Dancing Videos

She cracks Clay and I up when she does her head thing in the car to the music! This one is dedicated to Roxanne!

Dancing in Daddy's room to his records!

Pics from phone

Lola was crawling in her swig by herself so I finally had to part with it! She loved doing it though! Even after she fell out of it! Haha


Here are the beds I bought and painted!


Lola being crazy!

Chocolate??

Lola drank some milk today thanks to a little chocolate syrup… yaya- sugar, etc… but it clearly helped and maybe I can slowly do less and less… plus I used the one with less sugar and cals.

Counting the bottle she’ll have before bed tonight- today’s total: 3! Yaya!  But I don’t need to get too excited… she doesn’t seem to feel 100%, so food and drinks is general has been lower today.  Vaccines seem to do weird things to her… not a big fan people.

So I was finishing up some sewing a few minutes ago and Lola was playing so quietly on the floor… I was just so amazed… then I took a closer look at her “toy!” A Vaseline jar with Vaseline everywhere! Yuck!  Her skin has been worse than ever with her eczema, so I guess it wasn’t terrible… She is super into lids and taking them off and putting them back on right now, so I just asked for this leaving it on the coffee table. :)  Better than magic  markers!

Everyone have a good night!

OH WAIT- Prayers needed!

So I mailed our very last chance at appealing the insurance decision not to cover Lola’s DOC Band.  This appeal goes to the employer to have our policy changed to exempt the exclusion of cranial bands.  If they agree to change it, then the band should be covered.  Please pray, pray, pray!  We are still paying on that expensive little band!  So please pray for good news.  I think we could get back almost $2,000 dollars!

Okay- now have a good night! ;)

Painted baby toes!

On our way home from church I painted Lola's toes while she napped in the car!!!

Whole Milk, Big Girl Potty and Bottles

Well the time has come for Lola to forget about the formula! Ya! I thought this would be exciting but based on the last week or so, maybe not.  She seems to hate milk, but I am going to start warming it and see if that helps.  She certainly doesn’t seem like my child now, hating milk and all. I haven’t decided if I want to throw out bottles at the same time.  I am thinking she may take the milk better if I put it in a bottle.  So we will see I guess!  I better goggle what happens if your 1 year old hates milk!!  Lol

And yep, I am starting to get Lola familiar with the potty.  We sit on it every day and try to go.  This week I will start sitting her on it several times a day.  She is aware of “Tee-Tee” and will tell me when her diaper is really wet, so I think this is a good start.  Her potty plays music when she goes in it, so I think this will be a good source of encouragement for her as well.  I’ll keep y’all posted!  And you guys can make fun of me for starting early, but the diapers that cost $45 dollars last week that are almost gone isn’t a laughing matter.  And there is really no stress involved since I am doing it so young with her… she’ll either get it or not. 

But she definitely gets that milk is not the same as formula.  Hmmm…

Is this a good time to go ahead and retry  “cry it out” in your crib deal? I guess not.  Dr. Bala suggested getting her a toddler bed at 18 months of age and switching her then at this point.  Obviously she can get out of the bed, unlike a crib, but it may just have a better chance at working.  Lola hates cribs.  I went ahead and ordered a toddler bed that will work with her existing mattress.  I have two of the cutest twin beds that I painted white, but since they require such a big mattress (twin- haha) and will take up all of her room, I decided to go ahead and get this bed to transition with.  I hate to move her rooms because she’s upgrading beds, so I think this is good.  Plus, her room is really working out well right now.  It has transitioned into a “toddler room” well.  Here’s the new bed that should be coming sometime this month, but not in a huge hurry. 

 

I just love Jenny Lind anything!  They discontinued white, so I’ll either leave it this color so it can work with future children (white is awfully girly!) or paint it if I just hate the color.  Don’t think I will though! We will see!

I do want to post pictures of some changes I made in the house, so I’ll try and do that including the twin beds I got and painted.  $80 for the pair at an estate sale and they were in great shape and very sturdy.  I took the headboards and put them on one bed to make a daybed for one of the bedrooms and will someday use them as matching twin beds!

Okay- that’s all I got now…
