Christmas 2011

Wow she got a lot of stuff. She had fun helping hand out presents and she had fun unwrapping them. She would need me to tear a piece first and then she would be able to get it all. :) she loved all her presents. She has been playing all day long not stopping for long whatsoever. I am glad I was able to give her a good Christmas and thank you to everyone that helped :)

Counselor and 18month check up

So Tuesday the counselor came to see how gen acts. She actually acted out and I'm not sure that the counselor liked the way I discipline her. She thinks I need to find a way for gen to direct her anger. And since gen doesn't put two words together or say many words at all she is going to refer us to someone in the school district that will help gen if she qualifies. It will even pay for free pre school if she needs it. Gen did end up biting me, something she has never done before. It was weird but I think it will help.

She also decided to play with some of her wrapped presents. She didn't open any though. Well then mom was wrapping more presents and she opened one lol.

The dr said she weighs 21.4 and is 30.6 inches. I think she is going through a growth spurt by the way she acts, sleepy, eating a lot and cranky. Well the dr said to not tell her no and to ignore her when she throws a fit then when she is done to hug her and say welcome back. And when she won't listen to let her learn that she could hurt herself and to let her make choices. We will see how it works. The dr also gave her a new cream for her eczema.

Oh my

Oh my goodness she is going to drive me nuts. She is everywhere and into everything. She never stops. Aaarrrgggghhhh.
When she can she will pinch and scratch his rys face :( she moves his head too. She also takes his diaper off if she can.
She has been pulling her pull up down and looking at her private part or showing people.
When I'm home she wants me all the time. She loves when I come home or get in the car when they pick me up. She goes mom mom mom and gives me a hug and it's so sweet.

Santa

OMG we went to bass pro and waited in line to see santa for a little over an hour. Genevieve got to color a picture, ride the carasel and then when it came to sitting on santas lap for a picture she got scared so he suggested that I sit on his lap with her on my lap. It worked!!

Genevieve has a little cold, so I took her to the dr tuesday but the dr isn't worried yet cause it is a common cold. if she isnt better soon though she will be goin back in. Hopefully she gets better. She is also cutting 3 teeth.

She is starting to get over not talking to her Daddy. It will all work out in time. It breaks my heart though.

Funny stuff Genevieve does

So lately Genevieve has been doing some funny stuff. I will keep track of it in this blog and when I feel it is long enough I will start a new one :)

She likes to say NO and push your hands off the cart no matter where they are

She will wave at everyone in the house even when she isn't going anywhere

At the dinner table she will do see food

She has pointed at Lanzs bike and then waved at me, when I told her she wasn't going bye bye on the bike she shook her head yes

She will get up and want to check on rylan or she will go sit by him and smile

Lately she has had to shut the bedroom door behind her when she leaves it.

I asked Genevieve where we got we from and she said I don't know

I asked Genevieve what she got me for my birthday and she looked at her sippy

She got a wipe and wiped her baby and went EEEWWW and then showed my mom

She says no and when you say excuse me she says nnnnnoooooo

Laying with me in the morning when I'm still tired and rubbing my cheek

I was playing with her and she hit something with her foot when I was picking her up so when she was on my side she told me no and smacked me

She will pat bubba and say "I know" after she hurts him

She will say bye when going night night

She will go running to the room when she hears rylan saying rylan

She will point at a picture of me on the wall and say mom

A picture of me and her she will point at it and say mom, point at me and say baby and point at rylan

She will get a wipe and wipe rylan up when we are feeding him, even when he's not done

She will go get me my blanket and pillow if I say I'm tired or she thinks I need it

