Chewing on Wires

August10



We still haven’t run the network wire under our house for my computer, so it is run across the floor. Now that she has started to crawl, she often finds it. Here is one such example.

I am trying to teach her not to chew on it, but I am losing quickly.

When Daphne Works with Dad

August10




Sometimes I manage to hand Daphne to her dad while he is working, and she gets to sit with him.

Because she has found keyboards and liked to pound on them because they click, he has set aside a calcluator that she gets to play with. She chews on it and throws it on the floor, but this is a photo of her and her daddy while she still has he calculator in hand.

Mom spent her entire break photographing this trying to get the perfect smile out of dad.

Wrapped Around the Table Leg

August10




The other day she was chewing on her foot, but she had managed to get two limbs wrapped around our coffee table leg. It was pretty funny.

Here is the end of it, and then she decided to crawl away. Or at least try to. She is getting really close.

I’m trying to enjoy the time now because I know that mobile baby is not far off *sniff*

Playing with Mom

August10



I was telling Jared yesterday that there were almost no photos of her and I but that there are lots of photos of him and her. Here is one of the rare ones of Daphne and I taken by Jared.

We were playing around. Specifically squishing her cheeks with her feet because she made a really funny face with her big, blue eyes when I did that.

She is so much of a riot. What a happy baby.

Reading Baby

August10





She really likes to read. Here is my proof.

She likes this book a lot. We read one book every day at least, and she has just started to get into the phase where she wants to grab them all.

She chewed apart half of my school schedule yesterday while I was reading it, and when I got to those pages she was chewing and drooling on, they were all stuck together and illegible. Oh well…. Hope I didn’t need to take any of those classes!

I am a big Dr. Seuss fan, so that is what we are reading now. I hope to progress on to something else, but I’m not sure were to go from here.

Cute Baby

August10


I just like this picture. I don’t really have anything else to say about it but that.

I’ve Got My Feet

August10



She is really flexible, and she loves to hold on to her feet. As an added bonus, she often is able to chew on her feet to, which I think is simply adorable.

It is hard to get this on camera. Trust me, I have been trying to for a month, but the camera hog knows when I have a camera out, so she just sits and looks pretty when I pull it out.

I snuck up on her with this one!

New High Chair

August10





I didn’t want to get one of those high chairs that takes up a lot of room and that is easy to trip over. I kind of wish that we had one now because I often want to cool with her near me, now that she is able to sit up and be interested in things.

We got one of those kinds of chairs that clips right onto the table. She sits right between us at all meals, and she will even sit there and watch me cook. It is a lot of fun for sure. Here she is enjoying the chair (and chewing on her watermelon).

Chewing on Mom

August10


Any baby that is teething will tell you that the best activity possible is chewing on something. Mom is the favored thing to chew on, as pictured here.

We were at the dinner table, and she wanted something to chew on too.

New Cloth Diapers

August10



I am becoming somewhat of a cloth diapering freak.

My friend Julie has cloth diapered two babies, and she lent me some diapers because she was able to recently potty train her 2 year old.

I was using Chinese prefolds for everything because they are cheap, and they were all I knew. Julie lent me one of her AIO (all in one) diapers. They are just like a disposable diaper, only you wash it (and it is made of cloth). They rock, Here is the one Julie lent me on Daphne.

I am now an AIO believer. They are a little more expensive (ok, a lot more), but they last for many babies, and they are damn cute, not to mention way easier to deal with.
