REWIND

Rewind

As a child, it is fun to spit watermelon seeds. As an adult, it is an inconvenience. I tried out a new produce place and their sweet baby melons were marked seedless, then I cut into it and it is filled with seeds. Not a big deal, but I was just disappointed...then I remembered when I was a kid that used to be my favorite part about eating watermelon.
So, it's detox for the hubs and myself for the next 2 weeks. Fruits, veggies and a few grains here and there. No meat. I need to be fit and fly, rockin my bikini with confidence on vacation! I wouldn't go that far, but I will feel better if I'm at least trying.heh. I will still stick to my moto...if you don't like it, don't look! That's the least of my worries though. I'm starting to get super nervous about the 8 hour car ride to get to Myrtle Beach. That's a lot for a baby. But, we have decided to leave around 2am, so a bulk of it will be when she is sleeping....hopefully. I'm sure she will not stay asleep or get the sound sleep she is used to in her crib, but we are going to hope for the best.

Ma-ma-ma is being shouted aloud today! I'm not one of those naive Moms that thinks she knows what she is referring to at 6 months old, so I know it is only a sound that she has mastered. But, there is still something gratifying about hearing it. She has many sounds like da-da, ba-ba, ga-ga, even blah-blah, but today she mastered ma-ma and woke up saying it. *smile* I was just telling my husband this morning, as we were watching the monitor, I love when she wakes up, looking around, talking, waiting for us to come in. She is such a happy little person and develops new "tricks" every day. There is this sneeze type thing she has been cracking the entire family up with for about a week. I'll have to upload the video later. I love all of the new exciting things that come along with growing, but I just want to hit the rewind button! I want to go back to January 27th and experience this all over again....I just have to assure myself we will. *wink* It truly is the most amazing thing, to watch a baby grow into their personality and boy, does she have one!

I'll leave you with this picture that makes me laugh...

I find the fact that they are making the same exact face, well, hilarious.
