Ugh Blogger Issues!

So I decided to buy a blog template and all for the holidays and install it cuz it should have been easy-peasy right?! WRONG! UGH I could cry! All the hard work I put into my own design from before is now gone and it looks worse. It's late and I'm tired so excuse the "dust" as I try to find time to fix and renovate this poor ole ugly blog now. :(

LITTLE PIGGIE!

Heehee, no I'm not talking about myself (although I could be lol) Miss Maddy ate a whopping 8 ounces of formula at lunch today...what's so special about this? The fact that we have been trying to get her to take a bottle for MONTHS now! UGH! And it didn't even matter if it was formula or breastmilk she would not take a bottle!

 

On my last class this past Thursday (it figures) I came home to find the bottle of formula that I had left for her...empty! NO WAY! She had gulped it down in no time flat I was told, wowzers! So we decided to switch the formula this next try to see if it was the new bottle n.i.p.p.l.e. or if it was the formula, I can now tell you it was the new n.i.p.p.l.e. She gobbled it down like there was no tomorrow this time too! YAY!!! SO apparently Miss Maddy likes the fast flow n.i.p.p.l.e.s. not the slow, not the variable, not the medium, not the medium orthodontic, not the latex vs silicone, and not sippy cup spouts (yes seriously we tried all of those ROFL!) oh and definitely not the new $15 ridiculously expensive b.o.o.b.y. shaped bottle either LOL, it has to be the fast flow for my lazy little stinker heehee. :)

Just a quick post

SO many Projects and chores and sooo little time! Just wanted to show off my (and DH's) hard work yesterday, oh and of course the most gorgeous girlies on the planet! But then again I am biased lol! ;) Here is our newest Christmas photo. I will get some more edited and uploaded soon I hope.  (Man it's hard work doing them yourself with a 5 month old LOL!)

 

 

 

She's sitting!!!!

So Maddy has started sitting up by herself as of yesterday! She can only do it for a few seconds at a time but that's the start and she's already getting better at it! :) She's really blossoming lately, really getting her own personality and quirks LOL! Right now she sits in her bumbo chair and swings and taps her right leg and foot (always and only the right heehee!) it's soooo cute! She is just the light of our lives!

 

And ya know, it's a good thing cuz she's starting to having some irritating sleep problems lol. I always say it's a good thing she's cute cuz it's not so cute to be woken up every hour on the hour or even more frequently eeeek! She's in this stage where (most nights it starts around 4 am) she starts "crying" for her sucky, she's not awake, her eyes aren't open but she's fussing and she will, can and has done this every 15/30 minutes, sometimes we get an hour long stretch, until 8:30 which is normal wake up time. ACK!!! Sleep deprivation is kicking in big time again! I miss the 8:30 to 8:30 days.

 

All that and we're still happy as clams, only parents would understand. ;)

We had a soaking good time tonight!

Miss Maddy has definitely outgrown her first bathtub, it just didn't even cover her with water but I couldn't seem to find one that would work and since she's still not sitting up on her own I just didn't feel safe using the big tub just yet so we finally found her another tub. We weren't sure how well it would work or if we would even like it.....Miss Maddy on the other hand LOVED it! HEEHEE! Bath time was sooo much fun tonight!

 

At first she didn't want to stick her legs in, she wasn't used to being covered in water heehee, but once she did she started splashing and soak us she did!

 

 

We all just had so much fun tonight, it was the great end to a cranky weekend for the little one too. :)

 

So hopefully I can get the video uploaded and edited soon mom and dad, you all know how long it takes to do that though heehee. But rest assured it will be done and you'll get to see and hear our squeals and her splashes soon! And in one out of every 50 to 100 shots you get a gem....here's our Maddy in a similar pose to her birth announcement 5 months later, what a big girl she is becoming!

 

 

 

 

Enjoy your evening!

Happy Halloween!

Well we had a very busy day here yesterday! Our two girls, I mean ghouls LOL both looked absolutely awesome and the weather couldn't have been better!!! It was actuaklly 22 C that day!!!! It's usually -20 C so this was a treat for sure! So here's some pics!

 

My 2 ghouls! Aren't they awesome!?!

 

Kelsey the Zombie Bride, I think she looks fabulous! And I love the smirk!

 

My little cutie! We couldn't find any costume in her size so I just dressed her up in Halloween stuff and colors. I made the bow in her hair and the halloween argyle leggings are actually socks that I cut up to make like those baby legwarmers that are so popular now and I even made her a halloween pacifier holder from some ribbon! She wore her 1st halloween onesie and a black tutu that is just tutu adorable! LOL! We went all out and she got sooo many compliments!

 

 

 

 

Well there is still so much for me to do as always so I will say goodbye for now!

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!
