C is for Cookie, That's Good Enough For Me!

Sorry, I've been listening to the Sesame Street Platinum CD that I bought for Abby. A lot. Is it wrong to admit that I like it better than she does at this point? No? Good.

Not too much exciting going on this week. We're taking Abby to get her six-month pictures done at Sears today. As much as I like Picture People, I just can't afford to go there every three months for the pictures we want to get done. Although I'm thinking of splurging for her first birthday and getting those pictures done there. In the meantime, Sears has some great deals that I couldn't pass up. I'll get out of there for about $60 with what would have cost me about $100 more at PP. I gotta go with the bargain. Hopefully the pictures will turn out cute enough. :)

I'm pretty sure the baby's in the middle of another growth spurt right now. It seems like she's a little bigger every day. It's crazy, I tell you! As far as food, we'll be trying our last level 1 flavor tomorrow morning: Prunes! Woohoo! So far, she's still liked everything but green beans. She even seemed to like the peas well enough. At least, she ate them without crying or trying to push the spoon away. They didn't seem to particularly thrill her, but at least she tolerated them. I did make a second attempt with the green beans, but got the same result. She just don't like 'em.

In other news, I got my hair chopped on Wednesday. It was getting ridiculously long and I was just sick of it. All I ever did with it was pull it back in a doubled-over ponytail at the nape of my neck so that the baby couldn't grab it. So, I went to Mastercuts at the mall during my lunch break. It ain't fancy, but at least it's not Haircuttery! Anyway, I had great timing (for once) because there was nobody there and the manager took me immediately. I was shampooed, cut, blown dry and back to work before the hour was up. Go me!

The hair is now a little above my shoulders with long layers. He cut so much off that he was able to bundle it up in a ponytail to donate to one of those charities that makes wigs for kids with cancer. So, I also did a good deed. Go me again. He must have asked me twenty times if I was sure I wanted it all cut off. I was like, "Just cut the damned hair already!" But it looks and feels much better now, so I'm happy. :)
