Maxim, Soap, and Fondue: Our Weekend.

I just finished adding new pictures from the weekend to Bailey's site.  It was actually a very casual and uneventful weekend, but we managed to make it interesting, of course.

A present came in the mail Saturday morning from David, Lisa, and Kevin.  It was for Bailey and she gladly ripped it open.  Also in Saturday's mail was our latest issue of Maxim Magazine.  We took a bunch of pictures of her opening her present, then when I looked at the photos later, I noticed the magazine was right there in the photos.  Honestly, yeah, we're perverts.  Beware.  And no, we don't read it for the articles.  Ha.

Anyhow, they got her the Leapfrog learning pad for babies, and in pink, which is just SUPER!  I never expected to like the color pink, but I now do.  I really, really do.  Daddy of course received the fortunate news that Mommy intends to buy tons of neat books and gizmos for this thing.  He says "thanks" you guys!

Later in the evening, after we went to Nebraska Furniture Mart (just browsing) and to Linens -n- Things (where we finally found a fondue set that we were okay with to replace the one that was on back order, then discontinued) we came home where Bailey decided to find a new resourceful way to reach the DVD collection.  In the time it took Daddy to enter the kitchen for a drink, Bailey pushed her Elmo chair up and used it like a step stool.  Daddy called out to a Mommy in the computer room with, "come see what YOUR daughter is doing."  Then I, naturally, grabbed the camera.  It's really hard for me not to want to get a picture of these crazy stunts.

This morning, she stole her bar of soap she's been infatuated with.  We don't actually use bars of soap (we use liquid, thanks), but I had this one that came with a bath set a couple years back, and she stole it out of the set and discarded its box and has been so intrigued by it.  I keep putting it up, but she got to it this morning and insisted upon holding on to it for a while.  I then caught her with one foot in her shopping cart and thought that was a cute Kodak moment.  Meanwhile, she was grating the soap like it was a block of cheese.  She's such an odd child.

 

So,we had fondue tonight, of the cheese and wine variety.  Yeah, I feel so posh....

 

She did well with that, using her fondue fork like she owned the pot.  She didn't eat much of it, but she really enjoyed playing with her fork and tasting the cheese.  (We had chicken and bread to dip.)  While we were working on the fondue though, she was given a whole bread stick, which was found mostly in pieces on the living room carpet.  It seems like she must have actually eaten some of it though.

 

And that basically sums up our weekend, doting fans.
