Weekend Videos

Alright - over the weekend I took some videos of Liliana. The first three were all in a row. She was eating and pooping - and it was SO funny. I had to pull out the camera and video tape her...yes, video tape her pooping. BUT, she was a little stinker. (in more ways than one.)

The first time I pulled out the camera, she did this:

The burp at the end is hilarious to me!

So then we move on...it seemed that every time I turned on the camera to record and the little orange light flashed - she would stop pooping and make her cheeser face for the camera. But she just thought I was taking a picture and when she did not see the flash and I kept holding the camera there - she would make the face again.

Next - she does this hands-to-face thing when you say "oh no" and as you heard in the previous video...I had started saying that -

We have a walker! Evan's phone was on the floor - as a bribe to get her to walk so I could get it on camera! This was taken just a few days ago - I need to get new video because she is doing much better at walking than this video as she is a little wobbly yet.

Liliana is just SO much fun! This morning I walked in her room and she was standing in her crib and she got so excited to see me she squealed and starting jumping in her crib. Hilarious!!! And she always makes her cheeser face for the camera. It is so fun to see her personality really start to show.





These pictures were taken the same day as the videos...she just kept cheesin it up!

WTF!! Commenter - You're in trouble

I do not know who posted "WTF!!" on my post 'Another' and 'Chop Liver' - but I am mad.

For those of you who do not know, the standard meaning of "WTF" is What the Fu**

Now - I could see the comment being posted on 'Chop Liver' - but NOT 'Another'...that is too far, that is about my daughter.

NOW, I also realize that there could be other meanings of "WTF"
For instance:

Wow, that's funny!
Where's the fly?
What's the fuss?
so on and so forth

So - to whomever posted that, you better redeem yourself. Re-post and let me know what it is you really meant by those letters.

This is making me re-think having comments open to anyone - meaning you would have to sign in to post a comment. It is also making me re-think having an open blog - meaning you would have to be invited by me to read my blog. I will most likely make these changes within 24 hours if there is no response to this because I am that upset about it. It was uncalled for.

And if you think I am going to far for something that seems so trivial - it is not trivial to me, I will not apologize, and I do have my period. You picked the wrong week to make that comment.

Another

Let's go for broke - 3 posts in one day. Now you probably won't hear from me for months!

I heard Liliana cry a little bit ago - I knew the cry. I walked in there and she is sitting up, but still half asleep and falling asleep. So sweet. She is sitting up, holding a paci in her hand and rubbing the sheets with it. Then she tried to get the paci in her mouth - which on normal occasions she is very good at - but just could not turn it around to get the right side of the paci in her mouth.

She still has no idea I am in the room. She then puts her hand down and starts nodding off. Then she moves her hands around and finds a second paci and has both paci's in her one hand and puts them to her mouth and one makes it in. She sort of looks at me, but it was like she did not even see me. And then she just laid down and went back to sleep.

It was the cutest and saddest thing all at the same time.

It is so cute to see the different positions they sleep in! My favorite is butt in the air and feet crossed - this is not from tonight, it is from last week:

Chop Liver

Yep - I go from never posting to posting twice in one day. Go figure.

This one will be short - because really, who am I but just chop liver.

Today was an unexpected day off for me. It has been wonderful! Just wonderful! Liliana and I drove out to see Evan at work - and this is where I realized I mean nothing anymore since Liliana is around.

Evan does come out to "help me." But I find he just swipes Liliana from my arms and I am carrying everything else. Evan opens the first door and I walk in and stand there and wait for him to open the next door for me - as this is normal in our relationship - oh, he opens the door alright...and walks right through almost knocking me over and leaving me behind. Thanks.

We go to the computer to get a name tag - he gets it to the screen it needs to be on and he steps aside and tells me to fill the stuff in. Apparently it would be easier for me to do since I had nothing in my hands - oh, wait...I did. Hmph.

So then we start walking around and every person we got to he introduced Liliana to them and I stood there. I could have sat at his desk and had more fun. If I did not introduce myself, I was invisible.

How did Liliana get in this world again????
That's right -
ready dear?
ME. I carried her full-term. I was in labor for 17.5 hours. I pushed for 1.5 hours. I did it naturally. Yep, that's right. You go right ahead and not acknowledge my presence. (did you want us to come visit again???)