Check up

Genevieve went in for a check up so we could get her medicine for her eczema and she weighs 22 pounds and she looks good. The dr wants her to have consistency in her life so I got a note.
She is getting better about sleeping at. Night and not screaming her head off. Some nights she only wakes up once or twice. And some nights she wakes up three times or more. It's aggravating but we will get there. She goes to bed with about a 1/4 a cup of milk and I close the door and she's out within 15 mins.
She loves to tell people NO. She hits people when you push her in a shopping cart and she constantly tries to move your hand.
She's turning into a big girl. And it's sad and breaks my heart. She's very good with her brother lately. She has wanted to make sure she knows where he is. If he isn't in the living room she will grab my hand and pull me info the bedroom and tap on the bassinet. And I have to show her he's in there and ok before she will leave the room. :)

So great

Genevieve's first Halloween was great. First we went and seen grandma angel and she talked and visited some :) then we went trick or treating and she wouldn't say much at first but loved getting candy. Then she would say hi or oh no and wave bye :) everyone thought she was the cutest :) she got a bucket load of candy. On the 1st we went to the ear dr and her ears are GREAT :) the best that he has ever seen them. And her hearing was great too. I was so glad to hear that.

She has been waking up screaming for like three hours at a time :( so the other night I was just trying to deal with it and she kept hitting me, yanking my hair and screaming at me so I finally went and slept on the couch an left her in the room. Well she went to sleep perfectly fine. So I have been puttin her in the room with her sippy and she goes to her bed and goes right to sleep. No screaming or anything :) she wakes up some but sometimes she goes right to bed and if she doesn't then I go to the living room.

Tonight I told her to throw something away and she said oh no jojo lol. :) so I guess she wanted jojo to throw it away it was funny. Then she was in te room with my mom and I guess when she heard my step dad say I'm coming she said oh no and then when he would leave she would wave.

She's getting so big :) and she's talkin so much better :) I love my princess a lot

First snow

Genevieve got to play in her first snow today! She didn't know what to think of it. And she wouldn't really touch it until I handed it to her! She looked so cute though.

Really!!

Monday I took Genevieve to the Ear Dr to see why she wasn't talking. Well she has wax in her right ear and so we got ear drops and we go back on the 1st to see if she is doing any better. So far she has started talking already! It excites me and makes me so happy. Tuesday we went to the dentist and she bit the dentist, but no cavities.
Friday we went and seen my little sister and Genevieve loved her. It was so cute to watch her. And she also had fun with London!! It was nice to see her interact like that.

FUN and TERROR

Genevieve has turned into a little terror. She pulls hair, hits. screams, throws things, drops when your holding her hand and usually doesn't take a nap or if she does it isn't a long one. She is mean to her brother too. She pulls his eyes open, pats him hard, puts his arms or legs where she wants them or drags or picks him up, she scares me but I know she doesn't know better. When he cries I ask her "Whats wrong with bubba, is bubba ok?" and she will go to him and say "SSSHHH" and pat him.
Wednesday October 12, 2011 we went to Baby Bounce at the Library. We got to sing songs, read book and play with toys with kids her age. She seemed to really like it. But she does need to learn to share and not scream.
She loves to do video chats with her Daddy. She kisses the computer screen and everything. Thursday October 13th, he called my phone while we were doing a video chat and she hung up on him almost right away, but when JoJo called it took awhile before she hung up on her. I wish that he would talk to her more like a person and just have a conversation, like tell her about his day, what he is going to be doing the next day stuff like that instead of the same thing over and over again. That way maybe she can learn new words and learn to have a conversation also. :)

Molars

My poor baby has been cutting her molars for a month now. :( She is such a cranky butt sometimes and then sometimes she is the funniest little girl in the world. She woke up at 4am this morning and stayed up till 6 screaming most the time. She is good with her little brother, makes sure he is okay when he is crying and just always seems to have to be right by him. We had a play date Thursday with Auntie Karla, Auntie Gen, Logan, Marley, Nico and Khyrra. Genevieve had a lot of fun with all of them though she isn't as big as Logan or Nico. But her Aunt Gen made sure she was able to do stuff also!! She ate some mac and cheese stuff too before we left which she seemed to love! She was one of the good ones too! Afterwards she came home and slept cause she was tired, I woke her up so she didn't sleep all night and then she went to bed around 10pm.

