toys to keep me entertained.

Ah-chee

Pricess Aurora
Had wheezles, and sneezles,
They bundled her into her bed.
They gave her what goes
With a cold in the nose,
And some more for a cold in the head.

Princess Aurora
Will get up the next morning,
The sneezles will vanish away.
And the look in her eye
Seemed to say to the sky,
“Now how to amuse them today?”

Poop-Oop-a-Doop

I’ve had very good results using the potty, but today came my biggest success as I went number two in the potty for the first time!

Food Connoisseur

Now that I have tried rice, oatmeal, and barley cereals, its time for me to expand my food pallet and move on to vegetables and fruit. I’ve asked my mom if she can help me cook butternut squash for lunch, especially since dad just bought us a brand new food processor.

Presents from afar

Dear Polish Santa Claus,                                                                                                  Sent me presents from the North,                                                                               Warmest mittens, boots, and vest.                                                                                    Jadviga,  Andrzej, you’re the best!

And thanks, Inessa, for the dress :)

High Tech Baby

My friend Sabrina stopped by yesterday evening for a quick visit. We have not seen each other in a long while and I was very glad she was able to come and say “hi”. She brought a gift for me and when I opened it, I could not believe it. My very first computer! I was too tired to try it out yesterday, but I couldn’t wait to wake up and play with it today. When I pressed a button and lights came on, I forgot to breath for a second.

Assembly instructions

Some time ago my grandparents got me a highchair to use in their house. Its been standing there for a while and being a good granddaughter that I am, I volunteered to put it together.  I came up with an easy five step assembly instructions that will work for any furniture assembly.

Step 1: Unpack everything

Step 2: Find the most interesting part and see if it tastes as Continue reading

ID please

Since I’m a very spontaneous person and like to travel on short notice, I decided it was time for me to get a US passport. I filled out an application, made an appointment at a post office, and had my first official picture taken. For now, I just have to sit and wait, and let my imagination take flight thinking what exotic places I will visit next.

Measuring up

I had my six months doctor’s appointment yesterday. It was a routine check up where the doctor weighed and measured me as usual. I tipped the scale at almost 16lb (15lb 14oz to be exact) and measured 26 3/4in. So today, I decided to see if I grew some more over night (it’s a known fact that babies grow faster when they sleep). But measuring oneself is not as easy as it looks.

 

 

Aunts are the best

I had a very fun weekend, since my aunts and uncle came to visit. We haven’t seen each other since the last year, so they brought me lots of presents. I was a very good host, did not go to sleep even for a minute. I was entertaining the the best I could: playing games, laughing, blowing raspberries, and singing. I think they should come over more often, because they are so much fun to hang out with.
