Ahhh I'm 31 now. The actual day itself stunk, but before and after were wonderful. I'm really quite spoiled. I treated myself to a hair appointment where I committed to pink hair. I've wanted to do that since Gwen Stefani circa 1999. I couldn't do it when I was in school or when I was working, and since I'm hopefully returning to work in a year or two now was the time! It was a little too bright initially but I'm loving the toned down color now.
We celebrated as a family on the 3rd and 4th by taking a family trip to Chattanooga. We had so much fun swimming, learning about penguins, and playing with spiderwebs at the Children's Museum. We ate so much good food and ran through the rain. I had a blast. It was such a good way to start another year. Then I got to come home to a seriously delicious dinner with my sweet friends, a pizza from my bestie, and had a super relaxing spa day at Carmen's Day Spa down the road. My in-laws and Josh treated me to studio lights too! I'm so excited to not have to rely on inconsistent sunshine for my studio sessions. Sure there was the occasional bump in the road, or on the head (I likely got my second concussion as a mom), but I am blessed to have people who care about me.
Week 42:
I beat on my chest like Tarzan and I have a happy, mad, anything really scream that makes Eli laugh and laugh. I cough to get your attention and bear walk around the house. I click my tongue and roll balls to chase them. I went to the church nursery for the first time and didn't cry at all (even though mom may have teared up a little). I use my walker like a big boy.
Week 43:
Mom and dad took me on my first trip to Chattanooga. I was unimpressed with the aquarium but I was a big fan of the Children's Museum. Mom and dad bought me an inchworm toy I adored at the museum and brother and I play with it constantly. I'm teething again and I will cruise on over to mom and bite her leg. My fifth tooth came in! I try to share my binky with dad but he keeps denying me. I kiss myself in the mirror and I fake sneeze to make mom laugh.
Eli:
I say "yahoo!" like Maui in Moana and I like to fix things with my fish hook. I tell mom, "I want to be a farmer, what do you want to be?" and tell her, "When you were a little boy..." I try to do whatever brother does and am good at comforting him. I pointed to the left arrow in the bathtub and told mom "Lefty loosey mama!" I make up interesting exercises and I like to play delivery with my dump truck. When we were looking at the penguins I told mom, "hey he has a hair tie on him!" I pretend to see babies in clouds like the characters in UP. I like to give thumbs up and am interested in what everything says. I pretend to "read" constantly.
