TuTu's and Teeth

What a busy week we have had! This was my first offical week as a part time worker! I worked Monday, Tuesday and Wednesay, then got to be home with Ivorie the rest of the week, and it was great! Thursday we just hung out around the house and played, and went and looked at a daycare center in Becker, but decided it wasn't for us... to many germy kids and not enough supervision was the verdict. So for now we will be staying at our over priced, unreliable hours, paid vacation, home daycare. Which is fine because Ivorie loves it there, Lance says everyday when he picks her up all the little kids run over and say "Bye Ivy" and she just gets a big grin on her face. So as long as she is happy that's all that matters.

Friday we had a big day planned, shopping, and playing. Ivorie invited her friend Colton to come play again, it is always nice to be able to spend time with Colton and Alisa, we always have a great time. We do however still feel bad for the time Ivorie was laying next to Colton and round house kicked him in the head... sorry dude!

Friday morning we woke up to a big surprise, Ivorie has a tooth coming through on the bottom! It's just starting to poke through so you can just feel a sharp little edge. I can't believe we are already to this stage!

Friday night Kevin and Jenica came over and Ivorie showed off for them and we got to enjoy a few drinks with them, it was the perfect evening!

Today we have a wedding, Ivorie is excited to get all dressed up again, and to wear the new shoes Nana got for her!

Baptism Pictures

6 months!

Hard to believe that Ivorie is already 6 months old! Yesterday we had a very busy day celebrating by having pictures taken and a check up with our good ol friend Dr. Humbert.

But of course mom's day off wouldn't be complete without a trip to Target. Thanks to our good friend Rose, we found out that convertable car seats (that we will need once Ivorie grows out of her current carseat) were on sale at Target! 50 dollars only... so we got 2! Then we got all of next weeks groceries as well, it was a long but very needed trip!

We got home and played for a little while and then Lance came home early from work to join us in our big adventure to St. Cloud. So we loaded up the truck with tutu's and beads and headed to JCPenny's for pictures. We had 3 different outfits, and looked so adorable in each one, and smiled the entire time! The photographer did a great job with Ivorie. We spent a lot of money and have a lot of adorable pictures coming our way!

After our very successful picture taking, we headed to the Dr. Ivorie weighed in at 17lbs 9oz, which is the 80th percentile and he length was 26 1/2 inches, 60th percentile! She checked out great, no concern about the cough or congestion any more. She got the ok to try more solids, all though she hasn't been really interested lately in solids, we're lucky if she gets a veggie 2 times a week, it just hasn't been her thing lately. After Dr. Humbert gave her the ok, it was time for her immunizations, 3 shots and the oral rota virus. I don't know why but this time I felt that it would be great idea to video tape this process. So if you would like to see the torture that we put our little lady through just let us know! I did feel bad for her, so I got my flu shot too, and when she has to go back in for her booster, Lance will be getting his too (thanks Amy for helping me figure that out!) We are fighting the fever today, but was relieved with some tylenol, and now our tired girl has been in bed for 2 hours.

Pictures will be added soon, possibly tomorrow after seeing our friend Colton, and after meeting our new friend Rayna, congratulations Wendy! And congratulations to Dr. Humbert and his wife Tara on the birth of their (no name) baby boy!

a baptism and a fever

I told you all that I suck at the blog thing, there was fair warning!

Ivorie did get Baptised, it went well, she seemed to love listening to the Pastor talk. She watched her as she did the prayers and pretty much never took her eyes off of Pastor Kris. She didn't cry she probably loved that she got a mini bath, and yes it did seem almost like a bath, they dont use that water sparingly!
After the baptism was over there was a nice gathering at McPete's, took a little for everyone to warm up and start to conversate, but once the party was started Ivorie was rested and ready to play! Thanks to Jenica for the balls, she loves them :-) And thank you to everyone for being with us on that special day in Ivorie's life, but mostly thank you to mom for almost putting your purse in the cake! Haha! Craig we're still waiting for the pictures you took, how many this time like 500? or is is not as many since it was just a baptism, not a wedding?

So it seemed that the party took the best out of our little lady, because around 5 that evening I got a call from daddy (mommy was shopping with Auntie Bryana, Auntie Vicki and Grandma Patti) and daddy had not such good news, Ivorie was sleeping, but she had bright rosy red cheeks and wasn't sleeping all that great. So I rushed home, and got a temperature on the very sick looking girl, 102! As the night went on and the fever got higher, we started to develop some congestion, and didn't want to eat that great at all. So it was a trip to see Dr. Rogan on Monday. With not very many answers and a cough to add to the list of symptoms. We got the it's just a virus speech and she'll be fine in about 2 days. Well 2 days came and went and took the fever too! The congestion worsened as well as the cough. So when we woke up Saturday with a little girl who wouldn't stop coughing, we brought her back this time we had a visit with Dr. Melloy ... sorry again Beth for being late! This time we had a chest x-ray and a pertussis test done, and we were sent home one antibiotics. After just one dose of the antibiotics Ivorie was feeling a lot better, so we finished the antibiotic, and found out the pertussis was negative, but whatever it was, we now know it wasn't viral and we needed those antibiotics! Now we are congestion free and cough free!
