Lots to update but in a nutshell when we decided to go Vancouver or bust, bust was what occurred~waaay to much nonsense to write about and I am trying to look forward and be positive and not dwell on the negative. So once again the family packed up and relocated to stay with Chris's family while we once again make a new start, My grandmother has told me we remind her of Gypsy's the way we have uprooted so many times across the country. But you have to do what you have to do to survive and while it has been frustrating at times, we have had the unique opportunity of experiencing the day to day life in a few provinces in this great country. You definitely see much more of a place as a resident than a visitor, but back to my update! <br />
<br />
Lots of fun and exciting changes have been occurring since my last update, while we were still in Vancouver Little Miss began to sing along with Elmo's song on the computer. Only she couldn't say Elmo's song so she called it "La la la son", anytime she saw Elmo anywhere she would point and say Lalala Son. She has only just learned how to say Elmo. Her vocabulary has grown almost over night she can hear you say something just once or twice and copy the word now. She asks "what did you dooo?" and "whewre you goin, you goin?" when you leave the room. She doesn't like getting her hands dirty and will say "gwosss, dirty, gwoss" and run to you to wipe her hands off, she also knows when she drops something on the floor it is "a mess". I would say confidently she has at least 100 words under her belt at this point and its truly amazing to me how fast she picks them up. I'm glad I have begun baby-proofing my swears as I have heard her say " Oh Sugar!!!" a few times when she is frustrated...just like mama. Unfortunately she has a tough time pronouncing frog and it comes out as f*ck half the time, so hopefully she will master that one soon before we get too many dirty looks from people.<br />
<br />
Its pretty cute to see her when she hears a kid or baby crying someplace she will look in their direction and says "no worries" and if they keep crying she gets a bit pushy and just starts impatiently shhhhhushing them. We took Little Miss to get her Easter bunny photo at the mall not to long ago and that was pretty fun, she saw the Easter bunny while we were in line and really wanted to go up to him, she was trying to push in front of the line and daddy had to bounce her around to keep her happy until it was our turn. When we got closer she started to wave to the Easter bunny and he waved back, she enjoyed that bit...then came time so sit on his lap, she tried to squirm away and began to wail after a minute (thank goodness the photographer snapped a good one of her fast before the melt down). When we scooped her up and took her away she kept waving and saying bye bye Easter bunny, we waited for our pictures for a few moments and then we started to leave. Well once we were leaving it was waterworks again because she had decided in that time frame she did indeed like the Easter bunny after all. I gave her one of the photos to hold in the backseat of the car and she held and waved to it saying "bye bye Munches" (munch is what she calls bunnies as we have a baby animal book that says munch and munch is the sound effect a rabbit makes) all the way home.<br />
<br />
We had Easter morning planned out with 8 big eggs stuffed with McDonald's Ponies and a big My Little Pony train track at the end, we opted to avoid candy as she still wasn't too big into sweets at the time. When she grabbed the basket and dragged it down the hall she wanted to stop and carefully examine each and every egg right there it took a ridiculously long time to coax her down the hall into the living room. Later that day her Cousin 'G' came over and Chris's mom gave them each an Easter bag with sweets and some little toys. That evening we made it down to Chris's Grandparents house for Easter supper, the kids played and had a good time until due to adult coaxing roughhousing began and 'G' dove onto Lil Miss's stomach resulting in tears. Daddy was not a happy camper and had some words with people about not encouraging violent play with the kids. But it was an accident and soon the kids were having a good time again.<br />
<br />
I started watching 'G' with Little miss during the week to make a little extra $ and the two kids got along really well together, it was nice watching my little girl giggle and get excited to have a friend around!. <br />
<br />
April 30th Little miss got her first flu bug, she was throwing up for about 24 hours, we took her to the E.R in the evening where we were told just to keep her hydrated and rested.....waste of three hours of waiting time. On the plus side the doctor that did see us gave us a list of local doctors accepting patients so that was pretty good. Later that week the rest of the household all had a turn throwing up and being sick. It was pretty gross. I have more to update for May and June but that will be a bigger post and I am running out of time today :). <br />

However I am finding rather than it being pleasant it is much more stressful than I had imagined. Little Miss is not a perfect angel I will admit that here and now before I gripe about other peoples kids, we have tantrums and meltdowns and stubborn refusal to listen it all comes with toddler territory. But despite her limited interaction with kids before our move she is very good around other children.<br /><div></div><br /> At times she gets all up on the toys the other kids are playing with not to be greedy but in an attempt to join them. If another child is using the item we steer her to something similar, sometimes the exact same thing to join in and play together. But she doesn't grab things to steal them, or do the "MINE!" thing to other kids, she doesn't hit or push or bully. She is gentle around smaller kids she at times says "nice" and tries to pet them. She gets in front of other kids with smiles and a big laugh to try to engage them in play and interacts always in a friendly and gentle manner.<br /><div></div><br /> I am so proud of her when I see how nicely she tries to reach out to other children and I am also so scared for her at the same time. I have seen other children react to her sweetness with nothing but anger and violence. She has been pushed a few times now when trying to introduce herself to other kids. This week we had an older girl take her balloon and torment her with it, she is still to little to understand that she was being picked on. She chased the girl trying to get it back she thought the two of them were playing, but had the girls mother and I not intervened she would have outright stolen it on her. <br /><div></div><br />I have seen a gang of little girls at the playground get rude to her and tell her to "move out of their way" while she was playing on the equipment. One cocky little brat even looked at me and tried to tell me that the slide was just for her and her friend I had to explain to her that was not the case and they had to take turns. I make a point of staying close to her to help her figure out situations like sharing and turns which at 20 months is not something she understands yet but she is learning. <br /><div></div><br /> I at first kept my mouth shut, no one wants to tell off another parents child. But when its your child its hard to stay neutral especially when these kids are not being properly supervised. I'm not going to stand around and let my baby get victimized because little Tommy happy fists mom is more interested in talking on her cell phone, than making sure her kid is not climbing up the slide the wrong way and getting mad/ violent towards children attempting to use it properly. <br /><div></div><br />Its frustrating because she is not really interested in the kids her own age, who seem to play nicer from our experience. She really likes the older kids who of course dont want a baby to play with them, or dont understand that she is still a baby. Little miss is very tall for her age she is not yet 2 years old and she is so near the same size of some 3-4 year olds that they dont understand that she doesn't know what they are saying to her. Some little girls ran up behind her and tagged her into a game of tag and she had no idea what had happened, they also didn't know why she ignored them. I have seen her watch older girls run by laughing and she trails after them laughing away and they look at her funny, they dont understand that she is a baby and thinks they are playing with her. <br /><div></div><br />It makes me sad to think that she will lose her sweetness and become more guarded the more time she spends with other kids. How many times do you get pushed or yelled at before you think that's how children play and you stop greeting them with smiles and giggles and decide to push first?. How long before you realize your being excluded and wonder why?. I think of all the times I excluded my little sister when we were kids, it makes me feel so guilty and it breaks my heart to think of my baby going through the same thing. I try not to be "that" parent the hover mom, but how can I not be when so many parents are on the opposite end of the spectrum and let their kids run wild.<br /><div></div><br />Its not all bad we have had good interactions, Little Miss loves my friends little girl, she gave her about a dozen big kisses on the cheek and let out big giggles after each one. Some of the older children have been taught to be gentle and treat her kindly and want to try to show her how to do things, understanding that she is just a baby still learning. Little ones closer to her age, if not her size usually approach gently and have the same pleasant smiley greetings she gives. It gives me a grain of hope that she will learn the proper way to play and not learn bad habits that need to be broken. <br /><div></div>pixiekissedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07712671746694912212noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8836504377718066384.post-14483342216369793972012-01-03T23:19:00.001-08:002012-01-29T22:14:36.872-08:00A whole new world....<div></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNwVWhtpZPE0vSh9CY6Bc7BdFToAXL25uLp-vLOclleeCJNt4ulldxND-jZKH_TGtbSxkVyQyaVZaHxGwYzPhKDRjNkoeSA5B8x3onDMFVQ__G1OVlORMbGrLRDb-tLts-A_YN-XaSW0I/s1600/sept12011+051+copy.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNwVWhtpZPE0vSh9CY6Bc7BdFToAXL25uLp-vLOclleeCJNt4ulldxND-jZKH_TGtbSxkVyQyaVZaHxGwYzPhKDRjNkoeSA5B8x3onDMFVQ__G1OVlORMbGrLRDb-tLts-A_YN-XaSW0I/s400/sept12011+051+copy.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5696661578910356450" /></a><br /><div></div><br />So it has been good long while since I have written on here and allot of changes have taken place to keep me busy. From the last week of September our entire world has been completely upside down, we packed up the last of the house and moved from Nova Scotia to B.C. "Little miss" (L.M from here on out) has become the babies new nickname "Buggitto" no longer seems to fit. L.M handled the long flight rather well, Daddy put Tangled on the ipod for her and between naps and her movie she flew across Canada like a trooper. When we landed she took well to my Mom right away and seemed to be just fine with a new change of scenery. Thank-goodness! <br /><div></div><br />(all packed and ready to go, little miss crashed while we were getting things ready for the trip!)<br /><div></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinSmq-aMJUTolLefKhEplgQ4pa4krOQHJ9wQHAmDPEv8-pSKCwwOJvhz56NXlM7AfDUtE_1lMHd67dKLvVbhs6OwP129GK2lFa0SGS5ws3AMrDXZ7gnWhn3SMqp5e_PnXP6lWlskymx_w/s1600/arwenandprotest2011oct+185.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinSmq-aMJUTolLefKhEplgQ4pa4krOQHJ9wQHAmDPEv8-pSKCwwOJvhz56NXlM7AfDUtE_1lMHd67dKLvVbhs6OwP129GK2lFa0SGS5ws3AMrDXZ7gnWhn3SMqp5e_PnXP6lWlskymx_w/s400/arwenandprotest2011oct+185.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5693674355359133378" /></a><br /><div></div> <br />The month of October we stayed with my family and lived out of suitcases while we looked for our own apartment which was a bit of a tight squeeze. L.M got really sick that month, she was feverish off and on for the month and full of mucous. It was her worst cold to date. We also had a stroke of bad luck as little miss pulled my hot hair straightener off the bathroom counter and burned the top of her hand. We rushed her up to the children's emergency and they wrapped it in a silver bandage. After a few days when we went back for her to have it looked at they felt confident it was healed enough to come off. Her little hand did end up healing quite quickly and there is now barely a faint scar on the top which I am sure will fully fade with time. I also finally cut Little Miss some bangs as her hair was starting to take on a life of its own. <br /><div></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKIALmhPxZ-6Xp5fWkrQTgJ_0jdyrSjQDDWbGfCVwmWWrEv8YBz6ezhxoJ76XbLhcCxUIbWO5PGA1MdOWp6-ti0yHgTjXQtQ1hzk2iTACPgT6QTpzx2l1gda3N77eYOmMPiY1gkgHGqSE/s1600/oct2011+050.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKIALmhPxZ-6Xp5fWkrQTgJ_0jdyrSjQDDWbGfCVwmWWrEv8YBz6ezhxoJ76XbLhcCxUIbWO5PGA1MdOWp6-ti0yHgTjXQtQ1hzk2iTACPgT6QTpzx2l1gda3N77eYOmMPiY1gkgHGqSE/s400/oct2011+050.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5693674374871713362" /></a><br /><div></div><br />At some point in October L.M met some of our friends with twin babies and was very interested in them. It was pretty cute as she has more experience with animals than babies/ small children her first response was to go up the babies with her palm up towards their face to let them sniff her. It made me giggle, she knows at least to be gentle when the babies are so small. I have taken L.M to an indoor play center at the mall a few times and she seemed to really enjoy herself there which was good. She got pushed once by some horrible little brat dressed like a firefighter when she tried to play with him. Luckily the kids mom gave him shit immediately and saved me from losing my cool. She has played a few times with little ones at the bookstore and seems to be more interested in interacting than she used to be.<br /><div></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQmYKn_BEm_5vTbIpKp2tXkzrkHyimUYLXOwFeY-75b0LEPkPD6l5TFxks2tYkDdG1eL7BwxOcQH0XfGQHbUxKHn7pi7HmR9vF3D8_10hYJ14gPnv29jJiN_9jD6V2a16LfNw5FFKNy6c/s1600/oct2011+088.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQmYKn_BEm_5vTbIpKp2tXkzrkHyimUYLXOwFeY-75b0LEPkPD6l5TFxks2tYkDdG1eL7BwxOcQH0XfGQHbUxKHn7pi7HmR9vF3D8_10hYJ14gPnv29jJiN_9jD6V2a16LfNw5FFKNy6c/s400/oct2011+088.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5693676141163067634" /></a><br /><div></div><br />October heralded the start of tantrum mode for Little Miss it started with high pitched screams when she didn't get her own way but thankfully they came down in pitch over time. Some of it may have been due to teething, it appears almost all of her teeth came in full force over the last few months. This October Auntie helped sew us a sweet blue furry flying monkey costume so L.M and I could go as the wicked witch and her flying monkey for Halloween. Trick or treating was a blast, once L.M discovered that people would open their doors and give her something when she knocked she was happy to walk on her own and go about her business. She was having a ton of fun shaking smarties boxes like rattles and even tried letting herself into a few houses once the door was opened. By the end of the night we knew it was time to go home when she stood knocking at a door and her little body was swaying with fatigue. Daddy scooped her up and she literally yawned once and her little head dropped to his shoulder in a dead sleep. It was the first and probably the last time we will the see the likes of that happening again, she didn't even flinch when we stripped her out of her costume, changed her diaper and put her to bed. <br /><div></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjOHghLBakLFXIVCUcR7D4tSJ784-7rFCvRECsCLGThDHIRpbLypMsD0I_sw7BLSxYMSxzCvI_absGzXfDAbsFIxA8Uy5uTlnRRuAt224aZaVlO5AgTrWLAp57w_qVmABFmVK_f72f0DI/s1600/oct2011+136.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjOHghLBakLFXIVCUcR7D4tSJ784-7rFCvRECsCLGThDHIRpbLypMsD0I_sw7BLSxYMSxzCvI_absGzXfDAbsFIxA8Uy5uTlnRRuAt224aZaVlO5AgTrWLAp57w_qVmABFmVK_f72f0DI/s400/oct2011+136.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5693676159517486178" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgccmJKA_DPGB1t2DSK5hm7jnAEDP3KjnQLEMG7wvr7du9_90LcVEXhRSxafHf6PqhyphenhyphenG6720ftvkUbO1ExbLAAlAvgxTh-3qvMsaKK8xHOiBAw6_uFk42f1-n3uJoxTZLU7S-f_PRi4qtI/s1600/oct2011+110.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgccmJKA_DPGB1t2DSK5hm7jnAEDP3KjnQLEMG7wvr7du9_90LcVEXhRSxafHf6PqhyphenhyphenG6720ftvkUbO1ExbLAAlAvgxTh-3qvMsaKK8xHOiBAw6_uFk42f1-n3uJoxTZLU7S-f_PRi4qtI/s400/oct2011+110.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5693676150403964994" /></a><br /><div></div><br />The start of November had us moving into our own apartment where I was able to turn the dining area into a play space for Little Miss. We had a few issues of tantrums and climbing things she was not supposed to so I set up her playpen and she received time-outs in it until she calmed down. It only took a few days but the Tantrums eventually tapered off and while naturally we still get them, they are not nearly as bad as before....most days. Little Miss and I spent a good deal of time exploring the neighborhood, she loves going to Chapters to play with other little ones, we have a good park nearby and she enjoyed many lovely stroller rides in the beautiful fall/winter weather we were so lucky to have this year. For a few weeks while we were walking down the sidewalk Little Miss would stop in her tracks and cover her eyes if she saw ANYONE walking towards us, She would also hide her eyes if strangers tried talking to her. Now that crowds are not so foreign to her she has become a bit more confident. She even went so far as to start a big fake laugh at the lady behind the deli counter today when she peeked over and said "Hi" to her. <br /> <div></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCeqnAtHDJsjyLyFP13nzBHVbCmSQA5GHIbquPQU2YZbn7t02nFcU542lwhE7M9o2_8Zpa873sz7k2tyTQG5YYi87lkefgTTxJWCsv9qvw9XbzPDSiFPpFJvXIR_SYCTwT2wRFhOJJ7b0/s1600/novdec2011+005.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCeqnAtHDJsjyLyFP13nzBHVbCmSQA5GHIbquPQU2YZbn7t02nFcU542lwhE7M9o2_8Zpa873sz7k2tyTQG5YYi87lkefgTTxJWCsv9qvw9XbzPDSiFPpFJvXIR_SYCTwT2wRFhOJJ7b0/s400/novdec2011+005.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5693676166318651538" /></a><br /><div></div><br />Towards the end of November we set up our Christmas tree, knowing how grabby L.M can be I only put up Styrofoam fruit ornaments, a monkey art doll, ribbon and the topper this year. Little miss had a blast gathering the fruit ornaments off the tree and hiding them all over the house, I was finding and rearranging ornaments on an hourly basis. At one point during a spaghetti dinner she walked right up to the tree grabbed my glitter ribbon gave it a tug and used it to wipe spaghetti sauce from around her mouth. Despite her interest in the tree decorations she never once went for any of the wrapped presents that sat under it for weeks. Although most of my special ornaments remained in storage this year, I did put up my Christmas carousel. Little Miss LOVED it! As you turn it it plays music and L.M loved dancing to the song it plays. I tried moving it and putting it out of reach as she tried to steal the carousel animals a few times (which gave me the idea to get her some rubber animals for Christmas this year) . One morning I awoke with a start to hear the carousel music playing loudly and L.M dancing at the foot of my bed. She had woken up at 6:00am and reached up to my vanity to spin the carousel and have an early morning boogie.<br /><div></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7uuG7HTw2IFO5NoDG4LrRJOaFoTSjVTyCwW-f0_Cm5Jca2CWDhz-2-LFEoD6yuMf698L7qe8F-HumypLAHvNTyph0z4du3nshCM9HqFXwU2HIt-z_FsfAQMjtZX4v0Jo-9zZfYqzzhdU/s1600/novdec2011+033.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7uuG7HTw2IFO5NoDG4LrRJOaFoTSjVTyCwW-f0_Cm5Jca2CWDhz-2-LFEoD6yuMf698L7qe8F-HumypLAHvNTyph0z4du3nshCM9HqFXwU2HIt-z_FsfAQMjtZX4v0Jo-9zZfYqzzhdU/s400/novdec2011+033.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5693676169237237346" /></a><br /><div></div><br />Because of her love of the carousel we decided to take her to Burnaby heritage village before Christmas to see and ride the real carousel. When we got to the carousel she was excited to watch it go by and was pointing and saying "WOW", we were sure she was going to love it. I made sure to get her the prettiest pink and white horse, we were not allowed to ride it together so I rode the horse beside her and Daddy held onto her and stood beside her for the ride. At first she liked it then as it went along her opinion of the ride began to change from pleasure to fear. I think maybe it went on for too long or maybe Daddy was holding her to tight (he was pretty nervous about the whole thing). She wouldn't let me put her on another carousel horse when my sister and I went to the German Christmas village downtown, but when we sat down on the sleigh bench she had fun going around. I tried putting her on her rocking horse right away after Christmas and she was still to afraid to try to sit on it. A few weeks later that opinion changed drastically!! so minor trauma overcome!! yaaaaaaaaaay family fun!<br /><div></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBjZtZGosHcSyHs7zpCwgJYj5Tjaxr1wfhs5fvKqa1t15lx37eo5NiikntiqZWwVKxq-IHnKUOtNzzjHlbIgVPKTydKhqNtcQGkXS2A3CT8ZV5qsTUhp7AftNzsQzAA3jURCBnFu3PTcg/s1600/novdec2011+131.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBjZtZGosHcSyHs7zpCwgJYj5Tjaxr1wfhs5fvKqa1t15lx37eo5NiikntiqZWwVKxq-IHnKUOtNzzjHlbIgVPKTydKhqNtcQGkXS2A3CT8ZV5qsTUhp7AftNzsQzAA3jURCBnFu3PTcg/s400/novdec2011+131.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5693684828821304434" /></a><br />(Daddy and Little miss at Burnaby Heritage village!)<br /><div></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX8m7MgAtmtflvNRM6ZeFRe032iP3Q0OtrTlRm9VW4gpL60O5FW91JLbb55wytgY6VrL2GSMXPD3bIwbMQyv4PyghtFtjBTtRLIXHo0Ld5XGLYpd_Ab8K3_qKdleM_7yECgIqt3X8fqKA/s1600/novdec2011+105.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX8m7MgAtmtflvNRM6ZeFRe032iP3Q0OtrTlRm9VW4gpL60O5FW91JLbb55wytgY6VrL2GSMXPD3bIwbMQyv4PyghtFtjBTtRLIXHo0Ld5XGLYpd_Ab8K3_qKdleM_7yECgIqt3X8fqKA/s400/novdec2011+105.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5693684819149039570" /></a><br />(sometimes their facial expressions look so similar to me)<br /><div></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5Ptco0MBRdA4q3XO3UKEHYvchmcHQdCl3xT4d7l7hluOdj5eMqo1rJzXzRwkO1js8R35tk9RA-Lr1aptnKkoZSXODUWBtPAdehLzpsJBGXHrSyq8-jJ8UEKe01cXx5fnqNHQ46yzKGBg/s1600/novdec2011+093.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5Ptco0MBRdA4q3XO3UKEHYvchmcHQdCl3xT4d7l7hluOdj5eMqo1rJzXzRwkO1js8R35tk9RA-Lr1aptnKkoZSXODUWBtPAdehLzpsJBGXHrSyq8-jJ8UEKe01cXx5fnqNHQ46yzKGBg/s400/novdec2011+093.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5693684817398792850" /></a><br /><div></div><br />Christmas eve was fun we Skyped with Chris's family in Saskatchewan and were able to do presents and visit them through the computer for awhile. Little miss was laughing so hard most of the time, she loved having people in the screen talking to her and saying her name, it was pretty funny how excited she was. Christmas was very good to Little Miss, she got spoiled by Auntie and her Grandma's as well as by Santa, Mommy and Daddy. She got a rocking horse, a wheelie bug, two little tables one white and one Disney princess, blocks, a drum, a doll stroller, some stuffed cats, a small circus tent, rubber animals, a tea set, lots of books and much more. She had fun, I think she was a bit overwhelmed by all the people and presents but she did enjoy herself. <br /><div></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5yh39PO__wtMfjLjPavTiKirTYDXvWP-QxEdiQRBs3IgFQdHNG5xdn39_8b1ULUeSqZE8LiNKDA10396JqiH6fw7vFfzcH2o9sfnPXCXIrasyRRUS8PZANIP9-NWwqP6PxCul3KXzIXI/s1600/novdec2011+254.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5yh39PO__wtMfjLjPavTiKirTYDXvWP-QxEdiQRBs3IgFQdHNG5xdn39_8b1ULUeSqZE8LiNKDA10396JqiH6fw7vFfzcH2o9sfnPXCXIrasyRRUS8PZANIP9-NWwqP6PxCul3KXzIXI/s400/novdec2011+254.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5693684843254860610" /></a><br />New years was a quiet night grandma came over and we all said happy new year then Little miss went to bed.

