is sleeping! shes been wakeing up around 7 and as soon as she eats she falls right back to sleep
today she slept till 11!!!!!!!
and then we took her to the mall with us and she slept the entire time!

shes been awake since we got home but i figure if i can get her to sleep around 5 or 6 and she sleeps til 10 then she will have slept about 15 hours today!

i got her this nature sounds CD with waterfall noises,ocean sounds,birds,etc. so maybe that will help. instead of the tv ive just been playing a dido CD whenever she gos to sleep Laughing


yes oh and her next PED appt is on the 28th she has to go get her 2 months shots Sad 4 of them Sad
but i bet she about 10 pouns by now. shes getting too heavy for me to carry her around for long periods of time

ive been crying when she gets her shots Laughing
have you ever seen a baby scream so loud that they dont even scream? like she screams and then the noise just stops but her mouth is wide open and then a few seconds later she busts out crying? well thats what she does.

if that made any sense LOL


ive been doing good with sleep. and now since i have her sleeping from 11 or 12 until about 7 i can sleep basically all through the night. and NOW shes sleeping during the day too im trying to gte her into a nap time routine like every one suggested. that way i can get more done around the house

on a side note travis started helping me do laundry Shocked

and the weather here is freezing and foggy. but tomorrow we are supposed to get ice and *maybe* a little snow. so today we went out to the mall and took krissy with us and while we were there we went to build a bear to look at teddy bears because we want to get her one for valentines day

thats good news! (about her sleeping not the shots Sad ) I dunno if shes to young or not cuz i cant remember my kids being that small lol but ask your Ped if you can give her baby tylenol 30 mins b4 her shots and see if that helps. Actually Im pretty sure the doc gave macy some b4 her 2 mo shots...

O and YAY for Travis helping with laundry!
Check online for build-a-bear coupons b4 you make her one, normally there is a $5 off $25 or more ones and that place gets expensive when you add in clothes and such

yeah we actually have the baby tylonol liquid because when she got her second hep B shot they said sometimes they can get a fever so she said we could give her that if she did end up getting a fever. but she didnt thank god Smile

yeah ill do that for thr build a bear thing
travis got me one last x mas Smile and i want to get krissy one too. she will love it when she gets older and i can tell her mommy and daddy made it for her. we are trying to have a simple valentines day this year. ill probably get travis some choclate and then we will go to dinner. nothing big though. id rather save our money for march when my birthday rolls around and then marley fest in april which can get expensive too.

Yeah, the screaming thing makes complete since. Lol!
Are you getting her ears pierced while she is a baby (sorry if they already are and I am just dumb)

That is awesome that she is slowly getting into a routine! That will be excellent for you. I know it was suggested, but wasn't sure what the outcome was, but did you look into any mommy and me classes?

Oh and I remember you saying something about a job? What was the verdict there? Sorry...I am waaaaaaay behind!! Lol!

So since Monday I have had a stupid earache and started last night in the other ear...grrr!!! It is my first earache...so I went to the doc last night after work and he said that they aren't infected, yet...but they are "bulging" as the doc said...Lovely, right? Lol! So today...I feel like a$$crackers!

Weather here is freaking freezing!!!!!
We gave our ring bearer and flower girls Build-A-Bears as their gifts for being in our wedding! They were adorable!!! I hope you found a cute one for Kristen!!!

nah im not piercing her ears. i think if she wants them done one day when shes old enough to understand what it is then she can get them done.

yep i have an interview on the 28th right after her PED appointment im going straight there! travis will probably stay home with krissy since she will just ahve had her shots Sad i dont think id want to take her anywhere right after. but i hope i get it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yay for sleeping! Shots suck, I can't be in the room when Kaylee gets hers because I probably wouldn't let the nurse touch her lol, Kaylee goes back next month for the second half of her flu shot Sad

Cheyenne doesn't go back until Feb. 20. That will be her 6 month checkup and she will have to have more shots. Sad I think I cry more than she does. Shots suck. I can't believe my baby is going to be 6 months old is less than a month. She's growing WAY to fast.

Shots do suck for babies, I thought when my son got his he would scream like crazy but instead he barely cried at all and when he did it was for about 15 seconds. Your luck Krissy sleeps so much, wish my little man would lol. Ahhh maybe in time.