I'm ready for her to sleep through the night. She had been doing self soothing in her play pen at night but all she does is scream and it breaks my heart. My Mom rearranged my room so that she could sleep in her toddler bed again and I am taking the play pen down tomorrow. I will have to make sure my door is totally closed at night but she doesn't need to feel caged in.

Where he go

I came home Saturday-September 17th 2011-and Genevieve woke up when she heard my voice and asked "where he go" and pointed at Rylan's bassinet. I had to show her that he wasn't in there. She then went all over the apartment looking for her brother. Her and I spent some good time together that night. :) Sunday morning her and I went and saw Rylan and she didn't want him out of her sight what so every. We took my step dad to work and then went to Burger King for time alone! She had a fund time eating and flirting with people. Monday I spent the day at the hospital so she was with Grandma and Grandpa. She even got to go to Uncle Lanzs school to do Cupcakes for his birthday and then go to the library. Her and I shared dinner since she wouldn't leave my plate alone then she went to bed. Tuesday with everything going on with Rylan I didn't get to see her much, but when we got home at 9pm, we ate dinner and she stole all the fries she could from my Mom. Then she talked to her Father and went straight to bed.
Thursday we brought Rylan home and she hasn't left his side much since then or mine. She is getting her bottom molars, well one of them, all the other ones have come in already so she seems to like to scream lately. She is able to do so much, she finally sucks out of a straw and hard sippy top and she climbs on everything. She also eats everything in sight!! I can't believe how big she is getting or everything she does. I am hoping I can get her temper in check soon because I really think she is hitting her terrible twos early. So hopefully I can control her. If not I guess we will just deal with it. I love my baby girl though!!

Yay

Well it sounds like Genevieve is getting better. I hope she does so that I can bring her in to see her brother if he is still here for awhile. I talked to her last night and she was so funny. She laughed and talked and everything. It was great. I love talking to her on the phone . She even gave me kisses on the phone and was trying to tickle me. I talked to her this morning and she said "MOM" when we were done and had kissed me. I miss my baby girl so I am going to be taking my step dad to work and picking him up, switching with my Mom, so that I can be at home with Genevieve some and so that I can get some decent rest and do things that I need to do.

Big girl

Since I am staying at the hospital with Rylan to be with him as much as possible my Mom is taking care of Genevieve while I am here. Which we live with her anyways so she helps out. But last night Genevieve went to bed in her toddler bed without my Mom being in the room or anything. My Mom did give her a sippy but I figure that is okay since I am not there. And she slept until 7am!! I am hoping that when I do go home that she will do that because I would like to not have her in her playpen. Plus if she is sleeping through the night I will only have to wake up with Rylan!
When she came to visit me today we called her Daddy so that he could talk to her and she was talking gibberish and then all of a sudden she said "Whoa", it was so cute Zack even stared laughing and said "really now??" And then she got quiet for a little bit and he asked her if she had more stories to tell him and she just started going again. Zack asked her about Rylan and she said "Where he go?" a few times, it was cute. Then she decided to start licking my phone. When she handed it to me the first time she started screaming and Zack couldn't believe she was screaming like that and so I gave her the phone back and she talked some more. Then I decided it had been enough time and I told him I would talk to him later and picked her up cause she was screaming. I am glad he got to talk to her though. That was the 3rd time this week so I am glad cause really I want 3 days a week that he talks to her at least and if he wants to talk to her more than of course that is okay. But that way she knows he cares and will associate that kind of stuff with her Daddy. Hopefully one day next week he will be able to do a video call with her so that she can see him. Or maybe he will record himself telling her something and then I can show her!
I miss my little girl but tomorrow I am going to go home for awhile to be with her if we do not get released yet. So we will just see. She's so cute. I wish she could see her brother but since she is sick I would rather her stay away even though they probably have the same thing

:(

So her tubes are fine and her allergies are just what they are. She isn't allowed to get anything but what she has but the dr okayed me to give her benadryl every 6-8 hours as I see fit. So hopefully that will help her. She also has a nice little cold right now that is kicking her butt so hopefully she will break that soon.

