Random thoughts.....

So Cayleigh is 15 months already. I thought I'd write my thoughts down so one day I can look back on them! She is really becoming quite the little chatter bug, she can say, mama, dada, grandma, granddad, nana(banana), ninner(dinner), meese(please), ha-ho(for some reason, means sorry!), baby, sock, eww, duck, gabba(for her show), hot and is beginning to say I love you, good girl. She LOVES the song Damaged by Danity Kane. Her favorite show is Yo Gabba Gabba, but does the hand sign for blue's clues. She loves to dance to any kind of music and has a really good beat. She loves playing outside and at the park. She is still taking 2 naps a day, which is fine with me! She is a tiny tot on the scale, only 20lbs, 14oz at her 15 month checkup, but growing steadily. She is becoming more and more like her mom and dad as far as stubbornness goes. If you ask her if she wants to get out of the tub she makes a pfff sound, like no way! When you take her socks off or after she takes a drink, she says ahh! She is a very happy girl, who can light up a room. If you take her out anywhere, SOMEONE will stop us because Cayleigh is waving at them! She now does the touchdown sign with her arms, but will only do it if football is on! She loves mandarin oranges, and pretty much any fruit. She loves her yogurt bites as a snack, and thanks to her grammy, wants to dip anything possible. She is learning to feed herself, which is quite the messy adventure. She sleeps in her crib for most of the night, but wakes up and we bring back to our bed, which is some of my fondest moments, just laying there with my little family, in awe of creating something so innocent and perfect. She carries a juice/water cup around all day with her. she loves climbing on things she isn't supposed to, the ottoman, the couch, her toy. She stand there with this look of being so proud and nervous, because she knows she is about to get into trouble. She loves going to the Amish market, because she knows she will share a pretzel with her mommy. She loves taking her shoes out and bringing them to me. She started going on the potty, but has become less impressed by her treats! She poops in the tub on occasion and then won't want to take a bath for the next week, saying eww when she sees the tub(even if it is clean!). She still doesn't like the car ride, but if you ask her if she wants to go see grammy, she gets excited. She loves her aunts, calls them by her version of their name, says Amanda best. She likes to kiss her baby dolls, feed them, put them to sleep and hit them from time to time! She likes to chase and be chased around the house. She can leave our apartment(with us of course) and knows which way to the elevator. She hates hats. She is beginning to color and seems to like that. She favors her left hand to her right. She likes to read and be read to. Her favorite books are Pat the Bunny, Barnyard dance, Pajamatime, and Moo, Baa, La La La. She knows what a duck, cow, rhinocerous, horse, and sheeps says. This could go on forever, but things change so fast with a little one, and your memory can only hold so much before it begins to fade so I want to try to write it all down!

I'm interested to know what a rhino says. Tal has a rhino in one of his books and I am sure I don't make the right sound.

10 is...

I decided to pop back into my blog and reminisce, and boy is it sad. All of my pictures are gone, thanks to a company wanting $400 to publish them. At least I have my words...On that note, I thought I'd write a bit of what 10 looks like: -Eating a bowl of cereal and a pop tart EVERY morning -Really starting to cooking unassisted. She made a 2 layer cake this week and thanks to a 2 hour delay I got pancakes. Teaching her to cook has been pretty cool.  -Begging me for a cup of coffee because she wants to be grown up. I let her have 1/2 a cup here and there-they say it stunts your growth. I say she is 5 foot 2 inches now so that's a lie. -Texting her friends and playing computer games with them as much as she is allowed. -Watching Hallmark movies day and night with me and Marvel movies with her dad. She is well rounded. -Still loving soccer, but recognizing that sometimes coaches can take away the sparkle of it. -Being 5'1" and wearing a bigger s...

Black Bean burritos

We have really been on a mexican food kick lately. We have mexican at least twice a week, and the only downside is that Cayleigh isn't a huge fan, though she will eat quesadillas and now randomly has a new love for salsa. Lord, don't ask her to eat a chicken fajita, the world may end. Tonight's dinner was Black Bean burritos. I used this recipe as a base for my burritos, but did change it up a bit. Here is what I used, I will put in bold the changes I made: 2 (10 inch) flour tortillas (I used 4) 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (I only used 1/2, and used mostly pam) 1 small onion, chopped (I used a purple onion) 1/2 red bell pepper, chopped 1 teaspoon minced garlic 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained 1 teaspoon minced jalapeno peppers (I used fresh) 3 ounces cream cheese (I used half a block) 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro I added a half a piece of chicken breast-it goes so much farther with beans Also added a handful of cut up fresh cher...

And the verdict is.....

Sinus Infection. I went to the doctor's today after work and he said I had a pretty bad sinus infection. In my experience, it is definitely my worst one of my life. My head hurts, my eyes are super red and irritated from the sneezing and blowing my nose a thousand times a day. Oh and my throat is scratchy and my ears are aching. I hate being sick. I hate going to the doctor's. I hate taking medicine, particularly medicine with no coating on it that are the size of my pinky finger. It is still raining, with no real end in sight. Hmm...anything else I can complain about? I want to keep it all in this post and just get it all out now so I can get over it! Well there was the fact that my doctor prescribed me eye drops and when I went to pick them up, it was $50!!! Forget it, I will suffer. I will take my $7 generic antibiotic and suffer with red, sore eyes. Ok, enough for today. I promise to be brighter when I am feeling better.