<br />Wow! what a long time between posts where to begin???. As of June little Miss Buggito has been a lean mean <strike>walking</strike> running machine, keeping up to her has been a challenge at times.Not long after she discovered the art of walking she decided she was ready to begin climbing. She began making us nervous when she started to climb up the back of the sofa and start banging at the living room window. You cant turn your back on little miss for a moment, Yesterday I went to check my email and she had opened the bleed valve on the radiator.

<br />The start of August Buggito began to get two new teeth she got her first bicuspid on both sides of her lower jaw by months end. She is a drool factory these days and she cant keep her hands out of her mouth so I know a few more teeth are on their way but I haven't seen them poke through as of yet. Buggito's hair is growing fast and she has just enough cute little curl at the bottom, I could start to give her some nice piggies but she seems to hate having things on her head these days.

<br />Buggito can say a good handful of words the list so far is "mama, daddy, up, pretty, purple, no, wassists (whats this), hot, what, baby, ba (book,....were still working on that one). She has reached the point where she has her own ideas about what she likes and dislikes and she is not afraid to let you know with a good scream or cry when it is the latter. Toddler tantrums have officially begun. I cant blame the poor kid, how frustrating must it be to be told no,no,no, have things taken away, get redirected and then contained all day long.

<br />We have had allot of big changes going on around the house, some reno, we have gotten rid of a bunch of furniture and have been generally busy getting ready to move all the way across country (hence the lack of posting). I'm not sure if this has contributed to Buggittos moods or not but she has become VERY shy around people lately. If Chris is carrying her around a store and a stranger stops to say hello to her she starts screaming and crying. She is generally not as extreme with me, she just hides her face on my shoulder and peeks at people. She was never one of those babies who would run up to anyone to begin with but I find she is getting a bit more nervous around strangers.

<br />Buggito had a few firsts this summer (despite the crap weather) she experienced fireworks for the first time~ which pretty much traumatized her. She saw ponies for the first time, she went to the beach, she has been enjoying the gravel at a playground. She decided mommy's underwear in the clean laundry basket is a shirt for her to wear and puts them on over herself. She is a funny, sweet little creature and during the stress of the past few months she has been my little ray of light keeping me going strong.

<br />Yesterday I sat on my computer watching old videos of baby and I cried, those moments are gone now for good, I have new exciting moments now, and more to come. But I mourn the loss of my little pod person, I also mourn the loss of being a new parent, those first exciting months where everything is new and a good type of scary. Here is Buggito a year in review!!!

Mwa hahahaha!! Updating my blog is becoming increasingly more difficult now that baby is so mobile. It always seems the one overlooked item that she shouldn't have is the thing that she finds in every room she visits so constant surveillance is absolutely mandatory. Gone are the days of leaving her on the play mat because she cant get into any trouble. <br /><div></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid5ic8xnvfsWLJjnU2N3Q9KnVY3xSbUx_Wh_be3ipJ_DfIw7CB_qweUb7kh37IgzBtw3LKqVYshGAAVFwb5zQI53YIvxqUO4HUQZj8vY72GJUm7qXLF-KPnQFIEq-Kaj6xrD_jlnSLgjg/s1600/babies+birthday2011+009.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid5ic8xnvfsWLJjnU2N3Q9KnVY3xSbUx_Wh_be3ipJ_DfIw7CB_qweUb7kh37IgzBtw3LKqVYshGAAVFwb5zQI53YIvxqUO4HUQZj8vY72GJUm7qXLF-KPnQFIEq-Kaj6xrD_jlnSLgjg/s400/babies+birthday2011+009.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5611070891227492898" /></a><br /><div></div><br />Lots to update in Buggito's world, she now has 8 teeth her top and bottom 4 front teeth are in place, shes cruising like mad, she can stand unassisted for a decent period of time. She walks well while holding your hands and has developed a taste for some foods like tofu, asparagus, cheese, potatoes, noodles, chicken, tuna (still not rice cereal though). She can say "mama", "daddy", "mumu", (mushu the dog), "bup" (up), "baby", "no" and "oh no". Despite the words not being understandable she also has no problem holding her hand out (talk to the hand style) and yelling at you in baby gibberish when the diva mood strikes her. She also scrunches up her face and goes "oooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh" if she either really likes or dislikes something. <br /><div></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlE493iZgdXLwTlvvQoZVXxm_hvhisgHUI5aW6IqGS1tbj5HPgKOUghLVOdmnSK8xTyqcozHIRNJwwhQDql37gnotSMYC9t_3hgbmMb5nMErlBTZraMMn6Hn5NuRV47kkzL4Rz_RDRmWU/s1600/arwenaprilmay2011+232.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlE493iZgdXLwTlvvQoZVXxm_hvhisgHUI5aW6IqGS1tbj5HPgKOUghLVOdmnSK8xTyqcozHIRNJwwhQDql37gnotSMYC9t_3hgbmMb5nMErlBTZraMMn6Hn5NuRV47kkzL4Rz_RDRmWU/s400/arwenaprilmay2011+232.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5611077752932988370" /></a><br /><div></div><br />She went for her first vacation with Mommy this April, we flew from Sydney to Vancouver to go visit Auntie, Grandma & Grandpa for two weeks (she was so good on the plane). On our vacation we went to the Aquarium, the petting farm, shopped around downtown Vancouver, went to the states for some more shopping! We went to Rossland, B.C and the hot springs, we visited friends and family throughout the lower mainland it was a great trip!.