I am doing Self Soothing by putting her in her playpen so that I know she can't get out and then I walk out of the room and don't give her a sippy. Sometimes she screams and sometimes she just sits and talks to herself. But so far it is going good. I was giving her a half a sippy at first and then I took it away. Last night she woke up crying a few times but we never acknowledged her so she just went back to sleep. Hopefully it will get easier soon and I will be able to put her back in her toddler bed again.

I also learned last night that she can't go to bed in just a diaper because of the fact that when I got up with her this morning she had it pulled off. She didn't even want to get on put back on. She will be ready to potty train really quick.

Last night she kept saying please please please over and over again also.. It was the cutest little thing. She has been demanding to hold Rylan and help feed him and it is so cute. Last night I left them both on the bed while I was picking up the room and she was feeding him all by herself. It was cute!!

WHOA!!

Genevieve is getting so big. It makes me want to cry. I want her to be tiny again. She talks so much and walks everywhere. She loves her little brother but also wants attention from me and sometimes I can't jump up and do it. She loves to talk on the phone and just get into everything. She thinks that she should walk by herself anywhere without holding someones hand. I am glad that she is so cute and awesome. She makes me happy all the time. She will sit there and stare at me when I cry and give me a huge hug! She is just the best little girl ever! There are so many people that I wish were here to see her, but I know they are watching over us. She goes to the Dr tuesday to check on her tubes and to see about her allergies!

Big Sister

Genevieve is a good big sister. When Rylan was  born she tried to suck out his mouth and wanted to feed him his bottle. She didn't want to be away from him, didn't even want her mommy. Then later on that day when they all came back with Genevieve since I had him at 12:34am Genevieve was upset that her Uncle got her hold him before her and that Grandma was holding him at one point. She gave him kisses when she was near me and then when he started crying she pushed him away. LOL. She makes me laugh. Today her and I were playing peek a boo and she would uncover her eyes before me and be like pointing at me until I uncovered mine. I wish I was at home with her especially since she is teething, but I know my Mom can handle her. I just miss my baby.
She is saying baby and she just stares at her brother. Thankfully she is not jealous yet though. I felt bad when I was in labor because she wanted me and I couldn't handle her at all because of how much pain I was in. Now I can't wait until her, Rylan and I are together.

Princess

So Genevieve is great. She wakes up on her own and walks out of the room and comes to find Grandma and Grandpa and if they aren't in the living room then she comes back to wake me up. Her nap time and bed time has been hard lately. She screams and screams and gets in and out of bed, it is hard on me but somehow we still get her to sleep eventually. She wakes up at night time after about an hour which sucks but sometimes I can get her to lay back down and fall back asleep. Last night she woke up at 4am and wouldn't go back to sleep until like 6am, she was screaming and climbing out of bed it was hard. She knows when it is bedtime though cause she will follow me into the kitchen while I'm getting her milk and I will tell her to tell Grandma night night and she will go give Mom kisses and then I will tell her to get her blankie and she grabs it then we walk to bed. :)

I took Genevieve to the Dr awhile ago because she had the flu the week before and then she was still throwing up and having the diaherra when she was drinking her milk. They transfered her to soy milk and when I went in to wic she was still having problems so they put her on lactaid and it has gone so much better!! I still have to warm it up for like 40 seconds but its worth it.

Somehow she learned how to do touchdown, putting her hands up in the air and laughing, she is too cute. And anytime we say touchdown she does that now!! We even put on the Packers and Colts game tonight for a few minutes and she was laughing the whole time. It was cute as heck! The other day at nap time she looked at me and said "Sherri" then she said "shit", I asked her what she said and she was like "OH". Got to nip that in the bud. Then at bed time last night she was crying and I was sitting beside her bed and she patted my shoulder saying "Ma Ma Ma" over and over again that I had to give up because she made me want to cry.

