January's back

For a second there, I thought we were into May with the lovely weather. Not that I was able to enjoy any of it. DH gave me his nasty cold and I've been in the house ever since. Only went out Saturday for 2 hours to get groceries. Friday it was the sore throat signal that worse was coming. Saturday, it was full on cold with sinus pressure. Sunday, less snotting and by day's end, a barking chest cough. Today the sinus pain and sneezes are gone and a bit of the cough remains. I wasn't sure how I'd handle the day so I'm really thankful I'm getting better.

So far, today's been alright. Made PB&J muffins and Quesadillas with E. She loved the muffins...carrot puree. She wouldn't eat the Q so I told her no dessert, no milk at nap time till she ate it. After an hour, I reheated it for her, left it on her plate in the living room and went to get L up for lunch. By the time I sat down with L's bottle, E had nearly finished. I was so proud of her! I know she didn't want to eat it. Funny how kids will eat when they have nothing else to fill their bellies. :) I gave her "ice cream" (frozen yogourt) for dessert, warmed her milk and she's off to bed.

L's in bed too. She doing so well...sleeping 4-6 hours overnight. Drinking 4-6 oz at each feeding. I find her cheeks are filling out...but she still looks so tiny to me. Not sure how much she weighs but she's outgrowing her newborn clothes. :) I have our appt. booked to get pics at Superstore next month. By then L will be more aware of the world and reactive. Speaking of which, I'm positive L's smiling on her own. It can't be gas. Over the wknd she smiled a lot. So precious! Problem is, when I react to the smile, she stops...probably trying to figure out what she did to make me so excited. hehehe

Well, precious naptime awaits. Must get going. Hope you're all bundled up for the Nor-easter. Batten down the hatches! TTFN!
