Carrots and Prunes and Applesause, oh my! Potty time, and falls and *ah hem*, no laughing, oh my!

It's official. Jake likes food. He ate carrots first (see previous floppy ear blog!) and he's since tried prunes and applesause. He loves it all. Of course, his bottle is still a staple but this is a fun extra!

His smile is just as big too... only two teeth so far so it's a big gummy grin and he uses it often.

Katie eats well too mostly. If I can keep her attention on her food and she doesn't get distracted by something! She's potty trained to go in the toilet (which makes me VERY happy not to have the little potty chair in the bathroom) and last night she kind of had a little accident... She was standing on her stool and about to sit when I realized she was just a few inches too far over! She sat before I could stop her and she fell face first toward the bathroom floor. Luckily she caught herself and it wasn't a free fall but still, not too fun. I got her up and she was willing to try to go even after that. I didn't laugh then but as I typed this... I gave a little tiny, the tiniest of chuckles. Okay... so I actually giggled out loud. I couldn't help it... it was kind of funny!

Katie said *sigh* that I hurt her feelings *sigh*

I was minding my own business the other night when Katie came to me and said "mama, you hurt my feelings" *sighhh* "You hurt my feelings real bad" *sighh* I just looked at her and tried not to laugh because she was really adding a huge sigh after every sentence! She did that for awhile and I asked her how I hurt her feelings and she said "mama, you talk to me too much. You hurt my feelings" *sighh* "I so upset, you hurt my feelings" *sigh*

I told her that I wanted to remember that I hurt her feelings so I was going to get the camera. Got back and caught another performance! She was so funny. She started to smile toward the end... she must have known that she was putting on a show.

I'm trying to explain "acting" to her. We watch House on TV sometimes and she usually wants to know what the doctors are doing and "why that person there?" so I've been telling her that they are actors and not really doctors and the people aren't really sick but I don't know if she gets it.

Speaking of House, I love that show. I never liked ER, I would rush to change the channel when it came on after The Office because I didn't even want to hear the theme song or see any of the characters. Now I'll catch reruns of House and happily watch 2 episodes - that's what usually airs each night. Katie will watch too which means I've got to be careful about how much "hospital" stuff she really sees... that show can be a little TMI if you know what I mean!

On a side note, I happened to catch a bit of the Billy Ray Cyrus show "Doc" and I realized that if I ever got sick and the only people around to help were the cast of Doc and the cast of House, I would choose the cast of House. Watch and compare and let me know if you agree!
