Sam Sick… AGAIN!

by Kristi on March 5, 2008 · 0 comments


Wow, what a cold season, huh? Sam started coughing on Sunday and it got much worse on Monday night. Both Sun & Mon night were rough due to waking up in the middle of the night which sucked. Luckily she just stays in her bed. Anyway, each time she gets sick it gets progressively worse. [...]

And Sleep Continues… Kind of

by Kristi on March 3, 2008 · 0 comments


Well, we went a little downhill. The awesome part is that she doesn’t leave her bed until we are in the room. So we hear little ‘Mama! Papa! Mama!’ when she is up. The stair gate is really confusing us though. Justin can jump over it. I, obviously, can’t. I also have problems CLOSING it [...]

First Hurdle Over With!

by Kristi on March 1, 2008 · 0 comments


Well, I’m thinking of it as a series of hurdles that we have to jump over. And strangely enough, the first hurdle has been jumped perfectly!!! She cried a few times around 11, 12, and 2am but it was all under 5 minutes and she went back down. She said/talked something around 630 but I [...]

Weird…

by Kristi on March 1, 2008 · 0 comments


It’s been 40 minutes since J left the room. She cried/whined for 4 minutes tops. I was ready to go up there in two to make sure she wasn’t scared but she just stopped after four…. We have the monitor on SUPER loud to hear her moving around (makes you wish for those video ones, [...]

Emergency Call…

by Kristi on February 16, 2008 · 0 comments


To the pediatrician, that is! I should really call them more often. They are super helpful. I don’t know why I don’t call them. Anyway, the short blog post is that we are going to be modifying her eating habits during the day. Three good meals, two short snacks, enforcing good table habits. Possibly shortening [...]

by Kristi on February 3, 2008 · 0 comments


So yesterday we had some old friends call us up and want to go out to dinner tonight cause we haven’t seen them in aaaages. After discussing it back and forth with J, we decided that we should not go, given the fact we wanted to move Sam to her big girl bed today. We [...]

No Bottle Tonight!!!

by Kristi on January 22, 2008 · 1 comment


Oh my god, I didn’t give her a bottle tonight!! She didn’t even ask! I had a few thoughts of going to the store when she woke up from her nap and going to pick out a big girl sippy cup and made a big deal out of it. But when she got up, Elmo [...]

Happy New Year!!!

by Kristi on January 1, 2008 · 4 comments


I hope everyone is enjoying their first day of 2008! I have no round-up or resolutions to talk about. I only have to laugh as last night Justin and I decided that when Sam woke up we would not give her a bottle, no Elmo, no stories, we would get her to go BACK TO [...]

Naughty!

by Kristi on December 15, 2007 · 2 comments


Sammie was a very naughty girl today. Honestly, after my morning I was tempted to say I’m NEVER taking her in the car again as she is a complete pill getting strapped in lately. It’s only with me, and sometimes when Justin is alone with her and he gets in and out of the car [...]

Happy Birthday Sammie!

by Kristi on December 10, 2007 · 3 comments


Happy 2nd Birthday to my little baby doll! Today was the big day and it was a very relaxing day which was wonderful after the awesome party we had yesterday for her. Having a little munchkin running around and actually understanding what you say is crazy. We had to be careful all morning to simply [...]

ARGH! It’s supposed to RAIN on Friday & Saturday now! EEK! I won’t be able to get Sam her bouncy house if it rains. I’m so sad… I made all the plans today to move her party into our house instead of outside. It should be fine, we have enough room but I really wanted [...]

Overtired Kiddos

by Kristi on November 14, 2007 · 0 comments


Argh. Kids who are overtired are absolute monsters. Poor guys. They need the sleep but they just won’t DO IT! LOL Thankfully she is napping right now. After ridiculous amounts of crying. Update: I lied. She did not sleep. Early bedtime, anyone???? Eek!! People still looking for Marvin Twin photos and video, have fun!
