Home alone

Just got home from work and I am home alone! Weird. So this is what it feels like... Jamie is camping with the scouts and doing the box canyon hike tomorrow (why, I'm not bitter at all that he always takes the scouts places that we used to go do but can't find the time now... Ok maybe a little bitter) And the pooster (cuz she poos and it rhymes with roo) is spending the night at her Grammies house since I'll be clockin in another 13 hrs tomorrow. So I thought this picture is very appropriate for my feelings right now...

And here's a picture of the little goober...

And a pic of my lovies cuz I miss them and night time is not a fun time to be alone. If it was day time I could be so productive...

And just for fun.... :) hehe

Grrr, frowny face, grrr

Grrr.... I just found out today after a crazy day at work that I have to attend a meeting and a class tomorrow to learn how to handle patients safely.... Just what I wanted to do on my day off- NOT! Grrr, frowny face, grrr >:/

6 Months:)

Roo turned 6 months yesterday! Hurray! You may be wondering why I'm excited that she's growing up but I've been waiting for 6 months to come for a long time. Ya see, the ENT dr said that with laryngomalacia babies their breathing can get worse up to 6 months before the cartilage starts to get stronger. In other words her stridor should only improve from here :) It already has improved a lot but I'm not a very patient person and I would like it to be gone. Like now. So here's to hoping she continues to grow out of this "horribly scary for anyone i don't care who you are"
condition. CHEERS!

Flagstaff Extreme Fail.

A couple weeks ago Jamie and I took my sis Kelli and her friend up to flagstaff for the day so we could do flagstaff extreme. Let's just say you know you're from AZ when you plan all of your activities without any regard to the possibility that it could be raining... HELLO! It's july, monsoon season! So we get up there, pay, see the course, get harnessed up and that's when we hear the thunder and the guy tells us to take off our harnesses :( Long story short we started the drive back to Phoenix with plans to go to castles and coasters. Get there only to find out it doesn't open till 6. After we were able to set aside our severe depression we ended up seeing batman 5 minutes away from my parents house. So in case you were wondering... we drove almost 7 hours to see a movie 5 minutes down the road. Epic fail!

Unstalkable :)

I apologize for being unstalkable (yes I did just make up that word) for the last few months but let me introduce you to this little ball of fire...

I know she looks sweet and innocent now but her nickname on the streets (aka Grammie's house) is baby bobcat because she squirms so much while you're trying to hold her. She is 6 months going on 16 years :P And she is way too big for naps anymore... Oh wait she's always been too big for naps. But ya gotta admire the girl... She's got spunk and always keeps me guessing. How boring would routines be anyway?! Drinking from her bottle makes her sleepy so she likes to karate chop at it and scream at it if she's not in the mood for a nap (I assume this is what it would be like trying to feed a baby bobcat as well... Hence the nickname) Eating solids depends on her mood too (im noticing a pattern here so hopefully shes not moody when she grows up lol) she LOVEs avocados and eats pretty much anything if the timing is right. Snuggling is out of the question, she gave that up around 3 months so you have to be pretty sneaky about getting in snuggles. She loves going new places and MUST be able to see everything going on around her. She can scoot with the best of 'em, is trying desperately to crawl, and already thinks she can run. Oh wait, did I mention she doesn't like to be put down? How's a girl supposed to see EVERYTHING that's going on if she's stuck on the ground?? She's becoming more tolerant of playing on the ground now since she can wiggle herself to where she wants to be. We love our blue-eyed firecracker cuz when she flashes her little smile with her 2 bottom teefers stickin out she wraps us around her tiny little finger again and again. :)

Ps. She LOVES being outside and we will be taking her to FLAGSTAFF EXTREME once she's tall enough to go on the kids course. Until then, we will be doing the 4 hr adult course in 2 weeks if anyone would like to join us :) (those afraid of heights need not apply) Look it up! You WILL NOT be disappointed!

Hallelujah.

Roo only woke up to eat once last night at 1:00 am! And to make things even better... Jamie was the one that fed her! He He  Last night was the first night I decided to start her nightly bathtime routine (which was probably just as traumatic for me as it was for her ;) But she's been doing much much better at night time now. Could this be a light at the end of the tunnel?! :)

It's a good thing we think she's a cutie!

That's it. If you people don't feed me then I'm just gonna eat my fist!

This is Kelsie's "Do I really have to deal with these people?!" pose... her true emotions come out while sleeping lol jk

 Just chillin in my bumbo like a big girl and watchin grandma pretend like my bunny is flying... silly grammie!

It's fun getting to decide what Kelsie is telling us, I just wish I could REALLY know what she's thinking. I bet she's dying of laughter watching a couple of amatures trying to be parents.... that is when she's not crying in frustration while we're scrambling to figure out what she wants.

 Love this song!
