Vegetarian Shrimp

Yes, I am well aware of what an oxymoron is but baby Shrimp has turned me into a(n) (almost) vegetarian once again.  First Violet and now Shrimp.  Actually, Violet still happens to be a vegetarian.  If god forbid I sneak some chicken into her food, forget it, it's war!
I went back and re-read some of my posts when I was pregnant with Violet and it seems that my food cravings haven't changed much since then.  Here are my recent favorites:

-Soup (especially chowders)
-Shrimp and broccoli (The cheap and dirty Chinese food kind with brown unidentifiable sauce)
-Iced Tea (drink by the gallons)
-Parfait
-Anything chocolate
-Salads

Here is the old post.

Shrimp

Gene came with me to my first OB appointment with excitement and anticipation to see the baby and hear the heartbeat for the very first time.  I was 8 weeks along and as I laid on the table, the TV flickered on and there it was!  A tiny little flickering speck that didn't resemble a baby by any means.  The doctor smiles and says, "There's your little shrimp right there"!  And that is how baby number 2 got the nickname shrimp.

Expanding the Klayman Clan

Yes, you read it here first, our family is growing!  Gene and I are over the moon excited to make Violet a big sister!  I am due in July!

I will be posting multiple blog entries that I have written over the last several months.

Fucky the Friendly Turtle

So the fucky fucky mystery has been revealed.  As I mentioned in my previous blog post, Violet came home from day care screaming fucky, fucky and we couldn't even begin to imagine what that could mean.    A few days later I came to pick her up from day care and Miss Marcelle mentioned that they got a new pet turtle by the name of Frankie.  When she said his name, Violet immediately screamed: FUCKY!  I guess we'll have to work on those R's and N's.

Say What???

Violet came home from day care yesterday and said, "Fucky, Fucky".
Disturbing or Hilarious?
Well, Gene and I couldn't stop laughing, so there you have it.

Morning Chat

Violet isn't talking much but she has mastered all the key phrases and words.  She wakes up in the morning and the first thing she does is come to our bedroom, stand next to our bed and say, "Up".  Once she is nestled in between us she says, "Remote".  When one of us is holding the remote she says, "Mult", which means multiki (cartoons) and her final word until she is in a complete trance is: Dora.
She has also figured out that the appropriate response to, "Do you want soup for lunch?" is, "No, Ice Cream".

Who's the best?

Me: Violet who's the best?
Violet: Dora
Me: Who's next?
Violet: Elmo
Me: Who is in third place?
Violet: Mommy
Me: And next?
Violet: Papa
Me: Who is after papa?
Violet: Babi (Grandma)
Me: And then?
Violet: Pet'ka
Me: After Pet'ki?
Violet: Car

Glad that I am better than the car, but too bad Dora and Elmo are ahead of me.
