nissa vs mashed potatoes

why is it that it never fails. . . every time nissa eats mashed potatoes, she makes her "oh no" face- which happens to include putting both hands on top of her head. hands, full of mashed potatoes, pushed up against her hair. what a mess. sure, she does this move other times, but EVERY time she eats mashed potatoes, the hands go on the head. i need to start limiting potatoes to bath days, i guess.

we visited rick yesterday to exchange christmas gifts with (uncle) eric and his family. it was a good time and nissa is starting to interact with others more. unfortunately, this visit's interactions consisted primarily of taking toys away from the others. . . made worse by her being totally over due for a nap. her and sarah checked each other out more, which was fun. the funniest thing was when nissa was climbing around and uncle rick picked her up. i noticed she was missing a shoe and glanced around the room for it. when i asked aloud, we discovered sarah had snatched it up and was laying under the coffee table gnawing on it. here's a fun picture of them standing up together at the coffee table. and yes, nissa is trying to climb up on it, but mostly to try and reach the dog toy. and yes, she does get up onto the table enough to reach it and pull it down. stretch. armstrong. baby!
