I love a good eggplant.

Look at this eggplant I found sitting in the middle of our living room, rummaging through my diaper bag! Little Miss Eggplant sure has fat and cute cheeks!

I am now determined to get out of this sleeping funk I've been in. Ever since the holidays started it's been hard for me to physically wake up unless I've slept until, say, 11am. It's ok, I guess if you're a college student -- but I am a MOM! I need to get it together! Need to get BB IN bed earlier and me OUT of it earlier.

We had a nice dinner last night at Cheesecake Factory with our old roommate and his girlfriend last night. It's definitely more difficult to take BB out to eat these days. When she was smaller, she just sat there and either slept or didn't do much. But now that she's so active, alert, and interested in everything, she can't sit still. It's true that, whenever we go out to dinner, she's always facing a different direction. She never looks at us! I literally have to turn the highchair outwards so she doesn't contort her legs as she turns.

I have a couple things I want to get done today: brainstorm a theme for BB's birthday party, and hang up a painting and a bunch of framed pictures we recently accumulated. I must wait for Dave to get home from the dentist to do the latter, so I think I'll go make BB's apple oatmeal now. Toodles for now!
