so the groundhog in pennsylvania saw his shadow, which means we have 6 more weeks of winter. i say bah hum bug. usually i am happy to have more winter & more snow. i guess i really don't care if we keep getting snow or not; i just want us to be healthy! this winter has been a long one already with constant illnesses...but right now, hold your breath, we are not sick! well, wes & i still have a bit of the lingering effects of the last cold, but it's workable. anyway, stupid groundhog.
we have figured out how to get adeline to take a nap during the day...wait until 2:30-3, then put her down for a nap. it makes for a long morning with her & by the early afternoon she's a bit of a defiant little bugger but when she wakes up she's the sweet adeline that we're used to. except for this morning at the mall playground; goodness she was a bit bratty to this little boy...i've noticed that she has more attitude with little boys than little girls. hhmm, i wonder where she got that from? :o) anyway, this little boy who was probably 2 or 18 months wanted to climb on the tiger, which was what she was playing on. so she looks at the boy & says very whiny & rudely "mine! mine!" & gives him a nasty look. poor little boy looked so sad! of course, his mom was RIGHT beside him & looked a bit miffed, yet humored. i told adeline that she was being mean & naughty & she needed to apologize to the kid before he hates girls forever...then adeline gave me the nasty mean look! ooohhh. boiling blood in this mama, for sure. so i said 'either you apologize or sit in time out'...little miss defiant nodded her head that she would sit in time out, then plopped herself up on the seat! she would rather sit in time out than apologize! after her time out i again told her that it was naughty & mean & she didn't even seem to care a lick.
where did this little attitude come from? as a kid i was feisty, but i wasn't mean like that...at least i don't remember being like that (well, maybe to my siblings... ;o). i know kids are just kids & sharing her favorite toy (even if it is public property!) is difficult...i'm just a little shocked sometimes by her attitude. other times, she is the sweetest & kindest girl around. maybe i'll say it came from the gerbick side! hahaha!!! (totally kidding...wes & cliff, wes' brother, are really the nicest guys).
also something to note: amelia is eating solids like crazy. she just can't get enough. we are feeding her solids twice a day & each time she could gobble down an entire jar of baby food & then at least 1/4 or 1/3 cup of rice cereal. it's amazing! then still take a bottle...if you saw her thighs, you'd know where it all went! this is a bit shocking to us, as adeline refused to let any solids into her mouth (without a big fight at least) until she was well over 6 months...so a little 5 month old who eats this much just amazes me. i guess we better get the food processor out to make some pureed veggies & fruit or else we'll be broke from buying both baby food & formula.

I was actually thinking about groundhog stew yesterday or some such proper thing to do with groundhogs.....
I think that darn groundhog needs to get on some antidepressant. Every year, same old thing. Maybe I will call Cal.
