Discovering new things

Today we went to go see Alice In Wonderland- talk about a great movie! Dennis and I both loved it and I plan on buying it when it comes out. Camden sat on my lap pretty much through the whole thing. We only had to leave twice :). She was a great baby.


Camden has recently found her toes and it's awesome! She loves being naked too. She loves it so much in fact that whenever she is upset I will strip her down and grabs her feet and rolls side to side. It works almost as good as nursing.


She is also discovering new things everyday. The other day it was ger feet, then new toys, then she learned how to make the sun light up and play music on her play gym, her most recent discovery is that mom has a mouth just like her and it's just as fun to put her fingers in it ;). That and my hair! So here are some pictures to enjoy...

May angels lead you in.

So I've been meaning to blog for the past few days now but I can't find time to just sit down and do it. Camden is going through a phase where she's hungry all the time and if I don't feed her RIGHT THEN AND THERE then she's going to just die. I know, totally dramatic. And this happens pretty much every hour and a half. But we did finally get one of those super cool play gym mat things for her and she LOVES it!

Dennis is finally getting better. The wound is getting much smaller now and it looks healthy. Which is fantastic. He is moving around better but he still can't carry anything heavy- which is fine because we all know that I'm a beast :).

Hmmm... I feel extremely selfish right now because this post is supposed to be about one of my friends...

Well, as some of you or all of you might now, a friend of mine lost her baby a few days ago to SIDS. She's one of the ladies that I went through my pregnancy with- well kinda. There's a site- www.whattoexpect.com (which I advise everyone that is pregnant to use- and yes, even the dads can use this site!) and a forum that I frequented while I was pregnant, and still do, and that's where I met this wonderful lady. Michael was almost 5 months old when he passed and it's incredibly sad.

So for the past 2 nights I've been scared to death that something horrible would happen to Camden and I check on her often. I check on her atleast 6 times before I go to sleep. And yes, she's back to sleeping in our bedroom (well atleast until we get oil damn it). She slept with us one night because every time I tried putting her down she woke up and cried and I woke up having a nightmare thinking that she was dead in my arms. I think I about had a heartattack.

It shouldn't take a tragedy to realize what you have and how lucky you are. I will never take advantage of Camden or Dennis or Roxy or any of the rest of my family for that matter again. Or atleast I will try to not be so selfish. Especially with Camden since she's teething and she's fussy lately and all I want to do is cry because she's frustrating me! But I remind myself that I could not have her tomorrow and I snuggle her more, kiss her all the time, and play with her all day long.

Listening to music that puts you in a bad mood.

I hate when I'm in moods like this, but heck, here it goes. Today was supposed to be our lazy day but since our power went out and we're trying to save as much oil as possible- we decided to venture out. It was pretty boring and ordinary but it's always nice to get out of the house.

I no longer ever want to eat fast food again. No seriously. Do you know how much fat is in fast food? Ugh. Disgusting. It makes me want to vomit just thinking about it! I also swear that once all the junk is gone in my house- it's for sure GONE.

I also found some teething tablets for Camden. They go over better than the tylenol haha. I have to fight her to get the tylenol even in her mouth! Poor child... Well, she made some pretty hilarious faces when I made her take the tablets and attempted to spit it out. She definitely has a lot of personality. She's also turning into a little attention whore. No seriously, she has some issues with attention.

Ugh, I don't feel like writing anymore. My mood has gone to shit. Night.

Attempt number 2= FAIL.

I'm on attempt number 2 of putting Camden down for the night and I have failed. Yes, I said it, I failed. It seems she can't sleep unless someone is holding her. I must break her of this habit or I will go crazy!!!!! I'm already sleeping with her from about 7am until whenever she needs to be up which is somewhere between 10am and 11am.

Since the computer is set up in the nursery, she is now laying in her crib and watching her mobile. Thank God for mobiles! She loves that thing.

Well, I have yet to work out today! I know, I know, bad Caitlyn! But we were snowed in today. 6-8in! Holy cow! You know what that means? I shoveled the sidewalk alllll by myself :) yay me. I also threw snow at Roxy. She loved it. Since we're liable for anyone that falls in front of our house if we don't shovel and put salt down, that's what I had to do at 4:30 today. It was cold by the way...

A friend sent me a youtube video of a cardio work out that I'm going to check out as soon as I can get this little munchkin to bed. Or I might just pass since it's now 11:30 and I too need rest. I was good about eating today though! Kinda... I had an apple instead of these cool little cheesecake cupcakes that the g-ma in law made. And I ate a chicken pattie and some asparagus instead of a frozen dinner. Go me! I'm also trying to drink a lot more water. Hopefully this will help with my milk supply and I can actually store some!

I decided that the hubby and I need a date night. This is a serious matter.

Uh-oh the mobile stoped!
