Memories from 2010

February 3, 2010

No nap for Allie today. I heard her talking in her crib for about an hour; then I heard the pitter patter of little feet upstairs followed by, "I'm awake, Mommy. I'm awake!" She's figured out how to get out on her own! Hmm...this could be trouble.

Allie just had her first piece of gum. It went like this: "Allie, we don't swallow gum we just chew it." "Okay, I chewing it!" "Allie, where is your gum?" "I ate it." hmmm...maybe not quite ready for that yet.

According to Allison: Her baby sister will be born 'in about thirty years' and her name will be 'Duty Calls'. hahahaha I sure hope she is wrong on both accounts.

Dear Baby C:
It has come to my attention that you have become too comfortable with your current living situation. Your lease condition of 40 weeks O days was completed on September 29th, 2010. I am writing to inform you of your impending eviction. You have until tomorrow before you will be forced from the premises. We look forward to making your acquaintance!
Sincerely,
Your loving mother and landlady

Allie: "I don't want to be bigger mommy. I want to stay little forever!”

To whom it may concern: In my recent order, I specifically requested the infant model that sleeps. I received my infant over two months ago, and things were going swimmingly until just recently. It appears she has malfunctioned. I realize all sales are final, but is there a reset button? A customer service number, perhaps? Sincerely, Tired-in-MD

Me: Allie, please do not swing from the treadmill. Allie: [following me while mumbling and swinging her arms about in a wand-ish fasion] I'll show you, you mommy. I'm going to turn you into a PIGGY! hahahaha
