Things have been quite busy around here. Darin's been traveling a lot, i've been helping a friend with her business, all the launch parties for kadooment are happening and costumes are coming out......it's just been a crazy month needless to say. We're jumping Kadooment this year again! Our costumes ordered and all!! Laura will be here and we got her costume ordered as well! This year Kadooment season has been a lot of fun and only going to get better as July comes around!
Gemma has been keeping us on our toes....she's figured out to open the pantry when she wants something, or if I ask if she's tired she goes to the stairs, if she wants something on like her shades she brings them to us, we can always tell when a cat or dog is on tv because she freaks out, it's always the little things she does that i'm so impressed by, like how she knows to hold onto me when she's putting shorts or pants on and stands on one leg lol I don't know why it's so neat, it just is, trust me! We've moved from baby snacks to big kid snacks....no more bottles either, and she's almost mastered the stairs. She's into everything that's NOT a toy, like boxes I bring home from a store similar to Costco, those are her favorite!! I'm pretty sure her favorite part of the day is eating breakfast and seeing Darin come home after work (she does this crazy dance)....we still play with the neighborhood kids a few nights a week and she loves that as well, the big kids don't seem to mind either. Her new favorite show is Bubble Guppies, she says bubble bubble bubble over and over when it comes on, it's pretty funny watching her. She continues to chat and go on about stuff so much, that I wish I had earplugs sometimes lol.
She had her first "sick" experience 2 weeks ago, while Darin was gone, of course it happens then. She ran a super high fever and slept in my bed so I could keep an eye on her temp. I sent the dr a text (yes, you can do that here) and she let me know what to do and if I needed to come in and to text her if it got any higher or it lingered. Her temp did go down but stayed a low grade so we had a few good naps in the a/c the next day and then later I wrote the dr and we were told to come in the following day. Gem had a bacterial throat infection!! Some puss in her throat even! So, off to get some antibiotics we went....her temp broke within an hour of her new meds and she was well on her way to recovery. Seeing an uncomfortable sick miserable baby is no fun, you only know worry and exhaustion at that point. Gem is no snugger so I was sure the few snugs she offered that day, I made plenty of room on the couch for.
