Mommy's little Princess

Aelita is starting to calm down a little bit at least at church on sundays, until she sees another little kid that she wants to go play with. Today at general conference she was all over the place but mainly because she got bored after the first talk. I just hope she calms down more when the new baby comes.

Inspirational Thought

"Needed are...[souls] filled with compassion, that we might communicate not only eye to eye, or voice to ear, but in the majestic style of the Savior, even heart to heart."
--President Thomas S. Monson; Ensign, November 1994, page 70.

New Baby

How do you tell a 16 month old that she's going to have a little brother or sister? Its kinda hard to tell Aelita that she's going to be a big sister. She's starting to get really clingy lately and gets jealous anytime i even hold another baby.

Temper Tantrums

Aelita has been having such a temper lately. She constintly want's to be held all day and I just can't do it anymore. She's getting to heavy for me to hold especially when she still throws her tantrums while i'm holding her. I just wish she could understand why i can't hold her so much anymore.

My Poor Girl

Aelita is so accident prone lately, just this week she has busted her mouth twice hitting the table and fireplace trying to get to a toy. she's slammed her fingers in the dryer and kitchen drawers and cabinets and she hit her head playing at the park going under one of the little bridges. I feel so sorry for her getting hurt all the time but she really doesn't listen when you tell her not to do something.

Shopping with Ali

Shopping with Aelita is quite a fun task. Lately she's decided that it's okay to open and eat whatever it is that we're buying. Today she ate 1/4 a container of Mushrooms. I'm thinking i'm going to need to go grocery shopping with out her from now on or put her and the food in two different carts.

Mommy's little helper

Aelita is becoming quite the little helper around the house lately. We've actually got her doing little chores around the house like making her bed, picking up her toys and dirty clothes and putting them were they go and picking up her trash. Every time she helps mommy do those things she gets a sticker and at the end of the week she gets a dollar. Sometimes she'll even try to help put clothes in the washer and dryer. She's growing up so fast it is nice to have help picking up her dirty laundry and toys though.
here's a picture of her trying to help put dishes in the dish washer.
