Playing & Eating

Sorry for the short vacation with the posts. I've been sleepy in the evenings & just couldn't find the time to post any sooner! Give me a break...I have a active 1-year-old and I am 7 1/2 months pregnant & working full time in a job that loves to have after-school-meetings! What more can I say?

Anyway...here is what we've been up to anyhow the past week!

Playing "Downst"

"Downst" can easily be translated from the native Bethanese to the English word "downstairs." Bethany has really taken a liking to playing downstairs with the plethora of toys that are waiting for her down there. Since this weekend was a nice stay-at-home weekend, we had plenty of time to play downstairs (as well as outside!). You can notice in that sliver of the wall that is showing the new color that we (err...Cory) painted it recently. It is such a pretty, playful blue, it really cheers up the place. Plus, the cleanable, satin finish is a huge perk with the 1.5 kids we have. After all, they have half my chromosomes, which dooms them to a life of miserably-pathetic klutziness!

In Mommy's Chair
Bethany has upgraded herself to a big-girl chair during meal times. Correction...to at-home-meal-times. She really doesn't want to be in the high chair and eats really well in a big chair. So no harm, no foul, right!?!? For every meal now, she automatically goes to my chair to eat. In the picture she is eating her Sunday breakfast of "ravits" (aka raviolis). Yes, spinach and cheese raviolis were her breakfast of choice today. For the record, I did make and offer her some cinnamon rolls. But she insisted on her "ravits." Who am I to judge, my food cravings are just as crazy!
