Attack of the Killer Frogs

So this whole wild life thing is new to me. I thought Indiana had lots of bugs, but really, FL has scary frogs. They come out at night and adhere to your home and front door. I have had one jump on my hand, but my experience this morning was the most horrific. Of course this is all happening in the dark and this morning I was hung over and exhausted on top of that. Ok. my daughter wakes up, dogs wake up...most "walk" dogs because we have no fence, so I choose to do this without my daughter this morning as she isn't crying too hard and it was obvious Molly had to go. I open the door, the frog jumps from above me onto my head and in the house. I scream (not the high pitched scream, but a low "ahhh" It is what come naturally when I am scared shitless.) I then stand there with my dog very excited large dogs and watch the frog in the house. Is is poisonous? I don't know. Dogs pee, I bring them in and immediately shove them on our bedroom with my sleeping husband. I shut the door. I get Rowan. She is crying, I need to feed her. So I sit down in the living room. I can hear the frog jumping all over the dining room. I then see it scaling the walls. This is too much for me. My daughter finishes, I wake up my husband. I need help. I can't have her crawling around with a frog jumping all over the place....

So he gets up (way early for him) and manages to get the frog outside. My hero...by the way, he also does bats....

Wow-day three

This will slow down when I get a job, or a friend. Today was a good day over all. We did more organizing in the bedroom. Exciting. Still no show from baby girls monitor. We took a bath together...she went completely under when I was washing my face. oops. She swallowed a bunch of water-yes drowning can happen in a matter of seconds, but luckily, I was there and she was fine. My bad-totally on my watch. Dad can blame me for that repressed memory she will have.

Day two

Florida is hot. Rowan is hot and teething. Not a fun combination.

The produce here is great. We get great peaches, cherries (weird), bananas (Rowan actually likes these), etc. Tomorrow we will try "florida avocados," with our taco lasagna. Rowan loves avocados. Me too.

Today we go into Marc's work. I look forward to seeing where the magic will happen.

For my daughter

I decided to make this blog for my baby girl.  Perhaps it will live forever for her to read at a later date, or not.  I will think of it as a diary of sorts, written for her.  My myspace blog is my diary about my pregnancy, but since I no longer really use that, I figured I would start a blog about life with my daughter today. I am not sure how often I will write. This may be the only one....I am not good at following through.

We made it to Florida from Indiana. My daughter now officially hates the car. She screams when the car is in eye sight now. Some may think it is endearing or even cute. No it is not. We love you, baby girl, but you do have a set of lungs. Since day one. That is a good thing since her monitor base is lost in the move. I still have high hopes of finding it, but I am probably being foolish.

Things we have learned during this move process:

1) Baby girl is better when mommy isn't around. She plays quietly, she enjoys exploring, she laughs and giggles. When mommy is around, she climbs my leg and screams until I pick her up. I cannot just join her on the floor, no I must pick her up. Daddy then gets angry when Mommy picks her up. I can't win.

2) Baby girl hates cars now.

3) The only word she says, that we recognize as a word and that she knows the meaning to, is "dog." She usually says this with a pointed finger. This is cute.

4) She loves loud music and even is she is cranky, she will turn on her groove thing.

Well Baby Girl is now awake. I must go get her to ensure that she doesn't get out of the crib cranky.
