Jeez, 90% of the people who see Fumiko for the first time always say the same thing: “You belong in movies”. Ahhhh! The only thing I’m willing to do with her is modeling, IE: catalogue modeling, etc. One of my mom’s friends is going to look into it for us. She has a friend whose granddaughter is in modeling. So we’ll see about that. I’m still not entirely sure about it and I know Kai doesn’t really like the idea. My mom keeps pressing me about it, so I’m at least going to look into it.

We’re at the shop right now. I’m updating the shop website, and posting the new hours. My mom finally decided to change her hours. I’ve been trying to get her to do so for like two years now. Anyways her new hours are from 11am-6pm Tuesday-Saturday and closed Sunday and Monday.

You know there must be a flux of weight loss stuff on tv right now or something we’ve had a burst of people coming in recently to see if we have anything like Lipovox. We don’t normally get many people who are really looking to lose weight. It’s mostly people with other health concerns.

I hate soap opera’s, really I do. . . It seemed like a fitting title.

I am so annoyed. I can’t find my Kodak camera. I need it so I can take video’s of Fumiko. Grr. I’ve looked everywhere, and I just can’t seem to find it. My old one that I gave my mom isn’t at the shop either. We both looked everywhere with no luck. Poop. I wanted to take a video of Fumiko for Helen. Maybe I’ll run across it soon.

I started taking some herbs for a yeast infection. It’s the first one I’ve ever had. It’s horrible. I can’t imagine getting these on a regular basis, how do you not go insane?! Urgh. I’m at a loss of what to write about. Things have been going okay: unpacking slowly, playing chocobo’s dungeon off and on, taking care of Fumi-kitty and Sascha, taking Kai to work - he works for the next 10 days straight, being at the shop as much as I can, and cooking foods. Fumiko is as enamored with the bunnykins as ever. She crawls over to his cage, stands up and talks to him/stares for around 30 minutes at a time. Sometimes he hops over and nuzzles her fingers with his nose, and she squeals in delight. It’s very cute.

Yesterday she put away a half a banana, and 3 Mum Mum’s at one time. I told Kai she had banana pie. She’s been eating good. She doesn’t nurse much during the day, but she nurses a lot at night.

I keep getting all these spam comments on WP for Phentermine no prescription needed, blah blah blah. Seriously there are 161 spam comments sitting in queue right now and I just deleted over 200 a few days ago. Give it a rest people!

Fumiko has been just amazing! Lately she’s been waking up every morning, happy. She wakes up smiling and giggling, and talking. She crawls over to Kai and slaps his face, and smiles, then she crawls over to me and climbs on me and looks into my face and talks and smiles. It’s so sweet and adorable and wonderful and I love her! She’s been doing an excellent job at crawling. She’s got it down so well. She’s been using everything she can get her hands on to pull herself up and try to walk. It’s incredibly cute because miss Fumi-chan, will pull herself up onto say the couch, and she’ll stand there holding on and start squealing, and doing this high pitched cute talking and say “Baa baa baaa ba!”. It’s so cuuute.

Kai hasn’t been getting off work until around 10pm, so we’ve been staying at the shop to wait for him. Last night was my moms weekly bible study class. John brought Martian Child to watch. It was a great movie by the way. But Fumiko kept pulling herself up to stand with her walker, then she’d stand there and talk and squeal, and be incredibly cute and proud of herself for standing. She does that when she’s proud of herself. She lets out high pitched squeals and “baa baa baa” or “boo boo boo”.

She’s also learned that if she wants MR. Fuzzypants to stick around and lay by her she has to pet him gently. How come a 6 month old can figure it out by my 6 year old can’t? Anyways, Kiyoshi has been laying by her on the floor and she just sits there and pets him as best she can and he lets her. It’s very cute! Also, last night she packed away about 200 fresh blueberries. She loved them! She loves fresh fruit, and fresh veggies. If I’m eating anything that is soft enough for her to eat in the way of fruit or veggies, she’s in my face trying to grab it. She’s been eating good. You can tell she’s starting to get bigger and gain weight finally. She has also been drinking out of a bottle occasionally. Which I’m incredibly glad for. With her already eating, and refusing to drink out of a bottle or a sippy cup I was concerned that were gonna have a problem with weaning her. But it looks like it won’t be an issue.

See I’m worried about nursing her when she gets teeth.. She already bites, hard, and a lot. It hurts horribly even without teeth. I keep telling her if she doesn’t stop biting, she’s not gonna be nursing when she gets her teefers. My nipples are not teething toys thank you. So I’m glad that she’ll use a bottle now. It eases my worry. It’s also nice because it allows someone else to feed her when need be.

And I have photos to resize and upload. Hopefully I’ll get to them tonight!

Yay Helen had her little baby girl and my gosh is she beautiful! Helen posted her birth story and some photo’s on baby bean’s website. She truly is beautiful and I’m so happy for and proud of Helen! I hope you and Dave continue to enjoy all the fun, and not so fun moments of parenthood. I know you’ll both be amazing!

I just deleted 96 spam comments from WordPress. Woo. So the Nad’s Melon hair remover cream stuff works well. It still burns like Nair though. But it does work! Kai barbecued some pork ribs for dinner. Ohmygosh they were so yummy. I took pictures, but I cannot upload them yet, as I removed the upload software from this laptop, and Kai hasn’t set up my computer yet. But sooon.

Fumiko my lovely little baby imp, has suddenly started crawling and sitting up all by herself, and quite well I might add. As of a couple of days ago she still needed help sitting up, and was still wobbly when crawling and would fall over. Not today, she was crawling all over, and sitting up by herself, pretty steady like too. She was also pulling herself into a standing position with Kiyoshi’s cage, her bouncy chair, and the couch. She would actually walk a few steps while holding on.

She’s still so tiny, it seems like she grew up a little over night. She’s also been feeding herself for the past few days. She’s been eating her biscuits, cereal puffs and steamed veggies all by herself.

Anyways. My mom is trying to get life insurance on Gerry, only it’s a little too late, so she’s trying to find no exam life insurance. Which isn’t going to well for her.
