Cheerios, Bald Doll Babies, and Baby Jails...

This kid seriously loves her Cheerios.... they've even replaced her beloved Banana Puffs :) She still likes the Puffs, but she loves her Cheerios. Putting her in her high chair and giving her a handful of Cheerios and a Sippy Cup buys me enough time to actually eat lunch anymore! Plus she just looked so happy, and she rarely looks that way these days with Teething and Separation Anxiety... I had to share! I miss my happy baby!
While we were on vacation, our friend Jenni knitted this super cool doll baby with a rainbow colored dress to give to Kat. Well unfortunately upon giving the doll to Kat, the poor doll's hair started falling out in clumps. We removed the hair and gave the doll back, now she's totally attached to it. There are tons of toys and stuffed animals in the house, but she just drags her poor bald doll baby around the house by it's one strand of remaining hair. It's the cutest thing ever!!




And we bought a Baby Jail... okay it's actually a SuperYard, but we separated it and are using sections to rope off problem areas- for instance we're constantly chasing Kat out of the Kitchen and off the stairs, so now- we have a contained area that's relatively safe for Kat and will help preserve some of my sanity at having to be on top of her at all times to keep her from opening the stove or climbing the stairs! She actually likes it, so far... but I'm not too optomistic, the minute the novelty wears off she's going to be mad. At least for now it's working out! We attached hanging toys from the sides, and she thinks that's fun. She also likes that she can use the little holes as grips and pull herself up to standing. The bonus to this is-- we can reattach all the pieces and make a circular play area outside or at someone else's house (it folds up to a really portable size, has a handle, and is pretty light) We'll likely also be using it to fence off our Tree this Christmas. Best 50 dollars we ever spent!
