My cakes.

While at my parents for Christmas, Miley ran a 103 fever on Friday night and Saturday morning. She was burning up all night and was fussy and clingy all day Saturday. Like way abnormally so I took her into the urgent care and after 2 hours of waiting and LOTS of tears (mine included). They discovered she had an ear infection. After getting the antibiotics in her system she became my sweet Miley again! The miracle of medicine...oh how thankful I am for it!

So when I got Mileys meds I laid her down to give them to her. She went NUTS...I had to get someone to hold her while I squeezed her cheeks to keep the medicine in. It was HORRIBLE! I searched the internet for some easier ways b/c it was torture and she was screaming causing her to aspirate the medicine. Someone said give the baby a bit and then stick a passy in their mouth. So it was worth a shot. OMG! The difference of night and day...then I discovered it doesn't even take the passy. She just didn't want to be laid down and "forced" to take it. WOW! I mean who does?!? So now she is a professional medicine taker and it is SO nie and easy!

Miley also discovered she can FINALLY clap her hands! It is so much fun. She loves clapping so much and is ready to perform almost all the time!

Recently

I have had no desire to blog. Not sure why b/c I want to document things but when it comes down to it I can't come up with any thing.

Miley...is on the move and fast! She discovered the stairs at Tommi's gymnastics place and is all about climbing them. I hope she is not like me and climbs out of her crib at 18 months. Heck by then I'll just be getting her used to it. Ugh! I wish and pray I could get that baby to sleep longer than 3 hours...well actually 3 hours is a good amount for her. Yes it is that bad. But the major question is ...how are you still so rested?...I still get sleep...not enough but that is my fault. I stay up WAY too late and regret it every night.
So cakes is still only mainly nursing. She is getting more interested in food but we struggle b/c I can barely get veggies in. But we will figure it out. I gotta work harder on it. It just seems every time I do make them for her she isn't hungry and I waste them. Today she ate...pizza and blueberries for lunch (big people food) and green beans mixed with pears (baby food) which is about the only baby food she likes weird but it gets a little veggies in.
Gosh am I over the top in love with this child though. She is SO sweet and I can not get enough of her cheeks! She is open mouth eating/kissing now and will "give mommy love" by laying her head on me. Mama, bye, and uh-oh are her only "words". She will crawl away from me and say "bye" too sweet. Uh-oh is too funny she knows what it means aka when she drops something. But we make her say it way more b/c it is too funny!
Oh yeah...BIG DEAL...at almost 11 months she can FINALLY  roll over from her back haha What a dork! It is a blessing and a pain b/c she sometimes does it at night just so she can sit up, even when she is super tired.
I think walking is in our near future b/c Miley can cruise like a champ and go from one thing to the other very easily. But we will see.
She is still a super duper mommys girl...but adores daddy! I think she gets more excited to see him then me but maybe that is b/c I never leave her!
Miley FINALLY popped through her to tooth and began doing exactly what Tommi did when she got hers...GRINDING HER TEETH! Ugh! I makes such a terrible sound...yuck!
She also slaps her hands when she gets excited like Tommi did! It is too funny!

Tommi--
Oh where to begin with this one...I love this child with all my heart. She is amazing. But 3 has brought quite the tude and it is only getting worse. I could smack her sometimes (I promise I won't) She has also become super whiney. Like she forgets she knows how to use big kid words but I think that is b/c of a kid she has been hanging out with recently.
Gymnastics is going so well! She loves it and is so dedicated to doing well. She does a perfect forward roll, can walk the balance beam forward, backward, and sideways very well, she is learning jumps on the trampoline, and can do some stuff on the bar. It is so much watching her! She is gonna be quite the athlete.
She is growing up too fast...it is crazy the things she comes up with.
Her all time favorite thing to do is play house! She will do it like it is real life just as we go through the day. I LOVE it! She is so creative!
She has a HUGE heart. A friend from church was collecting toys for kids who are in need and Tommi went through her toys and gave quite a few things. I'm so proud of her. It made her sad to know some kids don't get things for Christmas. She also drew a picture for a little boy who is sick and is collecting Christmas cards.  It warms my heart to see her wanting to make others smile.
She is so awesome!

I love our little life and the crazy little girls I am raising. They are by far the coolest kids ever and best looking of course!
