Come Out, Come Out Wherever You Are
Ok, maybe my plea on Monday wasn't pathetic enough so today I am posting a cute little graphic. I know who a lot of you are, don't make me come after you ...
Since I managed with my last post to bring people to tears (sorry!) I thought that today I would bore everyone with holiday tales.
Addy and I flew to Vermont after Christmas to meet my side of the family. It was crazy. It was fun. Addy got a little overstimulated at times (and so did I) but all in all she was a champ. I didn't bother with the stroller in the airport, only the Baby Bjorn and a backpack which was perfect and left my hands free for Starbucks. The only problem was that sometime in Vermont Addy discovered how much fun screeching can be. Consequently on my return trip I felt like I had a cockatiel strapped to my chest. She has not stopped screeching since.
Addy caught her first cold in Vermont and met my brother's first pediatrician who pumped her full of drugs to keep it from developing into an ear infection. She recovered quickly, I on the other hand am still recovering from the same cold as are my parents. We're blaming my brother for sharing the wealth.
Teething has become our number one focus with drool everywhere and frequent bowel movements (from every other day to three times a day - yippee!). We got Addy some numbing gel stuff but she didn't seem to like it past the first couple of times that I put it on her. I then tried it on myself. The stuff BURNS if it gets on the inside of your mouth and it numbs your tongue too. We're using it as a last resort. I have given her Tylenol a couple of times when she seemed especially fussy. I hate giving her drugs so mostly I just stick things in her mouth and hope they help. Last night it was a pickle. It's not in her diet but since she wasn't going to ingest it, I figured that it was fine. She definitely seemed to enjoy it.
Speaking of diets, Addy started rice cereal on Sunday. She has had a tablespoon every night since. She does well with it and consumes just about the whole thing. I don't love breastfeeding but I know that it will be hard to cease being the sole provider of her nourishment. At least now The Husband can finally feed her.
Alright, Crazy Pants is awake now and I think I have another messy diaper to change. The bright side of this is that our new washer and dryer arrived today (oh so sexy) so I am actually excited about washing the next load of diapers. How boring is that?

Boo! Did I scare you?
I feel your (teething) pain.
I am just saying HI since I have been out of commission for the past few....school has me busy alot of the time and I forget to write comments.
Tell Addy to stop being such a baby and suck it up with the teething...Geez. Make her an anbesol/baby tylenol cocktail. Oh, wait, she is a baby...I guess its ok to be screechy. What's my excuse?
Also, tell your brother I still love and adore him and think about him day & night. Or just HI, would suffice.
Hi to you, Hi to THE HUSBAND and HI to NOLA. I miss it everyday. Oh god, all I want for my birthday is Dick & Jennys. Go eat there for me, Ok? And steal me a menu. And tell Jenny I HI as well.
Ok, I posted. I feel better now. Call me sometime lady. Or else we will be in a huge fight.
I love washing and folding the diapers for my eight week old as well. So much more fun than regular laundry.
I'm delurking, btw. Hi!
