The VicifieR

Gage started daycare last week and by Thursday he seemed to get into the swing of things (we are not going to talk about how good I did….nothing great to say about that). Thursday was also the day when the sniffles began. Yes that is right, my poor baby got his first cold. We spent the weekend hunkered down in the house because the weather was awful for a sick baby (cold, rainy). His poor little sinuses were so congested I had to hold a cap full of Vicks in front of his nose before a few of his bottles so he could breath. That is when I had a fantastic idea for an invention…..the Vicifier, a pacifier that has a round compartment on the front with small holes in it that you can open and put Vicks in. That way a baby can inhale vicks without putting it on them. I could be a millionaire next week with that idea. Every house with a baby would have a Vicifier (if they were smart). Babies are so great, even through his sniffles Gage spent a lot of time giggling this weekend, he thinks Daimen is the funniest thing. Daimen says “hi” in this high pitch voice and Gage loves it.

Jer is home with the baby today because he is still sick and was real needy yesterday plus he has a Dr’s appointment today to check his ears (he has been pulling on them). I am leaving work a bit early and meeting them at the Dr’s and from there it is on to the airport to pick up my bff, Mel. She is coming down to visit and for a personal appointment. I am taking tomorrow off so I can drive her where she needs to go and to visit with her a bit because she is back on a plane home tomorrow afternoon. It is a bummer that she can’t stay longer but great that she is coming for a bit.

In other news my youngest sister in-law got engaged this past weekend. I am so excited for them, Congrats guys!!

Gage giggled today, three times even. It made me so happy, you would have thunk I won the lottery. I was running around for about 2 hours going, guess what, HE giggled. I am sure Jer and Daimen wanted to put tape on my mouth. Other going ons in Gageland are drool and I mean truck loads, putting his hands in his mouth, sometimes even his fists and great sleep. Let me talk about the sleep for a minute. Gage has slept for 7-9hrs the last 5 days, he is really making this new formula worth the $$$. We may go bankrupt but we will not have bags under our eyes when we do. YOU go boy!

We went shopping this weekend for some new clothes for me because I do not fit back in the pre-maternity clothes yet. I tried on 15-20 pairs of pants and was so defeated that none of them fit so I said forget it and got 6 shirts/jackets I can wear to cover the muffin-top. If you do not know what a muffin-top is that is because you do not have one and you can not be in the muffin club, sorry.

M&P came buy today for a quick visit before heading to visit Grandma and Papa for a while. Be careful M&P we will miss you. Grandma & Papa I wanted to say hi and we are so thrilled you are feeling better. Thank you so much for the card.

My best friend Mel started a blog about her crazy life, if you care to follow the life of a mom with two teenage boys and a darling drama filled daughter go to http://www.melandkids.blogspot.com/
Hi Mel we love you and Happy Birthday Maddi.

My other friend (she knows who she is) is having a more somber day. She had a angel baby go to heaven today and I hurt for her. Please pray for her that she should find peace in God's plan for her baby.

Here is a pic of Gage with Daimen's monkey. I am going to take a picture of him with this monkey the 17th of each month so we can see his growth on a monthly basis. Here is his two month picture.

In the picture below you will see that every shirt and I mean every and any ones must be tasted, Gage will use his hands and keep working it until he can get his little tongue on his shirt, silly child.

Tomorrow come on back for Daimen's man-scapeing lesson and Gage's showing off hands & feet.
