35 Weeks

I get weekly updates on my pregnancy from Babycenter.com. It say's that the baby is pretty much developed at this stage and is just putting on more fat. So I guess that means I'll still be gaining some more. Since my digital camera broke I haven't taken any pictures of me all big and round. Well, I finally got some film and started taking pictures with my film camera. The quality just isn't the same, but here are some pictures of me at eight months.

Me and Jaida

Me and Jaida again.

A funny word Jaida has been saying:
benny buntiss.............belly button

Yesterday Jaida kept getting on the counter while Monty was trying to fix her breakfast. He told her that if she got up on the counter one more time he was going to spank her. So of course the first thing she does is climb back on the counter. So Monty spanked her and sat her down in the chair. With big alligator tears, and a stuck out bottom lip she says, "Daddy, be nice to Jaida, okay daddy?" He said he felt so bad, but after a little bit he said he was sorry but she needed to do what he said. I guess she forgave him too because she gave him a kiss on the cheek.

Potty Training

"They are only as good as their trainer." We've slowly been trying to potty train Jaida. We bought her some training underwear (a little thicker than the usual), but ususally just let her run around naked. About every 10 minutes I'll ask her if she needs to go potty. Last Friday she "had to go" three times, and it was only the third time that she really did "go." That night she was in the kitchen and I hear, "Ah-oh water," and then water sounds. Luckily it was in the kitchen. Saturday she peed on my sister-in-law's couch. Sunday morning I found dog pee in the computer room - Rocky, and Sammo had peed in the kitchen (guess we left them alone to long Saturday night). Sunday night I wasn't being faithful to the 10-minute-asking because Jaida again peed in the kitchen. This time Sammo was in the kitchen with her and started licking it up. I was yelling at Sammo to get out of the kitchen and Jaida starts yelling at me saying that she wanted Sammo to get it - gross!!
Needless to say there hasn't been any potty training going on this week.

Two Tickets

I just got my second parking ticket this week! Monday I was a little late and the student parking lot was full. So I parked in one of the empty housing parking lots. I did that all last year, and once the first week of school - no ticket. Well, now you have to have a certain permit and so I got a ticket. Today I put up my sunshade, which covered up my temporary parking pass hanging on my mirror. So I got another ticket. Can they even track me for payment? When I got the pass I didn't have to give any important info like SSN, licence plate #, or even my name. But I'm also pretty sure that if I don't pay (at least the first ticket), it'll catch me sooner or later and be a lot more than $10.
