Wordless(ish) Wednesday: Here we go again

I have been a BAD BAD blogger. I have not posted in a week. I blame this on lack of sleep and lack of total motivation. I seriously feel like a zombie after i get everything I need to get done during the day done.

Little Miss has been up all night for the past week. I feel like a have a little insomniac on my hands :) She just can not seem to get comfortable and nothing I do seems to help.

Today after her nap she spiked a fever of 102.8. her top gums are REALLY swollen. I feel so bad for her. I gave her Tylenol and teething tablets and it seemed to help a bit but all she wants to do is cuddle. I love when she is so cuddly, but I hate the fact that she is in pain. Any suggestions?

Here she is cuddling me and her duck outside. It was the only thing that made her happy.

Wordless Wednesday : Rest!

This is my sweet baby resting and watching one of her favorite shows, Go Diego Go. She loves Diego but has no interest in Dora, it is strange. She also loves Sesame Street. It is so cute to hear her squeal at the TV.

Her sleep schedule is getting back to normally finally. I really hope I'm not jinxing it by writing this but I pray for her sake and mine too that it continues. The past week was hard on both of us, so this is a nice change.

Meet Me On Monday :)

 

1. I wish _________

 that time would slow down! My little baby is growing quickly and pretty soon will be a toddler. It seems like yesterday my water broke and I was at the hospital. I love every minute I have with her and it just seems like every morning when I wake up she just looks bigger, and she seems to learn something new everyday as well. I love her so much.

2. If you could witness any event past, present or future, what would it be?

I would want to witness the birth of my little one from the side lines. As horrific as the labor was, I want to see my husbands face when she was born. I know he was full of emotion, but with my emotions and pain I did not get to experience his face when she was born.

3. Do you like to cook?

I do enjoy cooking, but not always. There are some meals that I really love to make, but others I would rather snap and have it on the plates. It all depends on my mood. On the days I don't feel like cooking, the crock pot is my best friend.

4. What do you like to do to get exercise?
I LOVE LOVE bike rides with my little family. I could spend the entire day out bike riding.

5. How tidy are you?
I am not the tidiest of people. My car usually speaks volumes on that. :)

Wordless Wednesday: Standing

Little Miss is a little monster. Her favorite thing to do now is pull up on things and let go and see how long she can stand by herself. She is getting better each day and now can stand for about a minute without losing balance. I see walking in our very near future......

Teeth!

My baby has been having a rough time with teething. She does pretty well during the day, but we have been having A LOT of night waking. I feel like a walking zombie, and have for the past few weeks. I feel so bad for her when she wakes up in pain and try my best to comfort her the best I can. We have done Hyland's teething tablets and they seem to help her get her naps in during the day but do not do much at night. I am one of those moms who HATE to medicate unless absolutely necessary. I feel like its not fair to her tiny body, so we have only gone the Tylenol route once or twice.

She finally has the two bottom teeth in pretty far, and it is the cutest thing. It is so hard to get used to. It makes her look so big and makes this mommy a little sad.

She loves the tooth brush and I am trying my best to make this part of our nightly routine. Neither my husband or myself have great teeth so this is very important for little miss.

Are there any other remedies that you have tried and that have actually helped your little ones with teething?

Aloha Friday

It has been a while since I linked up to Aloha Friday so I am getting back in the game. :)

My question for everyone is:

What is your favorite family pastime?

Thankful Thursday

This Thursday I am thankful for:

1) Tires! I had a flat a few weeks ago and have been driving around with the spare. I was hoping that nothing went wrong with any of the others before I could get them all replace. They were BALD! Finally Tuesday my wonderful husband took them and got 4 new tires put of. It is a load off my shoulders.

2) Once again I am just grateful for what a wonderful husband I have. He does anything I need and is a wonderful daddy. I know Little Miss will always be able to count on him when she needs something, just as I can.

3) Not having cable anymore. This seems weird because we always seemed to have the TV on, but now we are enjoying a lot more wholesome family movies. We have been adding movies to Little Miss's collection and have been enjoying things like The Lion King. The husband had never seen it and always made fun of me for saying how good he was, but he enjoyed it. We have been using Red Box a lot as well, and love the connivance of it. We also subscribe to NetFlix because their selection of children's programing is GREAT! The TV has been off the majority of the day now and we usually only turn it on during our resting bottle time, and after dinner we watch something as a family.
