Sickie baby

This morning, I went to get Maddy up and as I approached her door, I could smell vomit. She was sitting in a pool of puke. She was happy, but she was sick. So I thought it might have been the fish from the night before since she seemed happy and had no fever.  She got a bath and clothes.

I remembered Em's family had a bug go through their entire family. So I gave her a bottle like normal and waited. It didn't take long. She spit up just a bit. Not much, just a bit. So I figured I was good to go. Another quick sink bath and new clothes.

Within another ten minutes, she came walking into the kitchen towards me and just started projectile vomiting. It just came out as she walked towards me. She puked about three times and finally sat down in a pile of curdled milk from her belly. Eww. Needless to say, she was really sick. Not fish - sick.  Reagan was a huge help, although a little scared of Maddy touching her. She brought me a towel and paper towels to help me clean up and then ran away completely.

I then called mom to come help (which she did - Thank you mother!) and then got the steam cleaner to get the vomit off the carpeting. I got Reagan to school and then grabbed some pedialite before heading home to rescue my sick mother and child.

Needless to say, she's home with me today. She's happy, but a tad week. Very wobbly. She actually walked over to me on the couch with her blanket and wanted "up". She climbed in my lap and drifted off to sleep while we were watching Baby Einstein. Sweet baby.

New shoes

I picked the girls up from school early to go to my doctor's appointment and then go get some new shoes. By the way, Stride Rite is really expensive, but worth it. Needless to say it was a sad day. My little girl, Maddy, is now in BIG girl shoes. Sniff sniff. The sales lady asked if she had started walking. When I answered, "oh yea she's all over the place". She said, "well then she's here in this section now" and pointed to the next level up. Sniff again. I told her no. She said yes. I said I wasn't ready, she laughed and basically said too bad. Sniff again and again. She's a 5W. What? Wide? Okay that's weird.

Anyway... after we put them on her and checked the size, she let her go. Maddy didn't know what to do. She was trying to walk, but it was like watching her walk through poop. She'd take a step and then lift her foot as if to go "what the heck?" She did that several times and then just took off like a mad woman. That was it.

So on to Reagan. She actually did really well today. She was so excited about getting new shoes, I didn't have much prodding to do. She got new sneakers and new church shoes. Oh yea - they are total bling shoes. She's now a size 11 or 12. The shoes we got were size 12, but they lady said 11 I thought. Hmmm. Sigh.

My girls are getting bigger.

Wednesday nights

Reagan loves church. Every night, she asks if she gets to go to church. Tonight was the night. She got so excited. I just love seeing that kind of joy when my kid goes to church. Makes me feel good.

big girl shoes

Maddy got big girl shoes today. sniff sniff.

Whoah

Maddy was sitting in her chair tonight and leaned forward a little bit too much. After pulling herself back up from a potential fall, she said "whooaa".

I want that!

Tonight, we were hanging out in the basement - letting the girls just play. I sat down at my computer and within 30 seconds, Maddy let out a shriek. A really loud noise. I turned around to figure out what she wanted. She was standing at Reagan's easel and was pointing at the eraser on top. She just smiled and made her happy noise. Guess she got my attention.

Princess overload

Reagan is really getting into her dressup stuff more and more lately. Tonight, she got completely decked out for her friends - Brent and Braydon. It was really cute. They came over. They all ran to the basement. She got dressed for the occasion. I'm so glad we have a bunch of that stuff.

I think tonight's outfit had a tiara, headband with a HUGE bow, tutu and tons of bling. Love it.
