Happy Holidays

Good Morning everyone...last day of work and school and we are done for 10ish days so that is really good news. Yesterday went good, our work feast was yummy and bowling was a success. I'm not sure when I'll be posting next but you will see all the Christmas pictures I'm sure. Today's picture is her in her little wagon, she loves being pushed around the house in it. Have a safe and happy holiday!

3 days til Christmas Tuesday

Good Morning everyone. We are having a good week so far, only 2 days left and we are headed home for Christmas! Today is our Christmas feast day at work and we are going bowling so it should be pretty fun. Peanut is now the oldest baby in her room at daycare, I can't believe how time flies. Pretty soon (sooner then I want to think about I'm sure) she will be moving to the next room where they sleep in cots instead of cribs and have scheduled nap times. Hope everyone has a great Tuesday and finishes everything they have left to do for Christmas. We will be eating food, bowling and then packing, packing, packing! The picture above is her first attempt at her new potty and the picture below is her all dressed and ready to go to Olivia's party.....and I have added a bonus 1 year video, hope it works for everyone.

Santa....I know him!

Good Morning everyone. As you can tell by today's picture we had a good weekend. We finished Christmas shopping and went to Olivia's birthday party. We wrapped tons of presents and went to see Santa. She did great with him, as you can see. We weren't sure what to expect but she gave us a giant smile. We originally went to the Santa Land set up downtown at Boston Store but there was a 90 minute wait there so we went to the mall later in the afternoon and that was no problem. Now she is truly ready for Christmas! Have a great Monday everyone...

Happy Birthday Grandpa Bray!

Wooohooo Happy Birthday Grandpa! Today's picture is titled "You can have my cupcake, I don't want it." in honor of the birthday. Yesterday was a good day, nothing too eventful to report. One day of work left for the week, yay! This weekend will be spent finishing out Christmas shopping, wrapping presents and packing for our trip home next week. I cant Christmas is a week away already. Last year at this time I was stumbling around the house wondering what we had gotten ourselves into and enjoying a 6 day old baby. This year we are still stumbling around the house but now have a bit better idea of what we got ourselves into, that is, when we actually have time to think about it. Have a great Thursday and even better weekend!

The Tunnel of Fun

Good Morning everyone, I made it on this morning to post! We are having an alright week so far, just waiting for next week to get here since it's a short week and we get to head home for Christmas. Daphne is having a blast with the toys she got for her birthday. Today's picture is her crawling through her tunnel that she got from John, Greta and Olivia. She absolutely LOVES this thing. It attaches to a little tent that she can hang out in too! She had no reservations about barreling through it to greet the person on the other side. Yesterday, when we picked her up from school, we were greeted with a surprise pony tail. It was the cutest thing we have seen in awhile, besides her daily of course. Peanut with a pony tail is just down right stinking cute, you can't see to clearly above but she has one in the picture. Hope you have a good Wednesday, just one more day left this week!

Missed Tuesday

Sorry about missing my post today guys, my morning routine was thrown off. Daphne had her 1 year doctor visit today, she is 18lbs 10oz (15%) and 28inches (12%). They said she was doing good. They checked her over to see how her lungs sounded and how her ears looked. They said her lungs sounded good but both of her ears looked red. When she was in last week they couldn't get a good look at her ears so they aren't sure if it's on it's way out and or just starting up. I'm really hoping it's on its way out since tomorrow is the last day of the antibiotic! She seems to be coughing less and in good spirits but then when we got home she didn't want much of dinner, kind of gagged and pooped 4 times (total today) so I'm not sure what's up. All I know is we can't handle another sickness....so think get well thoughts! Today's picture is Peanut with her cupcake.

Happy First Birthday Daphne - 12-11-09

The party was a success. There were a total of 12 people counting adults and babies. The babies did wonderfully and had a lot of fun. I posted a couple pictures of the present opening, I will post more through out the week. She was not a fan of her cupcake but loved the Corn Sausage Chowder instead. I will post the cake pictures later too. My house is clean and I even had a chance to do my Christmas cards so that was an added bonus. Unfortnutley Mike and I have been infected with whatever Daphne has, which seems to be a horrible cough, and for me a horrible sore throat. She has her one year doctor appointment Tuesday so they can see if they think she is any better... All I know is Daphne and I were up every hour last night starting at 10:30 so I am not feeling it today. I have too much going on at work to miss today so that's not an option. She was waking to nurse and didn't really seem to be feeling horrible so I'm not too worried about her going to school but we'll see when she gets up. At this point all I want for Christmas is 4 solid hours of sleep in a row instead of waking up 4-5 times at night. Have a good Monday everyone...