So everyone knows that she was being tested for seizures because of her screaming issues and blank out episodes, well when I found out that she wasn't having them I talked to her Dr about it and found an answer. She has abandonment issues because of the fact that her Daddy isn't around and doesn't talk to her at all like she could be. I hate it more than anything because she will scream for awhile and she will cry anytime someone leaves without her or if she can't get into a room with someone. I wish that it was different because there are people out there that could talk to her but don't. Makes me sad. :(

WHAT A MONSTER

Genevieve is growing like crazy. She makes me so happy that I have her around. She may constantly be telling me "NO" or running from me but she still makes me laugh and smile. I wouldn't trade her for anything.

She told me the other day when she was in the tub that she was done. Everything is "MINE", and she is constantly running off with something and giving dirty looks.

She has to have soy milk right now to see if that is why she was having diarrhea and so far it seems to be so much better. All her medicines work great and she is getting good at taking her inhaler. :)

She has a problem with men though and I hate that. She wouldn't let the Dr touch her that seen her the other day without screaming and squirming from him.

She loves to talk on the phone and I am grateful for the friends that call her since not everyone does.

She sleeps in her own bed now! Still wakes up at night and working on taking a hard top sippy

Catch up

Since we don't have internet right now I have been writing down her blogs so I am doing a quick catch up of the blogs I have written down

July 4th 2011

Genevieve was funny the whole day. My mom gave her an oatmeal bath, put calomine lotion, eczema cream and hydrocortizone cream on her eczema the night before and she has cleared up. But Genevieve walked around and played around all day long!

We went to Folsam Field at Colorado University and Genevieve had her frist bus ride. We arrived like two hours early so we walked to Broadway. At a Starbucks I guess she walked by a college guy real slow. She also took a juice box from me and walked off. When we got back to the College we were able to go in and get seated shortly after. Genevieve danced to music and just talked :)!

She got to see Ralphie the bronco go onto the field and was amazed by the fireworks.

During the fireworks she touched this guy next to me and flirted with him. Mom changed her stroller after so I could go to the restroom and I guess she flirted with another guy. She was so tired and crabby that she went right to bed when we got home.

July 5th 2011

She was pretty tired from staying up late so even though I tried to keep her up and awake she slept most the day. About 2pm she woke up finally and stay awake. We met up with my Dad around 430ish and she got to see my sister and her Mom and brothers plus her Grandpa! She ate some callamari, zucchni, and that was about it. 

We walked down the Pearl Street Mall and we hit this play rock area for the kids and she kept trying to escape. It was cute. Towards the end she decided she would go play. She tried to escape from our group when we were in a grass area also. She went home and went right to bed for the night!!

July 7th 2011

We got up early so Genevieve could go to the dr and get her one year shots since she was finally healthy!! She is doing good in her weight and height areas!! The dr was worried about me giving her milk at night still when she wakes up instead of letting her self soothe but because we don't know what is going on with her yet, she said to keep giving her milk. She got 6 shots so we do not have to go back when she is 15months to get shots. But they want to see her by September at least. 

July 12th, 2011-MRI

We got up at 6am to go get Genevieve's MRI done at the children's Hospital in Aurora. She did very well about not being  able to have Milk after 3am or anything to drink after 7am. I took her back to the MRI machine to get sedated and  she fought it pretty well. She was not going to let go of me. Mom and I gave her a kiss then left. We waited for an hour and I was freaking out because it wasn't suppose to take more than 45 mins. When we finally got paged to go back I was relieved. She wouldn't wake up though and was having trouble breathing. Her oxygen kept going into the 80s and even her nurse was worried. She finally woke up and was one drowsy baby. The nurse gave her animal crackers and apple juice, she kept missing her mouth on everything, it was cute. She slept pretty well and did a lot of cuddling.

