Maddy has her first cold :(

It started last night, she was coughing in the middle of the night, about every hour or so I had to get up and put her sucky back in her mouth. I had also noticed she seemed a little sniffly yesterday (I call it snuffly like snufflupugus off Sesame Street, anywho, LOL!) she got the runny nose today and is having a hard time actually settling into a good sleep tonight. She's a bit on the fitful side of sleep right now. :( My poor little sweetie. Course being the scrapper that I am I told DH that I should take a picture of her first runny nose...he thought that was a little over the top ROFL!!! (I didn't do it btw.)

 

Anyway, just wanted to say we are still here, still busy and now sick. I have class tomorrow night so I am hoping that Maddy feels better. Oh and they are predicting 20 degrees celcius (68 F) for Halloween!!! WOWOWOWOWOW!!! It's always freezing here for Halloween! We've trick or treated in -25 and snow more years than I care to count so this will be nice. Maddy will be staying home though, couldn't find a costume for her at only 4 months and this gal can't sew a rectangle piece of fabric so I guess that means I won't be making her anything LOL! Kelsey is probably going to go around without us this year so I guess it will just be us manning the door and trying to keep the dogs form going completely psychotic every time there's someone at the door, oh and keeping everything quiet enough for Maddy to sleep LOL!

 

Well off to clean up a bit, nighttime is the only time for me to get things done so I better be going!

Wow time flies!

Seriously why is there not double the time in each day?! I THOUGHT I would have ample time to get things done while at home on maternity leave............ROFLMBO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Apparently I completely underestimated this little new addition and just how much time she would need to be held and entertained heehee. Our little one is now 4 months old and wow has she changed!

She had her 4 months shots last week, oops actually 2 weeks ago and we are still having exploding diaper issues from that, it is always a side effect for her for about 2 to 3 weeks or so it seems. But otherwise she's doing well. ;)

She is definitely into teething again now, everything goes into her mouth and she's having a blast using some of the funky new teething toys that are out there that vibrate when you bite down on them or play music or sounds when you bite them. Seriously wayyy better than what I had for dd#1 10 years ago!

She has this new cry, and trust me if you could hear it you would laugh like I have to! It's a full-on DIVA cry and it's hilarious. She does this when she's mad so it's not like I laugh when she's hungry...this is just something she uses to express her ummm distaste for things shall we say LOL!

Well there are many things to get done here so I will sign off again. I need to do some new pics and edit some video, I really should stay up late tonight and do that...but it's already 11...so little time much to do.

Oh I almost forgot, Kels flooded the bathroom and basement the other night so yeah...towels to wash and floors drying out and bathroom vanities swelling :( sooo not fun!

Sooooo busy!

My poor old neglected blog it seems I go in spurts! What can I say, Maddy keeps me extremely busy! She's doing really good, she will be 4 months old on Monday and is growing like a weed. She's just such a precious joy to us! She's finally been better in the evenings, it seems like from about 2 months to about 3 1/2 she would scream for a few hours a night no matter what you did short of jumping around the house with her...sooo that's what we did! Well it seems that stage has finally ended and we are breathing a sigh of relief. Although she's not without her challenging stages. Don't think I'm lying around eating bon bons here ROFL! She is in a stage where she wants to be held and be with Mommy all the time. Good yes, but bad when you need to have a shower or go to the bathroom or fold laundry etc heehee. We have some routines worked out though so I do get little bits of stuff done here and there but not as much as I'd like for sure!

Just wanted to pop in and say I'm here and still alive. Oh and in case you're wondering the weather here is turning :( it will be -35 before you know it! I don't know why that surprises me or bums me out but it does! Sigh.

Hopefully when I get my dvd disk filled up I will get the chance to burn some more of Maddy's videos. (If I just burn each little video segment I forfeit the rest of that disk so I try and use up a whole disk before formatting it and editing the video just fyi. ;)

I'll leave you with a cute word for the day (at least I think so lol, but then again I hang with a 4 month old all day ROFL!)...We call Madison: Maddy, Mads, Mad etc so when she was giving me attitude this morning we dubbed it "Madittude" I think if fits perfectly! ;)

Happy Thanksgiving weekend to all the Canadians out there!
