Random Update on Jayden

I thought I would just write down a few thoughts/notes about what is going on with Jayden these days.

1. Jayden is 10 months and 16 days old.
2. She is walking along furniture and getting very confident.  She is even letting go every once in awhile to prove how brave she is.
3. She laughs...A LOT!  Her laugh is so addictive that you can't help, but continue whatever silly thing made her laugh (no matter how stupid it may make you look or feel).
4. She is saying several words and is surprisingly good at communicating things that she has no words for.  
5. Her words include: Daddy ("Da Da"), Momma ("Muh Muh"), Woof ("buph"), All Done ("Ah Dah" with the sign), Again ("gee", she just started this today), Bye Bye ("Buh buh buh" while waving) she will actually wave us away, before we even start to leave, when we drop her off at the nursery at church.
6. She loves to talk...even if it is just babbling (especially if other people are trying to hold a conversation).
7. She has learned how to clap.
8. She has learned how to learn lights on and off and make the bird (stuffed) go in and out of the bird house.
9. When someone is holding her we say, "Love Daddy (or whoever is holding her)" and she pats their shoulder!  It is sooo precious!
10. She LOVES strawberries.  She wouldn't eat any meat or anything but strawberries for dinner last night.
11. She has two bottom teeth!
12. She weighs just under 19 lbs.
13. She doesn't like to be held by one person for very long.  She will constantly be reaching for someone new.
14. She knows how to turn the tv on and off.
15. The only time she cries is when she is hungry (and we haven't fed her in a long time), extremely tired (and it takes a lot to get her there) and hurt.  She is such a happy baby!  
16. She IS the boss!!!!

Well, I think that is about it.  Or at least, all I can think of right now.  I'll try to do this every once in awhile.  It is fun! :)

I went to the doctor yesterday because I failed my 1 hour glucose test.  So...I went in for my 3 hour test.  I am preparing myself to be diabetic again.  I know that sounds like the negative way to go, but really...I'm being realistic.  My number was really high for the 1 hour test and it is still early in the pregnancy.  Plus, I have just had a feeling from the very beginning that I was diabetic again.  We will find out the results in about a week.  Please pray for me and my health and my family.  This will effect us ALL!  

Happy Days!

Happy Happy Day!!!  We have AC again!  

The repair guy came and there was NOTHING wrong with our AC.  What?!  That's right...nothing wrong.  Pete...the nice repair guy just cleaned out the drain and said we should be good to go.  Now we just have to get the ceiling fix.  

Ahhhhh.......

The Joys of Home Ownership

So, last night we discovered a leak.  A leak from where?  The ceiling in the entry way...  Our AC has decided to freeze up and spill over and leak through the drywall.  Ah...joy.  So...this means we have no AC on the two HOTTEST days this week.  I'm talking high 90's and we are in HOUSTON!  What the heck?!  So, we have put our baby girl down to sleep a room that feels like a sauna.  I feel sooo guilty!  The AC guys are supposed to come out tomorrow to fix it.  I pray they come fast and work their magic like speed demons!! 

My poor baby....I love this face:

Oh, The Life We Lead!

Wow...a lot has happened since I last posted!  I will try to remember everything, but it will all be out of order...

I went to the doctor on April 30th!  They confirmed I am prego and 8 weeks along (well, I was just 7.5 weeks at the appointment).  I got a couple of pictures, but haven't scanned them in yet.  I know...I'm a slacker!  :)  I will get them up soon!

On Saturday we had to take Jayden to the doctor because I noticed a bad rash starting on Friday and it had only gotten worse Saturday morning.  It took Dr. Weed all of 30 seconds before he announced, "You my dear...have Hand, Foot and Mouth disease!"  WHAT?!  Oh my goodness!  Well, basically it is just a virus.  It is passed on from kid to kid by slobber!  Ewwww..... So, we are in quarentine until Saturday.  Today is the end of the 4th day and I am going nuts!  Jayden is a real trooper.  She just plays and plays and acts as if nothing is attacking her body!  She is so precious.  Here is what her body looks like...the rash and the blisters:

Jayden now has a tooth and the second one is working its way out...

So...I made my first cake ever for a friend's baby shower.  I had so much fun making this and can't wait for the next one!

Okay...that is about all I can fit in before bathtime.  I have a couple of videos I want to share...so be looking out for those!
