Silly mama!

This is a beloved Russian cartoon character, Cheburashka. We seriously have 4 of them in our house. And Miss Sasha loves him! Although I'm fairly certain she has no idea what is going on in this picture. Or what the onesie says. Hehe.


Oh, and this is her real father ;)

Apples tonight

Sasha tried apples for the first time tonight. And I have to say, of all the stuff she's eaten so far, apples have to be her favorite. She was really so into it and kept opening her mouth for more, it was really cute. Just look at her go!



She was really excited, she even helped me:

LOL

This is my uncle, ladies and gentlemen (yes, I'm actually related to this guy):


His birthday is today and he turned 50. He's holding up his laptop with Miss Sasha's picture with the "I'm 5 months old today" sign and his sign says "I'm 600 months old today 2-23-09"

This is clearly so comfortable...

I mean, clearly! After an hour of fighting her nap (and screaming bloody murder), Miss Sasha fell asleep like this. We giggled and let her nap.

Introducing carrots!

Miss Sasha had carrots for the very first time tonight. I have to say she definitely liked them better than avocado, but I'll give her some time to really get used to them. Here are some pictures too:

Bangs or no bangs?

I'm going to get a haircut on Saturday and I need your input. I've been thinking of getting some bangs (mostly to cover up the silly little new hairs sticking out that look ridiculous... when is this postpartum hair loss going to end??). But I can't seem to make up my mind. Help! What do you think?
<----Little poll on the left. Thanks :)

And she rolled back!

Last night, Miss Sasha rolled from her tummy to her back! Yippee! Now I'm on the lookout waiting to catch it on camera. So many exciting things in just a month: she started rolling, eating first veggies, started *trying* to figure out her sippy cup, oh, and I think it may be time to give up her bouncy chair: she pulls herself up to an almost sitting position, so I worry that she'll just plunge face-first one of these days. Oh, and this is what I walked in on her doing yesterday morning:



Uh-oh, time to lower the mattress!


The bouncy chair is now simply a chair.

Sasha's special Valentine's day dinner

Last night Miss Sasha tried avocados for the first time. There definitely wasn't as much excitement as for cereal, but she didn't seem to mind and ate all that I made for her. It was fun trying the very first vegetable and it was not as sticky and messy as cereal (which I definitely appreciated). She seemed a little confused by the color, but once she figured out that it was edible (and yummy), she finished it all!









Next, we'll try some carrots or sweet potatoes in a few days.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Today is Sasha's first Valentine's day! It's a little cheesy, but we are rather excited. We played around a little bit with miss Sasha, enjoy the pictures.

The blog got a facelift

I was looking through some of the blogs that I follow and they're all so cute and fancy, so I decided to get something different for bubblegum. Here is the new layout of the blog, hope you like it. I found a great website with lots of free backgrounds for blogs, so I have a feeling I'll be changing them often.
