Phases

Ania goes through phases where all she wants is me then the next all she wants is Tom. She's going through teething and I have no idea which teeth but she's not in the best of moods. And she wants nothing to do with me. All she wants is Tom. When I try to put her to bed she screams so loud and then when she goes to Tom she lays her head down and knocks out.

She may have a case of the daddy's girl.

Kool with a "k"

I was wondering what kool with a k looked like and I found it. See below

Birthday parties

Today was Anias first classmate birthday party. It was very fun! In short, they had a puppeteer, face painters, all homemade food, potatoes with caviar and champagne. It was a party for both parents and kids, can't complain about that ;)

On a side note, I did a little change

Reviews

Reviews can make or break a place. At first I was going crazy, but Im not the one crazy. Word by mouth helps parents with kids. I'm posting my review today.

Sticker Fun

2 glasses of wine. TV watching.  Home alone. 

Tom is on a business trip and I'm just galavanting.  Anyway, I took these photos a few days ago and Ania had some sticker fun.  She got these for her birthday and she enjoyed them

and a stolen photo from the Houston Zoo website.  One more fun photo, a couple weeks ago we went to Liliana's 2nd birthday party = Ania's first time at the jungle gym

I'm not at the club

Ania is a pretty good sleeper but last night was another one of those nights. She didn't sleep until 2am. I blame it on the teeth. She goes through spurts when she's teething when this happens. Thankfully Tom helped out and took one for the team since he's leaving for a business trip today. So I technically wasnt up all night as if I were in a club.

It is frustrating because I dont know which teeth are coming in because she won't show them to me. Right now Ania has 4 at the top coming in and 3 at the bottom. Her teeth are spread apart at the top. It's a little comical but I'm preparing if shell need braces for those toofers. Lol. I have to brush them after I give her night bottle but once she's on whole milk full time I'll think about weening her off the bottle.

She's starting to cruise a bit, just waiting for those steps. Sometimes I feel like she's so close!!

On to more randomness, we have started to go out to eat on Fridays. Just to celebrate the end of a work week. First, it was sushi she loved and last week we tried happy hour specials. It was great!! We went to city center, my first time there and it's a whole different world. I enjoyed it and we're going to try another restaurant. Their happy hour menu is 3.95 for some really good choices! Can't wait. And Ania enjoys the people watching.

Here's Ania reading with her laking and baying

Wednesday

Just a few random comments about Ania boo. She's learning how to walk. If we hold her hands, she takes steps. Today I held only one hand and she took a few steps. She's really trying. She'll take one step then fall.

Buying shoes for Ania is tough. She has very narrow and petite feet (as my mom says). Shoes 6-9 months are still big for her. I've bought her 12-18 months just so she'll grow into them. Maybe she won't have my giant feet but its too close to call.

The daycare put two ponytails today. Ania looked pretty cute but it still doesn't help her straight hair cause. I love it.

Here we are exploring the front yard. We try and take short strolls after work
