Latest and Greatest

This week has gone by too fast! Our weekend was great, and we look forward to next weekend being over with. (Next Saturday is when Tyler takes the DAT) We went out to dinner on Friday night; a rare treat. The hamburger place we went to was Big's Burgers, there are burger places everywhere down here. But so far Bigs is my favorite! On Saturday we went shopping at the mall; also a rare occurrence. The saddest part is that all the clothes purchased were for Bella. Pumpkin Patch and JC Pennys were having sales, and Bella's seemingly endless supply of clothing gifted to us, is almost entirely depleted. So we stocked up on some basics... We are having the hardest time with PJ's. She grows out of them faster than we can buy them! She is only 5 months old, but we are buying 9 month size p'jamas.
We also spent all weekend at the pool. Bella loves swimming with her daddy. He throws her up, puts her under the waterfall, splashes with her, she loves it!!




Bella's newest venture is gagging. At first it was funny. We'd put ground turkey (nasty) in her mouth and watch her freak out, stick out her tongue and make funny grossed-out noises. Then it graduated to another level. Now she can make herself throw up. If she doesn't like what she is having for dinner, she gags until she throws up. If she is put down for a nap but doesn't want to sleep, she screams until she throws up. Oh, what a funny girl! Hopefully this is a phase and she won't learn to use her vomit as a weapon.

Oh my my, let me just tell you about our little adventure with Oakley...She would barf on command too! She did use it as a weapon. It got so bad she would barf all of the time..bedtime, in stores, if she didn't get what she wanted, etc. Anyway, to make a long story short, the doc told us to just ignore it! Don't clean it up right away, just pretend you didn't see it. This was very hard for me. After a few nights of sleeping in her own vomit she stopped doing it! I know, I sound like I deserve mother of the year award for letting my child sleep in her own puke, but it worked. Oakley was 18 monthes when I finally had had enough! Good luck with that!
