other stuff

I have a minute - so some things I've been forgetting to post...

After Maya came back from Babçia's last week we were having dinner at home.
Papa inquired, "Maya, did you learn anything this week?"
Babçia replied, "We've been talking about eventually."

Papa asked, "Maya, what is eventually?"

Maya answered, "It means the marker will come off."

HA HA

Genna's progress - OK Genna cannot roll yet, she is basically a lazy lump.  But she can talk.  She says "Mama" all day long.  Aunt Joy can vouch for this!  (yes - I know she is not really talking)

Maya got PRINCESS sheets for her big girl bed from Aunt Courtney & Grandma.  We set it up and she played "sleeping" in it all day.  She was so excited to sleep in it.  In fact she's been asking to for weeks.  But bedtime came and she still wanted to go in the crib.  This weekend the crib IS going to Genna's room, so her days are numbered!  

Finally - a potty progress report.  Maya has been napping in panties ALL WEEK - successfully.  (on a related note - she is actually willingly wearing panties all day, after a summer of going commando).  Tonight we even went out to eat with no diaper!  (We're not a PULL-ups family - so there's really been no middle ground).  We're so proud of her!  She is also dying to wear undies to bed (overnight) - but that is far from happening!

In yoga this is called the HAPPY BABY POSE.

Obviously!

Still busy busy busy!

We had a very nice visit with Aunt Courtney.  Thanks to her I got a lot of diapers finished.  Still have a lot to go in the next 2 weeks, though.  Visit my other site if you want to see pics of my new stuff.

Did I mention it's a busy month.... and that Genna is a good sleeper???  Well the month is still busy - but Genna has not been upholding her good reputation.  She's back to waking between 2:30 - 4:00 am.  Not fun!  The Boyan-hauling date is really "moving" in on us too - so we have to clear out our current spaces by this weekend to make room for their stuff next weekend..... and Jeff will be out of town ALL next week prior to heading to Chicago.

Oh - also - our camera died - so unless I use up older yet-un-blogged pics - we'll be photoless for a while..... as if I have time for camera research/shopping........ ANY SUGGESTIONS for what kind of new camera we should get????

oh so busy

     This is an incredibly busy month.  We have been to Indy and Chicago in the past 2 weeks.  Got part one of claim-the-Boyan's-stuff done..... (the easy part).  The next part will involve a giant Uhaul at the end of this month.  I keep thinking of thoughts to add to the blog - but haven't the time...what I really need to spend my free time doing is sewing.  I have scheduled myself to participate in a mom-to-mom sale on October 2nd so I need to bump up my diaper inventory PRONTO.
     I caved this week and let Babcia and Grandpa keep Maya for a few days.  I am actually getting a ton of sewing done.  We miss Maya and got to SKYPE her this morning.  She was predominately interested in what Genna was doing.  Man she LOVES her GennaBean.  I am sure Genna will be squeezed to pieces when Maya returns tomorrow.


     I have been meaning to comment on what a wonderful baby Genna is.  When Maya was little everyone always said how good she was and beware-the-next-one-will-be-trouble!  But dare I say, Genna is even easier.  She is a very happy little girl and a great sleeper.  We lucked out twice!  So "HA" to the naysayers.
