B and Her New Tricks

B is pulling up constantly and loves bath time so much. She loves mirrors and ceiling fans more than ever. She also likes touching the tv and staring at her reflection in the oven door. She tries to climb up the walls while I'm standing or sitting. She talks all of the time. She has discovered my ears and likes to pull them while she drinks her bottle.

On Thursday afternoon we went to playgroup at the Parenting Center. B loves that place, but sometimes the toys gross me out because a lot of them are really dirty. I wish they would raise the yearly fee to belong to the Parenting Center and use the money to hire a toy cleaner. We went to Katherine's and she played with Lola and her Uncle Peter. Aunt Attie stopped by too. B does a new trick where she opens and closes her mouth whenever the three of us sing. It's like she's trying to sing too.

On Friday morning we went to the Park then we met Jenn C. for lunch at Sun Ray Grill. While we were eating it started to pour and of course I had parked 2 blocks away. Since I was pretty soaked and the weather was awful we went home instead of going to see Krista and the babies. We're going to visit them tomorrow. Attie and Katherine came over in the afternoon and Betsy and I performed our new trick. I scream then she screams. It sounds lame, but it's really cute. On Friday night we went to see Katie C.'s new house; it's so pretty. Then we went to eat dinner at Fellini's. B ate hummus and pita bread and feta cheese.

On Saturday we went to the Mid City Art Market with Marme then later we went shopping with the sisters. I am searching for B's birthday decorations and I haven't found ones that I love so far. Peter and Grandpa worked on the downstairs all day yesterday and P continued working today. Last night I stayed up until 1:30 to finish Harry Potter. All last week I was so paranoid that I would somehow find out how it ended. What a relief.

Today I brought B to Bee's and she and Papa Vic took B swimming at Camp Pleasant. It was nice to have time to get some things done at home and B had a blast. Tonight P and I had pizza and we discovered that B loves pepperoni. She sat at P's feet and he fed her bits of pepperoni--there is a pic of it below.