I spent a big chunk of the month between April and May being nostalgic about the same time last year. Remembering the anticipation for baby to arrive, recalling the little belly boots I would cherish when I was pregnant. As the babies original due date came and went I remembered my frustration about having to wait for her to arrive. I recalled the two times we were sent to the hospital for an induction that never managed to happen. It was only a short year ago that all these things occurred but it may as well have been another lifetime, its so hard to remember life before Buggitto came into the world.<br /><div></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh73o-WRKfVXBlqkIqFeqCe8zlRdGIlIiVh-uOn_50ujYv0nyyjvjrdxeZ6w9SRDrnTrdL-cgZGG8dQYBPuI88Ey_Yk7XA6oZ4inh2jFq1L36LUTmOh7RIy0qezAPVlqHpnhERyavv91K4/s1600/babies+birthday2011+146.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh73o-WRKfVXBlqkIqFeqCe8zlRdGIlIiVh-uOn_50ujYv0nyyjvjrdxeZ6w9SRDrnTrdL-cgZGG8dQYBPuI88Ey_Yk7XA6oZ4inh2jFq1L36LUTmOh7RIy0qezAPVlqHpnhERyavv91K4/s400/babies+birthday2011+146.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5611077054264384626" /></a><br /><div></div><br /> Not that I dont have the memories any longer when I say "life" I guess I'm meaning its so hard to get myself back into the pre-baby head space. What things mattered before baby? It all seems kind of silly in retrospect. How many little things angered me disproportionately, what did I focus my life and time and attention on?, what were my moral values. Its amazing how much having a baby changes you. It may be just having a real purpose, something that matters makes a bigger difference than just being carried down the stream of life. <br /><div></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_XH12O5diqiTTo-YMw_SnDm61FdWzJdxbiPHONUrjUpwH60jCx8setb06NLNkyr7Nf7ZXADDkv24Cg0IQ0ApqrLbY4MZ8NuB3CrxEMGZAuuLZY8vz21cf3Fbem6hdIni9ESuoCKbjS80/s1600/babies+birthday2011+151.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_XH12O5diqiTTo-YMw_SnDm61FdWzJdxbiPHONUrjUpwH60jCx8setb06NLNkyr7Nf7ZXADDkv24Cg0IQ0ApqrLbY4MZ8NuB3CrxEMGZAuuLZY8vz21cf3Fbem6hdIni9ESuoCKbjS80/s400/babies+birthday2011+151.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5611077063661798034" /></a><br /><div></div><br />Having Buggitto has helped me to see what is important more clearly than before, so many negative people and material things I have wasted time and energy on that can be easily snipped away and life is not any worse for their loss. With the limited amount of time in my life now for things outside of motherhood, you really learn how to prioritize what to spend your energy on. I have a great family and great friends and few other things in this world matter than those you love. The rapid pace of baby's growth has also really hit home the importance of cherishing each moment because once those moments are passed they are gone forever never to be repeated again. Live for the moment because this moment is all you have. <br /><div></div><br />I am getting myself mentally prepared to begin properly weaning Buggito now that she has turned one and can go straight to whole milk bypassing formula altogether. So funny how much the thought of breastfeeding disturbed me when I first became pregnant, and now the knowledge that it is coming to an end saddens me more than I thought would be possible. Its just one more cord to cut severing my sweet little one from the world of baby and preparing her for the next stage of life~Toddler. So many things you look forward to doing with your child when they are older you forget all the things that you wont be doing any longer, a bittersweet trade off.<br /><div></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSurG0ywD8ErtYTlPu761ZuXX2ICIqh5k2fGA5xPvfJIZwUVkkxLFT7OepmyVp9BC1kWt_56aH1iiVduvMNbsl4tH_8zy1c0-pFnYNNBWGBxNJPon3FNu4sIqFp3YbMft5Wj2aLpbtXWM/s1600/babies+birthday2011+057.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSurG0ywD8ErtYTlPu761ZuXX2ICIqh5k2fGA5xPvfJIZwUVkkxLFT7OepmyVp9BC1kWt_56aH1iiVduvMNbsl4tH_8zy1c0-pFnYNNBWGBxNJPon3FNu4sIqFp3YbMft5Wj2aLpbtXWM/s400/babies+birthday2011+057.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5611070906973896994" /></a><br /><div></div><br />But I digress, THE BIRTHDAY PARTY!!!!. I had invited friends from work to come to baby's big day we had about 10-12 people here to celebrate with us. As we have no family out here and are a bit isolated we have very few occasions to host a large get together. I enjoy hosting a good party with great food and I went all out. At work I decorated baby's red velvet cake with butter cream icing. Once home I made sub platters of chicken and tuna salad sandwiches, potato salad, pasta salad, cucumber salad, deviled eggs, sushi,we bought a shrimp ring and a fruit and veggie platter, homemade spinach dip and salsa, home made cream tarts, cheesecake tarts, cupcakes, snicker doodles and blueberry crepes. We made a punch bowl of Shirley Temple for guests and served coffee, and tea. Not to toot my own horn but *toot* I got started on this after a nine hour shift at work! Of course Chris helped me with the cleaning and some of the mixing and between that and the decorating we somehow managed to pull it all together in time for babies big day. We ended up with so much food left over that Chris packed up plates of sweets and sandwiches and took them around to the neighbors and he enjoyed doing that!!.<br /><div></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEideWpuVq0AUQSwJaCAKxKPBhCuRXKtkDHEeo1GOWaf-oQXp8zX7wc1xtHA9N6FnblzpPkfbmYla1-Iqi-IaY3T0qxgzNrS-_I64wRF5zIj4FG7e532JJgUL4OnenjZb9ATbU8xlSWWVk4/s1600/edit1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEideWpuVq0AUQSwJaCAKxKPBhCuRXKtkDHEeo1GOWaf-oQXp8zX7wc1xtHA9N6FnblzpPkfbmYla1-Iqi-IaY3T0qxgzNrS-_I64wRF5zIj4FG7e532JJgUL4OnenjZb9ATbU8xlSWWVk4/s400/edit1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5611076568487664306" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiogrleNwwpvqI63358UC3eSBXQWYNdv6BvIXlSq8sNGOuD3mkkdL9Rv6otiuyPKBT17RbIiZ47W9o8vUSE2YriD_MTz63W7ZMk4Dxjt30mXsHkZBdyVUvEurVSieYPvkO1D_6FgCccEg0/s1600/edit2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiogrleNwwpvqI63358UC3eSBXQWYNdv6BvIXlSq8sNGOuD3mkkdL9Rv6otiuyPKBT17RbIiZ47W9o8vUSE2YriD_MTz63W7ZMk4Dxjt30mXsHkZBdyVUvEurVSieYPvkO1D_6FgCccEg0/s400/edit2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5611076573565605570" /></a><br /><div></div><br />Baby received some books, a dvd, 5 baby dolls, a ride on walker, a xylophone, some sweet little outfits, a hello kitty towel and cutlery. She was more interested in all the people playing with her which was good ,I'm glad she got to have a day with a room full of people there for her making her feel special. We did birthday cake and gave her a cupcake to smash up, as soon as she got a tiny bit of icing on her hands she was disgusted and tried wiping it off in her hair. I tried feeding her a little bit but she made the grossed out face and shuddered she wanted no part of her cupcake! We gave her a stick of raw asparagus and she began to happily chomp it up. Once presents and cake were over everyone began to trickle out, the whole affair lasted for about 2.5 hours a good amount of time for baby who was ready for a nap shortly thereafter. <br /><div></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3Ui8oBmpem-50eJn_H42TtFbu9jprR311CiYnXC1Pq1F6WLafUDimrVTKoSnd3Tr0bpaTSp_ZUVoiUvKoJIMHy9mz8GrF-_lA77yFs9FnFw6Gw3Ei5HQ2gA5BdPTlJexNqmgpf903hhg/s1600/babies+birthday2011+049.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3Ui8oBmpem-50eJn_H42TtFbu9jprR311CiYnXC1Pq1F6WLafUDimrVTKoSnd3Tr0bpaTSp_ZUVoiUvKoJIMHy9mz8GrF-_lA77yFs9FnFw6Gw3Ei5HQ2gA5BdPTlJexNqmgpf903hhg/s400/babies+birthday2011+049.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5611070906195788098" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVITwiR_6i_q8-zZg-dG4fHHHH9e9g7YjTg3VRFxbNQhXKEjODDXL1ypedieZqHo_sdeaGpzivkuBYKrjquMEMxxAr-g8rrWWxK3cGu3Xj_vWM67_yTtEHTkgDVzfwtyXXA9KEQitEmDs/s1600/babies+birthday2011+135.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVITwiR_6i_q8-zZg-dG4fHHHH9e9g7YjTg3VRFxbNQhXKEjODDXL1ypedieZqHo_sdeaGpzivkuBYKrjquMEMxxAr-g8rrWWxK3cGu3Xj_vWM67_yTtEHTkgDVzfwtyXXA9KEQitEmDs/s400/babies+birthday2011+135.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5611077052725021810" /></a><br /><div></div><br />Now I am waiting to make a mold of her 1 year old hand and foot tonight, I did one of her hand and foot at 6 weeks and she is already about doubled in size. I'm also getting ready to take her in for her 12 month shots next week and once she has healed up from that we begin the weaning process. It wont be much longer before little one makes her first solo steps so I am keeping the video camera close and charged and hoping to catch the magic on film of some sort. Other than that life is going on as usual.<br /><div></div>pixiekissedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07712671746694912212noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8836504377718066384.post-91247523943686082882011-02-23T21:45:00.001-08:002011-03-01T07:51:06.225-08:00February update!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXNrBIBm5pveZyT5wH9od-fAnyhGiwDdmHqO2R928mmMArpTtyajyjXfyaor-CNU4xjJ_OoQJBmkJvAMYfTJWv-0wqbNt1NNRMTaVO3bdR47NvCaM91cSNzbGOLtLqHHMElYN05m3_sVE/s1600/february+085.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXNrBIBm5pveZyT5wH9od-fAnyhGiwDdmHqO2R928mmMArpTtyajyjXfyaor-CNU4xjJ_OoQJBmkJvAMYfTJWv-0wqbNt1NNRMTaVO3bdR47NvCaM91cSNzbGOLtLqHHMElYN05m3_sVE/s400/february+085.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5579137687316433602" /></a><br /><br /><div></div><br />February has heralded the arrival of 4 that's right.... count em up 4 new teeth.

