It's been a while...

Has it already been a week since my last post? Things have been very busy! After a very enjoyable girl's night in at Rachel's house on Friday night, Emily Sanders & I got up early and went to the Jr. League yard sale on Saturday. Mom kept Hannah for me so I was off mommy duty for a few hours. I love being with Hannah but it was nice to have a break and not have to worry about bottles & dirty diapers. I was there to shop in peace. When we got to the yard sale, the police were directing traffic so Emily & I decided we would just find the closest parking space and walk. We thought we were being smart since neither of us like traffic or shopping for a parking place. We shopped for an hour or so. We met up with Susan & Kim who already had a load of stuff. I ended up buying an exersaucer (sp?), a few books, pj's for Hannah, an outfit for Hannah, a dress, a very large toy, and a booster seat. Emily bought a lot of books and a Christmas decoration that was in a very bulky box. Now parking across the street a mile away didn't seem like such a good idea! After we paid for our stuff we began to haul everything to the car. Everything was going along fine until the large toy I bought began to fall apart as we were crossing the street. We dropped pieces all along the highway and people began to honk at us. Emily ran back to get one of the pieces and then another fell off so she kicked it. The piece went flying across the street and landed in a very stinky drainage ditch. I was on the side of the road about to wet my pants from laughing so hard! Needless to say we left the shelf in the nasty water. Luckily it wasn't an important piece. We had to drive across the street to pick up the rest of the toy that we dropped on the other side of the road. I know people thought we were crazy! Maybe you had to be there to think this is funny but if you could have seen us I am sure you would be laughing!

Today I saw something that made me roll my eyes! :0) I was in Babies R' Us, which is one of my favorite stores. (I could spend hours in that store! I know where everything is but I still love to browse around in there.) I was looking in the "safety" section. I think you should baby proof your house - outlet plugs, drawer locks, toilet locks, etc. but then I saw something that caught my eye. It was a pad to put on your babies knees so they could crawl. They looked like a less padded bicycle pad with gauze wrapped around it. Are you kidding me? I almost laughed out loud. I will do anything to protect Hannah from being hurt but babies knees are made for them to be able to crawl on them! Do we need to protect them from something natural? Unless you are letting them crawl on rocks, I think their little knees will be okay. Plus Hannah would find a way to get it off and it would be in her mouth. That is just one more way to get people's money.

Hannah update - Since she said Da-da last week I haven't heard it come out of her mouth since then. I will keep working with her and let you know. She did pull up for the first time at church Sunday night! She will not pull up at home but this morning in Ladies Bible Class she pulled up on the bench again. My baby is getting so big!!!! I am in trouble when she starts walking because she is already very curious!

Well I think I have blogged about a little bit of everything today! I hope I didn't bore you too bad! Happy Hump Day!
