Greta is definitely part Monforton:

I'm feeding Greta half a baby nutrigrain bar and some pears when she fusses a bit, stares me dead in the eyes, FARTS, then starts giggling. Yep, there is some Mofo in her.

Thankfully, she does not seem to have any flu symptoms so far.........

I am bad blogger. I'm also in the throws of a bad stomach flu. Pictures of Greta from this weekend when I start feeling better. Here's a hint: They involved several pictures of a cow giving birth. Quite the teaser.

This about sums up Greta's personality these days.....a total ham for anyone that will indulge her. Joan, Greta's Grammy, captured this yesterday. We were lucky to have Joan visit us for two whole days. Greta received LOTS of hugs and kisses. She is also improving her waving and clapping skills.

Greta went for her first late winter/early spring hike with her Dadda yesterday. We found a great deal on a baby backpack at a resale store, and she loved it. Before any hike, one must make all the clothing preparations......Fleece hat (check), fleece jacket (check), Sacagewea moccasins (check, check).

Greta had her two besties over (Oliver and Jospehine), for a nice dinner of puffs and cheese in preparation for today's Red Wings game. Josie and Ollie were super pumped to stand alongside Greta in her laboratory. Greta did not seem to be jealous of their standing/crawling skills.

Clearly, Greta is too occupied with her puffs, pumpkin/apple puree, and staring at her dad.
(Side note: How cute is Josie's little heiny? Such a cute tooshie!)
Oh, don't think Greta and Josie forgot to discuss their hair secrets. Josie knows going to bed with a wet head is a great way to create volume. Greta was sure to chime in that her locks stay healthy with constant caressing, especially during bottle time.

Clearly, Greta has been greatly affected by the recent passing of Whitney Houston. I often see her "singing her praises" to the lost star, and I suppose I need to "comfort" her more during these moments. One way I know Greta is reeling, when she is clearly expressing her remorse and sadness, showing lots of "Mariah Hand," which Whitney was also known for (and the sweating). A comparative analyses:

What do you think? Oh, did I mention that Greta prefers Adele over both Mariah and Whitney? Greta does have taste, THOUGH I will surely have to introduce her to the REAL Mariah (gospel choir, frolicking through a field with pigtails followed by hot male dancers, romping through snow in a lame red snow suit).

Happy Friday!

(Needless to say, we will NOT be watching/following/tweeting the Whitney funeral. I'm sure I have a closet to clean.)

Showcasing their turntable talents.

Greta summoning Oliver with a toy...."Come on over here. I have a little something to show you...."

Oliver NOT falling for Greta's trap. He left single, only to return to his man cave.


Greta had a playdate at our house with her friend, Oliver. We love Oliver because he too likes the finer things.....bouncing, Fisher Price Little People, puffs, and speaking gibberish.

GUESS WHO FINALLY HAS A TOOTH COMING THROUGH??!?!??!? YEP, MS. GRETA! (Lower bottom right side.)