So much change in such a short period of time..... its both exciting and a bit sad, she is not going to be a baby too much longer, she is working her way into toddler-hood at a rapid pace. <br /><div></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih8mFH6lTfARy0FXKCv-35He0dSTfF7ZfVTRYJa2cdQfaZxdzUV1QiAEJjzRNAqS8u9KFk5HdqzrmCDfSw61PiKkGBZeBkr1Cp45Smko97H9cbfuMu35gDxdEL0zjxnykoQfTMFK97TlY/s1600/midfebuary2011+174.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih8mFH6lTfARy0FXKCv-35He0dSTfF7ZfVTRYJa2cdQfaZxdzUV1QiAEJjzRNAqS8u9KFk5HdqzrmCDfSw61PiKkGBZeBkr1Cp45Smko97H9cbfuMu35gDxdEL0zjxnykoQfTMFK97TlY/s400/midfebuary2011+174.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5579138320241853042" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivrTv9L6a6W1yqQtPuTtq-LerGx8eiISPijA_76RSKGUj4pZvZ_IDnRA4Os4kifF5v2ml7BE1MY4MkZRllCq-rFRFP9WHQBoNE1UgT4M2P5Gl7Xstbp7ucaNXDbR-DFMsglR99i2kk1BQ/s1600/midfebuary2011+154.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivrTv9L6a6W1yqQtPuTtq-LerGx8eiISPijA_76RSKGUj4pZvZ_IDnRA4Os4kifF5v2ml7BE1MY4MkZRllCq-rFRFP9WHQBoNE1UgT4M2P5Gl7Xstbp7ucaNXDbR-DFMsglR99i2kk1BQ/s400/midfebuary2011+154.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5579138317861162882" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivf1WynUfIbrPObUWFH1ZD6ZqKzA93GEZ0dwmuc5GpKrCMZV31wBfijwxs_cLK3IuppuTOLWj17gke1PWlwkQoKWjvhc6JAKJ1lLj_k2c1F6AkZvcJ7XogDtZceD0Jv9nRZ0oPntMwCOQ/s1600/midfebuary2011+084.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivf1WynUfIbrPObUWFH1ZD6ZqKzA93GEZ0dwmuc5GpKrCMZV31wBfijwxs_cLK3IuppuTOLWj17gke1PWlwkQoKWjvhc6JAKJ1lLj_k2c1F6AkZvcJ7XogDtZceD0Jv9nRZ0oPntMwCOQ/s400/midfebuary2011+084.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5579137699734766050" /></a><br /><div></div> <br />Daddy's girl is how I would best describe Buggito's personality at this time. If you so much as whisper "daddy", it brings about squeals and shrieks of "DIDIDIDIDIDIIIIIIII". Mama "Mo-Mo" only gets called when its time for a good feeding or snuggle nap, the rest of the time its all about Chris. That's okay though he put in allot of time of playing second fiddle to me when she was really little and only wanted the food source to attend to her needs. It warms my heart to see his big smiles when she calls out to him and to watch him scoop her up into his arms singing "sweet little buttercup" to her as they prance around the house:). It was literally a year ago we went up to Halifax for an ultrasound and found out the sex of the baby, as soon as we found out it was a girl he was in a slight state of shock. He was so scared he wouldn't know how to parent a girl and so worried she would be a little fragile porcelain doll easily breakable and hard to handle. He grew into his roll nicely and its nice to see all those fears alleviated today :).<br /><div></div> <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzgoSRut0_vF0WzMCe3z-cxvwgAKNL29kw70jzCVjcZUgCfv9NxGlEzOC1woSXZNBo4LxyfmL2KKshE2shyphenhyphenvWaZ1JLItAQ44xf2g4gT5YrAHXODUn8YUWqFO-7Winq5gXswEk1dptse8A/s1600/midfebuary2011+168.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzgoSRut0_vF0WzMCe3z-cxvwgAKNL29kw70jzCVjcZUgCfv9NxGlEzOC1woSXZNBo4LxyfmL2KKshE2shyphenhyphenvWaZ1JLItAQ44xf2g4gT5YrAHXODUn8YUWqFO-7Winq5gXswEk1dptse8A/s400/midfebuary2011+168.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5579139362069809378" /></a><br /><div></div> <br />Buggito's baby babble is off the hook, she has lots to say, if only we could understand it all :). One department were having difficulty with is getting baby to eat her rice cereal, because she is a breastfed baby she needs the extra iron that this cereal provides for her. She HATES it!!! I am able to sneak her a few bites in some yogurt some days but over all she is not a fan, if she sees me mixing it she starts making gagging noises in her highchair. We have tried a few different brands and making it more palatable but nothing seems to work. Tomorrow I am going to the dietitian to get some tips and tricks and figure out how to get iron into her diet. On the plus side baby likes some foods, she does like yogurt, peas, prunes, edamame, cheese, crackers, I think she enjoys the novelty of feeding herself small pieces of easily chewed food!<br /><div></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBPzYxCIYyZ6qTsYn0m2K-aW4mMZvsq_gnAJ651qaB5yI6E-AsKASz0t-qyLxC42Us1kQWg9VvgYpOfMf_5w-TGjvcwZLn2Z5oqaJgar6ESL3HVwN4hQDNhQTR4Hb1iN7AF98lBcL5as0/s1600/february+117.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBPzYxCIYyZ6qTsYn0m2K-aW4mMZvsq_gnAJ651qaB5yI6E-AsKASz0t-qyLxC42Us1kQWg9VvgYpOfMf_5w-TGjvcwZLn2Z5oqaJgar6ESL3HVwN4hQDNhQTR4Hb1iN7AF98lBcL5as0/s400/february+117.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5579137693140776146" /></a><br /><div></div>pixiekissedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07712671746694912212noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8836504377718066384.post-48957241450872121522011-02-11T16:20:00.001-08:002011-02-23T21:11:38.967-08:00January a month in review...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoveRD6eevzKgsl59ZmnuxXc4J49pr5-xMuf8aAqSlklUzHDDBpnJ6GZZlAcS7B2YAMambs4mqTpor9xUlWzGA9awc0r4V500i9U_e41godG_pLk5EA9NX_D4RkZzPrx9uay3R0qau6D4/s1600/endofjanuary+146.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoveRD6eevzKgsl59ZmnuxXc4J49pr5-xMuf8aAqSlklUzHDDBpnJ6GZZlAcS7B2YAMambs4mqTpor9xUlWzGA9awc0r4V500i9U_e41godG_pLk5EA9NX_D4RkZzPrx9uay3R0qau6D4/s400/endofjanuary+146.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5577118261855706226" /></a><br /><div></div><br />January 4th 2011, the worst day of my life. I started off my morning doing up some dishes with baby sitting in her highchair just behind me watching mama work. I had just finished up and went to pull Buggito out of her highchair, in order to remove her from her chair you need to pull the tray off completely. I didn't want to put it down on the dirty floor so I turned around to place it on the counter top. Now this highchair has a safety belt and little miss should have been fine sitting there for the 2 seconds I turned my back.....but that was not the case. She had either managed to undo her belt under the tray when I wasn't looking or it had popped open when she leaned forward. However it happened doesn't matter, what happened next happened so fast I'm not sure how I could have intercepted it. I turned around to see her leaning forward to grab at her toes and as I reached my arm out to get her I watched her fall, as soon as the fall began~I screamed, and she landed flat on her little tummy right on the hard kitchen floors.<br /><div></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV_2fCyLzz4FggrS_0NwGWSfw3ofWhosCqRU5rqEn4uBe-IMV9Iv4QqvI507uB-XbjnSTV9hWaKpQGn3Vs1bRH8w0aiybE_DpjPO7v82Oe8iUDnO_xW1C9tbn_foQQZdbWrjD11iognl4/s1600/endofjanuary+100.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV_2fCyLzz4FggrS_0NwGWSfw3ofWhosCqRU5rqEn4uBe-IMV9Iv4QqvI507uB-XbjnSTV9hWaKpQGn3Vs1bRH8w0aiybE_DpjPO7v82Oe8iUDnO_xW1C9tbn_foQQZdbWrjD11iognl4/s400/endofjanuary+100.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5577118252888086706" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5rxybnkSO_l0XPGtrV5KLwHUDasDl4Cnb82IgQ_psqumaVftY-yg8TvVRHphyz7pcItDINOLvVNZP268Jqc5dGBnOYc1jqoO1IkSq8RBv_CjnrAmU8FcAPLA3lrKj1Y1Afj3wu5ui9uo/s1600/endofjanuary+033.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5rxybnkSO_l0XPGtrV5KLwHUDasDl4Cnb82IgQ_psqumaVftY-yg8TvVRHphyz7pcItDINOLvVNZP268Jqc5dGBnOYc1jqoO1IkSq8RBv_CjnrAmU8FcAPLA3lrKj1Y1Afj3wu5ui9uo/s400/endofjanuary+033.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5577118247521867666" /></a><br /><div></div><br />I rushed to her and scooped her up in my arms and she was quiet for a moment, sucking in the air required for the scream that followed. I had the highchair at its highest setting and for a baby her size it was a HUGE drop. I called up the stairs to Chris, "get your jacket we need to go to the emergency room". He came running down stairs and I began to bundle Buggito up in her snowsuit, she was bawling the entire time. We got into the car and drove up to the hospital. I was so scared she had bumped her head or perhaps broken her ribs or had internal bleeding of some sort. The nurse took us in right away and we waited for a doctor. The baby was so upset and so scared at this point she cried when the doctor came near her, he was able to determine her arms were okay but he had a hard time determining if her legs were hurt. He gave her some infant Tylenol to help with the pain and waited awhile for it to kick in before he came back. <br /><div></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsUikax7qFq0PGUYCosAvoU6SQWEGeQEwFg1qyVrgaK_dV1Z-dt7eSHUr0dUTNF0DYtgu2CYWwviMkj0Z2y51FNNuZcpOhz0XJHxM2Ex-1qfYDNShjd8-PmfF57apAG3y47EHNPtXCE44/s1600/january2011+147.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsUikax7qFq0PGUYCosAvoU6SQWEGeQEwFg1qyVrgaK_dV1Z-dt7eSHUr0dUTNF0DYtgu2CYWwviMkj0Z2y51FNNuZcpOhz0XJHxM2Ex-1qfYDNShjd8-PmfF57apAG3y47EHNPtXCE44/s400/january2011+147.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5577117636694505938" /></a><br /><div></div><br />When he did return he tried lightly pulling at her legs, but still couldn't figure out if they were injured or not. I told him she was able to stand on her legs when I held her and so we tried that, I noticed immediately she wouldn't put any weight on her right leg. He decided to send us over for a few x-rays of her leg and her torso. I snuggled her up and we walked over to the waiting area for x-rays, they had a rocking chair and I was able to rock her into a nice relaxed state. Once we made it to the x-ray room however that changed quickly. As soon as she was placed on the hard table and stripped down to her diaper she was screaming bloody murder. I had to hold her little legs and the technician held her arms above her head her little lips were trembling so her screams had a shudder to them. It was hard not to cry seeing how terrified she was and knowing I couldn't just scoop her up and make it stop for her right away. <br /><div></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsajkpSk-ftQbR7yn0nzumuQJM71mPUlsP4AJqz4l160tpKc9dYjFns9KzU-u542OvtYidGgd2U9lICZOYiz4g-V_Rx5qbBqRP7dmk-AUCtf8zONizxZgwG2q4NZh7CJ82BQOJwaR3R1A/s1600/january2011+126.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsajkpSk-ftQbR7yn0nzumuQJM71mPUlsP4AJqz4l160tpKc9dYjFns9KzU-u542OvtYidGgd2U9lICZOYiz4g-V_Rx5qbBqRP7dmk-AUCtf8zONizxZgwG2q4NZh7CJ82BQOJwaR3R1A/s400/january2011+126.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5577116239637871874" /></a><br /><div></div><br />When the x-ray was over we went back to a quiet room in the E.R to await our results, an hour or so later the doctor came in and said she had a buckle fracture on her right leg. He took us out to look at the x-ray, he decided the best course of action would be to splint her leg right away and have us wait for the pediatrician. We waited for what seemed like another hour and finally the pediatrician came in, he gave her an additional examination to ensure it was only the leg that had been affected, He told us that the babies major bone growth would take about 10 days to heal. We had to leave the splint on her and take her back to the orthopedic specialist in 3 days time for a check up. We were given the green light to go home where we spent our afternoon smothering Buggito with attention. <br /><div></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVaqhK0_GTsPXIBt4jSrJoRhlRN1WVXL6uoOTRWFYlIhieFFs9A0z7u2unyk-NEVjdVjWe-j7CgFyrLl3BElNAHg_S3wJppnkjKk2cJBIul_AHLQXhAytLH2XW85DS3MDWjo8JU38NLtI/s1600/january2011+104.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVaqhK0_GTsPXIBt4jSrJoRhlRN1WVXL6uoOTRWFYlIhieFFs9A0z7u2unyk-NEVjdVjWe-j7CgFyrLl3BElNAHg_S3wJppnkjKk2cJBIul_AHLQXhAytLH2XW85DS3MDWjo8JU38NLtI/s400/january2011+104.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5577116235407137074" /></a><br /><div></div><br />I was so worried child protective services would investigate us because we came into the hospital with an infant with a fractured leg, for a few weeks I was feeling uneasy and maybe a bit maniacal about keeping the house in order just in case someone came knocking on the door. But to my relief no one came, and a few friends and coworkers shared their stories of babies first accidents and it made me feel a bit better that I wasn't the only "horrible mother" who allowed her child to "get broken" on her watch. I had so much guilt for being so careless and allowing the baby to fall. Chris was my champion and kept telling me kids have accidents, they get hurt and that mistakes happen. He was so understanding, I'm glad if it had to happen it happened on my watch because I don't think I would have been as kind and good to him if the shoe was on the other foot. But I will remember how he comforted me on my screw up so when his turn comes I can support him in the same way.<br /><div></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKvNuYsft2uE2Yb4LJ5GDo-A4OQsX5lN1GQIIflZmU1pvxTV_MBfIrW6cqgcTxVxRCaZWvpdIvMqE7j6DY6H_o1k0GLwUKJnMPjMnrJzclqucUVnjoevwrZIZYsLROu9HUWYjJQ6FmdqQ/s1600/january2011+154.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKvNuYsft2uE2Yb4LJ5GDo-A4OQsX5lN1GQIIflZmU1pvxTV_MBfIrW6cqgcTxVxRCaZWvpdIvMqE7j6DY6H_o1k0GLwUKJnMPjMnrJzclqucUVnjoevwrZIZYsLROu9HUWYjJQ6FmdqQ/s400/january2011+154.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5577117651698680018" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbIPiavRvyYJplb2cJjZFYtOYU0OM7wrVMTZ8LR0Qzbnu0s8o-swXJfBJUwzbwcSGz2-iuHGTITQlXdvLy-OOqFAPUQC3MwcwiPArBmmm9XJ5bTARtQ_PEvOuwtEYHAwz1GY0B9bJBdcI/s1600/january2011+156.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbIPiavRvyYJplb2cJjZFYtOYU0OM7wrVMTZ8LR0Qzbnu0s8o-swXJfBJUwzbwcSGz2-iuHGTITQlXdvLy-OOqFAPUQC3MwcwiPArBmmm9XJ5bTARtQ_PEvOuwtEYHAwz1GY0B9bJBdcI/s400/january2011+156.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5577117647484302866" /></a><br /><div></div><br />We went back to the orthopedic specialist who said she seemed to be healing well, he gave us a new bandage and took the bottom part of her splint off. We had to come back in a weeks time to ensure it had healed properly. We went back the following Friday and lo and behold, the splint could come off and she seemed fine. We were initially worried it may delay her crawling and standing, but I think she managed to use her splinted leg as a kickstand to help herself crawl. She went from dragging herself on her belly to full on crawling in a matter of days of having the splint on. Once her leg healed the majority of the excitement for baby in January was that she weighed in at 23 lbs (the same size as a one year old!!!) and she got her top two lateral incisors so she looked a little bit like a little vampire for a few weeks. <br /><div></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFaXU3SXC4QRjR4-_W8khZTWJ_7gqUz0sV3YghbIHNURNigYVy3QAkvGwShkG-MiLseWQFriB5E8wn_OP9hlOT1rCeQkTxk_Zb2vstdaa9hLxUqR0lvf22ZguYiZnlzGaSrh9DBDCKQCU/s1600/january2011+055.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFaXU3SXC4QRjR4-_W8khZTWJ_7gqUz0sV3YghbIHNURNigYVy3QAkvGwShkG-MiLseWQFriB5E8wn_OP9hlOT1rCeQkTxk_Zb2vstdaa9hLxUqR0lvf22ZguYiZnlzGaSrh9DBDCKQCU/s400/january2011+055.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5577116225437391906" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikbzBip9CmyFnncEbGksvp14RtxGose1kSN8x5ZJVmDyZy3sdWYqnlS1hTc5y5ClFAjXJTcFIbyLMyVJsRJwUmnLTyf-qjyDSDeIZJscq4cNnktPM_YI3zfoZEDrZZbpCuFTDXV8Q9jTs/s1600/january2011+025.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikbzBip9CmyFnncEbGksvp14RtxGose1kSN8x5ZJVmDyZy3sdWYqnlS1hTc5y5ClFAjXJTcFIbyLMyVJsRJwUmnLTyf-qjyDSDeIZJscq4cNnktPM_YI3zfoZEDrZZbpCuFTDXV8Q9jTs/s400/january2011+025.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5577116216852683522" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCNlRk2EdwgwHBnWHN-D26F3uNWC6yrnOpV14FEXCS7Tye2MQkfxg-1aF1MBure7-Wh_ZPKCocDF96iqziOS_Bp_R1CvGh9cKnaAc9EQ5R23FwNVntTRikDPLJMQrZDFcDlDKatneaa6w/s1600/january2011+007.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCNlRk2EdwgwHBnWHN-D26F3uNWC6yrnOpV14FEXCS7Tye2MQkfxg-1aF1MBure7-Wh_ZPKCocDF96iqziOS_Bp_R1CvGh9cKnaAc9EQ5R23FwNVntTRikDPLJMQrZDFcDlDKatneaa6w/s400/january2011+007.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5577116209509109602" /></a><br /><div></div>pixiekissedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07712671746694912212noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8836504377718066384.post-77738150915942943122011-01-23T09:52:00.000-08:002011-02-11T16:19:37.426-08:00The fun and excitement of Christmas!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvMTrEvIjBECZd22IvaTWh_r5J4c0aPPhBi_lf5AOAd0zRtCwbkrUhQbcgQlg5mHWCwO3vcdyLrW9bQ_4bgs4rtzbib4vEF9yk4rVeBqFILMAvZN2H6QOS2hynvip0PZEbe7E4txdmmuk/s1600/december+end+2+067.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvMTrEvIjBECZd22IvaTWh_r5J4c0aPPhBi_lf5AOAd0zRtCwbkrUhQbcgQlg5mHWCwO3vcdyLrW9bQ_4bgs4rtzbib4vEF9yk4rVeBqFILMAvZN2H6QOS2hynvip0PZEbe7E4txdmmuk/s400/december+end+2+067.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572485546780342098" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><br />Whew its been awhile since my last post!!!. So I have allot of catching up to do. Lets start where the last post left off. How was our Christmas?. Christmas this year was probably one of the funnest Christmas's we have had in awhile. In Chris's family they do their presents at midnight on Christmas eve, so this year we decided that's how we were going to do it. We waited up until midnight and set up the camera and began grabbing toys for little miss to unwrap. She was still a bit to young to really appreciate the anticipation of the unwrapping process.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3TCS2EwJZF4Gpdad1_BDEAJaCyC-iJFMEitAzSsTZLhX6DIuNouN_MNj94iL7UJL1gyC9425hKRX01NY4nBP29932mRu8vBoq2wGgahCvmtX0mS2cqNZsQFmt8_Z1gz0T_IEs8M44B1U/s1600/december+end+2+138.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3TCS2EwJZF4Gpdad1_BDEAJaCyC-iJFMEitAzSsTZLhX6DIuNouN_MNj94iL7UJL1gyC9425hKRX01NY4nBP29932mRu8vBoq2wGgahCvmtX0mS2cqNZsQFmt8_Z1gz0T_IEs8M44B1U/s400/december+end+2+138.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572485566456442194" border="0" /></a><br />I think she still had fun though, She was very interested in looking at each present and less about opening up any of the new ones. It would have been nice to have some more family around to spend time with, but at the same time this year we were able to hog Buggitto all to ourselves. We did manage to make it to my Boss's house for their Christmas party for a couple of hours, that was really fun. It was nice to have somewhere loud and full of friendly holiday faces to be with.<br /><div></div><br />( As you can see in the chaos, she made out like a bandit this year)<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDNkOwudQBOlBOTdpQFzS6Xv81uSdH5AkO6CbRuhOyVRH732Z_4YASDlTj5KxXGL-yjfrghqlT6f5EtLBeoXy8nDxHIGNdLMLPzuEJ9BR6fK7fvv-ISmp3zFWGOWj4-Afu-Ij7NR9laMA/s1600/december+end+2+163.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDNkOwudQBOlBOTdpQFzS6Xv81uSdH5AkO6CbRuhOyVRH732Z_4YASDlTj5KxXGL-yjfrghqlT6f5EtLBeoXy8nDxHIGNdLMLPzuEJ9BR6fK7fvv-ISmp3zFWGOWj4-Afu-Ij7NR9laMA/s400/december+end+2+163.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572485801831033074" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><br />(two out of three babies eagerly awaiting Christmas presents!)<br /><div></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdThyphenhyphenTOplgTvAuKohwyLUyqwrg8IKSKsW6qy229q-wFjiotACfRvUfIgupMBzESpT6gfkgfyyBEczHVkZYN0l-sNzGqGsCRoZezzWLrv7FAyB5A09YaKFYocTwSnJyNYrLrot1uWyYdnA/s1600/december+end+2+078.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdThyphenhyphenTOplgTvAuKohwyLUyqwrg8IKSKsW6qy229q-wFjiotACfRvUfIgupMBzESpT6gfkgfyyBEczHVkZYN0l-sNzGqGsCRoZezzWLrv7FAyB5A09YaKFYocTwSnJyNYrLrot1uWyYdnA/s400/december+end+2+078.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572485560778205570" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><br />We decided to make our first turkey dinner together this year as well. As we didn't have a proper large roasting pan we opted to just buy a cheap foil one at the grocery store at the same time we got our turkey. Chris did the turkey and I did the trimmings and it turned out wonderfully. Unfortunately When Chris went to carve the turkey he jabbed the knife right through the bottom of the pan, before we knew it turkey juices were flooding the table. They went right through the leaflet on the table and when Mushu (the dog) came out from underneath her coat was soaked. After a few minutes of stopping the leak unsuccessfully, we Christened that dinner the B.P turkey dinner. (Ha ha the joke was in poor taste but the dinner was delicious!!! bada-bing, bada-boom!) Anyhow we did eventually manage to stop the leak and were able to sit down to eat, despite our valiant effort to tackle the turkey we still had waaaay to much meat left over so I was able to make three huge pots of turkey soup to freeze for another day. <br /><div></div><br />(heres our dinner pre-spill chaos!!!)<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYPzGRBCdrRgbB5ji0fxX-UhNg00b8Yqzx7faS3GjxrDTa36MSC5JHG73ypBCvfU62If61pTV_nQFmzc0Hky94tIGVho11Qq21ZdCtgYzzs0p1PisgOvuCjnC_AhYbOeZYl9wZVOoeOuo/s1600/december+end+2+189.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYPzGRBCdrRgbB5ji0fxX-UhNg00b8Yqzx7faS3GjxrDTa36MSC5JHG73ypBCvfU62If61pTV_nQFmzc0Hky94tIGVho11Qq21ZdCtgYzzs0p1PisgOvuCjnC_AhYbOeZYl9wZVOoeOuo/s400/december+end+2+189.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572486228456744210" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><br />Buggitto watched her first Christmas special which was pretty cute, she watched Shrek the halls all the way through. She especially like the Shrek babies, whenever they came on screen she started to make little grunts of excitement and shake her fists around. We had a quiet boxing day, we managed to get the baby a nice coat for next year at a good price but that was about it. So for our first family Christmas I have to say I was not disappointed and next year should be even better as baby will be a bit more responsive to things. <br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFjb9lhJwekPW4cUkY_hxEISs8ZKgdFs1NBaV-eLfEJLtbxEco8MRSEhEXT5vg0AG_97hOGdqwn1p_YeYsdv_M-UkAolby662gDk8bxqfqIGpDIronB-BRVHQhudqM7MNxbDF-kQwsDTU/s1600/december+end+013.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFjb9lhJwekPW4cUkY_hxEISs8ZKgdFs1NBaV-eLfEJLtbxEco8MRSEhEXT5vg0AG_97hOGdqwn1p_YeYsdv_M-UkAolby662gDk8bxqfqIGpDIronB-BRVHQhudqM7MNxbDF-kQwsDTU/s400/december+end+013.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572486220535172386" border="0" /></a>pixiekissedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07712671746694912212noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8836504377718066384.post-9871274374547211432010-11-28T17:50:00.000-08:002010-12-06T08:47:48.033-08:00Whats new??<div></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqGaw6cyCq1BM7exgldqWm0Jp-Z-CcW_tohBcmAaM6p_zB-W1uAn0QB2bNZwkdXmZjSUQariy3jCOdnH6DC0M2RZUDQPUbZgQZMenbPimBDsLxj06BWtzzyl2xD-sIZRgtwMcyYFqtbek/s1600/novembermiddle+038.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqGaw6cyCq1BM7exgldqWm0Jp-Z-CcW_tohBcmAaM6p_zB-W1uAn0QB2bNZwkdXmZjSUQariy3jCOdnH6DC0M2RZUDQPUbZgQZMenbPimBDsLxj06BWtzzyl2xD-sIZRgtwMcyYFqtbek/s400/novembermiddle+038.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545091606546616802" /></a><br /><div></div><br />As the month of November ends I find myself rethinking my Christmas present choice, baby may not be quite ready for a small grand piano. A few more age appropriate toys will be best for her as she has really begun to appreciate playing with her various toys. While on a Christmas note~ we set up our Christmas tree last week and baby took her Santa mall photo. We took Buggito to the mall about an hour and a half before Santa was due to arrive, of course rather than fall asleep right away, she didn't decide to nap until about 15 minutes before Santa arrived. I tried waking her up for photos a few times but she was having none of it, so I decided that's fine she can just nap on Santa for her photo. As soon as she was placed in his lap her eyes shot open and she sat there mildly stunned/ confused trying to figure out where she was. The photographer got our picture and we decided Ah-what the hell, its better than a pic of her screaming we'll take it. <br /><div></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikuBjRHwkQSg27E4M9AxbN_JCChMjYmENhjWMfkm0kAI9MGJNRxmIhhm7D5-GTghuAaFn8mBa1oJXhLFXRebRXbq_yz_SLDy7P89o0qdqpk6Io9ZYf4ZGAUHbM18pmS3wjp2muCH9W10M/s1600/Santa.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 287px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikuBjRHwkQSg27E4M9AxbN_JCChMjYmENhjWMfkm0kAI9MGJNRxmIhhm7D5-GTghuAaFn8mBa1oJXhLFXRebRXbq_yz_SLDy7P89o0qdqpk6Io9ZYf4ZGAUHbM18pmS3wjp2muCH9W10M/s400/Santa.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547603156496773186" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv73h2xdiVarR7YmSwGNN-mD6Q8zDbqU7Y_8wVpUFCLDSNwcHFAkVb3KYSAtQCQ-wbsMCgT_qTmKhJIQBc2iNosveRMasAnh9rbNQfS6rUrcd6BnaVTElQh5uT2Y_1WKVkGff8m0nIx1M/s1600/first+xmastree+022.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv73h2xdiVarR7YmSwGNN-mD6Q8zDbqU7Y_8wVpUFCLDSNwcHFAkVb3KYSAtQCQ-wbsMCgT_qTmKhJIQBc2iNosveRMasAnh9rbNQfS6rUrcd6BnaVTElQh5uT2Y_1WKVkGff8m0nIx1M/s400/first+xmastree+022.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545092222064805698" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh14Kba2GDRxzorhEiJIf5NhupYGcEig0_IpMVo718N-vaQkO0f-aNlueWRbMmvZXnvhd0WQlsME1UzFkcrtq1HBhdRgNOfwatoh06vIZN8wPNh5g1JpliWIRaNgj46-Q3SFJ29HU8Ywa8/s1600/novembermiddle+023.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh14Kba2GDRxzorhEiJIf5NhupYGcEig0_IpMVo718N-vaQkO0f-aNlueWRbMmvZXnvhd0WQlsME1UzFkcrtq1HBhdRgNOfwatoh06vIZN8wPNh5g1JpliWIRaNgj46-Q3SFJ29HU8Ywa8/s400/novembermiddle+023.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545091617187770962" /></a><br /><div></div><br />We finally took our family themed Halloween photos (almost a month late), I should have those handy by mid December to share.

