Thankful it's Monday!!

Well that was one of the longest weekends of my life. B was away Thursday to Sunday. And Wednesday Isla came down with some nasty virus. Thursday night at 2:00 am she woke vomiting and with a fever of 104.2. I couldn't keep the tylenol in her to lower her fever. It was so scary and I felt so alone. I sat on my couch holding what felt like the hottest baby ever and praying. Calling out to the Lord to be near and to heal this little babe. By Saturday she was close to normal again.




She was feeling so well in fact that she took her first steps!! :)




These punching things  which were bought for Liam's birthday party from 5 below have provided hours of entertainment. Even Isla knows how to punch!





He takes it down!

Well I'm off to enjoy the fact that my husband is back and life has resumed some sort of normalcy.

Stuff

Kneeling:
I love that she sits like this. It's probably bad for her for some reason, but it's so darn cute.



Black and White window pictures:
I like that they are moody and shadowy and soft. I like the blur. I like her, even though she wakes me every night multiple times. Its amazing, if B woke me that many times, I don't think I'd wake to him with a smile. 

The funny face:
It will never get old.  Looks particularly lovely with a runny nose, don't you think? 


Warm nights:
Oh how I love a warm night. These days of playing in the grass and swinging till the sun sets are leaving. I'm sad, for I am a true summer gal. I'd like to live in Florida or California, I swear I wouldn't miss the lack of season change. I know some people say I would, but they don't know me. I love warmth. I hate snow. Although, I do love pumpkin bread and muffins. Every year around this time. it hits me, I get a serious craving for pumpkin flavors and I convince Liam to make them with me with a promise of batter licking. But they sell canned pumpkin at Target in Florida right?



Superhero birthday parties:
They are fun, but you should plan for children crying. Especially when you have surprise villains on the premises with water guns and red and green hair taunting them the partygoers at every other station. Can you pick the criers our from this one?

Birthday boys:
Are cute. 5 candles is too many. Grandma's who help plan the superhero parties sure do come in handy :)  As do friend's moms who take care of the crying children who you've scared.


Isla's hat
Really? How did she get this cute?  She loves crusin around her little car, getting in and out, in and out. Opening and shutting. Pointing. 
As much as I love the hat, it's just a sign that fall is here and winter is coming. I guess I might miss hats if I live in Florida? I'd miss them on Isla. 



Daddy loving on his girl
Can't you just see the love? Isla is trying to escape or point elsewhere, of course, which is typical Isla. She's a busy little gal, always moving and turning in your arms. But she loves her dada and, well it's obvious how he feels.

 



Superman
Good night superman.

The best smile ever. Pure joy.


The Amber necklace:
Unsure if it works, but worth trying. Plus, its  pretty darn cute and a sweet friend made it for her.


Peek! 
Guess who climbed up the slide yesterday? Sister knows how to get up all by her self and then slide back down on her tummy. Good thing she isn't sleeping in her crib or she'd be jumping out already.



And now it's getting late, and I'm getting tired.
Good night to you and you and you.
