Did you hear the one about the sick girl, the big girl and the silly girl?

 

Yesterday was quite the day.  It started off relatively quiet...but that changed quickly.  I was sitting at the dining room table working on my computer when I heard a sudden burst of quick little footsteps and then a splash.  Yep, Lynsey Jo (who hadn't woke up feeling fine but started to feel icky around noon) had throw up all over our living room carpet.  My poor baby girl!  Bret and I went into Mommy-and-Daddy-Clean-Up mode...he started scrubbing the carpet, I grabbed a bowl for Lynsey, and we got the mess cleaned up and Lynsey Jo all cleaned up too.  It came out of the blue and hit her hard.  She didn't eat a bit the rest of the day and just laid around on the couch.  Around 5PM she fell asleep while watching Food Network (yes, she is her Momma's daughter) and pretty much slept the rest of the day away - until about 8AM this morning.  Her fever has broke and no more throwing up, but we're still playing it safe and she's limited to the BRAT diet - bananas, rice, applesauce and toast.  Not too yummy, but better to be safe than sorry.

And, Kelci is growing up SO fast!!  After a couple weeks of trying REALLY hard Kelci finally rolled ALL the way over by herself!!  She been rolling most of the way over for a couple weeks now, but that darn arm kept getting caught under her body so she wasn't able to make it all the way over.  Well, yesterday while we were all running around cleaning and taking care of our sick girl she pulled a fast one on us and flipped over.  I had her on the floor playing on her play mat, and next thing I know...she's on her tummy!!  We were so excited for her.  c:  She'll be running around before any of us knows it.

As usual, Bayleigh kept us laughing through it all.  Her latest accomplishment - opening doors.  She now knows how to open all the doors in our house and loves to do it.  She really loves to open then, yell something at you (something like..."bye Mommy!") then slam it shut.  Then, open it up and do it again.  She just cracks up the whole time.  (It's awesome how much that little girl loves to laugh.  But, at the same time, when she's not happy she's REALLY not happy!)  c:  She's LOVING her new big-girl-room and doing SO well at staying in bed.  In fact, it used to take her about an hour or longer to fall asleep when she was in her crib.  Now, she's usually asleep within about 10-15 minutes.  It's awesome!  (First couple nights were hard, had to tell her to get back in bed about 50 times...but now she never gets out.)  And, she's been sleeping with her door open so Whiskers likes to sneak in and sleep with her.  

Not much else new here.  Bret and I are happy and healthy, and excited to have just celebrated 3 years of marriage.  (Woohoo!)  Our world is limited to work, kids and cleaning most days...nothing exciting.  But, the kids make sure to keep up laughing with their funny sayings and behaviors.  I'll keep an ear out for any funny Lynsey Jo, Bayleigh Savana, and Kelci Lee stories and will make sure to share them as they happen.  I hope you all are well!

All our love to all,
Leslie Marie and family...<3