Chronicling my family can be exhausting work!. <br /><div></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw1aN86jNcim870onaHhASRM_Pd8GSqf78olTpOFzf1l5OD3rkqvUAiDynrnupRN7LNENlDUf6wYfqMRHsrdajNK8wUkMmwkShQih5Tj9-y7fXX1DuFSTFBVIpQptXR2ZoZvmXSGwzd_Q/s1600/novembermiddle+182.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw1aN86jNcim870onaHhASRM_Pd8GSqf78olTpOFzf1l5OD3rkqvUAiDynrnupRN7LNENlDUf6wYfqMRHsrdajNK8wUkMmwkShQih5Tj9-y7fXX1DuFSTFBVIpQptXR2ZoZvmXSGwzd_Q/s400/novembermiddle+182.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545092189103984674" /></a><br /><div></div><br />Buggitos first tooth popped up a friend only two days after our initial discovery (see picture below for a peek at those beautiful chompas!). So now she will have her bottom two front teeth for Christmas!. As far as her teeth go, she is still chewing quite a bit and drooling allot, I'm not sure if that's because they are still working their way up through the gums or if more teeth are coming soon?. I have been bitten on more than one occasion while nursing and I cant say I'm a fan of that, after a stern "NO" though she stops and begins to eat properly again. The first time I said it to her in my stern/angry voice she almost burst into tears, I realised it was the first time I had ever spoken harshly towards her. Poor baby, but a hug and kiss let her know I wasn't angry with her.<br /><div></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmZVlDwAUCwO1gKrSoImX5m7URfVhzrTrBXlH5x3SmWFxcqou414HOyQ3rYT4sPGtCRuHkNfu_9a6y4F1Gc8Vr4KKx16szICXBveAWzPYHo5bzdLInGM-yj8h_bPK_f__6cd7l8z0lX1Y/s1600/novembermiddle+001.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmZVlDwAUCwO1gKrSoImX5m7URfVhzrTrBXlH5x3SmWFxcqou414HOyQ3rYT4sPGtCRuHkNfu_9a6y4F1Gc8Vr4KKx16szICXBveAWzPYHo5bzdLInGM-yj8h_bPK_f__6cd7l8z0lX1Y/s400/novembermiddle+001.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545091590323899698" /></a><br /><div></div><br />Buggito tries each day to figure out this crawling thing but its tough work so we haven't mastered it yet. That doesn't mean little Miss hasn't adapted ways of coping with her need to explore and limited mobility. She has learned to pull the tray of remotes on the coffee table towards herself to reach them after Mommy has put them out of reach. She has discovered how to get onto her belly gently from a sitting position, and when something is out of reach you can always try rolling sideways towards it. So it wont be long before Mommy and Daddy have to do a child proofing inventory of the house and the puppies will need to learn how to dodge allot faster.<br /><div></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgecb9z84xnKzi2K4aEnDi_yonFjjf5B9EjgW6o_v8qE_aafn9mwFtbDf435gt25ugPya3lVsE6Az2JdWjvEgffX9FlF1t7Je0sDoJ4geLGzrq3VHQD_nwF8lEldUx_n_q5BdA6QnFD9xA/s1600/first+xmastree+017.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgecb9z84xnKzi2K4aEnDi_yonFjjf5B9EjgW6o_v8qE_aafn9mwFtbDf435gt25ugPya3lVsE6Az2JdWjvEgffX9FlF1t7Je0sDoJ4geLGzrq3VHQD_nwF8lEldUx_n_q5BdA6QnFD9xA/s400/first+xmastree+017.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545092205957352034" /></a><br /><div></div><br />Yesterday morning we went to Daddy's Christmas party for the kids, Buggito was the youngest one there but that didn't stop her from being the best behaved one as well :). Seeing the look on all the kids faces when Santa showed up to give out presents was priceless! I thought Buggito would have been more interested in all the children and toddlers there but the silver spoon at the table got most of her attention. I wouldn't call her shy but she definitely doesn't give her smiles away too easily to strangers. She has even been nervous and clingy when I had a friend over to the house that she has seen a few times before. It took her about an hour to decide she liked her and to start to smile and play with her. <br /><div></div><br />As far as November goes that's pretty much it for the big news, baby is growing like a weed and our thoughts are geared towards Christmas :).pixiekissedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07712671746694912212noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8836504377718066384.post-75689391375350914692010-11-05T19:30:00.001-07:002010-11-09T08:37:14.269-08:00we cut our first tooth!!!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRvpQY3xkazgbZmW3bLR6StR0NszmKNX4k2m5QQtUAPPRmSHdnm6rlhnvJoMiyDwD5m3MnfYgPH7rT2MZztl_pE9zmuN5caAxwdAdpmsDcvEqVgoPr7Q6IXMLl_9upzTEtHJ2DWh3NCQ0/s1600/septoct2010+046.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRvpQY3xkazgbZmW3bLR6StR0NszmKNX4k2m5QQtUAPPRmSHdnm6rlhnvJoMiyDwD5m3MnfYgPH7rT2MZztl_pE9zmuN5caAxwdAdpmsDcvEqVgoPr7Q6IXMLl_9upzTEtHJ2DWh3NCQ0/s400/septoct2010+046.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5537589843194163330" /></a><br /><div></div><br />So the months of excessive drooling and chewing have finally paid off!!

