More Fiona Funnies

Fiona's newest discovery this morning was how cool chewed up food looks in her mouth. We went out for breakfast to Charlie Brown's (a wonderful local Speedway establishment) and they have mirrors at the end of some of the booths. She thought it was really neat how her chewed food looked in her mouth. Luckily the fascination didn't last long.

Lately she's also been discovering how sounds are different when she puts her fingers in her ears. We were driving home from the restaurant and Fiona was in the back chattering away with her fingers in her ears. Really cute!

Bathroom Renovation

Here are pictures of our newly completed bathroom. I'm so glad it's finally done and proud of all the work I did.

Happy Birthday MeMaw!

This past weekend we went up to South Bend to see Jeff's parents and celebrate his mom's birthday. I found a card with cats singing happy birthday and I knew Fiona would love it as well. If you listen closely at the beginning of the video, she's meowing along with the cats. She was so serious about it, too!

Fiona Funnies

I don't have any new pictures downloaded to add to the site, but I do have some fun stories of Fiona. She's getting so big and doing so much now. I was talking to Jeff on the phone yesterday around lunchtime. Fiona came into the kitchen with her hand on her cheek saying, "whoa, whoa". It took me a minute to realize she wanted to talk to Jeff on the phone and was saying, "hello." She actually talked to him, too (well, Fiona speak, but she didn't stay silent like she normally does).

She loves to be outside, but can only handle it for a short while (1/2 hour at the most). She LOVES to feed the birds and will carry a cup of birdseed out to the yard and dump it for them. She also likes to play in it, but it keeps her occupied while I shovel (esp. as we got 8-12 inches this past week). She has her own shovel but doesn't really know how to use it yet. She also likes to go for rides on her sled.

Today she put her baby in its bed, covered the baby with a blanket and then turned to me with her finger on her lips (or up her nose, hard to tell) and said her version of Shhh! It was too cute! I didn't even know she knew what it meant.

Another recent activity has been "shopping." She'll take her baby stroller (or grocery cart, depending on her mood) over to the pantry and start putting cans, boxes, whatever she can get her hands on into the stroller and then cart it around the house.

She's lately become obsessed with eating soup, mostly for the carrots, I think. She's not happy when we tell her she can't have it for breakfast. Although, Jeff did give her spaghetti-o's for breakfast the other morning because that was the only thing she said she'd eat. And she did eat them! Crazy kid.

I'll try to get some pictures up soon. She's changed a lot in the last few months and is getting taller and more mature each day.
