Okay, so I’m trying out this Windows Live Writer for this blog.  I think I’m digging it a lot!  I’m not sure how this photo album below is going to come out and how easily it can be viewed, but it’s worth a shot!  I also was able to do the previous post about the Pumpkin Patch with the side by side views of last year and this year.  So far so good.  Let me know if any one has any problems!  (FYI:  If it does work out?  Watch it, you will be seeing all kids of photos for those of you not on facebook!)

She is saying more and more words.  It’s pretty funny.  She said please a couple of weeks ago and hasn’t said it since.  I ask her to say it and she sticks her little tongue out a little bit instead.  Silly girl.  She has started saying “again”, go figure. 

She is an all around pretty cute little girl who knows how to charm her way out of trouble!  If she knows she is about to do something naughty she’ll come right out and tell me “no no no Mommy” and proceed to do it anyway!

I think my little Butterball has some kind of tummy bug.  The last couple of nights she has some icky loose poo’s (should I warn you now that this is going to be about poop?  Read at your own risk!)  I noticed yesterday that she wasn’t eating like her normal self.  Thought about it and then didn’t really think about it  again!  Until this morning when she wasn’t really into her breakfast.  She usually loves waffles.  We kind of took it easy to and gave her whatever she wanted to eat.  She kept drinking a ton of water, so I wasn’t that worried.  After dinner tonight she over by the door and was letting it rip.  After a few minutes of letting her finish (I hate to change her too early then have her keep pooping while I’m changing!)  I chased after her  finally got her down on the floor (in the middle of the room) got the britches off and noticed that it was a leaker.  Up the FRONT.  She hasn’t had a front leaker since she was tiny.  I thought, oh boy this isn’t going to be pretty!  I was moving her side to side to get her onesis pulled and noticed a nice puddle of poop on the CARPET.  I put her bottom down and went to get a changing pad (a little late, yes but I do what I can).  There were 2 more puddles of poop on the carpet.  I’ve never been so grossed out in my life.  I’ve changed my fair share of poopy/diarrhea diapers.  This was just gross.  I ended up throwing away the onesis and the changing pad along with the 50 wipes I used to get her and the floor cleaned up.  I light some candles in hopes of masking the poop smell.  I cleaned up the carpet with some water then put some Shout Gel on the carpet.  I figure we’ll let that sit overnight and hope for the best.  If anyone has any suggestions, I’ll take them.  Please.

Chuck’s store is open until 10pm until Halloween now.  Last night, tonight and tomorrow night he closes.  Which means he is out of the store at 10:30 and home by 11 – 11:15pm.  At least he doesn’t have to open the next day!  He works six days this week and maybe the week after for the pack away, then hopefully we can get back to some kind of normal before the holidays.

Happy Halloween!

The Pumpkin Patch 2009

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The whole gang.  L to R   Cameron, Avery, Theodore, Nyssa & Julia

We had to take this picture.  There were 5 holes and 5 kids, what parent wouldn’t take this picture if given the opportunity!  (Theodore, Cameron, Julia, Nyssa & Avery)

 

Sara and the twins came up last Sunday and we all took an adventure to the Pumpkin Patch.  It was insane.  Seriously.  Insane.  It was the second nice day in a row with no rain.  We pulled up, every got out and unloaded we took the first picture of the kids by/in the stroller’s.  Then we were in and out.  Took the pictures we needed, each kid got a little pumpkin and we bailed.  We went to lunch.  We decided that next year we would consider taking a vacation day to go during the week so we don’t have to fight the crowds!!

1 Year Ago on 10/19

 

What a difference a year makes!

15 months!

(The photo above is at a field hockey game for Hannah. The game stared late, so I was pulled out all the stops to keep her entertained. She loves to color and stuff. She is totally holding the pen the correct way! She colors the same way too!)

(We were hanging out at Auntie La-La's last Friday and I snapped the photo above. It seems kind of blurry but I can't believe how big she looks. She has definitely turned into Mommy's big girl over the summer!)

(The photo above: is by far one of my favorites. She is doing her fishy lips imitation. This was at the library. Those eyes and those eye lashes. I hope she keeps the long eye lashes forever!)

Hard to believe she's 15 months already! (Okay, so she's really almost 16 months at this point!) She is a very funny girl! Her sense of humor is hysterical. She knows when to be all cute so she doesn't get into trouble!

She went in for her 15 month check up on the 29th of September. She did pretty well! She got four shots. The nurse brings in another nurse and they double team them for shots. They count to 3 and stab them at the same time. The first round she kind of whimpered, the second round down right ticked her off. The crying ended pretty quickly when I started to put her pants back on she started saying "bye bye" because we were outta there! She weighs in at 21 lbs 6 oz (she has only gained one pound since her cardiologist appointment in July :), her length is at 29 inches now. I forget how big her head is, but that has a higher percentage than her height and weight! She's growing right on schedule, actually a little ahead.

She is trying to chat up a storm.

She says;

Daddy (sometimes it's Dada)
Mommy (sometimes comes out Money, nice, right?)
uppie (pick me up)
no (duh)
uh-oh
Zachary is Acky
Jamie is Ja-ja-ja (why she throws 3 J's into it, I have no idea)
Hannah is Nannah
Lori is La-La
more (she's been saying more A LOT the last couple of days...now if she could just learn please!).

She knows where her belly (& button), ears, mouth, chompers (aka..teeth), pretty hair (she's a girl, it can't just be HAIR, it's got to be PRETTY), nose (every now and again her finger makes it's way UP her nose), eyes, toes (she wiggles them for you too), hands and the grand finale is asking her if she has a poop. She pats her little behind and says, uh-oh! She also loves to do the motions for pat-a-cake, and we are working on twinkle twinkle. She just laughs when I sing twinkle twinkle.

This week she has started shaking her head "yes" as well. She tries any way, she puts her whole body into it. She shakes her head "no" quite well. Mommy: "Nyssa are you going to go on the potty soon and wear big girl panties?" Nyssa: *shakes her head no and laughs. (In my world it's never too soon to start talking about potty training!!

We were given a girls bedroom set by someone in our apartment building, so we had to do a little re-arranging in her bedroom a couple of weeks ago. Chuck actually came up with floor plan to allow more toys to be left out for her to go play in there. She plays awesome by herself. She just takes off for her room now. Her favorite thing to play with in there is her doll house. Actually it used to be Lauren Egert's and it's been passed down through their family/cousin's and now it's ours! It is funny to be playing doll house with my daughter that I used to play 13 years ago with Lauren! She loves playing with her baby doll's and cars and trucks. She's pretty much entertained by anything I guess!

Another favorite past time of Nyssa's would be putting on clothes. She may already have clothes on her little body, but if she can get some shirts and/or pants out of her drawers without Mommy putting them back, she will plop right down start attempting to put them on. Most of the time the shirt ends up as pants, but whatever makes her happy! You know when she can get them because you hear the "Wilson" temper flare up.

She is well on her way to perfecting the tantrum thing too. She has been known to immediately sit on tush, lay down and proceed to slam her feet on the ground all the while she's yelling at me. The tantrum that isn't as bad usually ends up with her crying and yelling and pointing at me while she's walking away to find some wall space. She backs herself up to the wall, stands there and cries. Just cries and cries. It's actually kind of funny which I'm sure pisses her off even more! I've got to get a picture next time it happens. It's funny stuff.

That's pretty much it for here. I can't believe the last post was July. I suck at this now. No. Really I just put a ton more stuff up on Facebook. It's so much easier!

We hope everyone out there is doing well and staying warm!!
