One Proud Mommy

I have to say that I just made a delicious dinner! It was a Weight Watchers' recipe, Greek Salad with Oregano-Feta Dressing. I took it upon myself to dice up a couple of Tyson's Lemon & Herb marinated chicken breasts and added it to the salad...Mmmm! I would post the recipe, but it'll take up a lot of space, so if you're interested just comment on this post and I'll email it to you. We will definitely eat it again and again though! And it's healthy to boot!


I need to catch you all up on Hana's ever-expanding vocabulary. Some of her new words include: backpack, dirty, hot, eye, nose, ear, mouth, belly, bellybutton and ball (I'm sure I'm forgetting some). She knows her nose, mouth, hair, feet, toes, bellybutton,

(Here she is showing her Aunt Victoria her bellybutton)
belly and even knows that she has two ears and two eyes! I even taught her that when she pushes on a nose, it honks! LOL She makes the honking noise and everything! Now listen to this story of absolute brilliance: This morning when I got her out of her crib, the first thing she did was point to a stuffed animal (dog) and say "puppy!" and started panting like Guthrie. Later, she brought me her Mother Goose Nursery Rhyme book and turned to a page with a dog on it and, once again, said "puppy!" I just think it's awesome that she not only knows that Pagan, Guthrie and Rowdy are doggies and/or puppies, but she is now associating the words with pictures and stuffed animals! I don't sound proud at all, do I? ; )

Hana Grace is getting really fast.

And she hams it up more and more every day!


Pagan is also doing very well. Her little elbow is healing right along and her meds really seem to be working! She's so happy, look at her smiling!

***I must add that just now, as I was typing this entry, Joe taught Hana Grace where her cheeks and her chin are - and she is saying both words. BRILLIANT!!!

Did I just hear someone say it's Peanut Butter Jelly Time again???

(watch her snap her fingers!)
