Sickness

Ok EVERYONE in my house/extended house has been sick. First Jacob came home with it from his dad's (so maybe I should blame him. lol) Jacob was throwing up and diarrhea for a good solid day. He spent a lot of the day while I was at work in my room watching tv. He of course didn't call me til around lunch time to tell me that he had thrown up and was going to stay in my room. My response was "um...ok." He's getting so big and sometimes he acts like he doesn't need mommy anymore. :( That of course is not cool with me. Even tho he's a double digit kid now, he's still my baby.

Then Blake, Ryan, and mom get it all at once. Addison actually started gagging some (remember she can't throw up) and having some diarrhea so I went ahead and took her to the hospital. I'm still a little paranoid about her getting sick since she's not able to get out infections the normal way. She ended up having a sinus infection and I think a virus. (It's been a few weeks so gimme a break. lol)

Then Josh's 7 year old gets it. Then Josh's mom gets it. They both ended up going to the ER and THEN when Josh took his mom to the ER he calls me to come get them because he's throwing up in the parking lot of the hospital. So there's Jacob, Ryan, Blake, mom, Josh's mom, Gabe, and Josh all within a week maybe.

Then the day before New Year's Eve I come into work and get sent home because apparently my eye was red enough to where the Employee Health RN wouldn't come near me and told me I couldn't come back to work without a doctor's note. Good grief! BUT at least I wasn't vomiting or anything so I'd rather take the pink eye. And to make it worse I've completely screwed up my dieting so it's been a crazy holiday season but I'm looking forward to all the exciting things to come in 2011.

On the plus side...Addison has learned to feed herself finger foods. She's been eating banana puffs and will grab anything that's near her and help herself to shoving it in her mouth before anyone can take it from her. I've started putting her in the baby bed covered with her new Christmas toys and she sits in there for what seems like hours just playing and playing. Since I've started doing that she's learned to pull herself to a standing position in her crib. Yay! She's not quite crawling yet but she grabs whatever she can and pulls herself wherever she wants to go. As long as she's sitting up at least. She still doesn't really like being on her belly since all of her stomach problems so I'm starting to doubt whether she will even crawl anyways since she hates being on her belly that bad. She wants to always be standing up so we're thinking she may just skip that and go right to walking. I think crawling is cute so I kinda want her to crawl. :( Anyways...pictures! Hope everyone had a good Christmas and safe New Years!

Pulling herself up by herself in the bed and she's getting curls!

Eating banana puffs...one of her favorites. She literally will dive for these things. You can see her little scar on her belly in this one too. It looks really good and is barely noticeable anymore.
