a piece of cake

Well, a whole cake, really. This is the cake I decorated tonight. It tastes much better than last week's. It's chocolate, and I don't even like chocolate cake, normally! I've been using this cookbook called "The Cake Mix Doctor." It uses a box cake as your base, but you add lots of other things to it to make it seem more homemade. The white cake was kind of dry. This chocolate one is really moist and dense and good. Anyway, this week we learned how to do the shell border you usually see around cakes you buy that are already decorated and how to make some different kinds of flowers.

Not much else to tell you about, except that she's been sleeping through the night again! Hooray!! Last night was an exception, but for the most part she's sleeping from 7 pm until 6:00 or 6:30 am!!! It's so nice to sleep all night....I forgot what it felt like.

Her new favorite thing to do is wiggle in her high chair. She looks like she's dancing. I don't know where she got this idea, but she just sits and shakes her head and upper body back and forth like a little dance. It's so cute! She also really enjoys standing up in the bathtub...a habit Daddy and I are trying to break. Clapping is still a favorite pasttime as well, especially to music.