July 13th &14th 2011- EEG

Genevieve played well while we waited to be called back to get her EEG put on, she even did well when we got into the room. But once I had to sit on her so that the person could do everything she had to do she was screaming. It was horrible. She got one leg out and was kicking my stomach all the time. I was holding her hands and her head so that it would get done fast and it got done pretty fast. 

The next day it was easier to take off and only took like 20 mins, even the glue didn't really stay in her hair that much like they thought it would. 

The weeked!! July 15th-17th

Genevieve had a fever on friday :( She still played well though. She even was able to take milk without getting sick. On Saturday she still had her fever and also had the diaherra. She seemed fine when I put her to bed then she woke up and I went to go get her to hold her and she threw up all over me. NASTY. Well at 4am sunday she was up with a fever and crying so I cuddled with her and gave her motrin and everything. She did fine the rest the day!!

TODAY! Monday July 18th 2011

Well I got the call from the Neurologist about Genevieve's eeg and he said it was normal, he had also told me last week that her MRI was normal so I just don't know whats wrong with her. I am taking her in next week to see if her dr has any answers. Genevieve has been screaming all day, my Mom sent me a picture just a little bit ago and she has red eyes :( I hope my baby girl is okay

Not so good news....

Well Monday morning we got Genevieve up around 5:40am and drove an hour to the Aurora Childrens Hospital for her Neurologist appointment. I had a bad feeling about what we would find out, but I kept my mouth shut. Well the Dr asked all the questions about her episodes and I explained everything to him and he asked if they were connected in any way or anything like that. Well then he tested her nerves like they do with your knee on her arms, wrists, knee and foot. After he did all that he wanted to do he told us that her left side was jumpier than her right side which is an indication of seizures. He also had her stand up and said she stands with her feet wide apart which is another one but also could be that she is so young and just started walking. Well I also told him she had a hand preference, which is her right hand, and since she is only 13 months he said she shouldn't have one. So that is another indication. Well I guess if she is having seizures, which it is most likely, it is happening on the left side of her body. He told us that he wanted to do a 24 hour EEG so that she would fall asleep and an MRI with her sedated. Then after those happen I can call and find out the results, but if I actually see her having a seizure instead of what I just described to him then I can call and they will automatically put her on medicine. If they put her on medicine it will not be forever. They plan on it only being two years and after we take her off she won't be having any more seizures. Her MRI is on the 12th at 8:30 am and her EEG is on the 13th and gets taken off the 14th!

After the appointment I told my Aunt Anna on my Dad's side what was going on because she asked and I found out that my Uncle had seizures when he was little but it was never diagnosed. I also found out he had lesions on his brain that they think could be related to seizures. That was one of those moments that I wish my Grandma Carol was here so that I could ask her questions, she always remembered everything it seemed like, but since that is not possible I just go with the information that I have.

I hate that this is happening to my little girl. I waited to post this because I know who it gets sent to and I wanted to tell her father first but since she doesn't seem to be important in his life I just don't care. He hasn't called and talked to her and he barely does. I am not trying to put him down, but he should care about his daughter more than he does in my eyes. But it is his loss.

We have been going for walks after dinner and Genevieve loves them! Yesterday and today she would stop and want the balls that Mom or I were carrying to play with when we got to the park. She cracks me up. Today though she just sat down and threw a fit. She ended up going to be 30 mins before she normally does.

I love her so much and she is the highlight of my life. I honestly don't understand how someone could not want her or care about her.

13 months and OMG

Well today Genevieve is officially 13 months! I can't believe how big she is getting. She is so smart!!

She walked on her own!! We have been working with her with this Zebra toy my Mom bought her that she can push, and with holding her hand, plus she was still holding onto things and walking but today she just kept letting go and walking!! Everyone says I'm in big trouble now, but with her attitude I've always been in trouble.

When she talked to her Daddy tonight she was licking her toes and just thought it was hilarious even when I told her no. Later I was on the phone with my friend Dana and she just kept licking the tub and the water. She don't like to listen. She thinks I'm funny I guess.