A skill she managed to master by months end. Although she had made a few accidental turns in the past few months, October Buggito saw the light and discovered it was SHE that had the power and ability to make this happen. The result of which was pointless and gratuitous flipping over onto her stomach. October we got some good giggles still no belly laughs...I guess were not as funny as we thought. <br /><div></div><br />She is getting much better at standing up for longer periods of time holding only our fingers for support, She has also mastered the ability to pull herself up into a sitting position with our hands. She has even done a few "crunches" when she leans too far back into a pillow to get herself sitting up right again. Crawling mechanics are being experimented with, Buggito has learned how to move ever so slightly using the inch worm technique. I estimate by December she will be crawling all over the house...Look out Mushu and Foxy!!!<br /><div></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf1c2iZr_a0pynbW2y2ynh2yxCEON3pyyoKl9a3_gN50LEuYOBraAII_E_oaNs9VKtI2K6YWQDWziqcdmPx0s-rhxlea0D3Fp2KtpVyWcr87vcvWU7Q6KryakVpr8_UrdIDzxknnYZDn4/s1600/octendish+016.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf1c2iZr_a0pynbW2y2ynh2yxCEON3pyyoKl9a3_gN50LEuYOBraAII_E_oaNs9VKtI2K6YWQDWziqcdmPx0s-rhxlea0D3Fp2KtpVyWcr87vcvWU7Q6KryakVpr8_UrdIDzxknnYZDn4/s400/octendish+016.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536266224695849714" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcVK3mrM1dh5MuIyeSgA-5QO5bqjFsrQry7z3EZl4YUwNYi2c8sf_AXyFrVs3GqHowQIMQh6yjFy2LQQhvydFsai7S0Cicw8UP0rasz26Exuso23de-hSrAvLBH1WSP98AujJ1ewnhFkU/s1600/october2010+040.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcVK3mrM1dh5MuIyeSgA-5QO5bqjFsrQry7z3EZl4YUwNYi2c8sf_AXyFrVs3GqHowQIMQh6yjFy2LQQhvydFsai7S0Cicw8UP0rasz26Exuso23de-hSrAvLBH1WSP98AujJ1ewnhFkU/s400/october2010+040.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536266615756939826" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyPJLshmv_ZASoxC3QabiJRlRb6uyWZbpit2OGLAh6z5BcSol0jTgX2MqLX_TruwmgJLJHp2lapvoq4_9CGhvlSjKXBhwla5sBg2707OskKfElYZ7kZIPHoVY7aG8TLUJ71JPwH9Q972k/s1600/stuff+009.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyPJLshmv_ZASoxC3QabiJRlRb6uyWZbpit2OGLAh6z5BcSol0jTgX2MqLX_TruwmgJLJHp2lapvoq4_9CGhvlSjKXBhwla5sBg2707OskKfElYZ7kZIPHoVY7aG8TLUJ71JPwH9Q972k/s400/stuff+009.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536266624512859090" /></a><br /><div></div><br />October was also interesting as it was the first time I got to play single parent, Daddy went to Saskatchewan for 10 days leaving me and baby behind. I was a bit nervous at first because after a long day of taking care of baby its nice sometimes to pass her off and get a break. With Chris gone I really didn't have anyone to tag me out. But the time went by fine enough, the baby was really good while he was gone. We only had one bad day but a bath and a nap managed to restore both baby and me to our easy going selves. I was also able to rearrange the living room and finish knitting the babies Oilers sweater while he was gone.<br /><div></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdgTgOoj8TP3ud3zX7V8M9PlB_ya5CQmPhZa9aVNMHVhqIj1VpCVHvT1nCBdnMx4GKNwF5istbwxqnVhz1unliV6c_1ezUGVmMVaz7JIL_gT-JUDKGpDz8mzkCSlMjPAa9aOcr2giTeaU/s1600/cuteness!+031.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdgTgOoj8TP3ud3zX7V8M9PlB_ya5CQmPhZa9aVNMHVhqIj1VpCVHvT1nCBdnMx4GKNwF5istbwxqnVhz1unliV6c_1ezUGVmMVaz7JIL_gT-JUDKGpDz8mzkCSlMjPAa9aOcr2giTeaU/s400/cuteness!+031.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536266211008493426" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWcodrp2FcOLQ1DXQhjta5jCFGy5Iorz6rT_pefzYjoiDTzwPR3ZwLwSzPaUumjxK9zKOC5IUoxao_dr1Yy3OS-0k5YzKaAR0JHMZVnsk5fBw5wTkY4BtP5ymMj_ThrenkNAmR8VhSua8/s1600/stuff+039.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWcodrp2FcOLQ1DXQhjta5jCFGy5Iorz6rT_pefzYjoiDTzwPR3ZwLwSzPaUumjxK9zKOC5IUoxao_dr1Yy3OS-0k5YzKaAR0JHMZVnsk5fBw5wTkY4BtP5ymMj_ThrenkNAmR8VhSua8/s400/stuff+039.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536266634712805378" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br />Buggito has now decided her waking moments are best spent exploring/experimenting with her toys rather than just snuggling with mom and dad and passively watching the world. Daddy bought her the Toy Story 3 talking phone and a colorful Ring Stacker which are currently the bees knees in my house. Looking at them reminds me of the good old days where I vowed I would not have a home cluttered with primary colored plastic toys!. In my defense though <em>I</em> wasn't the one who brought them into the house. Sometimes Daddy's have to do things their way too.<br /><div></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYUKTNn8EiIRxlxWds2KYm4HiDPmpSNOwT0o9pmHbNfcy8sO2tOyqEBk1iYdEWmfUXxK2MGHTDIm_HdJsVUS510ggGqBYHohCpIzIosvSNfkbheBmYOi1W1DJsK-eUpK9mQaK8qNvrhrs/s1600/october2010+055.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYUKTNn8EiIRxlxWds2KYm4HiDPmpSNOwT0o9pmHbNfcy8sO2tOyqEBk1iYdEWmfUXxK2MGHTDIm_HdJsVUS510ggGqBYHohCpIzIosvSNfkbheBmYOi1W1DJsK-eUpK9mQaK8qNvrhrs/s400/october2010+055.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536266618952290194" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiln7VXZq-2mV94v_gv5BWnyMkWQo_PuCFSViedWrpDObMS0XHaz7R6DV8W0AtwjC03BfIsfn2I-6zbMMPcvst09YXx8Tc0Hff2QzqptkOMgZcogupCtlzXyHqXyfvENESax4303yKE55Y/s1600/october2010+018.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiln7VXZq-2mV94v_gv5BWnyMkWQo_PuCFSViedWrpDObMS0XHaz7R6DV8W0AtwjC03BfIsfn2I-6zbMMPcvst09YXx8Tc0Hff2QzqptkOMgZcogupCtlzXyHqXyfvENESax4303yKE55Y/s400/october2010+018.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536266228322590098" /></a><br /><div></div><br />Its hard to believe that a little over 5 months ago this little person was just a squirmy bump inside my belly. Each day we get to see a bit more of her personality as she begins to express herself more vocally and physically. She is generally a pretty laid back baby, full of smiles and loves to cuddle. She is shy with strangers at first but after a bit of coaxing is happy to share her smiles with the public. She is generally patient and doesn't mind waiting a few minutes on a diaper change or a feeding but once she has reached her limit she has no problem letting you know. She is not big on crying and will use it as a last resort preferring to make whine/fuss noises or to yell angry babble at us first :). <br /><div></div><br />The last exciting milestone for Baby was her first Halloween, I still have to book our family portraits and will post them once done. For Halloween baby wore her Dragon suit and went trick or treating with Daddy, they hit 4 neighbourhood houses and stayed to visit at each for at least 15 minutes or so. She even went to visit a set of neighbours who are related to the family who used to own this house, they gave her a toonie in her bucket because that's what the older man who lived here used to give the kids. Her little loot bucket was full despite us telling people she didn't need any treats this year. Next years trick or treating should be lots of fun as she will be able to walk to each house and understand whats going on a bit better. <br /><div></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvyMRPzJIJZaN_QKBC_LZN7gTNC10wpAqX5QoCjnyduj7GA7ubpvYwHHosOKdChEsWWUH4VrR28IahwNAixqIBR9qsbypw7VSNEjgEI0vCEd3w_Bzq4APkM2cL7QP9vGRUW_ojGqYnank/s1600/october2010+024.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvyMRPzJIJZaN_QKBC_LZN7gTNC10wpAqX5QoCjnyduj7GA7ubpvYwHHosOKdChEsWWUH4VrR28IahwNAixqIBR9qsbypw7VSNEjgEI0vCEd3w_Bzq4APkM2cL7QP9vGRUW_ojGqYnank/s400/october2010+024.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536266238659446242" /></a><br /><div></div><br />That is pretty much October in a nutshell! <br /><div></div>pixiekissedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07712671746694912212noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8836504377718066384.post-68853624552142690542010-09-29T07:13:00.000-07:002010-10-04T13:05:32.339-07:00September update!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinS55_SZ_zyiqZQ-enWl7pt-WPzCZFFbN27ogj7C4eGWJXQQNQ9a040ucsQaYZxIaauLBRtrEKoxt_a5BQRK8Q1u068egVC-5xxJ62BBDdHWEosnkmq9N_Bi0cR6hQSVeiO8rEVYPh_3Y/s1600/cuteness+003.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinS55_SZ_zyiqZQ-enWl7pt-WPzCZFFbN27ogj7C4eGWJXQQNQ9a040ucsQaYZxIaauLBRtrEKoxt_a5BQRK8Q1u068egVC-5xxJ62BBDdHWEosnkmq9N_Bi0cR6hQSVeiO8rEVYPh_3Y/s400/cuteness+003.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5523856452672673442" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyQTGnTJPkmvGIPyvCYnBA5DdJN0xy1i9oztJocAKgOUf6IJdiV33zKAzhK6wFPN7U4ebHWHwMA5fXmt51B5Ml-PeVhbDEdBtq6InGPJTSXJFs8RmnWaQYi1bKNoYaWEuqSiNXjJts4TY/s1600/more+arweniegoodness+062.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyQTGnTJPkmvGIPyvCYnBA5DdJN0xy1i9oztJocAKgOUf6IJdiV33zKAzhK6wFPN7U4ebHWHwMA5fXmt51B5Ml-PeVhbDEdBtq6InGPJTSXJFs8RmnWaQYi1bKNoYaWEuqSiNXjJts4TY/s400/more+arweniegoodness+062.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5523856432960692914" /></a><br /><div></div><br />What to say about the month of September? September has been filled with lots of changes for Buggito. She has just had her 4 month immunization, today's doctor visit has her weighing 17 lbs and 8 ounces, she is 69 cm long/tall, still in the 98th percentile for growth. Chris and I stopped off for some McDonald's the other day and another baby was fascinated by Buggito. It turns out this baby was a year old and she was only slightly bigger than Buggito is now. She is wearing her 6-9 month size sleepers now so I have been slowly adding some bigger size outfits to her wardrobe so she wont be naked by the time she outgrows her current clothes. <br /><div></div><br /> I also had to retire her swing as she is too heavy for it to swing properly any longer, and we had a minor scare. I had put her in her swing to finnish doing up dishes and I heard her going "HEEEEEEY______HEEEEEEEY", as she normally makes a bit of a peep I just talked over my shoulder telling her "momma will be right there". I finnished putting down what I was doing and turned to check up on her and she was halfway out of the swing. Her legs and Butt were hanging over the edge and her little torso and head were still inside. I ran acrossed the room and scooped her up no worse for wear, I on the otherhand almost had a heart attack!.<br /><div></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVxxghyphenhyphenmhD1vaz88qz3vCOQbTpc-IKshIln0mFhCYneUPjSBUO0wLB8RHvbTcpzkG1pt1Z8gPnvDWrJgEfgIQJsgVOZyxU15EHKEEIghYyvAjiRbgoOcFC6lw-ntbdq2EXRbZVl-Oy4-E/s1600/il_fullxfull_71254872.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 392px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVxxghyphenhyphenmhD1vaz88qz3vCOQbTpc-IKshIln0mFhCYneUPjSBUO0wLB8RHvbTcpzkG1pt1Z8gPnvDWrJgEfgIQJsgVOZyxU15EHKEEIghYyvAjiRbgoOcFC6lw-ntbdq2EXRbZVl-Oy4-E/s400/il_fullxfull_71254872.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5523846905853647970" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUqVtsy6vs8Bav9eWb6zRIC_ZPnimgK5Mun9ZVNyFRpljwg88olASxzCwHQjyV14upfZHSPxX_26AU0qNUEqtKh6kxThRvCOMiKcVVtz_yBi85rrulF2jjkWXxuvyaShKCQ-V7iOzub70/s1600/8474.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUqVtsy6vs8Bav9eWb6zRIC_ZPnimgK5Mun9ZVNyFRpljwg88olASxzCwHQjyV14upfZHSPxX_26AU0qNUEqtKh6kxThRvCOMiKcVVtz_yBi85rrulF2jjkWXxuvyaShKCQ-V7iOzub70/s400/8474.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5523846915548217314" /></a><br /><div></div><br />Buggito enjoys screaming and screeching for fun, babbling on the phone to my mom and growling at Daddy and me!. She has also become much more interested in her surroundings and her toys, she really likes her Fisher Price happy apple and her frog clip on toy. She is enjoying her baby Einstein activity center and she really loves being read to. Her two favourite books right now are "Baby boo" and "oh baby, go baby". She loves standing with assistance, as soon as you get her up she usually puffs her little chest out and makes the excited/ proud face sometimes accompanied by a roar of triumph. Another activity baby enjoys now is shopping with momma :), she loves being in her sling and looking through the stores at the mall with me. <br /><div></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDKtsQ_ffLA5i66JDK_ba9s5M_s1yllcpqLucFcl0F_qqDk-ZhM1WW6C05_3JccWxDoWiokI5LSMQ73oMeatCP4QEjHs6uMWhnW0vXVjRAcBrKzZcb3dQQ5xXEGrH4asVyAuw7uY27Rgo/s1600/baby+beginning+sept+012.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDKtsQ_ffLA5i66JDK_ba9s5M_s1yllcpqLucFcl0F_qqDk-ZhM1WW6C05_3JccWxDoWiokI5LSMQ73oMeatCP4QEjHs6uMWhnW0vXVjRAcBrKzZcb3dQQ5xXEGrH4asVyAuw7uY27Rgo/s400/baby+beginning+sept+012.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5523856447031955666" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEignvv3jd21zzKKhf3jAaOKZIU3N_NcqcN0V8Sb7YwbZC8ZhXDosLjb24MvEz0TcRnu5zhdUt4fOznUQcKOekxE8i47-jeSeOe6gWpjAt_zQDZKjRbhkOeLKObSYImMKWJ0VIlRAnGYUaI/s1600/518wNY-AF7L__SL500_AA300_.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEignvv3jd21zzKKhf3jAaOKZIU3N_NcqcN0V8Sb7YwbZC8ZhXDosLjb24MvEz0TcRnu5zhdUt4fOznUQcKOekxE8i47-jeSeOe6gWpjAt_zQDZKjRbhkOeLKObSYImMKWJ0VIlRAnGYUaI/s400/518wNY-AF7L__SL500_AA300_.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5523846908288907554" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdR0dljAm4ZTGcNOykG8jtl6fhZStUr5zysYfpEn6pL-Gj__VGwEQWZkuR3kGz7SobD7PbXisQE9ulTHPPG3xhEYlpj1kUcq-EfetY_4YpsKPP6jT7dXjybX-B3J345G_YUi10GhMX4Nk/s1600/Baby-Boo.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 350px; height: 350px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdR0dljAm4ZTGcNOykG8jtl6fhZStUr5zysYfpEn6pL-Gj__VGwEQWZkuR3kGz7SobD7PbXisQE9ulTHPPG3xhEYlpj1kUcq-EfetY_4YpsKPP6jT7dXjybX-B3J345G_YUi10GhMX4Nk/s400/Baby-Boo.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5523846910933706962" /></a><br /><div></div><br />The down side to having a baby that loves the world around her is now she has deemed naps to be the enemy. She is so afraid of missing something exciting any hint of a nap and she begins to cry, fuss and shout. Its gotten to the point her once favourite lullaby "pure imagination" now causes her to cry because she knows it puts her to sleep. I have to either trick her into sleeping by casually reclining her while I bounce on the yoga ball or force her into a laying position and put up with her struggling and whining for the five minutes of fighting she puts up before latching on to nurse then sleep.<br /><div></div><br />I wish I could say there was allot of excitement going on here for September but it has been pretty dull, just trying to get used to Buggito's new preferences and schedule. It seems just when you get comfortable in your routine she decides to change it up on you. Im hoping I am able to finnish my Halloween costumes on time for a family Halloween photo, I have started my costume but baby's new need for entertainment and stimulation have forced me to work in the small alloted nap periods. Thats pretty much September in a nutshell!<br /><div></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWSG5Bgl99CeePd3TDfuCs-gj_UFTpBzeXpWHJgZmKIzD9QARVKplaLM6AmCZLiJSF9vvg4qWoE6A89qJl6mLQ3WdOGlsw13YoP1yHWTKs0Ola_E9lrKWbvresWr94l6mC2V1o71Fyg2k/s1600/cuteness+036.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWSG5Bgl99CeePd3TDfuCs-gj_UFTpBzeXpWHJgZmKIzD9QARVKplaLM6AmCZLiJSF9vvg4qWoE6A89qJl6mLQ3WdOGlsw13YoP1yHWTKs0Ola_E9lrKWbvresWr94l6mC2V1o71Fyg2k/s400/cuteness+036.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5523856445669287970" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHx65ohNJV3ofGbH4fnizTvNB9ty6fhcnxrhxeIC4I7K7OTsQxHNzLEqSaeAh-QloyjIY65FJWlIaXsh8k7gUfarJ8lsAvTQQvw96pcTS0xbkVE2DJ7s0q6jBSyean21qvVI8s-VM1XmU/s1600/cuteness+027.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHx65ohNJV3ofGbH4fnizTvNB9ty6fhcnxrhxeIC4I7K7OTsQxHNzLEqSaeAh-QloyjIY65FJWlIaXsh8k7gUfarJ8lsAvTQQvw96pcTS0xbkVE2DJ7s0q6jBSyean21qvVI8s-VM1XmU/s400/cuteness+027.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5523856436218641666" /></a>pixiekissedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07712671746694912212noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8836504377718066384.post-59542480290551433222010-08-28T15:25:00.000-07:002010-09-05T17:51:27.347-07:00Santa Claus<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwDXIDy35zPNPrjyLSP1NauKLlxfWc2VNJyE74nTceJRaPKxg7cS85MiD3zsNpUDZci_-_4bCkk0xZhwegvlngPURZyhzFUXGfokm_if2q2eJKe0z7cuQLMoe519XySyNLSB_2bpXqS-g/s1600/353caea40dadcd3dd977f64f7264a094.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 371px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwDXIDy35zPNPrjyLSP1NauKLlxfWc2VNJyE74nTceJRaPKxg7cS85MiD3zsNpUDZci_-_4bCkk0xZhwegvlngPURZyhzFUXGfokm_if2q2eJKe0z7cuQLMoe519XySyNLSB_2bpXqS-g/s400/353caea40dadcd3dd977f64f7264a094.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5510590959825164162" /></a><br /><div></div><br />I have it on good authority from Santa Claus that Buggito should be getting a Melissa and Doug piano for Christmas as her Big present. <br /><div></div><br />Speaking of Santa Claus, Mommy already picked up our Christmas outfit to wear for Mall Santa photo's this year, a cute little knit dress with stockings and a little Scottie dog over coat. I'm very excited, As it has been Chris and I for the last few Christmas's we have not really done anything big or special. As its the babies first Christmas it will be the first year we get a tree to decorate. Also exciting, Carlton cards is getting babies first Christmas ornaments with little carousel unicorns and teddy bears!. This is whats on my mind lately, planning a good Christmas for the baby.<br /><div></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6OmPUzXlXk-KGqqHfQD2RUpvg9YuCZ21VxkxeEA0ClPqTprTi0o33VeRWDedY9u_KIVA6_gqn165IZun87oF0Bb6Q1agApwAuL6JHtN-QwDFMFO4JCXv3F2LGvW89ppjDtq3UxdGhobo/s1600/end+of+august+043.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6OmPUzXlXk-KGqqHfQD2RUpvg9YuCZ21VxkxeEA0ClPqTprTi0o33VeRWDedY9u_KIVA6_gqn165IZun87oF0Bb6Q1agApwAuL6JHtN-QwDFMFO4JCXv3F2LGvW89ppjDtq3UxdGhobo/s400/end+of+august+043.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513595989961034258" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzcw45NcvEIQVbizqlOFRylJHpp2qZmrYuA58JXr7ijYSwzIGWcalmTwI-rTH5h2fec9cHDyCwpp3327j37A0472Jid8RTeIw5Sf2hWlNHFxwORXpaoGXKoCOaKCheuDc47wMtYEabrz8/s1600/end+of+august+041.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzcw45NcvEIQVbizqlOFRylJHpp2qZmrYuA58JXr7ijYSwzIGWcalmTwI-rTH5h2fec9cHDyCwpp3327j37A0472Jid8RTeIw5Sf2hWlNHFxwORXpaoGXKoCOaKCheuDc47wMtYEabrz8/s400/end+of+august+041.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513595972762719154" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div></div>pixiekissedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07712671746694912212noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8836504377718066384.post-80998229757422601872010-08-18T08:43:00.000-07:002010-08-18T09:16:35.103-07:00mama baby photo's.<div></div><br />While playing around with the camera the other day I was finally able to get some pictures of me with the baby that I really like.

She will go from crying/ screaming to calming right down when I hold her then she will look up at me and just yell babble at me. Even when she hasn't worked herself into a frenzy she is sure to interrupt herself breastfeeding to shout some babble at me for taking to long to feed her. Its pretty funny, my mom even heard her yelling babble at me when I was on the phone to her. She is still a good baby sleeping well and the crying spells are few and far between but she is developing a little bit of baby attitude. <br /><div></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrkUoC13ER0PkoyDo87zmGwuehEN9874snD7Esdmi8C0RE_gQhT_xfZ6jmkmWHJoGxJopHEYVMMgCIeWGplKSRgBnJVrKVxrucELLPafDA0cw4hnXWcF3npNIlm5Z0vTzo6Yhio0XPOgo/s1600/babygirl+029.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrkUoC13ER0PkoyDo87zmGwuehEN9874snD7Esdmi8C0RE_gQhT_xfZ6jmkmWHJoGxJopHEYVMMgCIeWGplKSRgBnJVrKVxrucELLPafDA0cw4hnXWcF3npNIlm5Z0vTzo6Yhio0XPOgo/s400/babygirl+029.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502935249485284642" /></a><br /><div></div><br />Buggito has discovered her hands are fun to watch these days, I catch her rubbing them together in front of her eyes like a mad scientist and it makes me laugh. She has also started to notice the dogs a bit more than she did before which is pretty cute!. Her drooling started to pick up again and she really enjoys her Razberry teething pacifier, but her moods despite the teething have been pretty good. I took her to the doctor the other day to double check her ears as she had allot of wax in one but the doctor said she was healthy so that was good. She REALLY hates her vitamin d drops, she makes faces and fights getting them and a few times she has decided the best course of action is to projectile vomit them and about 4 ounces of milk on me when I finnish giving them to her.

Other than that not too much new to report, I am pondering what Santa will bring this year and thinking of picking up two part time days at work this September to ensure Buggito has an awesome first Christmas.<br /><div></div>pixiekissedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07712671746694912212noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8836504377718066384.post-62482068128785323302010-08-02T10:24:00.000-07:002010-08-07T23:56:31.960-07:00Doll time!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWLxITxGJsWED6dP85hoHy1KnFWX_uXZl3eZmvcPwXS1-y_x3JcrFIdNpoGWG5FQN1IS_lamOvHVgFG3W7ZZfRcPLspoNBM2ho7cmZTBOaDyzFZdM3TSzcY0PM4flOAXOa9buZ0POQOVo/s1600/Disney-Fairies-disney-fairies-2426803-1024-768.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWLxITxGJsWED6dP85hoHy1KnFWX_uXZl3eZmvcPwXS1-y_x3JcrFIdNpoGWG5FQN1IS_lamOvHVgFG3W7ZZfRcPLspoNBM2ho7cmZTBOaDyzFZdM3TSzcY0PM4flOAXOa9buZ0POQOVo/s400/Disney-Fairies-disney-fairies-2426803-1024-768.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502924437633393730" /></a><br /><div></div><br />Since I discovered the Disney Fairies books a few years ago when working at a bookstore in Saskatoon I have begun to collect them, All with the hopes one day I would have a little girl to read them to.

