Money is the root of all evil, period.
I hate money, bills, groceries & everything else tied to money. As you can tell my day isnt going right and I need to rant. I forgot the electricity bill and when it went through it put us negative. I hate being negative, then the bank charges us yet another $25, so what I am -$50 by the end of it. Just for one stupid mistake. I wish banks were forgiving, haha...thats almost laughable. Just yet another reason why I'm loving my cloth diapers ( I think I have cloth diapers on the brain) I dont have to bitch about needing another package of $30 'sposie diapers that I will throw away. Also glad that we went to Costco for grocery shopping last week, I will never run out of chicken nuggets or fish sticks ever.

...so I abandoned my blog for what? 3 months now.
Life is busy, when is it not. Kyler is completly mobile, walking and getting into everything a 13 month old should (or err shouldnt?) His new baby sister is halfway baked, and we are pretty mellow with this pregnancy, plus like Kyler's its pretty easy. I think the first baby frantic, oh my god we need everything mentality is way over. I gave up disposable diapers, it burns a hole in your pocket. We have completely moved over to cloth diapers. Don't shake your head...I see you. Cloth is way past those flat diapers & pins your mothers & grandmothers used. There cute, fun and easy to use! Plus Kyler's bum is looking better then ever. I am trying to learn to sew diapers on my own and hoping by fall I will have my own online store open, ya know in between school, a busy-busy toddler, a newborn and my family.

Slacker.
I've been on the slow side to updating my blog, I've been so busy. Kyler is 10 months old as of last Saturday, and I am 10 weeks pregnant with out second "gooblet". We are thinking this will be our last child, for more reasons then one. Which at this time I will not list. I start my first three college classes April 5th, I'm excited to finally get a chance to go to school & move out into my career, Med Trans.
Back to Kyler news: Hes starting to walk, holding on to his walker that he can push. My baby boy is getting so big, almost his first birthday, which I pretty much have planned. I was thinking of doing my own birthday cake for Kyler, but after thinking about it, I just am not the decorative cake type person, so we decided on a ice cream cake from Dairy Queen, and a cupcake (ahem no sugar) for Kyler to smush his face in.

I'm a big boy
No more pureed baby food for my lil guy, nope, no way no how. Hes moved on to finger foods. Another milestone gone, never to come across again. My baby is growing up way to fast, makes me want another. We went shopping for "finger foods" at the grocery store and came home sporting a whole aray of new and intresting (to Kyler) foods for him to gobble up. His first new food was chicken ravioli with carrots & carrot chunks, dessert was a few diced peices of apple. He poked at the ravioli, squished it in his hand, then licked it. After that the ravioli was history, gone in a matter of minutes. Carrots took a bit longer, he didnt dig those as much. The apples were a complete no-no in Kyler's book, he puckered at them. Ah well...a new food tomorrow and new adventure.

Rambling
We've made it a week. Kyler had a double ear infection, hence my lack in updating my blog, but with meds, which are a chore to adminster, Kyler is getting better. Our dog on the other hand, has started showing signs of seperation anxiety. He whines, scratches at the kitchen floor at night. Walks so close to you that you trip over him. This morning we left him out to roam the house while we went grocery shopping and came home to the carpet by the front door all tore up. My husband was furious, but couldnt blame him. We are going to invest in a crate & hope it helps.

Ear Infections GRR!
Kyler has another suspected ear infection, so hes off to the doctors tomorrow at 10am. Poor guy. Hes so cranky & grouchy, he didnt even want anything to do with mommy today, it was "I want dad day." To bad dad left at 3pm for work for the evening. Atleast Kyler is taking a well needed nap, plus I think I needed a break, my ears are appreciative, with all that screaming.

We survived Christmas.
Now we have a whole livingroom full of baby toys. On a good day Kyler can spread toys from one end of the livingroom to the other and still have some left to take out. Christmas eve Kyler came down with an awful rash, from his face to his toes, we think he had an allergic reaction to the yobaby yogurt we bought him to try. OOPS. We still have the trip to Wisconsin this Wednesday, K finally gets to meet the other side of the family. Just as our luck, his seperation anxiety is in full force. This should be an exciting trip. (ahem sacastic)

K is standing
Yep hes standing, on his own. He pulls himself up then smiles! I'm so proud of him. Now only if he could just stop doing it in the middle of the night. He's become a little monkey, hanging off of things and becoming quite the little acrobat. Hes finally feeling better, actually we all are & his ear infection seems to be going away. Tomorrow we decorate cookies, this should be intresting.

I hate Christmas
Call me the biggest scrooge you may. I dont like the holidays. There to busy, hecktic, time consuming, and the "best" comes out in everyone during the holidays. Minus this will be Kyler's first christmas, about the only thing I look forward too, not that he will understand & I have to open all his presents while he shreds and tastes all his wrapping paper. I'm honestly afraid when his grandma sent him home with two of his christmas presents because "she bought him to much."
As for K's first cold, he's doing much better & back to his screaming self, with an occasional sneeze & cough & his booger nose is getting better.

First Cold
Whine...whimper...sniffle, cough, cough.
Kyler has his first cold, it started last night right when I just got all comfy and warm in bed. He started wailing from his room, I looked at the clock, 10:00 I slugglishly retrived him thinking he just woke himself up and couldnt fall back to sleep, but no his nose was all stuffed up and he started a cough. I stayed up with him comforting and nursing him, before he finally fell asleep closer to midnight.
3:30 am - we are back up. I gave him the infant cold meds Ray picked up for him on his way home for work. We played, nursed and watched some t.v. then the meds must have hit him because he was out. I snuggled back in bed with Ray, to find I couldnt fall asleep. I layed there praying to fall asleep before Kyler started whimpering again. I guess it worked I woke back up at 7am. Minus Kyler being extrememly clingy (hey I am too when I am sick!) and wanting to nurse all the time, which I dont mind. His first cold is going OK - knock on wood.

No sleep?
In the Slieff house, there is no such thing as sleep. In the past week Kyler has decided he is both a day & night person, and won't sleep. Ray & I sit there at 2 a.m. wide awake saying "no its your turn, I went and got him last time." I have no clue why there is even a statement saying sleeping like a baby because babies don't sleep.
Update on the EVIL bottle:
We went to store and bought new bottle nipples for Kyler, there shaped more like his NUK pacifers and today actually drank from a bottle. I'm not to excited, but makes me more comfortable going back to work knowing he will get food.

Bottles are evil
Or so says my son. Who screams at the site of one of those evil, evil bottles. We left Kyler at grandma's today, so hubby & me could get some things done, mostly job hunting. We were gone for 5 hours. Came back to find that Kyler hadnt taken any of his bottle I left for him, bad mommy. I should have known better, a breastfed child will always reject the artificial crap. He only wants one thing and one thing only me and his nummies. Smart Kid.
