September

Happenings this month:

. Zuri can crawl as fast as I can walk (it's fast)

. She can crawl up stairs in no time. She tries to get get down by belly sliding head first...she's daring.

.She loves mirrors (what baby doesn't?)

. Chanson was in the school date action. He wore a kilt...nice.

.School actually hasn't been too bad for me. Thank goodness.

.We got Cami's family sick. Sorry Spam.

and

.Zuri loves blueberries

our trusty steed.
Chris took this on our walk, I love it. Her feetsies are so cute.

jail bird pajamas and giving kisses to herself.



a pause

Her craze for blueberries. There was splattered juice ALL over.

Got her third tooth last week.
She was tripping on her dress so I tucked it into her bloomers. So awesome.
Our child that never has clothes on in pictures for some reason. I really do dress her, and she really does look cute when I do.

She LOVES playing with dad.

examples of why she is never clothed when she eats...everything gets covered in her food.

first: I ran out of fresh fruit and remembered I had frozen blue berries. She went crazy for them.

second: I don't know what she was doing, but I couldn't stop laughing. It's like she was praying.

Happy Fall (FINALLY!)

The Sickies

I had gotten sick this past weekend with the horrible throw-ups, but I thought it was either bad food or baby related so I didn't even think of it being a virus of sorts. Poor Zuri got the similar situation last night. I woke up at 3 to her fussing and went in to her room to feed her, she didn't want her bottle, (which is weird she always wants to eat at that time) but she just wanted to snuggle and went right back to sleep. I put her back down and went to the other room. I heard her start to cough and make some choking sounds, I ran back in to find her thowing up all over the place. Poor little Zur. It freaked me out cause really she has never been this kind of sick, and I knew how painful it had been for me. I took her to Chris cause I wasn't feelin so hot either and she just kept throwing up. Resulting in our first E.R. trip with the babe.

We decided to go to AMC where she was born since the hospital in the town next to us had recently shut down the maternity ward and we had been told by a Dr. that if she did get sick it's better to take her to Augusta instead. Chris raced us up there (45 minutes away) in no time at all (of course, it's speedy Chris). She was so misserable it was awful. She threw up some more and of course right when we got there she stopped, but was still so lathargic it was really weirding me and Chris out. She held so still for the nurses and just spralled on the bed. It was cute, but we knew she still wasn't over it if she was being that still.

The nurses and Dr. were great with her, gave her a little dose of medicine and she perked right back up to hyper Zur. She fell into a nice deep sleep on the drive home and is snoozin away again.

Chris took this picture on his phone and I just thought it was too cute to not post immediately. Check out that bed head! (and her diaper takes up half her tank body!)

That's the random update, thank goodness for modern medicine, a great husband and a fast car! She's doing much better and hopefully she'll be back to crazy happy Zuri soon.

Been a While

So I was going to write a bunch of stuff, but after I started to re-read what I wrote and thought to myself " What am I doing? It's disgustingly late, and I sound like a woman" so here are some photos of my two favorite girls.

A mom day....that's not actually a mom day..

Tomorrow I'm going to the National Art Museum in D.C. with the art students at SVU. It's required of course, but it is an awesome museum, I recommend going there for sure. Only thing is, it's my first trip to D.C. without Chris, and that means without Zuri too. It's the longest I've been away from the little munchkin, and I'm a little worried. I shouldn't at all, Chris and her will have a blast together tomorrow and have some serious daddy-daughter time, but I'm a mom, and what does a mom do without her baby?

Any suggestions on how to cope? I guess I'll be mostly distracted all day doing art sheesh, but any words of advice/wisdom/tips etc by the pro moms' out there would be great.

Meanwhile! Zuri was up on the couch while I was sitting on the floor playing on the computer and this is what she started doing to me, i couldn't stop laughing it was so funny, she was rolling everywhere.

Hope everyone is good!

of course it's Zuri.

I love my kid, she's stinkin cute. Brinn took this today. I love it.

Chubby

My littlest brother, Ammon, (aka Chubby) has always been the cause of laughter in my fam. This past week my parents and the two youngest moved up to Washington, this is Ammon's facebook status:

"I'm afraid a vampire is gonna jump me everytime I walk outside up here. And every shirtless jogger in actually a fuzzy wolf inside"

He is seriously the best entertainer I will ever know.

dog walker

Anytime we take Kelso with us Zuri has to hold his leash, if she even gets a glimpse of the blue thing she will reach, wiggle and squeal until we give it to her. She's got a grip though, she rarely ever drops it, even when she's in the stroller and Kelso's tuggin away she won't let it go. Impressive really. Chris took this at the last soccer game. She's pretty cute, I love her pouty little lips.
