Update with pictures to come soon

Rae has had a cough for almost three weeks now, so I took her to the doctor last Friday. Turns out she has an ear infection. Lovely, she is on her first round of antibiotics. She is more cranky on the antibiotics than she was with the ear infection. We go back on Monday for her 6 month checkup. We have been kickin' it at home all week. I am sooo excited for this baby garage sale thing that I heard about. Check it out HERE. The really cool thing about it is that if you are expecting or have a baby under 1 year old, then you can register to go before it opens to the public. I plan on being there Friday by four o'clock. Hopefully that will be early enough to pick up a jogging stroller. Maybe I will see some of you in line!

Happy mommy and other things...

I was really sick of holding all of Rae's bottles, and seeing as how she is almost six months old I decided it was time for her to learn. I figured she could do it, because when you pull the bottle out of her mouth she grabs it and puts it back. I decided to just lay her on the floor and put her bottle next to her. Within a matter of seconds she had it picked up and in her mouth, happily eating away. What a stinker! She REFUSES to hold it if I am holding her, but does so well when left to her own devices.

I also took this picture sometime this weekend. What a sweet picture of my two favorite sweethearts!

Happy Valentine's Day

Too bad I was one cupcake short of a heart. It isn't because I ate it, I promise. Count them. Still 24 of them. How is that for self control?!?

Daddy's Girl

It only took five months to see what traits Jeff has given to Rae. She may look just like her momma, but she has a passion for TV just like her daddy. We set her down to play with her toys and turned on Backyardigans because she will occationally watch for a few minutes. It got really quiet and when we peeked around the corner this is what we found. We had to climb over her to get the camera and she never looked away. Doesn't she look comfy?!?




Also, this week she thinks she is too big for naps. When I put her in her crib she just cries and cries. That is why I have been finding her like this all week:

I guess having really good English teachers has paid off...

TV Reviews

I am not sure how they rate it, but I will post anything that says I am smarter than the average ten year old.

Urgent Update

I posted too soon. I just checked and the second one broke through last night. My baby is just going to have a mouthful of teeth soon. What a big girl!

Time for some REAL food...

Okay not really, because I am the meanest mom. Rae broke her first tooth yesterday with the secod one ready to break through any time now. She thinks that just because she has a tooth, that I should share my cookies for breakfast. I don't think so. Thankfully, she has just been her normal self...maybe without the extreme appetite, but she has not been too cranky. I wouldn't have even known if she hadn't started knawing on my finger!
