Kylie May and an Apple Sauce Day 252

I filled out my absentee (father) ballot today. Not for the election, I heard that was over, but for some more time with Kylie.  It has been a bit of a wild work week and I haven't gotten to see Nat or Mayday much lately.  When it isn't very much time you have to make the most if it.  Today, between work and sleep, I saw the tiny tot for about 30 minutes.  If it is only going to be thirty minutes at least it was a good thirty minutes.  I walked into the middle of breakfast time this morning, which was a good time in progress.

I got to watch little miss muffett chomp away on her curds and whey (or cottage cheese). It takes her a long time, but she feels so big working to motor through her cottage cheese.  It seems crazy that she is already eating real life big people food (not the pureed kind).  We can literally sit down for breakfast with an avocado, banana, and cottage cheese and she'll eat right along with us.  I feel like I'm in a time warp and the last 8 months completely passed me by.  I know what anyone who has kids is saying next.  "You think that was fast? Wait till you see the next 20 years."  My only response is I'm barely 20 years old, I can't imagine another 20 years passing. :-) 

My other moment with our precious little girl was right when I woke up this afternoon (don't judge me for waking up past noon, I worked all night).  She got the biggest two tooth grin, came and sat on the bed next to me and just played and played.  At one point she grabbed her book, rolled over onto her back, and nestle right up against my shoulder to read.  It's things like that that turn a work filled Thursday into a fond memory.  Thanks for the cuddles Kylie May.

Those were my Polaroid moments of the day. Nat handled super mom duties the rest of the day.  Her and Kylie went to story time at the library (sounds like Kylie loves all the songs and reading), walked (well one of them walked) to the bank, went to play at Mimi and Papas, and took a nap.   The other fun thing Nat got to do was give our little munchkin apple sauce. She has tried apple, but never the sauce.  lets just say it looks like we have ourselves another check mark in the "she likes it" column.  We are glad we have such a little foodie on our hands, but Is it too early to start saying "She's eating us out of house and home."? Maybe just a little too early.  I guess we'll keep that one wadded up in our pocket for just the right occasion.

Another day in the books, can't wait to see what happens tomorrow.

more to come soon,
