Like mother, like daughter?

Oh no, this cannot be good at all. Mom made a comment to me on the phone on how C is becoming more and more like me every single day. So I sat down and made a lists of things that we have in common…

1. Strong willed – That child, if she wants something she will go for it. Don’t let anything stop her either. I guess that kind of sounds like me?
2. Independent - Trust me, she’s like Miss Independent. She won’t even let me help her walk, she looks at me with this look and just says “NO!”. So I guess I’m a little independent too.
3. Helpful – She loves to help, not that she can much. But she does what she can. I think A was in the high chair one day for some reason and she had dropped something to C went to get it for her, she couldn’t exactly give it to her.. but she tried. Okay, so I help people for a living…
4. Smiley – The kid always smiles, even when she cries. I suppose I’m a pretty happy person.

And that’s where I stopped. Maybe me and C are a lot alike? It’s cute. Maybe when she grows up we can all be best friends and we’ll go shopping and get a montage done, just like in the movies. Or she’ll rebel like I did and we’ll have a horrible relationship for a few years, but she’ll get over it and we’ll be best friends again. Or I could get a time stopping machine and just never let her grow up, because she’s too grown up already. My baby girl is going to be 10 months in 2 days! A is going to be 2 and a half in 2 days too. Ugh, stop growing babies.

“You are what you eat.”

If that expression prove to be true, I’m probably going to become a pizza in the next few days. I really wonder how that would work out. Will my hair become crust? Maybe my eyes will turn to pepperonis? Hmm. Two large pizzas in two days? Good job, Emilie, you well on your way to be 600 pounds!

C is becoming more and more independent every day. She’s so determined to walk and she loves standing. Yesterday, she stood up on her own while holding onto the couch. When I went to grab her hand to get her to walk a bit. She looked at me and say ‘no’! Silly girl! She also likes to take a book and look at the pictures by herself. She’ll just sit there with the book and point at something then laugh. She’s growing up so fast..

Baby registries. Ugh, picking stuff for baby #2 is WAY harder then baby #1. The first baby is pretty easy. You need everything. The second baby is so much harder, especially if someone is INSISTING on throwing you a baby shower. I mean, I like baby showers and all, but not mine. I’ve realized I barely need anything with this baby, except big items… I need a crib (the whole set, obviously), a few onesies (because all I have are yellow ones), cloth diapers (because I don’t have any newborn ones), a car seat (since C is still using hers), maybe an infant carrier (I never had one with C and I did fine without it… but apparently it’s really convenient), some stuff for BFing, diaper bag and that’s it, I think…
