a BIG day!

What a bloggable day!

1) Made the first batch of apple chips this fall

2) Genna can sit by herself, unsupported!

3) The Boyans Shipped off to the islands.... with only 10 boxes!  Can you imagine whittling your worldly possessions down to 10 boxes! Kuddos to them!  And on  another unimaginable note, MOM actually started a BLOG!  Where you can read about their Bon Voyage Party........which I forgot to blog about (1) because it was a secret, so I wasn't leaving details about it here and (2) since it occurred, I've been too busy!

Blog: The Log of Exit Strategy

4) Finished Maya's Halloween Costume... which she may wear everyday now (instead of the jammies)

5) I ordered our new camera!  Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH20

  Yay!  Let the photoshoots recommence!  (Good news for #2 & #4 above!)

aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!

that is my big sigh of relief that the diaper sale is OVER!
It went really well.  I sold out of all my Pocket Dipes in an hour and a half.  There was only 1 wet bag, 1 bamboo fitted, and 1 cover left over.  Now (bite nails) I just sit back and wait for the reviews.......!

Now I have time to:

• research what new camera to get
• step it up on teaching Genna to roll over
• start new session of swim lessons with Maya
• begin feeding Genna solids (she's SO READY & WILLING - I just haven't had time for spoon-duty yet)
• Reorient the house after Boyan-furniture overload
• Make apple sauce & apple "kips"
• relax more!  ha!

Scratch that - Jeff thinks we need to garage sale half of the items in our basement....there goes free time.

It's Natural!

Jeff seemed alarmed the other day when he noticed Maya was playing with her baby.  She was feeding her dollie.......ok, she was "nursing" the baby.  He alerted me to this like I should be aware.
Uh yeah, duh!  That IS how you feed a baby!  I'm proud of Maya for recognizing this fact and practicing being a good little mommy.  Sometimes she asks to feed Genna.  I tell her that she cannot really feed a baby until she is older and a real mommy.  So she thinks Genna might wait for her to do that!
So if you happen to witness some random act of nursing (make believe or otherwise) just play it cool, like it's NATURAL........ because it is!
