Mommy and Me!


Wow! I am incredibly bad at this blogging thing. My last post was September 20th, and here we sit at the halfway point of October. I know time flies, but this is ridiculous. Of course, it doesn't help that work is on warp speed right now. Things will slow down for that after the first week of December, which I am sure will be about the time Lucy starts crawling, and she is taking off faster than I can keep up. Sheesh! I have 100% completely given up on my other blog. Maybe when I am old and gray I will have time for that.... scratch that - by that point in life I better be traveling. I'll call you and tell you about those adventures instead of typing it into cyberspace. I can keep up (*hopefully*) with a phone call - and heck, by that time we won't have cell phones anymore and most likely telekenesis will be the new phone forward fashion.

On to little miss squiggles.

We just got over our first double ear infection. It sounds worse that it is/was. She is a trooper - never complained. We brought her in to see Dr. Adams b/c she was extremely congested, and we were worried about her breathing. Totally the right thing to do (see the ped.) b/c it turns out she had been exposed to swine flu at day care. But, she tested free of the pig, and now, after some wonderful antibiotics, we are back to giggling and playing like normal.

I was so excited when I got home from work today with Lucy, b/c when I went to get her out of the car, I realized she put her pacifier in her mouth all by herself!! Of course, when I tried to get her to do it again, I failed - but hey, it's progress! Also *knock on wood* it seems we are over the middle-of-the-night-american-idol-auditions. Instead, her new thing to do while sleeping is wake up totally turned around facing the wrong direction. I want to know how she can move around so much and still stay asleep - it baffles me. Then again, her daddy is a pro at sleeping through anything, so maybe she received his talent there.

Other than that, things are moving right along. She wants to kinda crawl - she's getting there. She's still babbling away like crazy (a talent inherited from her mamma and grandmas), and laughing more than ever. It's an extremely fun stage right now! My favorite part? Seeing those arms reach for my face and give me a big ol' kiss! Priceless!

According to my mommy, you have to exercise to maintain a healthy lifestyle!
