Grandma

Grandma Marie is now in Idaho for a year. So we went over there on Sunday and got a few pictures with her and the kids so that in a year we can see how much they have grown up!

We survived

Well we survived the first wind storm of the season. Power was out for about 6 hours and it was very windy. The baby took 2 naps and I got one too. Hopefully we don't have a storm like last year that took 3.5 days to get power back on and freezing temps. At least the baby is older and not 3 months old.

Sittin on a shelf

She got up on this shelf by her own power and then well, realized it wasn't that much fun! So of course I snap a picture before helping her out. Lately though she is finding hiding places under her crib, behind doors, on shelves it is very funny!

funny baby

Tonight we were talking to my dad on the phone and Alexis came over and this is how the conversation went:

Daddy "Say hi to Grandpa"

Alexis gets really close to the phone and says really quietly "hhhi"

Then just to make sure that is what she really said we had her say it again "hhhi"

So cute and she says cat and dog! Quite the vocabulary she is getting. She still hasn't graced us with the "no" but I am sure it will come soon.

I want to hear your vote, do you think she looks like me?

Apples, Apples, Apples

OK so we picked apples today. I think that she ate more then she picked, such a wonderful life. She loves being outside so this was a real treat to be outside eating an apple, which she has never ate before. We got all but the top ones picked and filled 2 of the crates. Now we are just trying to decide what to do with them applesauce, dry them, eat them who knows! Can I just say that she looks so much like me as a child, my next post will be a comparison picture for all to see.

I almost cried

Just now the baby and I were sitting here eating and she was getting fussy so I asked her if she wanted down and she shook her head no, so I asked her if she wanted more grapes and she shook her head yes. The thought struck me she can tell me what she wants now...What a huge accomplishment. She also signs more, please and eat, waves bye (not hi though). She loves to give kisses(BEware they have to be on the mouth) and she squeezes really tight for hugs. I love her!

Wow that was kinda tough so I guessed a few

1 Year Check Up

Well she had her well baby visit today. She is 31.75 in length (86%) and 22 pounds. The doctor is concerned because last week she was 22 pounds 11 ounces. She has been really picky about food though and getting a molar. So she wants her back in 2 months to make sure she is gaining still. So her food issues continue today, gave her a sandwich and she smashed it all over the table threw it on the floor and wanted down. I don't know what to do with her! Anyways she was very unhappy with me because I wouldn't let her play with the keyboard so she throw a tantrum. Then when they gave her 3 shots she cried so hard, but mommy was smart and brought her laughing hippo for her to hug and that helped a bunch, she held it all the way home. She was so cute. But the aftermath of these shots so far has not been bad. Last time she cried hysterically for hours and then didn't move at all if she didn't have to for 24 hours. She hasn't cried just been a tad clingy.

Then after her nap she put my 20 day new cell phone in the dogs water bowl. It had to be replaced. Lucky for us Verizon was generous and let me buy a new phone for $50 they were going to have me buy a new battery for $50 and give a re-furbished phone but gave me the first option also...so we took it. My new phone in the end cost us $100. So that is my daily saga.

Well this was fun...who are you?

New paint

So I finally got a picture of our house sporting it's new color and hardware! I had Britt put up the new light before he went to work since he was going to be home late. We will get the trim donesoon (You can't tell to bad that we got green on the white!).



Also look at this girl and then ask yourself does anyone sleep when she is in bed with you? She fell asleep this morning while drinking her bottle so we left her!

Monday

She has an ear infection. Poor baby, they put her on the antibiotic for re-accuring infections. But she is doing so much better. She slept through the night last night. So we are all a bit happier today! I got a new front porch light and new house numbersand new blinds for the last uncovered window! I am so excited for Britt to put them up. The light has a motion sensor and light sensor. So we can set it to come on every night or just when you walk on the porch. I guess I truly am a house mom when stuff like this excites me.

Birthday party

She didn't get a token in this because she is afriad of them when they move!


We went to Chucky Cheese tonight! What a fun time. We got a total of 630 tickets!!! So Alexis picked out a baby doll and a new bib. She was dancing with the mouse and walking all around. She is cutting a mollar so very subdued. When we got home she was burning up with a 103 fever. Poor baby she is just not getting these teeth very well. I just hope it doesn't turn into another ear infection. Daddy gave her a blessing so we will see in the morning how she is.

My what a day

OK so I will take pics tomorrow when it is daylight.... but Erin, Stephanie and I rock the painting thing. So we started painting around 1 this afternoon. and we got the whole back side and the North side 3/4 done by 3:30. The awesome part is that we had 6 kids to take care of. Well OK Alexis was taking a nap. Only 3 of the kids got paint on them too! For the side of the house Erin and I were holding the babies! We rock and a special shout out to Stephanie and Erin for helping and to the kiddos who let us do it without major problems! I am just excited because it is almost done! We will probably do the trim work a little at a time though, but we are keeping it white so it will be fine!

You have to click on and make it real big...it will just make you laugh!

So I put the girl to bed for a nap, So she was real quiet and I decided to check on her. This is what I found... the pink stuff is supposed to be draping the outside of her crib not be inside. She was sitting in the middle of the carnage, but stood up before I got back in there with the camera! That's our girl hamming it up!
