10 months




This little doll is 10 months old today! 

She's standing on her own until she starts to wiggle. 
Trying to walk.
Saying mama and mom.
She's eating anything we are but still prefers nursing.
She's is not sleeping through the night, but since we've been in Toronto, three of her top teeth are coming through so I blame it on that. 
She's as happy and smiley as ever. 
Loves to watch older kids play and doesn't care for babies.
She loves to dance, play "where's daddy?" And space shuttle. 
She loves to sit in your lap while you read a book and she touches and turns the pages. 

Just a quick update. Toronto is wonderful and I don't ever want to go home.

Daddies


Happy Father's Day to these two gents. I love you Pa. Thank you for being the sweetest daddy to us. It's wild to see it from the other side now as I watch Mark love on his baby girl. It makes me that much more thankful for good daddies and good husbands. 




Happy Father's Day to my one true love. Dagny is a lucky girl and you are the most handsome daddy of them all. I know I won the prize but Dagny did too.

Mark came home...



What a happy weekend it was at the Bloom house. Mark flew in late Thursday night. I woke Dagny up to put in the car, and then again to carry her into the airport. Her face was unimpressed, sleepy and stone cold as I walked through the airport. I would say "Dagny, we're going to see your daddy" and she'd turn, look at me and then look forward. When Mark came, he immediately took her into his arms and she just looked at him and looked at me and then again at him. She didn't cry, and knew exactly who he was, she just didn't know what to think about him being there in person instead of FaceTime. I don't know the word to describe her face where she tucks her lower lip under her upper lip and her cheeks puffed out with a little smirk, but thats the face she kept the entire time.

My upcoming trip to Toronto has been planned for a long time, but this quick trip was a surprise! When we go to Toronto, Mark has three games in one week. He will be very busy and there probably won't be any lazy mornings. While he was here we stayed in bed till 11. We made breakfast at 12. We went to the beach in the late afternoon and drank Blue Paw. Mark had Dagny all to himself the two days I worked. He sat in her room and watched her play like I do every morning. It was truly the best. Its never easy to say goodbye, but this time was easier than most because Dags and I fly out tomorrow!

Dagny's little light of her's








Dagny is touching everything with her little pointer finger. She touches my eye lashes, my nose, my teeth. She touches pictures in books, spots on rugs. She has to touch any food with that little finger before she decides if she can eat it. Its her little light of hers, and I love it. 




A birdie with a yellow bill
Hopped upon the window sill. 
Cocked his shining eye and said:
"Ain't you 'shamed, you sleepyhead!"

5 Things

5 things that made my week:



This rattle...


Mary Kate bought one for Remington while we were shopping. During lunch Dagny stole it and wouldn't put it down so I went and got her one too. She loves it, its pretty and quiet.




Her decided face...


As much as I love Dagny's stink or scrunch face with a little wrinkled nose, I love this one more. I wonder what she's thinking...




My hanging baskets of petunias...


This year I went with petunias and I absolutely love the bright pink I get to see every day. It is very hot for the month of June. I'm not quite sure my flowers will make it this summer if the temperatures and humidity continue this way, but we will try. My weekends to the beach house leave them dreary and thirsty. I also am not the best at remembering to deadhead them. 




These pooooor books.


and teething Dagny. If she is quiet for 5 minutes I know another book is doomed. 




This quilt...


Because I purchased it months ago and then forgot. When it showed up on my doorstep this week, it was like getting a surprise! A beautiful and feminine surprise for Dagny.




This face...


Because truly it is the second best thing to Mark's.
