Diaper Change Torture – The Epic Battle

Posted by Candy January 31st, 2010

Diaper change time has turned into an Epic Battle. Every single time we lay her down, whether it be on the changing table, the floor or the bed, she will instantly start screaming and thrashing around like we are about to torture her to death. This Epic Battle has resulted in us doing any and [...]

Big girl bath

Posted by Candy January 30th, 2010

Zoey was outgrowing her baby tub. Gene would try giving her a bath in it and she would do everything she could to try to climb out of it, making bath time a real pain in the neck! So, I went to Target and bought the famous inflatable duck tub! I have heard amazing things [...]

The house of SICK!

Posted by Candy January 28th, 2010

Z and I are on the mend but boy this past couple of weeks sure were a doozie. It started with Z being extremely congested and ended with me catching her awful cold.

A sick peanut

Posted by Candy January 17th, 2010

Our poor little peanut is sick. She started developing a little cough on Friday, but it wasn’t congested. Today? It’s REALLY bad congested! She is coughing non-stop and choking when she eats anything. So far over the weekend she has coughed so much she has vomited at least 3 times :( I just hate to [...]

Zoey’s Firsts: Blowing on food

Posted by Candy January 16th, 2010

I have really started to incorporate regular table food into Z’s diet. I try to give her whatever we are eating for dinner in addition to her baby food puree. She is loving all kinds of things from peas, bread, stove top stuffing, mashed potatoes to little nibbles of hamburger or chicken. She smacks her [...]