The only problems I have is when I have to give her her inhaler, I have to put her in my lap and hold onto her hands. Makes me feel bad even though it helps her. I'm glad this only takes 10 seconds for each puff though since she crawled from the nebulizer.

Bath time and so much more!!

Tonight I was giving Genevieve her bath and she didn't want to get out, so I figured drain the water and she would. Well nope she just kept telling me no while she was looking for the water. It was funny. During the bath she threw her toys out at me and splashed me, stood up and once Grandma came and told her to sit down she sat.

Her and I went on a walk after dinner with her little Zebra that she can push...she did so well. She fell a few times but got right back up and just kept going. She also would let go and just stand there then grab back on. The only thing I have to watch for, besides her falling and really hurting herself, is making sure she don't run into things she hasn't figured out how to turn it yet.

She is a cookie monster. Grandma was feeding her cookies and she just kept shoving them all in her mouth at once.

We went to safeway today too and I held one hand while Grandma held the other and she walked, she had the biggest smile on her face. I decided I would hold her hand till she had enough of walking, well we got to an aisle and she just sat on her butt. She also told a lady "HI YA" all loud. They lady said it back and laughed.

She ate bananas, french toast and eggs for dinner and she put the eggs in her hair like a hat. We had cake for a snack and it was all over her face.

I love playing with her and watching her grow

I feel bad...

There are some days I feel bad and some days I'm grateful for the way things turned out...I'll explain that later.

Being back in Colorado is the best thing for us. We have been around friends and family and done so much more. I have more help than ever before. People listen to me when I tell her she needs to be told "No" or spanked or if she can't have something.

Genevieve having her episodes and being in Colorado is good too cause we are CLOSE to a Children's hospital. I still worry, but I know her and I will make it through this.

Lately she has been trying to walk, we all try to get her to also, but she just seems scared. She will stand on her own and hold one hand of someones and walk fine. I can't wait till she walks because it will be amazing to watch!!

She loves to talk:
Nana
Dada
Mama
Mommy
Daddy
Dance
This
Here
There
Hi
Yaya
Bye
Kiss
No

She is just one amazing little girl.

I feel bad because her Daddy isn't around and honestly doesn't seemed too interested in what is going on in her life. She wanted to call him like a week ago and I told her no daddy will call when he wants to and we called her Aunt Chels. She cried out for Daddy today when we got up for our nap, but she has me and I love her.

Without her I don't know where i would be. I am grateful for my baby girl and I know her and I and eventually Tyler will be able to get through anything together. They are my life and always will be!!

Move

So Genevieve and I moved back to Missouri, some people think it was a bad idea and some think it was a great idea, I am thinking it was a good idea. So far Genevieve has been able to have fun with her Aunt Missy and Cousin Jordan, she has seen Zack's Dad's family and crawled just about everywhere. I am happy with the move, even if some people in my family are not. Genevieve has a sinus infection which I hate but I guess it is life, but her tubes are doing good. We are just waiting on the discontinued notice for our Medicaid in Colorado so that we can get insurance here then we will be set! I am excited to get my ultra sound and go to the dr for this next baby. I know Genevieve will be a good big sister to her little brother or sister. I have been less stressed out since I got to Missouri and Genevieve has been less fussy, so far the move seems to be doing us good. I am glad that we made this move and cannot wait for things to get even better than they already are.

WHOOOA

So Genevieve is almost 8 months old. She is getting two teeth in and trying to crawl. She LOVES to climb all over me. She is learning to hit, which of course she gets in trouble for. She loves to sit in her high chair and play with toys and eat or just sit there and make noises. She likes to help me type on the computer. She is getting so big. Her first Christmas was amazing :) I love how she smiles and squishes up her nose. She is starting to gain her weight back that she was losing. :) She may end up with tubes soon :(
And she is going to be a big sister in September
