i have been horrible about posting lately. i don’t know why. it seems like all my thoughts are all jummbled up in my head and when i try and put them to paper they just don’t come out right.
louise has been doing pretty good. our crib tent is still working and she hasn’t been able to get out of her crib since we put it up (phew). she has managed to take her sleep sack off a few times (more than a few) and a couple of those times her diaper as well. i asked for some advice on this and kristen over at hope in virginia gave us the best advice ever, to put the sleep sack on backwards, which has been working wonderfully. so far, she hasn’t figured out how to take it off when it is on this way.
as you know, my step-mom usually takes louise once a week, sadly, her mother passed away about a week ago and was in the hospital for a few weeks before that so she hasn’t been taking louise lately. big bummer for louise since my step-mom is AMAZING with her. when she has her, all of her attention is completely focused on just her ads she absolutely LOVES being with her. we have been to visit a couple of times but i know she is missing her time with linda. i feel so bad for her, i just can’t imagine losing my mother.
speaking of my mom, she was here last week, which was really nice. we didn’t do anything to exciting, we went for walks with louise, sat out in the backyard with her, we went shopping a couple of times and ate dinner together. like i said, nothing too exciting, but it’s always nice to have her around. from here she went to visit my sister in macedonia and will therefore be back in a couple of weeks for another short visit before she heads back home to montana. it will be nice to have her here again.
last weekend i went to see the movie bully with two of my friends. it was really good but also very sad to see that so many kids are being tormented without any intervention from the schools and their administrations. i remember being teased when i was in jr. high and it was absolutely awful. i hope that he movie helps to bring about some awareness.
the other day i was changing louise and she didn’t want me to put her diaper back on, so i left it off (until she peed on the floor), she tried to pull her pants up but didn’t do a very good job, this was the result:
Here from ICLW – your pictures are ADORABLE!
thank-you!
I am so sorry for your step MIL’s loss.
Glad L has still not busted out of her sleep tent, and that you got awesome tips on her sleep sack.
Glad for your mum’s company for a few days.
L’s bum pics are adorable….LOL….she will learn to pull it up well just for the fear that her mum is taking pics.
Ouch, that is step-mom and not step-MIL
I am cracking up at her pants! I’m sorry about lindas mom, that really sucks. I’m sure it must be hard not to get that break too. Big hugs. Has the accutane started to work yet?
Emms
i think it’s starting to work, my skin is looking pretty decent right now. it’s also VERY dry. thanks for asking!
LOL at those moon-butt pics! Cute, until the pee hits the floor, right?
exactly.
Cute pix, even though she will probably be mortified that they were ever posted on the internet!
Obviously , i don’t even post anymore ever, so the fact that you even keep up at all seems good to me. I keep thinking I will start a new blog and get it all together, but my to-do list is a million miles long and it seems wrong to blog when I barely have time for the necessary stuff, like finding a preschool. Which, by the way, is insane in LA…
Anyway, post when you can, I am trying to at least read and comment!
i appreciate that, miss your blog though! i can’t BELIEVE you have to find a preschool in la, good luck! it’s pretty easy here.
Ah! I LOVE little kid butts. They are the best.
they’re so cute!
That tushie picture is beyond cute.. happy ICLW
thanks
Too cute! And yes, the getting them trousers over the butt… not easy..
Hahaha! Love the pictures! I showed them to Emma and she started laughing. And glad the reverse sleep sack trick worked for you. I can’t take full credit for it…my sister-in-law recommended it.
well i’m so thankful you told me about it!
