4 Things I like to do on my Blanket (keep it clean, I'm only 3.5 months old!)

Disclaimer for the Masselinks: Mom said that it's not THAT blanket. (I don't know what she's talking about. Crazy woman.) I *love* my quilt from Aunt Karie. It's my favorite.

1. I like to BASK in the sunlight. I'm just learning what sunlight is. It's very bright. But I think I'm going to like it.

*

2. I like to play with Mom. She's silly and sings me songs and reads me books. Then it's my turn and I sing songs and read books to her. *hehe* Mommy and Daddy say I'm loud and my voice carries. They think I got it from Papa Borck. I don't know what they're talking about, I'm just making sure everyone remembers it's all about me!

*

3. I like to drool. Check out the big slimy one below. Mom and Dad have renamed me "drool-bucket". I guess it's cause I'm doing it alot.

*

4. Tummy time. I used to not like tummy time.

*hehe* But now I think it's pretty great.

I *almost* rolled over on my own today, tummy to my back. I have done all of the movements for rolling on my own, I just haven't linked them together yet. But I did get Mom all excited yesterday and got her to get the camera out. She videotaped me for a while, then her SD card would run out of room and she had to delete the video and start over again. It was funny. And I still wouldn't roll over for her. *hehe*

Grrrr

i have a couple of blogs to catch up on. but blogger is being a pain in my tush and is giving me trouble uploading the pictures. and as it is the perfect saturday morning so far, i'm not going to give in to the frustration, but instead, i will travel to the mall with my adorable daughter and shop for shoes for a certain wedding next weekend. so stay tuned for more updates, coming soon.

Fine.

Fine. Here's the mailbox story. Since some 'anonymous' person/people really really really really want(s) to hear it.

I texted Travis on Tuesday morning to see if Adalynn had woken yet. I get a text back 'call ya in a min'. Ok, I think, he's busy with our sweet daughter. Nope. He had let the dogs out, looked out the window, and said to himself, "hmmm. Odd new lawn ornament." Our neighbor's brother's girlfriend (figure that out) had backed out of their driveway, over the street, and ended up ON our mailbox ON the 3' tall snowbank. In a Bonneville. Quite impressive. So Travis got to be the 'manly man' and pull the F250 card and tow her Off the snowbank. (of note: this is the 2nd time he has had to pull this car off a snowbank. her boyfriend got it stuck on a snowbank in their driveway a couple of weeks ago.) Her boyfriend came over later and said, "Yea, she's having a bad day." (what gave him the first clue?) "She spilled coffee on herself on the way to school too". Total insult to injury. So in order to fix the lack of mailbox, in true redneck fashion, Travis filled a 5 gallon bucket with concrete and sank the 4x4. It is a gorgeous new addition to our house. We may keep it like this. Forever. (just kidding honey. i want it fixed at the first thaw. pulleeze!)

Finally, a day off.

New outfits were worn.

Ahhhh. It was a good day.

Happy March!

Thank God for a little bit of sunshine today! It was nice out, about 37deg still when I got home from work, so we decided to introduce Adalynn to the great outdoors. She loved being outside - and she laughed at randomness for the first time today. Banks and Rocky began to fight loudly over a stick, and all the sudden Adalynn cracked up laughing at them. She did this 4 or 5 times, it was hilarious. She seems to like Banks better than Rocky at this point, but then again, Banks also returns the favor and likes her more than the Rock does. I love baby giggles!

Happy New Hat Day!