I thought I would have to cancel because she clawed her face up the day before, but the scratches faded pretty good by today so we went. She looked beautiful, unfortunately she wasted all her smiles before the camera was ready but they still turned out great. Next time we go will probably be Halloween as a family (borrowing a friends family tradition of family photos in costume). Im thinking I may just save up for a better camera this year and try making a studio at home, by the time you go a few times a year the cost of a new camera and some equipment works out to about even. Anyhow here are the pictures, my physical copies of the photos will be here by mid August and then mailed out to family and friends. <br /><div></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCY7ZDKl-Rp9VG37WmdjWM7am168cBwDrKS-0Zmb89nGjXW6swEEMyoAC9NUGWWq1EfT25Jlx-xRV5f9fr9kIcb5FwrMCQsHITkrObP90JsKJoveMXGjzyDRzUgL2tl7P9-YaWASnRTUA/s1600/P23101TA202817_l_12.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 286px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCY7ZDKl-Rp9VG37WmdjWM7am168cBwDrKS-0Zmb89nGjXW6swEEMyoAC9NUGWWq1EfT25Jlx-xRV5f9fr9kIcb5FwrMCQsHITkrObP90JsKJoveMXGjzyDRzUgL2tl7P9-YaWASnRTUA/s400/P23101TA202817_l_12.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499886844696968786" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSM5-FnmU2ezD6m1wh0XDxZOeIB20hcOH303MdKHWu5yHhbSEWE6JQohd-k9r6fLF50D6xnK0a5Ldn74gPagjgWrmJjSd9-BrCCQZ7i1nnkQmV3yVFTjY0nwd3pH7FnN4QbLj0uHCsC1I/s1600/P23101TA202817_l_8.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 286px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSM5-FnmU2ezD6m1wh0XDxZOeIB20hcOH303MdKHWu5yHhbSEWE6JQohd-k9r6fLF50D6xnK0a5Ldn74gPagjgWrmJjSd9-BrCCQZ7i1nnkQmV3yVFTjY0nwd3pH7FnN4QbLj0uHCsC1I/s400/P23101TA202817_l_8.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499886409037155938" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid4t7Un7pEI7VMEGYqwcafmizbNXZtjB4Unjq6Rhm40pSHZT1UMolcK6priaWs2dc9vK58ljv8d9R5MM5yghKcQ6HdjcLZkfE06sP8UwxVeajBMpvWdBPV9kmW9i405MNMkunMG_nTnPs/s1600/P23101TA202817_l_7.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 286px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid4t7Un7pEI7VMEGYqwcafmizbNXZtjB4Unjq6Rhm40pSHZT1UMolcK6priaWs2dc9vK58ljv8d9R5MM5yghKcQ6HdjcLZkfE06sP8UwxVeajBMpvWdBPV9kmW9i405MNMkunMG_nTnPs/s400/P23101TA202817_l_7.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499886403157950690" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuurCREQoPblr1zFrDZfdKFtiX_H8P6JHIyml1huJjOKdOHb3FzI0I4ODrk_xNxKXBbkckIkBWrm9dpR2EaNrYp47j8XBT9bc8YpAAegbHDFvNrsBU-YWW9QKrjBC7utRDX8dvw8xqbLg/s1600/P23101TA202817_l_3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 280px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuurCREQoPblr1zFrDZfdKFtiX_H8P6JHIyml1huJjOKdOHb3FzI0I4ODrk_xNxKXBbkckIkBWrm9dpR2EaNrYp47j8XBT9bc8YpAAegbHDFvNrsBU-YWW9QKrjBC7utRDX8dvw8xqbLg/s400/P23101TA202817_l_3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499886399813208658" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDKT2XOQWOEZHR9_fzk5c0QBLzClRzoIvviekpHe6_3qQMGpMnB8x3qLr-wdNWO_3_Ofe71A8EIS6naEOB9E6V0lckzwXpWeB_Twz3DNvERKiVkjrg7bVWWe1N0TFjd2wDFJW5qThijWw/s1600/P23101TA202817_l_6.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 286px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDKT2XOQWOEZHR9_fzk5c0QBLzClRzoIvviekpHe6_3qQMGpMnB8x3qLr-wdNWO_3_Ofe71A8EIS6naEOB9E6V0lckzwXpWeB_Twz3DNvERKiVkjrg7bVWWe1N0TFjd2wDFJW5qThijWw/s400/P23101TA202817_l_6.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499886391715853186" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJRYqgm0jyoiBtleOnz6wV29dDEdJJaWQtoWAS-73sn-M2TbESU75UianUmEbZDmvkutEpjpgcdnAkBO0klLSTHTe5NOeXUlZ97lCrltSqLUfjV5niqrHWSOK6r7OAW9g7MYNml0QXlzk/s1600/P23101TA202817_l_5.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 286px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJRYqgm0jyoiBtleOnz6wV29dDEdJJaWQtoWAS-73sn-M2TbESU75UianUmEbZDmvkutEpjpgcdnAkBO0klLSTHTe5NOeXUlZ97lCrltSqLUfjV5niqrHWSOK6r7OAW9g7MYNml0QXlzk/s400/P23101TA202817_l_5.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499886387346940834" /></a><br /><div></div>pixiekissedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07712671746694912212noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8836504377718066384.post-53581923690672622382010-07-27T13:13:00.000-07:002010-07-27T14:18:19.783-07:00Spoiled Spoiled baby!<div></div><br />A few more gifts arrived this past week for little Miss. Buggito, as well as a few small things from Mommy. This is one SPOILED baby!. The first package arrived from some family friends in Saskatchewan, Chuck and Barb, it contained some adorable little outfits for the baby. They look to be from the same collection as the little outfits my Aunt Debbie sent BUT they are all different! They are so classy I love them! and cant wait to get some pictures of baby wearing them!.<br /><div></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoaeIqubLrc7rbwUVMb54y2zw2ErTrWgaJ-0PBn13bl0uSz3X_bFrxKhvFT__-EJqShwG-ttfAp02Ym3tGgmP2zO-wyL5mIkrlegWZ1-U9gn13ZrotqD1wPqdqlLYgZHvcZGxdwV0R3yA/s1600/mid+july+arwen+041.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoaeIqubLrc7rbwUVMb54y2zw2ErTrWgaJ-0PBn13bl0uSz3X_bFrxKhvFT__-EJqShwG-ttfAp02Ym3tGgmP2zO-wyL5mIkrlegWZ1-U9gn13ZrotqD1wPqdqlLYgZHvcZGxdwV0R3yA/s400/mid+july+arwen+041.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498687454197948690" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5ef_4wDK7odQY4pQW4FbGYC2mZmiZoAlhI2FuRctjpeo0eFPXYI2RkxdGwOqcgFEijEck25D8flAEtPgwtceCz-_j8P8SI89qX7cJyklIWWmR-yhJ3m5hNiAa7rJecxp5EfY4M7MZyow/s1600/mid+july+arwen+040.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5ef_4wDK7odQY4pQW4FbGYC2mZmiZoAlhI2FuRctjpeo0eFPXYI2RkxdGwOqcgFEijEck25D8flAEtPgwtceCz-_j8P8SI89qX7cJyklIWWmR-yhJ3m5hNiAa7rJecxp5EfY4M7MZyow/s400/mid+july+arwen+040.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498687446317153154" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz_dugQITZNyCHMsUt2yUT5GOowacKNnx5pRzBceP5dPVk5gGtDVEs8hb1J4itsygLX-KHZbSrvxFxaQ7XIwQuI9tBFTvBI1HHB59l4TG4aZEIaGPMJGOKA_TFUzdaDO37ZVdrkKBkgxo/s1600/mid+july+arwen+039.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz_dugQITZNyCHMsUt2yUT5GOowacKNnx5pRzBceP5dPVk5gGtDVEs8hb1J4itsygLX-KHZbSrvxFxaQ7XIwQuI9tBFTvBI1HHB59l4TG4aZEIaGPMJGOKA_TFUzdaDO37ZVdrkKBkgxo/s400/mid+july+arwen+039.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498687438130933810" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7j_nU-wWdqc_ijs3fQ9SQTxUCfkCtTmeeDp3jSfYFcVCsLiu6EaziNqkcIYNnEdLQDWb__A3CgSrIs2oOtdLxqcbGs1hS6epkEIUv0Nl-iufeDa0MDhpsCFvFL-vaRJT75Jx4W3cRNj0/s1600/mid+july+arwen+038.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7j_nU-wWdqc_ijs3fQ9SQTxUCfkCtTmeeDp3jSfYFcVCsLiu6EaziNqkcIYNnEdLQDWb__A3CgSrIs2oOtdLxqcbGs1hS6epkEIUv0Nl-iufeDa0MDhpsCFvFL-vaRJT75Jx4W3cRNj0/s400/mid+july+arwen+038.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498687424965767154" /></a><br /><div></div><br />The next little outfit was given to us from my friend Emily and her Mom while we were visiting her house last week.

