Green beans

Tonight we tried green beans. Yum. She actually liked those much better than the sweet potatoes. They stayed in her mouth. :)

Fine motor skills rockin'

Maddy is really getting her pincher grab down. The doctor commented on it at her appointment today, but we told her that she'd been able to grab small things for a while now. She easily picks up the pendants on my necklaces. Love it! My little girl is getting big.

Maddy's still sick

We took her in for her six month visit today and found out that she still has the ear infection they found a month ago. Nice! Her right ear is still cloudy and red. Ugh. So instead of my oral drugs, they decided to give her a shot. Oh... she cried so hard for about 15 minutes. She ended up sleeping all day - almost literally. She didn't really sleep much last night or the night before so she made up for a lot of lost sleep. She slept from 4am - 7am. Then she slept from 10am - 1245pm at daycare. Then I picked her up and got her in the car. She went right back to sleep until about 1:30pm. Then we took pics and after she ate at 2:30pm, she went back to sleep until 6:30 pm. I was shocked when she was tired at 8pm. I put her down at 9pm though. I tried to keep her up. Poor thing. My little one is so sick. :(

Jelly?

This morning before we took Maddy to the doctor, I went to change her diaper. When I opened it up, she was still filling her diaper. Nice. When I looked a little bit more, I realized that it wasn't poop coming out of her butt, it was a gel-like substance. Interesting. What amazed me more than that was that I was actually watching her do it. Hmmm.

Reagan doesn't like to go to bed

So Jim's in Maddy's room hanging out. Not sure why. But he's playing games on his phone while Maddy lays in her bed kicking. Odd.

Reagan is in her bed as well. Too bad she's not laying down and just hanging out like Maddy. She up jumping around, climbing on her furniture, overall having a good time. So I go upstairs to find out what the noises are that I'm hearing. It was Reagan climbing on the bookcase in her room.

Unfortunately, I now have to go back upstairs and check on her. If she's screwing around on her bookcase again, I told her I'd pull all of her animals out of her room. Here's to hoping she's laying down. I'd hate to start that craziness tonight.

Happy Six Months Maddy

My little Maddy is SIX months old today. Sniff. She's getting so big. She's just so smiley all the time and such a happy baby. I can't believe that she's already been here for that long.

I went out last night...

My husband kicked me out last night to go to what I thought was a Mary Kay party. It was not. The director of this group, and a mom at Reagan's school, invited me to go. I didn't realize she was trying very hard to recruit me. I felt guilty about 20 minutes into the whole night. I wanted a new skin routine and she wanted a new sales rep. Hmmm. Bad mix.

Nonetheless, I had a good time. I did like the cleaning solutions and skin cream. Yea! I liked the mascara. She got me curious about a few other things, I wish I could have stayed to ask her what it was about, but I had to get home to feed Maddy.

When I got home, apparently all hell had broken loose. Not that I think I would have changed that had I been home, but it was not fun to come home to. Reagan had peed in her pants. Nice. Apparently she was inches from the toilet. Maddy was crying/fussing because she was hungry and tired.

It was a long night. Jim got Reagan in bed, but she wasn't tired. Maddy wasn't interested in sleeping. So she stayed up with us for a while. I eventually took her back upstairs and she fell asleep for a bit... around midnight. I grabbed a shower and laid down just in time for her to start fussing again. Jim tried to work with her, but after an hour she was still fussing and I was still awake. Nice again.

I eventually gave up and just brought her downstairs to sleep in her sleeper next to my bed. She went right to sleep. :) Funny thing - Reagan woke up about 4am. Jim just slept in her bed the rest of the night. Long night.
