Long time, no type

It has been FOREVER...and now that the holidays are gone, and we are back, I can get back to our normal routine.

Never a dull moment.  While in Houston for the holidays, Ella had a bunch of dental surgery. Got back, Jim got promoted...Jim's family was here, and then we had a super bowl part.  Life has been a little hectic.

Ella's tubes won't fall out on their own and now I have to call and ENT to get them out...is anything EVER easy?  Was also told that she may have some bladder (urinary tract) problems.  So, we have to get this looked into.  this means an ultrasound on her urinary tract.  Can the kid catch a break?!

On the bright side, Ella is doing pretty well!!!  She seems to be maturing and understanding that their or consequences to her actions.  Either that, or I just became so fed up that I started to discipline her more.  Not sure which!

Today I had to hold her to get her to sleep.  It was a memory I will cherish forever.  Her little forehead on mine. She was all wrapped up in a big hug.  However, at the same time, it made me sad for her because she needed me to help calm her little body to sleep.  She should be able to do this on her own.  I know this sounds trite, but it is true. Needles to say, we will be buying her a weighted blanket to help with the problem!

Evie is doing GREAT.  She pulls up on everything and babbles all the time.  This sweet little baby keeps me sane.  Of course, she has her moments, but don't we all!  I can not believe she is going to be one in April.  Where did the time go?  Well, that is enough for now.....

I need to cook dinner, do bottles, clean up, play with Evie and then sleep.  I never thought that my world would be so small that its' happiness would depend on a child napping. C'est la vie!!!




I have decided I am going to write something funny the kids say in every post.  Hopefully this reminds me of the joy they bring to me and to my life.  Not to mention...it is just fun!


Me:  Ella, are you trying to kill me today?
Ella: No, not today.


This was after she tried to put a peanut M&M up her butt....was not sure if i was disturbed or impressed.
