baby one coming in for landing!

June 18, 2009

Yep, that is my little airplane coming in for a landing! She plays horsey with Daddy and airplane with Mommy (what? Mommy needs to tone up her thighs -- this helps!). She likes it -- she leans forward or she'll "Superman" while up there. It's very very cute.

Lil Miss was so good for me today. We went to work this morning and I knew it was going to be a busy day because Charles is leaving for Costa Rica for ten days tomorrow afternoon. While Lil Miss did decide that the best place to be when Mommy was typing up the dictation was in my lap, once she was there, she was perfectly happy. It was a bit interesting though -- have you ever tried typing with an almost three month old who can't exactly sit up well on her own sitting in your lap?

Let me tell you -- it's quite the experience.

Lil Miss is such a hit up there. The attorneys all love her -- none of them have young children anymore and none of them have grandchildren yet, so there haven't been baby-babies in their worlds for quite awhile. And now that Lil Miss does more than just, you know, sit there and sleep, they think it's great. The first thing Chip does when he comes in is come up to say hi to her and get her to smile (he says it makes her day). And Rae (the other assistant -- her daughter is twenty two and just graduated from West Point (we're very proud of her)) just LOVES Lil Miss. And Lil Miss grins at her all the time. She even lets Rae hold her (not many people other than family have held Lil Miss -- not even Natalie or her daughters. Mainly just me and Jimmy and Lauren, and Grandma Barbara and Grandma Lynn when they were here. Oh, and, of course, her doctor and the nurses). Now part of that is because most of our neighbors and friends are twenty something males that aren't exactly comfortable, you know, holding babies. (c: But mainly? I like holding her. (c:

The Drool Monster attacks again!

Lil Miss had a bit of a grumpy this afternoon (I think she was gassy) but it wasn't horrible and we dealt with it. Thanks for the idea, by the way, Grandma Peggy -- the leg trick worked great -- she stopped fussing right away. She's been trying to be so good for the past few days -- I think she's picking up that something is different in the house and Mommy's slightly stressed. She's doing well sleeping in her nursery. She didn't sleep much today at work and didn't take a long nap this afternoon, so she actually put herself to sleep about seven thirty. I'm fully prepared for her to wake up very very early in the morning. I am, however, going to go wake her up to eat before I go to bed. Also, because I want to put her in her jammies (she's sleeping in a onesie right now -- I didn't expect her to actually be putting herself to bed. I figured she'd wake up again before "bedtime").

Jimmy's still sick. I hate not knowing how to help or how to fix it. I'm still hoping, but I'm preparing myself to not get to go to Orlando this weekend. )c: That makes me a sad panda. I was looking forward to getting off the island and, most importantly to seeing my Momma!

Tomorrow, we have our shots appointment. Mommy is NOT looking forward to that. I don't like it when she cries the "hurt" cry! It breaks my heart. )c:

and lil miss makes it all better

May 11, 2009

Yeah............Mommy was sick yesterday. I felt like crap. Even after I took my bath, I still felt like crap. So Lil Miss was a bit fussy and we were laying on the couch. Apparently we fell asleep -- and Daddy took a picture. I should kick him -- I LOOK sick. But it's a cute picture and, honestly, it's my favorite way to sleep now. I love cuddling with my little monkey -- she's such a good cuddlebug.

So Mommy worked today. And Lil Miss didn't. She stayed home with Daddy. And gave Daddy a taste of what Mommy has been trying to tell him for the last six weeks -- she's a good baby, but she's not always the easiest baby to take care of. She's put herself on a bit of a schedule -- wakes up between 7 and 9 and is awake til early afternoon (2 to 3ish). She wants to play in the mornings. She'll take little power naps, but not sleep much. Then she wakes up about 5 or 6ish and is awake until about 9 or 10, when she puts herself to bed for the night, just waking up to eat.

Daddy got a taste of Lil Miss being awake for a few good hours today. Maybe he won't think my job was so easy anymore. (c:

Don't look at the face -- look at how well she's sitting up!!! (Even if she does need some help)

So work wasn't bad, but it was hard. I just wanted to get everything done as quick as possible so I could get home. I missed my little bunny. As soon as I came home, even though she was asleep, I went and picked her up and held her for a bit and felt a bit better.

You would be proud of me -- I didn't really cry. It was hard and it sucked, but I didn't cry. It took longer to leave this morning than usual though, cause I didn't want to leave her and she was rather fussy.

I love her though. She seemed happy to see me tonight and was very sweet and cuddly. It's so good to come home and go to pick her up and see her smile when she sees me. Nothing better.

Watching Transformers (one of our favorite movies) with Daddy.

She likes the TV. I think she just likes the moving pictures and the flashing lights, but when she's laying on our bed with us, or on the couch with us, like above, she watches the TV. I know she doesn't understand it, but she watched Transformers with Daddy for a good twenty minutes. It was very cute.

Daddy says we need to get her some Baby Einsteins. He says they start at 3 months -- and that will be here before I know it!

Best picture we've managed of her sticking her tongue out. Her "yuck" face (like when she spits out her bottle cause she's done). It's TOO cute!

She's getting big. A friend of ours who hadn't seen her in like three weeks came by this evening and was just like "Wow, she's getting bigger!" I couldn't agree more. She's getting very heavy and very long. I think she's grown again. Her two month doctor's appointment is coming up in like a week and a half, so they'll be able to tell me how much she weighs and how long she is.

Though I'll also have to get her immunizations done. NOT looking forward to that part.

Finally zonked out -- and yes, she's sucking on her fingers.

And she's finally out. Mommy still doesn't feel good, so it's cheesecake time and then? Sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.

and i'm a wreck

Sorry about not posting yesterday -- I wasn't feeling good at ALL and I worked and everything, so when I finally got Lil Miss down for the night, I went straight to bed. I actually asked for help last night, you should all be proud of me. I said the words "I need a break" because I was sick and needed to take a bath and try to feel better -- and I felt horrible doing it too.

So yeah -- working today. And, for the first time, I've left my Lil Miss. And I hate it. I'm a wreck -- I just want to get everything done and get home already. I'm waiting on someone to call me back and then I'm going home. Jimmy's been calling (he's feeling much much MUCH better, btw) so I know she's okay, but I'm still anxious and I still just want to go home so I can see her and hold her and love on her. I miss her.

It makes me feel like I'm going crazy!!

I'll post more -- with pictures too -- tonight. As soon as I get lots of loving and cuddle time with my sweet little girl!