1 Toe

Sunday morning. 7 am. I am asleep. Evan is asleep. Liliana is crying. I get up - and when I say "I get up" - I mean, my body gets out of bed, and my eyes open - but I sleep walk! lol Anyway, I go into Liliana's room and give her a paci, lay her back down and tell her it is too early to be up - go back to bed. And she does...so I go to leave and STUB MY FOOT ON THE DOOR FRAME. It was one of those stubbed-so-bad stubs that no scream came from my mouth. I just dropped to the floor and grabbed my foot.

Once I can let go of my foot to see what is going on - now remember, I am sleeping and now in shock and shocking bad pain - so my sight is not too clear, plus I do not have my glasses on. I look down and see on the top of baby toe a very strange looking blood blister.

I think it is amazing that there is this big ole door frame and one foot - but only one tiny toe got hurt.

I crawl into the bathroom and look again...now my sight is working a little better and I realize I am bleeding. Grand. I cut my toe. The tip of my toe - as if I was trying to take the tip of my toe off. The good news - I think that when I grabbed my foot, I pressed the flap of skin in place. So I meekly call Evan's name...and ask him to come bandage my toe. I was not sure how I was going to bandage the tip of my toe without using numerous band-aids and have it look hideous...and I would have to make sure the toe next to it stayed out of the way so a band-aid could be put on.

So my hubby put a band-aid of me, of which he did a really good job...and brought me the boo boo pack that we use for Liliana...thanks dear. He did actually bring me regular ice though.

So back to bed I went!

My toe is healing nicely! And Liliana slept until 9am that morning!

Cannot believe it -

I just cannot believe some things I read today -

Take for instance this: http://msn.foxsports.com/other/story/10050768/Firestorm-over-column-linking-kidnap-victim,-sports?GT1=39002 I read this guy's column and personally, did not find anything wrong with it. In fact, I thought it was kind of cool. Wouldn't you want to know what has been going on in the world? I thought it was sincere and light-hearted and yet he was criticized so much - he had to issue an apology. Ridiculous. It really got my goat.

People Magazine - let me just page through it and give you my gripes...

While I do this - did you watch Oprah today? The begining of the show was totally cool!

My B.I.L. had knee surgery this morning, all went well and he is at home recovering!

And did you know that you can order coffee at dunkin donuts to be half regular and half decaf? Just in case you are interested...I thought I would share that with you - seems that not everyone knew this and so have not been ordering that way eventhough they would like it that way.

Ok - Kathy Griffin - Has the "Kate" Hairstyle....blonde and all, not doin' it for me. You are a red head!

20 years since the movie When Harry Met Sally came out. Hilarious movie, one of my favorites! My friend got married and few years ago and now the street she lives on is Sheldon. Even more hilarious. Everytime, every single time, I address mail to her and write Sheldon - I make sure it stands out! If you have no clue what I am talking about, you are not a When Harry Met Sally fan and shame on you.

Apparently it is very important for us to know that Macaulay Culkin was at Michael Jackson's final farewell and "he went up to the casket and took a flower off it" - woah, stop the presses! Did they have nothing else to publish there?

Props to Mary J. Blige - when asked what her marriage secret is - she responds with "the key is praying." Could not be more true!

Here is news I did not know, and wish I did not know - Former Americal Idol contestant got married in Oak Brook, IL - the reason I wish I did not know...he married a guy. Oh, excuse me - they exchanged vows.

Have not heard the name Brian Boitano in a long time...he is cooking up a storm these days. Who knew he had interests outside of skating. He was an awesome skater! (Ice skating for those of you in the dark ages)

Amazing - really amazing...prosthetic tails, flippers and paws...no joke. Really cool that our animals are being taken care, even to the extreme of getting prosthetics. Even an Eagle's beak!

No one cares why Tyra lost 30 pounds...and Tyra, no one really cared to see you without your hair all done up.

And thus concludes my random thoughts from today. I would include work thoughts - but that might get me fired and I do not want that......or.....do I???? JUST KIDDING.

Here is a random picture of Liliana - this face JUST PLAIN CRACKS ME UP!

Laugh it up...

...at my expense.

I had a nickname once - Pepperann.

Apparently, I reminded some people of this said Pepperann.
