Happy Valentines Day

I love these kiddos. Although they frequently make me crazy, I wouldn't trade them for anything. Even on the days of up-all-night with a screaming baby, enduring 3-year-old tantrums, and a teasing five year old tormenting younger sibling. Although, on those days I might like to hire a nanny. Still these kids are mine. I love you little valentines.

Little Miss sickie

Our little miss Lily Mae has been a sick a lot the last couple months. Lily's fifth ear infection since November has not cleared up so the doctors have decided that tubes would be a good idea. Although initially I was hesitant to do a procedure where I have to put my kid under anesthesia. I am now looking forward to the procedure as it will hopefully mean the end of the frequent night time screaming fests I have endured the last couple months. Poor Lily has had all these ear infections and has been teething all at the same time. Her first top tooth just broke through this week. Unfortunately, she is now grinding her teeth all the time. I looked up baby teeth grinding on line, and it turns out that kids often grind their teeth from the pain of teething and ear infections. So hopefully, once we get the ears fixed the horrible teeth grinding will stop. Right now Lily's main activities include: chewing on everything, but her teething toys, and pulling herself up to standing. Lily's favorite things to chew on are some adorable pink shoes and the door stops in our house. Seriously, if she sees that any of those two items are available she will turbo crawl to get them. At Lily's 9 month appointment she was 23 pounds and 29 inches tall. Those stats continue to keep her in the 95 percentile. Hopefully after her procedure tomorrow she will start feeling better. I sure hope so. I miss my baby that was an excellent sleeper.
