Well I offically have a crawler now.. She took her first crawls on 8-25-09 in the hospital waiting room (get to that in a bit). She was so intrigued by a watch my Aunt Deb has that sings and has a little red light on it that she went for it! It was soo much fun to watch her crawl for the first time.. I am so glad I didn't miss that! Now I know why I stay home with my girl! She also now sits up on her own started doing that on 8-22-09. What I mean by sit up is she can take herself from her stomach to a sitting position. She gets better and better with each day. She has a hard time getting around in certian clothes (her PJ's & dresses) so I try not to have her in them for to long. She is very attracted to our TV stand. It is all open with Glass shelves, so she sees the lights on the electronics and all the DVD's and game controlers etc... I worry that she will hurt herself on the glass if she falls near it... So I currently have made a blocker with our laundry hampers.. may not b to creative, but it gets the job done! I am pretty sure she is trying to pull herself up also.. She trys to climb the walls sometimes and can get onto her knees when holding on to something so far. I don't know if I can help her in anyway or if she just has to do it on her own? She tends to fall down the most when she is attempting to pull herself up though and I hate to see her fall. So yea... she is a busy little girl getting around now.
About why I was at a hospital, my cousin Mandy was in the hospital in kidney failure. They said she had a condition called TTP and they were treating her with platlate transfusions which seemed to help her. She did however find herself in the ICU for a couple of days, she def had the family worried for awhile there. Now I have heard she is home with her baby, but still recovering.
Papa came here for a visit along with my sister and nephew. That was fun. I think my sister was in awe of how pretty the mountians are here. She couldn't get over the view we have from our very front yard. I am glad that she could get away from all the drama in her life and come here for a couple of days though. My sister, nephew (Dom) and I all went to a waterpark for a day. That was very fun. That was the first time I was away from Chloe for more than just 2 hours. Chloe stayed with Papa and Eric at home until they later met us in Branson for dinner. It was great to enjoy that time with Denise and Dom though. I think they had a good time also.
Eric has been doing good at work. He lost one of his best sellers a week or so ago. That seems to be a lil hard on him, because not many of his other people are that good. They have decided not to rehire right now either until things pick up a little bit more. Eric did sell a lot more last week and is having a good week this week also so I can't complain about that too much. I know it is just going to be a little more stress for him for awhile though. He does really good with Chloe also. It seemed hard in the beginning as I felt he didn't really want to help a lot and he felt I just wanted to push her off on him as soon as he got home from work. We went in circles with that for a couple months. I know that I stay home with her, but that doesn't mean he gets out of everything either. I did night duty pretty much everynight (except maybe the first couple weeks, that was bc we kept her in our room). I slept in the livingroom with Chloe for a good month - 6 weeks. She was a hard baby the first couple months as she had acid reflux and colic... yea. She literally cried 10-12hrs a day. I was lucky to get 1hr of sleep at a time. But we made it through it, and now she is a really good girl. She is on a schedule (not to the minute), and she seems to do well with it. She takes 2 naps a day eats 4 bottles and 3 solid meals, and plays a lot! Now when I lay her down for naps/bedtime she goes to sleep on her own without a fuss. I am so lucky that she is doing so good now and thankful. Anyway, I don't really know where all that came from.. lol guess thats bloggin right!
Anyway, Eric and I are doing great today is actually our 3 year anniversary. I am making ham, mashed tators, and green beans for us for dinner tonight. We will be together for 9 years on the 12th. I bought him the newest iphone a couple weeks ago and I get an iphone in Oct when I can upgrade so that is our gifts to each other this year. Oh yea... when we were at the waterpark I lost my new diamond cross necklace I got for our ann. last year. Sad sad... I miss that thing it was soo pretty and expensive too. but what can ya do... Okay well, I think thats about it for now... maybe I need to get on here more so these are so long lol!
Smooches ;)
