My camera Sucks

In case you noticed all the videos I posted have a mans voice in the background not normal to my blog... The man behind the video is most obvious Rob. Which is a nice way to mix it up but the real reason is all of my videos from my (retarded, piece of crap, rotten, non reliant, unfocused, to dark to see, did I mention retarded) camera SUCK! I need a new camera badly for Christmas... Santa Baby will you bring me the new one I have on my list??? I haven't been naughty, and my friends tell me I am nice. Will I find it under the Christmas tree???

Shopaholic!!!

I am having surgery in a few days so I needed to get ALL my Christmas shopping done before Thanksgiving. I think my crazy shopping habits may have rubbed off on Olivia. Olivia was given this shopping cart as a gift and let me just say it is the BEST toy ever for a 10 month old she loves it. OK so a little off subject but for the past 4 months since Olivia started crawling she has been restricted to the living room of our home. She is blocked in for the most part the majority of the day unless we are upstairs or eating, so when she began to "SHOP" this all changed... She is out of the cage so to speak and let me just say her new discoveries are fabulous... Check out my Shopaholic go baby go! I guess I am teaching her what I am good at, as Rob like to say!

Sleep OVER!!!

Olivia stayed the night at my moms house on Friday night. This is not the first time she has had this great adventure to grammy's but it has been awhile. She became a little attached to mama and her bed a few months back. So the last time Grammy tried to have a sleep over with little miss, she wanted NO part of it and neither of them slept. So we took a break from out monthly overnight at grammys for about 2 months. My mom thinks it is because she did not want to be in the pack and play anymore. So my cousin is being super cool and let us borrow her crib since she is in between babies now. So as a trial run for next week when Olivia will stay at Grammy's for the 3 days she went on Friday. So this morning I woke up at 8:30 that's right 8:30 it was a sleep OVER for me too and it was simple fabulous. Thanks mom we appreciate all you do for us you are the best mommy EVER!

Stairway to heaven???

Now that Olivia can climb the stairs, I found this out on a fluke and not so pleasant experience. I am not thrilled at all, I have a gate but still, I think stairs are horrible and non the less I now want a one story house out of pure fear. However when Olivia whines enough I will let her embark on this new found hobby, check it out.

Please Pray!

SO I spoke to my aunt this morning and received some VERY upsetting news. My 2nd cousin had a little girl about 2 months before I had Olivia. I am having a hard time even thinking of how it must be for her today. Her daughter has always gotten lots of bruises from no where and is always lethargic, well last Sunday she had a high fever so they rushed her to the emergency room. After extensive tests she has been diagnosed with Leukemia. They had to do an emergency surgery to run a tube from her head to her heart, I believe it is for all the medication that she will receive. She will have the tube in until she is at least two. I am sick over this. I feel helpless and I can't imagine the feeling of a mother in this situation, I pray for her quick and painless recovery. The thought of how it must be to have this happen to your innocent little girl, is unthinkable. Sometimes GOD does things that I can't understand. I wish there was something to say to her to help her through this time of great sorrow. I am at a loss for words. I am getting Olivia ready so we can go to church and pray for GOD to keep her safe and strong and to get through her treatment so that she can be a little girl like she deserves to be...PLEASE PRAY!

It takes a dads touch

Olivia HATES eating baby food. I have tried EVERYTHING you can think of, she goes on spurts some days she opens REALLY wide and has fun but the majority of the time she closes her lips so tight it is so frustrating. Especially since the doctor told me we need to cut back on bottles to no more then 24 ounces a day...Anyhow this morning I think Rob could sense my frustration, so he took over and I stepped out side to cool off, I feel like a bad mom cause I can't get my kid to eat. (I know I am being to hard on myself but it is what it is) So Rob gets her to open her mouth every time and she ate 1/2 a jar of pears, he went to jump in the shower so I thought I would give it a try, I made some Oatmeal she ate it all, so I made a little more and she downed it... Sometimes I think she knows how to frustrate me and she thinks it is funny, because she laughed as her daddy began to feed her. I know this sounds crazy! Anyway I think every now and again it takes a dads touch!
