week 27

Good Morning Everyone! I know this is early but we are headed out for our first vacation as a family of three tomorrow. We are going to South Carolina. Should be a great time and I am sure there will be tons of great picture opportunities along the way. :)
Tenille spent a lot of time this week getting better. We don't hear the raspy breath much anymore and are almost done with the antibotics. :) Once she started feeling better there was no stopping her for Christmas. I am pretty sure she knows to smile for the camera now. She will perk right up if I bring it out.

Santa visited before Christmas and Tenille did great with him. She didn't cry at all. She got a new outfit and promised to be good for the next year. :)

She absolutely loved the presents. I guess I should say the paper and bows. She put everything in her mouth and smiled. We had to rearrange our current toy situation so we could make room for a high chair and other great toys.

On the developemental front, she is trying VERY hard to pull herself up to sitting. This makes it difficult to change her but she laughs the same.

We tried prunes this week. She thinks they are ok. We only ate a little bit because I didn't want crazy poopy diapers. :) We only have peaches, bananas, and squash to go. Squash is up next I think. Today I gave her some pears and you should have seen her face. She didn't like them one bit. She puckered up her lips and made her eye brows do weird things. Funny girl! Hope everyone is doing well!

A visit from Santa

Santa stopped by last night to tell Tenille to behave so he can come back on Christmas Eve with lots of presents. She did SO well! She didn't cry or anything! She even jingled Santa's bells.

week 26

Well this has sure been a week. We went to the doctor Wednesday because Tenille's lips were turning blue, she was having retractions, and her nose was flaring. Poor little girl, she couldn't breathe! So after the doctor my mom and I went to the hospital to have a chest x ray and an RSV wash done on Tenille. End result: double ear infections, no RSV, and pneumonia. So I took off of work Thursday and Jason and I stayed home with her. School was canceled Friday so we could stay home again. She is starting to sound a little better. We give her 5 breathing treatments a day, which take like 20 minutes. Poor thing. Through the whole thing she is still smiling at us so that has to count for something. :) It was so nice when I got to the hospital. Jason Aunt Bobbie checked us in. Then 10 seconds later, (Not kidding!) my sister in law, Heather was there. It was nice to have family with me during that time. Other than that, she has discovered eddy the elk in the basement and doesn't know what to think about him. We have tried green beans and she likes them better than peas. She is sleeping pretty well all things considered. Oh, and she loves tissue paper. She is helping me wrap presents.






One picture is of her and her dinosaur breathing mask. J picked it out. :) Also, Tenille is learning how to rock in the rocking chair by herself!

Doctor Visit

Well we went to the Doctor and the hospital on Wendesday night. They took a chest x - ray and did a test for RSV. The RSV came back negative and they think she has pneumonia. We started antibotics and more breathing treatments. She seems to be doing a little better tonight. I get to call the doctor Friday to update him. I hope these drugs work. What a scary thing!

week 25

I guess you can tell how our week went by the fact that this email is coming out Wednesday! :)
I have been sick all week and Tenille has been "out of sorts". She has been fussy and just plain not happy. :( Her sleeping has gotten better. Thank you Lord! We started apples this week and will start green beans soon. So far sweet potatoes are the favorite!She has eaten two jars of food at a time along with cereal! Then other days she eats a little and is done. So I am not sure what that is about.

She has been getting upset when something is hard for her to do or is out of here reach! When all else fails, if you sing, "You are my Sunshine" she will usually calm down. Now when I lost my voice this week, that trick didn't work out so hot!

The day care ladies are starting to call her wheezy because of her breathing. I sure wish we could get this figured out. :(

Our biggest accomplishment this week is that we started taking baths in the "big girl tub". She absolutely loves bath night, or swimmy swimmy, as we call it. She chases her toys all around and smiles and laughs.

Our big girl did SO great! Yep, I think she is cute!

week 24

This week we had a two hour delay on Tuesday. It was so nice to let Tenille sleep in and I got to read a book! :) When she did get up at 8:15 and yes we slept all night (Thank God!), I fed her and then let her play in her exersaucer. I went in the other room and noticed that she got really quiet. So I went out to see what she was doing, she was stareing out the window at the snow. It was so cool to watch her watch snow falling for the first time! She loved it. This is her watching the snow fall.

Friday night was her Christmas play at daycare. Her three other babies from the daycare were dressed like animals. She was adorable but thought the costumes were a little weird. She kept looking at the other babies like, "hey, what is that silly thing on your head?"

We tried Sweet Potatoes on Saturday and Jason and I have decieded that they are a very messy vegtable! It doesn't help when she spits or sneezes on you! We got our Christmas pictures / 6 month pictures taken on Saturday as well. What a CRAZY time to get pictures! ahhhhh! We got them finished and of course she looked cute!
