mommy thighs.

i lovingly refer to c as having "mommy thighs." the girl has a little chub on her. if she's made like me (and i'm made like my mom), then her thighs might be a problem area one day! oh, the things we deal with.

we ate lunch outside today since it was SO nice - thank you, Jesus! c does great sitting up now, but i thought i'd put her in her bumbo just to keep her in one place while she ate. i grabbed a blanket, the bumbo and her and headed outside while matt took care of the food. i went to put her in the bumbo and guess what...her chubbo legs wouldn't fit!

i cracked up, but left her in it since she didn't seem to mind.

love the drool.

 ah. we just love her.

she finally made up (i think) with her uncle bobby and uncle artie today. it's been a rough road with lots of tears. i left her with matt this evening and the boys while i went to the store and to vote. matt said she did great. of course though, when i walked through the door she wanted her momma - the bottom lip pushed out and the tears started flowing. 

i sometimes struggle with how to respond when that happens. one part of me wants to rush to her, hold her close and tell her "mommy's here, everything is ok," but the other part of me knows she's just being a little clingy/dramatic and needs to know that people other than mommy and daddy are ok (that is as long as we say they are!). 

uncle rob, we need to work with you next. want me to bring her on over? ah, what's 1 more? :o) g, you may need to help since you were the same way with your uncle matt! i love you all!
