First Giveaway!

I started my own baby and giveaway blog and have the first one ready! Check it out: http://babygiveaways.blogspot.com/. Any feedback or giveaway ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!

For Little Scarlett

You tagged me, Cute One, so here are my answers:

Top 3 blogs
Although I never have time to read blogs anymore, I do enjoy all my friends' blogs. I don't follow any generic blogs, except to enter giveaways.

Any weird pet peeves?
I hate when people chew gum; I think it's gross and juvenile. It irks me when people use double superlatives ("most stupidest") or use apostrophes for plural nouns ("3 dog's" instead of "3 dogs").

One thing you would change about yourself and why
Being more disciplined, as in not procrastinating or being lazy and controlling my thoughts and actions. I would get a lot more good things done instead of wasting time on bad things.

Three things you love about yourself and why
1. I am compassionate: it makes me a caring friend and an understanding person.
2. I'm a fast learner: I've picked up many skills over the years (though all at a beginner/intermediate level).
3. I am genuine: my sincerity and honesty has gotten me a lot of opportunities and blessings, especially in the workplace.

If you could only eat one dish for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Rice! "It is the breakfast of champions. It is the lunch of champions. It is the dinner of champions." (A million points if you know who said that.)

I tag Francine, Mary, and Rachel--the only ones who I think will do it--though anyone else is welcome to respond.

My questions:
1. What do you fear most?
2. If you could have any animal as a pet, what would it be?
3. What do you like to do to make yourself happy when you're feeling down?
4. What is the most wonderful sound in the world? The worst? The funniest?
5. What is your most disgusting or annoying habit?

Much Needed Update about Me

Mommy has been too busy to blog about me, so I decided to just do it myself:

• From the moment I came out of the womb, the first thing people say about me--besides how undeniably cute I am, of course--is how alert I am. I am so curious to see everything there is to see in this world. I am afraid of missing something funny or important or interesting, which means I fight sleep a lot.

• I like the sound of the vacuum. In fact, I get fussy once it's turned off. I also like the sound of water running, the toilet flushing, and Mommy drying her hair.
• Sneezes scare me. Except my own.
• A few weeks ago I discovered my hands and have been sucking on them all the time ever since. This gives my parents' pinkies a break since I don't like pacifiers.

• I've also been really slobbery, and I like to blow spit bubbles.
• I am Muscles Baby: powerful legs (ever since the womb, Mommy says), great head control for my age (which started about a week after birth), strong abs (I'm already starting to sit up). I just have no desire to pump up my arms like Daddy's. During tummy time, I just lie there and suck on my fingers and then cry when I am done.
• I talk and coo a lot. Mommy likes to have conversations with me. I laugh at her interpretations of what I'm saying. She's not even close!
• I like to play copycat: I make noises and Mommy imitates them. It's so funny!
• I am getting so big. At my two-month appointment, I weighed 9 1/2 lbs. I'm probably 10 or more by now. You can tell by the little rolls on my thighs and knees and the chub on my arms and cheeks.
• I like watching the animals go round and round on my bouncer. I also like to chill in the swing our friends let me borrow.

• Since birth, my left sock has never stayed on. I somehow always kick it off. The right one eventually follows.
• I love bath time!
• Mommy says I look like a mouse when I eat because I put my hands by my nose and wiggle my fingers.
• Remember that post I wrote about all the names my parents call me? Well, now they just call me "Bugs," short for "Bugaboo." Interesting that Mommy calls what she loves most after something she hates most.
