Fun Weekend
Let the Holiday fun begin!!! and bring on the cold weather :)
Cold weather is here (most days). This is my homemade version of my favorite breakfast (Starbucks coffee and their oh-so-yummy perfect oatmeal). I enjoyed this while Stephanie watched Sesame Street for the first time.....she loved the puppets, got distracted by all the people on there.....Elmo was a hit though (what kid doesn't like Elmo??)
Here are some cute pics of Stephanie....followed by some video that shows her little personality developing. We get to spend the ENTIRE week together this week! I had to take two days off (no babysitter) and had the rest off......It's going to be the best week ever!
We decorated while Daddy was at the movies with Gampa....Stephanie thought the tree was pretty cool (but she hasn't messed with it.....yet)

Silly girl crawling under the buffet....she was so proud of herself (until she got stuck, see the video below)
She and Boulder are best buds.....they are so cute together!!!
Look close....can you see those teeth!!! The two top ones cut through, the top side ones are almost through.
This is her new thing....hanging upside down. She cracks me up!Enjoy the video....her little personality is really coming out when it's time to eat, explore or I tell her no. She only has two "no's" in her life, no taking Mommy's glasses and no opening cabinets (we are putting locks on them this week). She is such a little person!!!

Good News and Bad, Cancer among Friends
The Good news: It seems Tricia is cancer free....check it out Here
Bad news: My friend Juan's brother, Richard is in his last few days of his battle with cancer. He has a wife and 4 year old son. He is surrounded by his friends and family, covered in prayer and being cared for by hospice. Please keep him and his family in your thoughts and prayers the next few days. He has fought long and hard, his battle is coming to an end and he is looking forward to being with our Lord soon......
He has a wonderful extended family and church family that will look after his wife and son.....praise God for that!!! He has 13 or 15 brothers.....his little boy will have wonderful, positive role models as he grows up :)

still sick
Stephanie is still not back to herself. She had four very "bad" diapers today....but not throwing up (thank you God, that's progress :) She has been on Soy formula and I'm beginning to wonder if that's part of the problem. My friends son had this and the soy made it worse....as soon as she put him back on regular his diapers returned to normal. I also made a HUGE batch of her favorite....sweet potatoes and chicken. I'm hoping that will help her tummy return to normal (and for her WONDERFUL "sweet potato poops" to return. The good news is Josh was at the academy yesterday and today....so he didn't work last night or tonight. He was able to help with some of the night time fussiness (at 4am) and will be able to be with her tomorrow morning. I will only have to take off half a day tomorrow.....so much better then having to take a whole day. I have all next week off so we will have plenty of time to keep a close eye on her and get her tummy back on track.
She is acting pretty normal, a bit quiet but plays and eats good. She LOVES her cheerios and puffs, kinda picky about the babyfood and eating smaller amounts of her bottle (I really think her stomach has shrunk). She likes to snuggle a bit more than normal.....which I love (I'm not gonna lie :) She's such an active, independent baby....it's been nice for her to want to sit and snuggle with mommy.
Well just wanted to update all.....I'll post Twitter updates if/when things change. Look for some SUPER FUN pictures over the next week! I'll have the time to take them and can't wait to show you all how big she is getting! My goal....get a picture of her MOUTHFUL of teeth!!! two on top (almost 4) and two on bottom....she looks like such a kid, not a baby :(
Much love and many thanks for all your prayers!

Few New Pictures
Here are what was left on my camera. A VERY cute picture of Stephanie and her GG. Papa and GG bought this precious rocking horse for Stephanie when she was born.....it's still a little big but we are getting closer! Go Cowgirl!
Stephanie and her Gampa watching a movie.....he came to visit his sick little girl. She sat and watched movies for two hours :( She is NEVER that still!!! The dr has me giving her 1tsp of pedialite every 5 minutes until she is barf free for 4 hours....then she gets 2tsp every 5 min for another 4 hours......8 hours barf free and she can have formula. So far as soon as I introduce the formula back she starts to throw up again by the 2nd or 3rd bottle (which are only 4oz at this point). No fun! Can't figure out if it's a bug or teething.....I really think it's teething! 4 teeth at once....that's a big job!
Later in the evening she was watching Nemo and playing with her toothbrush....I'm sure it felt wonderful on her little gums!!
I hate having a kiddo that doesn't feel well.....but do enjoy the extra snuggle time I get :) Today she is feeling great.....but still getting sick if she has too much formula :( I wish these teeth would just cut through so we could move on (until the next ones decide to come in ;) Bummer my sweet Little never cuts just one.....she cut the bottom two together and now the top FOUR together....over achiever :)

Love this Dog
This is Stacy (the BEST dog trainer ever!!! who helped LOADS with all of our dogs). This is her dog Amos. I am IN LOVE with him! Josh and I seriously talk about getting a Great Dane one day....here's why: they are HUGE so people are scared of them, but they are lazy and super gentle! Amos would lay down and "play" with Dakota when Dakota was a puppy....so fun! Here he is now:
