Out of the House

So all of this mommy back to work stuff is exhausting for a little baby like me! Daddy dropped me off at Auntie Cocos this morning cause mommy had to work AGAIN! This is the second day she had to spend away from me. I made Auntie Coco tell mommy that I am doing wonderfully and I am a perfect angel so that mommy stops worrying about me.
Gramma Nanci only had to work until 3 today, so after work she came and got me from Auntie C's house. She squeezes me a lot...I think that she likes to see me! We went up to her house and guess who I got to see - Auntie Summer! Tell me this isn't a busy day!! Auntie Summer has been gone the last couple weeks so when mommy told me I was going to get to see her today I was very excited.
And just to make mommy miss me even more and want to be with me more, I am starting to smile more and more. Mommy missed a bunch of smiles today while she was at work. But she gets to spend the WHOLE day with me tomorrow. I don't know who is more excited, me or mommy!!

First Day with Auntie Courtney

So today mommy had to go back to work. She was VERY VERY sad about it. Last night she just cried and cried with me. Thank god daddy wasn't home cause he probably would have teased her! Daddy dropped me off at Auntie CoCo's this morning. I got to spend the whole day there. I think Maverick loves me very much because he kept watching me all day. Auntie Corie came over to visit too!
I think that maybe mommy was annoying Auntie CoCo today. She kept texting her and sending her emails. Maybe she will get better over the next couple weeks - but I don't know about that! Mommy was SO excited to see me when she got home today! I am starting to smile for real a little bit now too...so I gave mommy the BIGGEST smile yet tonight and she started to cry again!!! I think it made her really happy and sad both at the same time cause she was laughing and crying all at once.
Here are some pictures of my first day at Auntie CoCo's I am kind of making silly faces- mommy says I get to go back there again in the morning...

...you asked for it

Ok - so I do understand that I have been absolutely terrible at updating the Carleigh page. Maybe Carleigh will have to take over the page for me. However, unfortunatley we have not had a very happy baby lately. Although I have to admit she has been a little better the last couple days.
So Carleigh has acid reflux. We have tried EVERY single food available and none of them have helped her. So the Dr started her on Zantac about 2 weeks ago now. And of course that did not help either. Just this past Weds we went back to the doctor and we are now trying Prilosec AND Zantac together. She seems a little better but gets cranky when the meds start to wear off at night. So I think we still have some work to do.
Carleigh has to go for an upper GI scan on March 2nd (Mommy is TERRIFIED). They will feed her a dye and do a scan to see what is causing the reflux and how she is refluxing etc. This will make sure that it isn't anything developmentally wrong etc. Then we have an appointment with the GI specialist on March 25th (the earliest we could get) maybe I should become a GI specialist!!
So Carleigh has gotten pretty big over the past couple weeks. She is finally fitting into her clothes!! And they are absolutely adorable. Last Weds at the Dr she was 10 lbs 9 oz!!!
So there is a VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY sad day coming up way too soon. Tuesday Mommy has to go back to work :o( Needless to say I am VERY upset about this. My OB probably thinks that I am crazy. She asked me about work when I went in for my follow up and I started sobbing uncontrolably in her office. Then I think I may have had a mini panac attack...right after I left my chest got all tight, I could hardly breathe and I could not stop crying!! So no...if you couldn't tell I REALLY don't want to go back to work.

Well here are some pictures of Carleigh - and since you are all asking...you get to see the crabby baby that we have been dealing with lately!!

This is pretty much the only time she hasn't been crying lately - when she is sleeping!

Even More Visitors!!

We just love having visitors. Even though I was kind of a cranky baby this morning. Now that I am on my new formula I stay awake much longer, and am much more alert - it's pretty fun. But that means that I get pretty tired too and I have to take naps otherwise I get cranky...which was the issue this morning!! You would think that because I am awake so long during the day that I would sleep well at night...not quite yet!!

Here is a picture of me and daddy today...

In the Market



So we are in the market for a valentine! Carleigh and Mommy took a trip to mommy's work today for a visit, and we had a lot of offers for valentines for Carleigh...but she is a princess...we must be picky!!! We visited with everyone and had lunch with Alice - it was wonderful!


And of course we had to stop up and see Gramma Jojo since we were there. I think she had a lot of fun showing the princess off to everyone!


Tomorrow we have even more visitors coming to the house! YAY


And we got some VERY good news today too...more friends for Carleigh!!! YAY

Very Bad Mommy

Ok - so I do realize that it has now been over a week since I have posted....very bad mommy!!! We have been pretty busy though - and believe it or not this little girl makes mommy very exhausted!! But we're back haha

SO Monday Carleigh Jeanne had a visit from the Hayes girls! It was very fun! The girls were so excited to hold her - and Amy brought dinner for mom & dad YUM! Mommy and daddy almost had their first night out without Carleigh Monday. Gramma Nanci came over on her snowmobile and we got all dressed up and gramma was watching Carleigh - we were gunna go for a ride, and then out to dinner. Well we didnt make it too far!! Her sled broke :o( I feel SOOO bad!!

It has been pretty nice - daddy hasn't had to do too much plowing lately so Carleigh and daddy have gotten to take a few naps!! Today is going to be one of those days too I think!
