- yup....yesterday jayla was here all afternoon....and only slept an hour of
- it...and was great....she got toys too....she's 11 months now, and toddling
- about, and also crawling part of the time....her favorite things were NOT
- the toys, or even opening the presents.....but eating the paper and the
- boxes that they came in....
-
- she did sit on my lap at table and say 'nana', which does NOT mean grandma
- or anything like that....it means 'give me some more goddam bananas out of
- your jello salad and do it NOW, please, thankyou verymuch....'
-
- so i fed her bananas and some 'idaho bananas' (also known as mashed potatoes)
- she ate the idahobananas too, but did NOT think they were as good....may have
- been because i put salsa on my baked potatoes instead of milk or butter... 8-)
