Almost a year.

Well it has been a rough week to say the least. Actually the past two weeks have been rough. We found out Tuesday that Maddy has an infection in both ears & she is getting in her back molars. This has meant absolutely no sleep & lots of cuddling in bed with Daddy and Mommy. I have always said "I will never let my child sleep in the bed with us", yeah that changed after one night of no sleep. Anyways, I'm hoping she will feel better by this Saturday for her birthday party!

Maddy is almost a one year old! 10 more days..

She is weighing about 20 lbs and Josh says she is 28 inches long..
She loves playing with her blocks & baby doll
She drags the baby doll everywhere and trys to climb with her but falls
She eats four jars of food a day and 3 bottles
She loves buttered toast and scrambled eggs .. she does not like fried eggs .. we tried
She will eat ground beef from the mexican restaurants but not baby meat.. I don't blame her
She use to sleep from 8:30 til almost 7 but now that has totally changed because of teeth and being sick
She loves to explore everything now I can't keep her in the living room .. she goes everywhere
She loves Barney, CMT & Mickey Mouse Clubhouse
She waves to the people singing on the TV
She likes playing with her tea pot
She loves going outside
She likes riding in the car but pulls her canopy down on the car seat and props her feet up
She is just a happy, healthy, precious baby girl ! I love you Maddy!!

Going to Chuck E Cheese

She loved the cup!

We rode this with her probably 5 times.. She couldn't get enough!

Getting ready for her birthday!

Thats all for right now- Kristin :)

Another day down

Well last night was rough. Ever since I had my gall bladder taken out I've been occasionally not being able to sleep because of my legs. The only explanation I have to describe the symptoms is restless leg syndrom. Anyways last night was one of those nights where I could not sleep. So I sat up until about 1:00am. Then Maddy has been waking up every night between 1:30 - 3. We dont know why she does this but it happens. Last night she woke up at 2:30 and Josh got her and rocked her and put her back in the bed. Well before 3 she was standing on the crib waiting for us. I got her and rocked her to sleep then she woke up at 6:40. I wish I could find a way to get her to sleep all night or at least a little later. So this morning I had no sleep & was exhausted. Then this afternoon I started to get an awful headache & was really nauseas (sp?). So by tonight I was miserable but anyways Josh got dinner and picked up Excedrin which helped about 2 hours later. He even played with her and got her bath and dressed for bed all by himself. He is so amazing and always comes through when I need him. Now I'm sitting up because I stayed up so late last night I can't sleep. It's a never ending cycle. I'm going to the surgeon tomorrow because I noticed a red rash and its tender around my belly button, where they took out my gall bladder. We will see how that goes. I guess I'm going to try to go to sleep now. I'll try to post an update on Maddy sometime soon. I'm getting really excited for her birthday :)
Goodnight, Kristin :)
