Just updating to say I’m feeling much better. Still have a head cold but even that’s much better. When I still wasn’t better a couple days ago one of my daycare Mom’s (who’s a nurse) tattled on me to my doctor. I didn’t call them and tell them I was still sick, I was certain it’d pass. But apparently she was beginning to think it may not so I now am on some meds. I also get to start back on THE pill tomorrow.

I’m waiting for my flickr video’s to finish loading…. they are taking FOREVER.

I made apple cookies for my son to take to school tomorrow as they are studying Johnny Appleseed and can bring any sort of apple treat. I wasn’t to thrilled with them, but it was a new recipe and I only had tonight so there ya go.

These days baby is…
…holding the phone to his ear and talking
…he points at everything which is so flippin adorable, his little teeny tiny finger pointing at what he wants.
…walks everywhere, crawling is becoming a thing of the past, he still likes to crawl when he wants to get somewhere super fast. usually when he’s trying to sneak into the bedrooms or bathroom.
…eating more and more big boy food, he’d probably be doing better with this but I’m such a chicken about what I give him. his latest fav is Teddy Grahams.
…accepting only slow nipples on his bottles. anybody else try switching to fast nipples? he loved them for a while and now wants nothing to do with them. this is making bottle making so much fun as i only have 3 slow nipples.
…laughing so hard! he laughed so long and so hard the other day that he fell over!
…standing up completely on his own from a seated position. or he’ll bend over, grab a toy and stand back up. sometimes he’ll just reach over pat his legs a few times, giggle and then stand back up. tooooooo cute!
…growing like crazy! he’s almost as tall as my 16 and 19 month old daycare kids! WOW!

Going to go fold laundry while waiting for the last of my videos to finish up. HUGS TO ALL!

For cryin out loud! I’ve been sick since Friday. Enough already. My body needs a break. My house needs cleaning! Seriously don’t leave the guys in charge…. it turns scary, next thing you know you live in a bachelor pad. ACK!! Okay so it’s not a complete bachelor pad, but it felt close to it, to me anyway. They let me do some resting, they cleaned the garage and even rented chick flicks for me!! And my guy even watched them with me!! The lady at the video store was thinking he was a bit crazy when he rented them but he told her I was home sick We’ve watched a few movies lately which is unusual for me. Juno - I loved it - I cried. Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium - Very cute show. Meet the Robinson’s - Excellent show. 27 Dresses - I fell asleep - want to watch it sometime. We have Into the Wild - hope to watch this tonight. I went to the doctor today as directed to do by my OB/Gyn. Part of the problem is my birth control, but then Friday all hell broke loose and I was way sicker than should be because of the pill. Anybody else taking/have taken Lybrel? Problems? Friday woke up pukin my guts out. And NO, I’m not pregnant. Everybody has asked that, I took a test, I’m not. Hell even Grandma asked that FIRST THING! Geesh. I had many other problems on top of pukin. And then to top it all off I got a head cold. Doctor did some blood work and I did learn that my thyroid is back to normal!! Yippee!! No more graves disease lurking in my body! Anyway… doc sent me home thinking that maybe this birth control problem (weird break-through bleeding for a month now) maybe has me so worn down that my body is just saying it’s going to be sick for a while due to blood loss. I had low blood pressue and a low/slow heart-rate. He also asked if I always looked like this… ummmm yeah I think so? He said I looked terrible overall and I looked too thin. I’m about 15 pounds lighter right now than I was before I got pregnant, he wasn’t to happy about that, said it’s not normal, didn’t seem right. But I was thinking… pfft what the heck does he know about weight I feel great so I’m totally leaving that alone. Anyway… that’s a brief bit about me right now. HUGS TO ALL!!

…sick
…going to doctor

that’s all.

Baby is too quickly learning that anything and everything can be used as a ladder, including Mommy, Daddy and Big Brother. I kept thinking he was coming to give me some hugs and lovings, instead he’s just using me as a ladder to get onto the couch or chair. He uses the barn a lot to get onto my little wicker basket which gets him right next to the tv. He’s just everywhere. Yesterday he climbed up me, got onto the chair and then tried to climb across to the end table where the phone was, I imagine it was time to call the operator again for the millionth time or maybe he just wanted to dial #25025###00000555555522222 or something similar to that. I stopped him from crawling over to the table, but he saw some toys behind the chair so he wanted down. And he wanted there quickly so he put his arms straight above his head and pushed off with his feet and over the side of the chair he went. I saved him from hitting head first by grabbing one leg! TURD!! He laid on the floor on his back and just looked at me for a bit then laughed. If he only knew I’d just saved him from himself. He’s supposed to be a baby a while longer! I’m scared to think what a year could bring us! This all happened while he was 9 months old! ACK!!

Baby is doing things a little backwards here… He just stood up all by himself again. Daddy saw it once and then I saw it once outside yesterday (while he was trying to eat rocks and was getting down to pick them up and then standing up), but I just saw it again which means he definitely knows what he’s doing. Hooray Baby!! So walking came first and now he figured out how to stand up to walk!
