Happy Valentine's Day!

Check out her new Valentine's duds. Josh's boss gave us the outfit. I love the bows on her feet! All the girls in Eileen's class were decked out in their pink, red and white outfits. Too cute. It appeared most of the other moms had done what I did - old school store-bought Valentine cards for the babies with small treats for the teachers. It did appear that one mom bought little books for all of the kids - which had me paranoid that I didn't do enough! But I think she was the only one who did something so 'big' - that makes me feel better!

As for Mommy & Daddy's Valentine events.. well last night Josh was super Dad. I have a nasty headcold. Eileen woke up at 3:30 this morning wanting to eat. I was delirious from NyQuil. Dear Daddy let me stay in bed while he got up and made her bottle and changed her diaper and fed her. That's just the best Valentine ever!

I just got my prescription filled at Target. We love that pharmacy - they are so nice and it's so convenient. It also causes me to spend money. Of course I had to wait a few minutes to get my drugs, so I wandered the store. Somehow, my
cart got filled with Jell-O, Ginger Ale, the biggest box of Puffs you can imagine (I splurged on the 'good' tissues) and several cans of chicken noodle soup. Oh, and Pop Tarts. The Brown Sugar ones. Random, I know. Certainly not traditional 'cold' food. But I was feeling sorry for my sniffly self and Pop Tarts are just so good! Of course I got back to the office and promptly hid them away so I won't be tempted to eat the whole box. I don't think they fit too well into the Weight Watchers plan.

We tried the new tubby last night. She's not quite big enough for it yet. So she's too big for the baby tub. and too small for the big baby tub. HMM. I think we'll try it again in the downstairs bathroom b.c it's a bigger/easier access tub. Either way - she DID seem to like sitting in the water. She didn't splash around, she just sort of looked around in amazement.


Beanie & Grandpa Jamieson are coming this weekend! We can't wait to show them how Eileen giggles and smiles and plays. Too fun.

OK.. must go now. Have a Happy Valentine's!

movin on up

It's been just over a month, and already Eileen is moving up to the next group at school! Well, just look at her in these pictures and you can see why. She's not so much a "baby" baby anymore!

She'll still be in the same class at school, same teachers and everything. She's just moving to the older side of the room (with the 5-7month olds). A new baby is coming into the little baby side, so she's getting moved up to make room.

She rolled over yesterday. Josh put her down to do tummy time and she just rolled over onto her back! I am betting she's been doing it at school for a few days but they just didn't tell us so we'd think when we saw it it was the first time. I really don't care if her first time is at home or at school, just so long as I get to see it!
She's not sitting up yet- in these pictures I propped her up - but she tries all teh time to pull herself up. Sitting can't be far away.

oh, and the tubby! I've still been using the infant tub we borrowed from Miles. Seeing as how Eileen is now bigger than the tub we decided we should get something else. We got this tub-seat thing. I can put her in the big people tub and sit her in the chair so she can't go anywhere. I think she's going to love splashing around in there! I'll use it tonight for the first time. Hope it goes well!


We're currently accepting donations for this fun looking thing (why don't they make these for adults?!). We actually have a jumper that hangs from the door frame, but the way our doorways are it just doesn't work. This makes me less nervous anyway, she' can't fall from the door! She tries to push herself up now when she's in her exer saucer, so I'm thinking she'll love this jump-y one. And it will get her little legs ready for taking those morning runs with Mommy!

I'm actually at home this morning. Not feeling so goood at all. I sent Eileen to school, went into work for an hour or so, and now am home. I'm going to sleep for a while, then go to the doctor. Then I'll get Eileen and we'll hang out. If I have the energy I'll make the teacher's cookies this afternoon. I'll make sure not to cough all over them. :)

Check out shutterfly for some updated Eileen pictures! (well, give me some time- I may not get them posted until later today!).
