I'm a horrible blogger. :)

I'm not sure why I committed to this 365 day blog, I clearly suck at it. :) I am trying my best to at least blog once a week...which is really sad. I take TONS of pictures. I pretty much take at least one picture of my daughter a day, I don't know why I don't just post it, and write a little something about my day.

Anyway, it seems like Rayanne getting closer and closer every day to getting into a crawling position. Today we were sitting on the couch...Ok...I was sitting on the couch acting like a barricade trying to help her get to crawling, and moving around where it's not so hard on her knees, and the softness making it a bit easier to get used to it. :) I got a great picture of her today reaching for a toy up on one knee, and turning her body from a sitting position. You really would have to see it, but of course, I downloaded the pictures onto my computer BEFORE she did that, so I will try to post that picture tomorrow. :)

The picture I want to post of Rayanne is one that was taken while we were at her cousins place last Wednesday. My friend and I were trying to take pictures of the three of our kids together (she has two little boys) and let me tell you, it is very difficult to coordinate a 4 1/2 year old, a 1 1/2 year old and an 8 month old all at the same time. LOL! Well the picture that I took of Rayanne before we started those pictures, and I just love the look on her face. :) It is so priceless.

I also wanted to post a picture that I took of her hands. Strange perhaps. :) She no longer likes me to feed her some things...(and some times I can barely get the spoon to her mouth. lol.) So she decided she wanted her independence eating banana's. :) She got to be such a mess. LOL!! those are slippery little suckers. LOL!

Anyway, that's it for me. I will try to post on Thursday with a 9 month picture. :)

In like a Lion....

Well this is one year that I hope that that is true this year. With me having to return to work in about 4 months (I really don't even want to think about it) the sooner spring comes, the sooner we can go for walks, go to the park, go to the zoo, and considering the temperature this evening is - 36 degrees Celsius, with the wind chill, I'd say that's in like a lion. There are so many things that I look forward to doing with my baby this year. :) Just going out to the back yard to play on the grass instead of having to stay inside the house. I really want spring to be here early. I'm done with winter now, it can go away now. If the truth be told...I am honestly done with winter about the day after Ukrainian Christmas is done. And that was way back the beginning of January.

Rayanne seems to change just a little bit each day. She is getting so good at eating solids, and the last couple of days, she has seriously been babbling up a storm. It is great to hear her talking...now if I could just figure out what she is saying when she is playing with her little stuffed bug and sock monkey. :) I will try to take a picture of her with her sock monkey tomorrow. She got it from Grandma and Grandpa when we were in Florida.

The picture that I have of Rayanne today, was actually an idea that I stole from a friend. It is the 1st of March, and so a friend of mine put her son in shamrock pj's. Well I didn't get Rayanne any shamrock pj's, but since she is part Irish (Irish, Scottish, Ukrainian and Metis, now how's that for a combo) I bought her this shirt when we were at Carters in the states.

I probably won't put it on her again till St. Paddy's day...but I just wanted to share...she won't get a pinch for not wearing green. :)
