SLEEP!!!!

E was a fantastic sleeper when she was a newborn. WAS being the key word. It seems that since she's been teething, she hasn't been sleeping which is not good for the parentals. haha! After many nights of her sleeping in 3 hour increments Bruce and I decided we HAD to do something. SO we thought back to when she DID sleep through the night and one major difference between then and now is that then she HATED pajamas. I'm talking about SCREAMING from the time I put them on until I took them off 2 seconds later. However, a few months later I tried pajamas again and she didn't scream so she's been sleeping in pj's ever since. Well not exactly SLEEPING but you get the picture. So for the past few nights we let her sleep in just a onesie. Last night was AWESOME!!! She slept from 8 until 3am. She woke for just a few minutes and then she slept until 7 this morning. AHHH! We shall see if this trend continues and if so no more pj's for EAB!!!!

No more cute froggy pj's for you, Cutie Pie!

Swing Swing Swing

Bruce and I have decided to get E a swing set for her first birthday present which isn't until May but it is never too early to start researching, right? Anywho upon my research there are three totally different routes I could go....

My first thought was spend $100 on a metal swing set for her birthday and if she really likes it and uses it a lot then splurge for a bigger one this upcoming Christmas.

After looking at the prices, I began to re-think. The metal swing set is $130 but this nice wooden one with a lot more bells and whistles is $400. Yes it is a $270 price difference but considering I was planning on upgrading this Christmas anyways...is $270 THAT much more?

Then during my research I ran across a playset that is smaller and would be perfect for E to start off with. I don't want her to be scared of a "big" slide, but I don't want to waste $400 on something she'll play with for one summer.

I am SO indecisive! I just wish I knew what SHE wanted. Maybe we can take her to the park one day soon and try some of the swings and slides out to see if she likes them but in the meantime, What are your thoughts?

E's First Christmas Lights!

My Picasa Web Albums refuse to upload any of my new pictures so I figured it would be a good time to post some older pics that I haven't had a chance to share. One night, Bruce and I decided to take E to see Christmas lights because we thought she would enjoy them BUT she slept the entire time. Hey, we tried! haha! Here are some pictures before we left and some pictures of the lights. =)

Me and My Girl!

My full upper body picture because I refuse to be the fat girl with pics from chest up even though that is what I prefer. ;-)

Daddy and his mini me!

Kisses! He LOVES her!

I hope everyone had a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! We sure did! =)

E Loves to Play!

I love watching E play. It is so interesting to see what she will do next. I guess I can attribute it to my psychology background. ;-) Right now, she is interested in the different sounds the toys make so she is constantly clanging them together. Here are a few pictures of E playing in her room. :-)

Flashback Friday

The belly posts are back! haha! The following pictures were taken January 27, 2011. I was 21 weeks pregnant and OVER HALF WAY DONE!

Great Granny Visits

Last week, Eileigh and I had some visitors. My Granny, Aunt D, and Mama came for a visit. They all enjoyed playing with Eileigh and with my Granny being *cough* *cough* years old I wanted to get some pictures of her with E. I'm sorry I can't spill her age or she would KILL me! haha! Let's just say that she's spunky for her age. I'm going to bed at 10 and she's going out dancing at 10 until the wee hours of the morning. I could've hung with her when I was a teenager but not so much anymore! LOL!

We don't allow Stitch on our new furniture or in our bed since E has arrived so I about croaked when I saw my Granny sitting on the floor *JUST* so Stitch could sit in her lap. For the record, we would have gladly allowed Stitch to sit in her lap while she was sitting on our furniture. Silly Granny! I think she would dognap Stitch if I would let her. She loves that little dog! =)

Only 1 more day until FRIDAY!!! Woohoo!

Eileigh is 8 months 3 days old.

Worldless Wednesday-The Blur is her hand about to whack me in the face!