She just loves watching our dogs and has one of her own, shes also the only neighbour I think I have spoken too. She seems nice and it was a very nice surprise!.<br /><div></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjimtNro1lbIz86ys5cG9eaQE2i9drgMsanEEAK-oCS_-Ji-pmpXjOFr6tiHJMMjr3RJLvv1XHc_uXHwwPwWfDyvyGJoyUapLLMOIHCLGjZBnrS05ou7AVmKKJCfOs0snMzW8kOo5oTPjM/s1600/morearwenjuly+001.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjimtNro1lbIz86ys5cG9eaQE2i9drgMsanEEAK-oCS_-Ji-pmpXjOFr6tiHJMMjr3RJLvv1XHc_uXHwwPwWfDyvyGJoyUapLLMOIHCLGjZBnrS05ou7AVmKKJCfOs0snMzW8kOo5oTPjM/s400/morearwenjuly+001.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498691283549174258" /></a><br /><div></div><br />Yesterday the postman left a big box at our back door, I assumed it was a package my Mom had said she mailed out, BUT it was another surprise from my friend Karen in Saskatoon!. We opened the box to find a sweet stuffed kitten (that Mushu very much wanted to grab for herself) and even better still a HUGE homemade blanket. WOW Karen!!! did you knit that yourself!!! Its beautiful!!!. It would take me 5 years to knit a blanket that size at the speed I knit! We love it, Buggito and I have already been snuggling up to it on the sofa!<br /><div></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGI2y2MPJ4Bb625v4wGzhOHbn58SclW3Wua0vNn_fOtf-FrymU-UmraySZa8EBG3HCqptcGq8K1EzVq7ZgIevkGcpz8bMwT2FmubtPnNKwDn-eql1_pSQ5Wm-At7VM2ObRFQ0cKw8vERQ/s1600/morearwenjuly+002.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGI2y2MPJ4Bb625v4wGzhOHbn58SclW3Wua0vNn_fOtf-FrymU-UmraySZa8EBG3HCqptcGq8K1EzVq7ZgIevkGcpz8bMwT2FmubtPnNKwDn-eql1_pSQ5Wm-At7VM2ObRFQ0cKw8vERQ/s400/morearwenjuly+002.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498693013693305410" /></a><br /><div></div><br />Thank you SO much everyone for the sweet baby gifts! they are appreciated beyond belief!. All the generosity from family and friends has really made Chris and I realise how blessed we are to know such great people in life. Not every family is as lucky to have such a great support group of people to help out with their babies and trust me every gift given is something that does help out!. I think of all the single mothers out there or couples faced with unplanned pregnancies that receive no love and support and it really is humbling to have so much!. So thank you again everyone!!!!.<br /><div></div><br />Last but not least Mama couldn't help but spoil baby girl a tiny bit this week either. As Buggito is beginning to outgrow her baby swing I felt a pang of sadness that she would have to lose her Jeremy fisher mobile that she enjoys talking to each day. Then I remembered the baby boutique downtown had some Beatrix Potter stuffed toys so I went down and found her a Jeremy Fisher doll. So now she will still have him to babble at once her swing is gone. I also bought her a little hair band for her photos. At Walmart I couldn't help but nab her a Tinkerbell outfit for this fall and I found one small fleece dress with the cutest little mushroom men on it at Value Village for her. <br /><div></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK7mx2lhW8mjW0r2hgFs9wzEGlgp5VvAlNz80uSiC2Bz6kGO9t0TSYqMdQJ57aGhgcYWvaNpVQ9wzkqls4vFpDLBXrJGDbApzS7QFO6fPIV54qC4_YpK6oc-pNaEeRXCr9n5Swl-Xslrw/s1600/mid+july+arwen+033.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK7mx2lhW8mjW0r2hgFs9wzEGlgp5VvAlNz80uSiC2Bz6kGO9t0TSYqMdQJ57aGhgcYWvaNpVQ9wzkqls4vFpDLBXrJGDbApzS7QFO6fPIV54qC4_YpK6oc-pNaEeRXCr9n5Swl-Xslrw/s400/mid+july+arwen+033.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498697224212957810" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3V4BvHVk6aelRHYS7lIEOk1cpcNxtLjizH6babZuKB-qnwiWXLdywlqElgvvWWXSFQP1B2tj_S_tRboeDDwhCo62lOLnYGh5jW7D5DdvQdjjgyoIIU7q3u6bCRnczWE-53EC9eyEA28U/s1600/mid+july+arwen+034.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3V4BvHVk6aelRHYS7lIEOk1cpcNxtLjizH6babZuKB-qnwiWXLdywlqElgvvWWXSFQP1B2tj_S_tRboeDDwhCo62lOLnYGh5jW7D5DdvQdjjgyoIIU7q3u6bCRnczWE-53EC9eyEA28U/s400/mid+july+arwen+034.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498697227019708402" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIC1aSXdfsZj7My5ltFAMckR-QHz6CJq5NNbTrJwps7Pgni3vSPOtHgazrqT0fKCyRWOINDJMhopn3IMjQrVLDTl7IlBnOI9PLpgBZ_uveJ2baV60YtoxpDW4UJAsCNI-n8cWkfnPq1dY/s1600/mid+july+arwen+031.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIC1aSXdfsZj7My5ltFAMckR-QHz6CJq5NNbTrJwps7Pgni3vSPOtHgazrqT0fKCyRWOINDJMhopn3IMjQrVLDTl7IlBnOI9PLpgBZ_uveJ2baV60YtoxpDW4UJAsCNI-n8cWkfnPq1dY/s400/mid+july+arwen+031.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498697249366337458" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-ZZMcHqzAmBSbgBgcFOuxQq-ZCDO-ltGx6wVYFslM9gN5IZWGv25tvWf9IrXMTEaYRbiddxSKC1AauQRgrR7xdhOZ_8jdVTGOvLzJdTYbLyADs-zUmORl-7Xz7i9RWSJzkVNPrMDC5Eg/s1600/mid+july+arwen+030.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-ZZMcHqzAmBSbgBgcFOuxQq-ZCDO-ltGx6wVYFslM9gN5IZWGv25tvWf9IrXMTEaYRbiddxSKC1AauQRgrR7xdhOZ_8jdVTGOvLzJdTYbLyADs-zUmORl-7Xz7i9RWSJzkVNPrMDC5Eg/s400/mid+july+arwen+030.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498697234748030754" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div>pixiekissedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07712671746694912212noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8836504377718066384.post-19263597569681644702010-07-25T20:50:00.000-07:002010-07-27T13:38:34.599-07:00the recent scoop!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6CyixdHmNRmcCbuDg67-icv3xJx1lwdRNYmtGt7SyQhLGEZ2TIoGJ4W1fVk6o4XZez8YrwRmy9_gTCjrKHIeWSbEFNSdL7jBTVi9upMiB6y-pCD1LkvKitkG5L0hUHlAkkD9q61Rw0CY/s1600/mid+july+arwen+028.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6CyixdHmNRmcCbuDg67-icv3xJx1lwdRNYmtGt7SyQhLGEZ2TIoGJ4W1fVk6o4XZez8YrwRmy9_gTCjrKHIeWSbEFNSdL7jBTVi9upMiB6y-pCD1LkvKitkG5L0hUHlAkkD9q61Rw0CY/s400/mid+july+arwen+028.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498281248978231298" /></a><br /><div></div><br />What is new in the life and times of Buggito? The baby has just gotten back to her old self again within the past two days. Midweek she woke up early 6:00am with some gas pains that continued throughout the day making her very fussy, the only calming technique that seemed to work was cradling her tummy down and swaying her to and fro. From what I was reading this can happen if the baby gets something in your breast milk that doesn't agree with their system. I'm usually a creature of habit when it comes to my diet but I opted for a double quarter pounder with cheese the day before which made me feel pretty sick, so I'm guessing that may have affected the baby as well.<br /><div></div><br />The next day the gas pains were gone but she did NOT want to sleep at all. I would spend 30-40 minutes trying to get her to sleep rocking and singing to her and she would only stay asleep for 15-20 minutes at a time. When she usually sleeps for a few hours at a time. Needless to say she was irritable ALL day long, and of course it had to be a day that I was feeling under the weather and was really looking forward to our good long naps together. But we weathered the storm and by bedtime we both slept like logs. <br /><div></div><br />The following day she was back to her old self, sleeping well and all smiles when she awoke, my migraine was gone and we had a good day together. A few odd little bumps in our routine though, the baby has been chewing her hands and usually this is her hunger cue but when I tried feeding her she just got upset. Then we started noticing her drooling, which is something she never used to do, her temperature was high the other day as well. Not at a fever but only just below that point, that coupled with the recent fussiness has us believing she may be teething. I went out and bought her a Raz-berry teething pacifier and she has enjoyed gnawing on it. Shes only 9 weeks but my Mom said by three months I had cut two teeth so she may be an early bloomer in the chomper department just like me.<br /><div></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCRNjiZ5CT6_xIb1kmJM4fu8wwz3l7OUOJlR-I2sMIFfjNIQkuit5JshyZtC1jqjZVNRWcu6rb-ZmYvWPji_DQrgp_2jR0gj5q_y6olEHSVU39WI8VtheYUtQC-SyeiSraOVlgM_yOrQ4/s1600/raz-berrysiliconeteether.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 311px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCRNjiZ5CT6_xIb1kmJM4fu8wwz3l7OUOJlR-I2sMIFfjNIQkuit5JshyZtC1jqjZVNRWcu6rb-ZmYvWPji_DQrgp_2jR0gj5q_y6olEHSVU39WI8VtheYUtQC-SyeiSraOVlgM_yOrQ4/s400/raz-berrysiliconeteether.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498688044364082146" /></a><br /><div></div><br />In an effort to tackle the growing mess in my house from my few days out of commission caring for a grouchy baby I devised a means of keeping Buggito close but being able to accomplish some cooking and dishes. I at first attempted to put Buggito in her sling while I chopped up veggies for stew but she was to nosey and kept wiggling herself too far out for me to safely see what I was chopping. As Chris was at work with the car, I couldn't afford to chop a finger off that day!.So I made a make shift cot for the baby with a laundry basket a pillow and a few baby blankets, I placed her inside grabbed the handles and rocked her to sleep. Then I took her into the kitchen with me and kept her on the floor beside me while I worked, I managed to catch up all the dishes and make 3 big pots of stew. That's my new Mom technique these days, making lots of food at once. That way I can freeze most of it for other nights when I just don't have time to be in the kitchen all day!. So far I have about 20 meals worth frozen and ready for busy days in the future.<br /><div></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxzRroVzc86nnWtHZUS7j7djq_xPcokWR-Qpa1uD3AGhNnbzmuJIUFHeIimG6ZDzdrnMNVVotP44F5CzmqRFi6BkG1RF-iJLpciHYVkrnmAgTPE-shIH6qIBrqEBm1da-rbeyP4QHg-P0/s1600/mid+july+arwen+049.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxzRroVzc86nnWtHZUS7j7djq_xPcokWR-Qpa1uD3AGhNnbzmuJIUFHeIimG6ZDzdrnMNVVotP44F5CzmqRFi6BkG1RF-iJLpciHYVkrnmAgTPE-shIH6qIBrqEBm1da-rbeyP4QHg-P0/s400/mid+july+arwen+049.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498645293307398034" /></a><br /><div></div><br />The baby has been enjoying watching and looking at things allot more these days, we can now read her board books together. We took her to a BBQ the other day and although we stayed for a few hours she didn't fuss once, she was having too much fun watching all the people she didn't know. She even let one of the older ladies carry her around for awhile and snuggle her without a fuss. I also had her over at my friend Emily's house for most of the day last week and she was well behaved the entire time not a single crying moment despite the fact it was such a hot day. I'm glad she saves the fussiness for at home and behaves in public!. <br /><div></div><br />She loves it when I sing to her. Her favourite song is "pure imagination" from Willy Wonka (the original) if she is crying or upset and I start to sing it she usually quiets down to listen to it. She also really likes a mix CD of traditional Asian music I found, I turn it on in the background at home and she usually nods off to sleep pretty well. She sleeps allot still but her awake moments are getting more and more fun each day, she is smiling and interacting with us, she has made a few practice laughs, which consist of smiling and hyperventilating for a few seconds. It wont be long now before the giggles start!. <br /><div></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPrOMynLau0vOWM5y4Kq0JDSueX6Xhc_WWa5OJsVnI5lLueP461eSsDyXsqylYU07459x9rqhQMzR-uwvhrKmZeBHNwY1gfsdEiVefXApmp8D6a3C4SFu-5vNeF0gr6HGxN-YLr522aco/s1600/morearwenjuly+036.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPrOMynLau0vOWM5y4Kq0JDSueX6Xhc_WWa5OJsVnI5lLueP461eSsDyXsqylYU07459x9rqhQMzR-uwvhrKmZeBHNwY1gfsdEiVefXApmp8D6a3C4SFu-5vNeF0gr6HGxN-YLr522aco/s400/morearwenjuly+036.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498652308947417426" /></a><br /><div></div><br />Other than that my big news is I'm going to try to get her to the portrait studio this coming weekend for some pictures in her cute little green sundress, as it fits her perfectly now. If I wait much longer she will have outgrown it. After this set of studio portraits I'm going to work at creating a good enough at home studio to get better pictures of her. I get pretty sad when I look back at some of her older pictures and they look so blurry, Shes changing so quickly, once these moments are over they are gone forever. I'm almost O.C.D lately about getting good photos of the baby, I cant believe its already been two months of having her in our life. Time is flying by like crazy. Well that's pretty much it for this post of updates!<br /><div></div>pixiekissedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07712671746694912212noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8836504377718066384.post-89618883167256515862010-07-17T16:01:00.000-07:002010-07-17T16:37:13.420-07:00the deed is done! 8 weeks along....<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii6B2qNgZYpISYH1oSuqQ524dkUW5uFVZaJ0OEqqb6Rd3SrSASqMghEgxjsEsdjsUzXh5hMwqnrYtYfY5WXH2TlWQFNbLDxMN_7S4cwdFvNtt8WF5imLQ-DGK52w14y1WY0NnuQ4-sRTo/s1600/julyarwen+061.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii6B2qNgZYpISYH1oSuqQ524dkUW5uFVZaJ0OEqqb6Rd3SrSASqMghEgxjsEsdjsUzXh5hMwqnrYtYfY5WXH2TlWQFNbLDxMN_7S4cwdFvNtt8WF5imLQ-DGK52w14y1WY0NnuQ4-sRTo/s400/julyarwen+061.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495017751132353154" /></a><br /><div></div><br />Yesterday was the big day for Buggito's first set of shots, I had been dreading the moment for about two weeks now. I had heard from a few people how it brought them close to tears and how many bad reactions their babies/children have had to shots. So needless to say I was really expecting the worst. When we got there yes she cried~while screamed actually.... but it only lasted a few minutes then she was fast asleep. When she woke up she was all smiles and baby babble again, the trauma of the afternoon already forgotten!. So the worst part was short lived~thank goodness!. Also another baby milestone, Buggito got her first band~aids yesterday, two Dora ones that look so big on her little legs. <br /><div></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWyvn4RIUBs4Utbizu3aczisZNGCpxlSB3J_v_K7AqAp7GcOQDnAfWKy-RGCAUAKltI-Ng-UxJ9bcvrgR_zzCfXuHWqL_X22_cnWKojYalvT3SAd8rOT-v8A8w957UvaJMrpwyviW729o/s1600/julyarwen+056.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWyvn4RIUBs4Utbizu3aczisZNGCpxlSB3J_v_K7AqAp7GcOQDnAfWKy-RGCAUAKltI-Ng-UxJ9bcvrgR_zzCfXuHWqL_X22_cnWKojYalvT3SAd8rOT-v8A8w957UvaJMrpwyviW729o/s400/julyarwen+056.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495017760834754786" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguAq8txLVAc9xpaIt0Tcn99lOvPUepT6iogXL3r57bJs2Ctbb2dXAapxoMumFhvuyEN5Mub25BFNDC_i6BDy2kh89-JtQ8SwGJ45iPOljFA0fWmLyn4Yv-GA6MxNHoehiRtj8JHH0pcTk/s1600/julyarwen+055.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguAq8txLVAc9xpaIt0Tcn99lOvPUepT6iogXL3r57bJs2Ctbb2dXAapxoMumFhvuyEN5Mub25BFNDC_i6BDy2kh89-JtQ8SwGJ45iPOljFA0fWmLyn4Yv-GA6MxNHoehiRtj8JHH0pcTk/s400/julyarwen+055.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495017758158600882" /></a><br /><div></div><br />Today the baby and I have been enjoying some classical oriental music, we danced around the house together after breakfast, took a nap and had a good tummy time session. I cant believe how alert she is getting, she still sleeps allot but her awake time is spent watching everything in fascination. She has started to really stare at lips when your talking to her. She sometimes stares at them when a song with female vocals is playing and starts to smile like she finds it funny she can hear a voice but my lips are not moving. <br /><div></div><br />Each morning she has a big story to tell us when she sees us, she'll babble to us for 10 minutes straight, then she usually has to share the story with her frog mobile while we have our breakfast. She has started to enjoy being toured around her nursery to look at everything, shes getting to be pretty curious about the dogs as well where she never seemed to notice them before now she watches their movements around the house. I cant believe how much she has changed in such a short period of time, looking at pictures of her from 8 weeks ago its hard to tell its the same baby.<br /><div></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWVs3EliDu3vkd_JVZG9jBV_6tXxm6OzODZ1861aR8qky6GdBY0dajOaHM2Rpt5hpJjvmL-mrADTNCDZGC5K2w8bNOkppokKDKM18PqucEFW_EIu9AS-6ldiQKxkxPIznN37rXYSd_56Y/s1600/DSCF2036.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWVs3EliDu3vkd_JVZG9jBV_6tXxm6OzODZ1861aR8qky6GdBY0dajOaHM2Rpt5hpJjvmL-mrADTNCDZGC5K2w8bNOkppokKDKM18PqucEFW_EIu9AS-6ldiQKxkxPIznN37rXYSd_56Y/s400/DSCF2036.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495023202016723106" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4w_Y7dj1Znqsgn92b573GiwpnAUsJeAdV4oZ60jdaM7h4bsZiPnHi-a2Nh8hccmsw-6XxG53fyTwzgyNaRO7lu7lFpUr_Bv6uFH0j4SY2_cxtK8pl2fApn3mpO_PawmP1BgaB9aO2OVg/s1600/julyarwen+087.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4w_Y7dj1Znqsgn92b573GiwpnAUsJeAdV4oZ60jdaM7h4bsZiPnHi-a2Nh8hccmsw-6XxG53fyTwzgyNaRO7lu7lFpUr_Bv6uFH0j4SY2_cxtK8pl2fApn3mpO_PawmP1BgaB9aO2OVg/s400/julyarwen+087.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495021276915719314" /></a><br /><div></div>pixiekissedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07712671746694912212noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8836504377718066384.post-84753204788394737392010-07-15T13:22:00.001-07:002010-07-15T13:24:38.549-07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQHKVX0wF-FS3OUwAWSJAUQbGGKWUoIe1YpLQFMunhXE9FwB2SLRLrbIMnR8K3NKFhekEeVJcRSU9tDFVxXHkKqSh4iaCOwEM6CKTWjhdXoUpsLEvQlAp90Sr-ZMjcLijX8Dz6iawWF6w/s1600/babypalooza+105.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQHKVX0wF-FS3OUwAWSJAUQbGGKWUoIe1YpLQFMunhXE9FwB2SLRLrbIMnR8K3NKFhekEeVJcRSU9tDFVxXHkKqSh4iaCOwEM6CKTWjhdXoUpsLEvQlAp90Sr-ZMjcLijX8Dz6iawWF6w/s400/babypalooza+105.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494231492887295714" /></a><br /><div></div><br /> Dear Buggito,<br /><div></div><br />Or should I say "Chris Angel", how did you manage~while fully clothed, to get poop all over the floor, and all over my clothing but not manage to get a drop on your own outfit.

What does this mean, more supervision for Buggito now that she is semi-mobile. Another plus for mobility, her neck and head control is getting better each day, I'm sure by the end of the month she will be holding her head upright on her own. She is already holding it up and looking from side to side for 5-10 minutes at a time.<br /><div></div><br />I bought Chris a yoga ball for his back exercises and I have discovered that Buggito loves to be bounced in my arms while I'm sitting on it, it has been a blessing when she has been fussy to fall asleep in this heat. Other than that I'm still dreading her first set of shots coming up on the 16th.<br /><div></div>pixiekissedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07712671746694912212noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8836504377718066384.post-43189979753765989542010-07-08T16:31:00.001-07:002010-07-08T17:32:04.359-07:00heat!<div></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8rOldrgMJOtmAeDpAGRWgFgIUc3r8qTgddNUuiThbx20-UOQt_7MY1NQ6DsCn1bC2ChPS19nw2rANvtT6zWyUMDRengTSXh1v3tESv7rj0eUjzniAB6VkNKSkBky1bap6VIlWyKpn9qs/s1600/ttlBabySunRising.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 360px; height: 271px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8rOldrgMJOtmAeDpAGRWgFgIUc3r8qTgddNUuiThbx20-UOQt_7MY1NQ6DsCn1bC2ChPS19nw2rANvtT6zWyUMDRengTSXh1v3tESv7rj0eUjzniAB6VkNKSkBky1bap6VIlWyKpn9qs/s400/ttlBabySunRising.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491682551869570930" /></a><br /><div></div><br />The last two days have been scorching, Buggito has been sporting naught but a diaper and even that feels like bundling her too much, If I didn't mind the inevitable mess I would be tempted to leave her nude. The best I can do is set her up in her cradle swing by the breeze of the window with the fan blowing directly on her. This seems to soothe her most of the time. She still wants to be cuddled and snuggled even though she just gets frustrated that she gets too hot being in my arms. <br /><div></div><br />Its been a pretty lazy week at home, I had decided to download "the secret life of the American teenager" after glimpsing an episode on t.v, thinking I would hate it. Unfortunately I got hooked on the teen drama and had a marathon run of season one, ah well I guess horrible television is just par for the course when your on mat leave especially if you don't drive and are stuck puttering around the home. At least the cabin fever I was facing before the baby arrived is gone, I'm at peace with my slower pace of life. We have been trying to go for walks and get out and stay active everyday~most days we succeed and I find the exercise is helping. I have lost 20 of the 30 pregnancy pounds I put on and seem to be doing pretty good at keeping them off, I'm sure in the next few months the last few pounds will slowly start to shave away if I keep making sure to be active. <br /><div></div> <br />A few days ago I left Chris home alone with the baby for the first time so I could go out with a friend for some coffee and a visit. I had two bottles pumped and fed her before I left, then off to the coffee shop I went. I wasn't worried about the baby at all, I was a bit worried for Chris though, he gets pretty upset when the baby gets really fussy~ which only really occurs if she doesn't get her food right away. I went out for a couple of hours and had a good time visiting, when I got in the door and asked Chris how the baby was he looked stressed. I guess he hadn't picked up on the hunger que fast enough and the baby had been in hysterics for sometime just before I got home. Poor guy, I tried to give him a few pointers and he discovered how long a bottle takes to warm up so I'm pretty confident daddy time will go much better the next time.<br /><div></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgybswb-5Ylzeildw3uc3v1vVPGV6kz8y86fA4nnM3ekNV0uKcSRhSKwTjwqI45f7UhNUZBj7ri8TCGiTkyBSabJiN7F1J6fOJ669lomzwBq04S9v3Yd-N454BCy_CK8ToEhMzTNOp9t6o/s1600/babypalooza+095.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgybswb-5Ylzeildw3uc3v1vVPGV6kz8y86fA4nnM3ekNV0uKcSRhSKwTjwqI45f7UhNUZBj7ri8TCGiTkyBSabJiN7F1J6fOJ669lomzwBq04S9v3Yd-N454BCy_CK8ToEhMzTNOp9t6o/s400/babypalooza+095.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491691348939896578" /></a><br /><div></div> <br />Buggito is getting much better at neck control she can hold her own head upright for good length of time now. I'm hoping she has enough neck control by the end of this month so I can take her down to Walmart and get some studio pictures of her in her smallest little summer dress I bought before it no longer fits her. I have also been trying to get her a new outfit to wear each day so she can have at least worn them all once but with this heat making her wear anything just seems like cruelty. <br /><div></div> <br />I have to call the doctor and schedule Buggitto to get her first round of vaccines next Friday, I'm not looking forward to that, poor sweet baby girl is not going to be happy. The last time she cried in pain because I bopped her in the head I felt like crap, having her scream from the needle is going to be much worse I'm sure. I'm still a bit hesitant about baby/child vaccines, I'm a big advocate for less medical intervention is best especially when dealing with pharmaceuticals. As long as none of the shots contain thimeresol things should be fine, I'm pretty sure Canada is allot more strict about that than America is though. From what I have been reading online only the Hep B vaccine contains any thimeresol and it is in very tiny doses, I still cant help but worry though.<br /><div></div>pixiekissedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07712671746694912212noreply@blogger.com1
