Addiction to Day-o (aka Elmo)


We think Hallie is officially addicted to Elmo.  He's got Hallie mesmorized!

I realized about a month ago that Seasme Street came on from 7:00 to 8:00 in the morning, so I turned it on for her to watch before daycare.  Elmo's World comes on the last 15-20 minutes of the program.  Now, anytime she looks at the tv she says "Day-o" (which is how she says Elmo).


She also loves peanut butter! She'll even eat it off of a spoon!

We've had a rough two weeks, with Hallie getting hand, foot, mouth disease at the end of April and we had some very tense moments of pain!  Then, Jason got it as well, so we're hopefully going on the uphill instead of the downhill now!

I found this post as a draft that I must have forgotten to actually posted from 1/23/11.

I titled it "What I've learned about parenting"...Here it is..remember it's from when Hallie was about 5 months old!

"Bibs make the best baby fashion accessory!
One must wait at least a few minutes after the last "rumble down under" is heard.
She is determined to fit her whole fist in her mouth one day.
A weekly (if not more) daddy or mommy nap is a must! (That is her napping on our chest)
Enjoy that she thinks we're funny right now; she won't think that forever
It is a bit depressing when they change diaper sizes and clothes sizes.
Thunder thighs and fat rolls are only cute on babies!"

As a follow up, here's what I'd say now!

"Lack of communication is the hardest thing with a toddler!
Parenting can bring out the best and worst in me!
I miss those daddy and mommy naps, but am glad she's in her bed! 
At least we get some daddy and mommy naps when she's sick.
Getting a full night's rest is the best thing ever!
I have no idea what I'm doing with this parenting thing! It's the craziest adventure ever!"
