Ahhh....

Things have been pretty good for the past few weeks. She got over her cold pretty easily. I, however, was super sick a few weeks ago. I have never been that sick before in my life! It started with a sore throat and cold. I missed one day of work because of the fever and sore throat. That weekend, I was tired, but just had a regular cold. I fell asleep on the couch really early on sunday night (8:30!), and when I went to bed at 10, I started throwing up. And I really didn't stop until 3 or 4am. I even got some blankets and a pillow and tried to sleep on the bathroom floor, but our bathroom is small, and I could smell the diaper genie LOL so that didn't last long. I sent DD to daycare that morning, but there was an ice storm and the daycare closed early that day (of course.) DH had to come home from work because I couldn't take care of DD! I spent the day in bed sleeping, which I have never done before in my life. DH texted me at around 4 and asked if I was still alive down there! haha. I stayed home from work on tues to, but I was feeling a bit better. Wed I went to work, but I shouldn't have. I was so nauseated, It was the longest day ever! BUT the good thing, DD didn't get it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :)

DD is eating pretty much everything we are these days, and that has made us realize that we do not eat enough fruits and veggies. Not even close actually.... We are carb-a-holics! I am in the process of trying to find new veggie recipes that are quick, or that I can freeze. Not getting home until 5:50pm every night means that we have been eating a lot of quick foods. I want to find some good recipes that will freeze well, so I can cook everything up ahead of time. I am not a very organized person, so I am not sure how I will get into this type of routine, but I have to do it so we can eat more than toast, pasta and soup. :)

Sat, we decided that its time for DD to get rid of her morning bottle. She is 14 months old now, and really, the bottle should have been gone altogether 2 months ago. But she resisted the sippy cup so much, she wouldn't even drink out of it until 13 months or so. Now she is fine with it. However, she is a very routine baby, and when we put milk in it, she wouldn't have anything to do with it. Milk doesn't go in a sippy cup in her world. She kept slapping it away, and would not drink out of it at all. I had to go to work, so we packed her up, brought her sippy cup with the milk with us, and away we went. She cried pretty much the whole way into town. She was hungry. I have to say, I wasn't too sad to kiss her good-bye and say have a good day as I headed off to work that morning.... I know.... Terrible.... DH fed her some yogurt and she was fine for the rest of the day. The next day, she slapped it away a few times, but then drank out of it. This am she had her arms reaching out for it as I gave it to her, and she drank all of her milk no problem at all. So that wasn't so bad. Now I guess we have to get rid of her night time bubba. I actually don't want to do that. I like holding her and feeding her at night. Its usually our make up time, as she has usually frusterated me to no end trying to get her out of the bath, diaper on, and dressed...... :S Oh well, its gotta be done!

On friday when I picked her up from daycare, the daycare worker said that DD was "crazy!" She was laughing and running around and kissing one of the little boys at daycare LOL The little boy happens to be a distant relative of hers, and he was born on the same day as her. I have the boy's mom on facebook, and she heard about it too, and that her DS was running after DD kissing her too. LOL Wish I would have seen that. Then that boy's mom's status was updated to "holy pink-eye!" Crap. I knew it was coming to my house for sure! And sure enough, she rubbed her eyes quite a bit, and yesterday morning, I noticed a tiny bit of pink in her right eye, and a bit of puss. Not enough to glue her eyelid shut, but I knew it was coming. We took her into ER before I headed to work and he said that it could be viral, and to let it be unless it gets more puss. So so far, its really mild. She is home from DC today and tomorrow because I am off, so it should be good to go by then.

New things she is doing: She is pointing at a lot of things and saying "DAT" Also, she makes this crazy face if she is trying to open something, or if we give something to her and say "try to open it." She grits her teeth and acts as if she is straining to get it open! HAHAHA its sooo funny! I should really get that on video....

I have her down for a nap right now, but so far its not working LOL she has been kicking the wall for a bit now, but I think I am going to let her be for a little while longer. She has been a very good girl today. We played a lot this AM. LOVE my DD :D
