What's Your Go-To Food?

Pixie isn't a super picky eater, thank goodness, but she sure has gotten pickier lately. I should be counting my blessings because her favorite foods are unusual for this age, I think!
Pixie doesn't like cheese (unless on pizza) or anything cheesy-creamy. No alfredo for this child! She eats everything with tomato sauce on it and recently wolfed down my artichoke heart-lemon-parmesan angel hair pasta. This morning she refused pancakes, which normally she loves.
So, my go to foods (that I KNOW she'll always eat) are:
Yogurt
Falafel (pictured below)
and Stir Fry with Tofu. She love, loves broccoli.

She's a weird child probably. So, what's your go-to food?!?

Pictures of the Last Month

Here are a few pictures I have been meaning to post. I finally got around to downloading the software for our new camera!

This picture was from the snowstorm we got the end of February. The SUV battery finally bit the dust the night before and was stuck inside. Lovely.

This was taken only a few days after the snowstorm! It got up to 80 degrees and it all melted. Hooray!

Pixie was in this swing forever! She loved it. Of course I wiped it all down with a baby wipe before I put her in it. :)

This last Saturday we went to our first garage sales of the season. Becca went with us and then we went to her house for lunch. She bought pizza and I made lo mein. mmmm...
Scott was wearing his favorite shirt and took some preventative measures.

We then left from Becca's and headed over to my parent's house. It was my Dad's 67th birthday!

Happy Birthday, Daddy!

This was Pixie's first taste of cake actually. I've held off on sweets a bit. Don't worry baby, your turn is coming up soon!

Pixie looked so Springy in her dress on Sunday. This is Pixie responding to my calls. She had to crawl weirdly in this dress and she kept doing it even after I changed her into shorts!

How pretty is she, really?

This is her crazy face. She is so excited because she's starting to stand without holding on.

And the proud parents.

A Fuzzi Bunz Giveaway!

As you all know, I have been mostly using cloth diapers for Pixie. I posted my review of bumGenius (just got two 3.0s to try!) and I just got some organic fitted diapers in the mail from Eco Baby to try at night time. I also have some Fluffies covers coming too and I'm going to attempt to make my own wool soakers and longies...if I ever get a hold of a sewing machine! I found a tutorial to make them out of wool sweaters, then went to Goodwill and found two sweaters for .50 each!
Okay, point is that I really want to try out different diapers and I have always wanted to try Fuzzi Bunz. There seems to be an equal following for them and the bumGenius brand. Also, Fuzzi has come out with a one-sized diaper like BG. That really makes me want to try them because I'd only have to buy one size!
So, go over to A Psych Mommy and enter! She also has some other great reviews to check out.

Giveaway at Piece of ME

So, if you are a mom and are travelling, you probably have wished there was a compact way to bring along an activity center for your baby. I know I have driven the SUV instead of the car just to fit the exersaucer in it! Wouldn't it be nice to have something small you can keep in your trunk?
Well, I want this! It's perfect!
Piece of Me is hosting a review and giveaway of the PopATot.
I SO want to win!

"Seven Things About Me That You Never Knew"

So, Rebecca tagged me with this a while ago as punishment for reading her blog post. Curse you aqua scum!!!!! I'm not sure what I'll come up with that you don't know...so humor me and forget that you already know it. Okay?

1. I can't stand it when old emails are left in my inbox. Seriously, I make a mental chore list to go through them and delete or archive them. It drives me nuts if they build up, I usually only keep one or two around if they are an important reminder for me to do something.

2. The smell of honeydew, especially rotting honeydew, makes me want to throw up. This started when I worked at a salad bar. I begged my boss not to make me cut the honeydew and she usually was pretty good about it. Although, I got so many "are you pregnant?" questions!

3. I would rather go to the dentist than the optometrist any day.

4. I feel like a total failure if I don't get to spend a good amount of time outside on a nice day.

5. I have a thing with eyebrows. I notice people and their eyebrows. It bugs me if they are too close together, but more if they are too far apart and too skinny. I always say that they appear as "little caterpillars adorning the corners of their eyes".

6. I always try to look decent. Even after having Pixie, I try to put make-up on every day or just look presentable. I feel completely crappy if I am looking like a schlep.

7. I have a hard time making decisions. I have gotten a bit better, but I found one thing that works great. I ask someone what I should do, they pick, if I don't like it...I say no and have my decision made!

A Picture Tag

So, I know I have yet to do a tag from Becca, but this one takes no brain effort! I totally need to update my blog again.
Selissa tagged me on this. The instructions are:
Go to your Documents/Pictures. Click on the 6th file. Click on your 6th picture. Post it and blog about it. Then tag six more people.
My picture isn't as funny as Sis'! This was when Pixie was around 4 months old and starting to sit up. Nova still wasn't used to the lack of attention and she was in serious need of a doggie pedicure.
I don't know that I have six people to tag! Sis took some.
Anyway, I tag....Becca, Rachel, Sam, and Megan.

Valentine's Day

So, Valentine's Day is almost over. Scott and I got to go to the movies!
I had a few things planned, I had been thinking of sweet or cute things to do for a few weeks now...then Scott goes and calls the orthodontist earlier this week and schedules to take all four of his wisdom teeth out yesterday morning. So, my food plans went out the window. I told him not to worry about getting me anything and we decided we'd have a Valentine's Day on a different day. We probably won't, but we'll do something special one day soon. I went ahead and gave him some other things anyway. This morning I gave him the new scent of Axe, Dark Temptations. It's like dark chocolate or something...yummy. I saw the ad on tv when I was at the gym (the only time I get to watch something other than our one channel!). I also gave him one of those nubby massagers. He always tries them on me in the store and asks if I like it (I don't) and then says how much he does. So, I wrote him a note saying "here's something to make you feel good, something to make you smell good, and me to make you look good!"
We decided to go to the $2 theater here and see Twilight. Neither of us have read the books yet and I think I wanted it that way. So I wouldn't be disappointed. I really wanted to see Marley and Me, but if it follows the whole book to the end, I would cry. I cried quite a bit at the end of that book! So anyway, I really liked Twilight...I think. It's one of those "huh" movies for me. I have to think about it. It was done very well though! I don't know if I'm getting to be more of a wuss or what, but it seemed really intense to me! I found myself slouched all the way down in my chair on a few occasions. It also seemed really sexually charged, without any sex at all!
Becca watched Pixie for us and then she let me borrow the first Twilight book.
Now I am at home, Scott's at work, Pixie's asleep. Last night Pixie had me up until 2am. I sure hope it's not a repeat! Some nights she'll wake up once or twice and go back to sleep on her own and sleep from 8-6:30, other nights...it's not so fun. I can't figure it out!
Oh, we got a new camera! It's a Canon Power Shot and I really like it already. I haven't figured out everything on it, but I'll be uploading pictures soon...and video for the grandparents!
Pixie finally got out of reverse last week and started crawling forward. She's really liking that and has been much more occupied during the day. Within a day or two she was cruising, but there isn't much to hold onto around here...today she pulled a chair onto herself...splat on her face. I don't like her getting hurt! She has a bruise on her cheek from face planting into the corner of the entertainment center when she tried to pull herself up on that too.
