family feet

maddux was asked to trace all of our feet for a "foot book" his class makes. each child provides the 'feet' of their family on a page, they are laminated and put all together. then each child gets a chance to bring the "foot book" home overnight.

mason did this last year and had us all draw rainbows, maddux said that we could draw whatever we wanted. i accidentally drew on the back of daddy's so my was a little plain and maddux made me add "stripes"before he left for school. looking back at last year's family feet, i am a little worried about how we will all fit when it is manning's turn to do this assignment. i guess we will have to put some on the back?

he was quite pleased with the finished product. love.

just another thursday

nothing too exciting today. i moved her up to two meals (oatmeal cereal and sweet potatoes) and she is really liking drinking from a real cup. it is pretty cute to see her try to get her mouth to the top of the cup - it takes some help from me to actually get the water into her mouth, but she tries really hard to do it herself. (maybe i can get some video this weekend with matt's help.)

the other thing that provided her with loads of entertainment was kicking her heels on our console under the t.v. i am not sure if it is the feeling or the sound that entertains her, but today was the first she has kicked her heels on this piece of furniture and it got a laugh or two before the novelty wore off.

this last picture is of her in her high chair while i made dinner. like i have mentioned before, she really likes her feet. this results in her getting to them any way she can. i kept having to come over and put it back through the leg hole. i finally went and got one of her toys so that she would stop trying to play with her feet.

i am exhausted, so its bedtime for me. have a great night! love.
