I'm truly saddend by Jon & Kate Goesslin. I really hoped they'd be able to work out their relationship for the kids. It sounds like they want to remain friends and are attempting to keep the kids happy. :(



On a happier note, here is part of Dougs Father's Day present:

(the letters spell daddy). We went to the park and relaxed all day :)

and more cute pants for you:

How cute is he???

Not me Monday!

I just realized it's Not Me Monday! For an explanation, visit http://www.mycharmingkids.net/ !

I most certainly did not let my child poop on a hotel floor (ok, not all the poop, just the I took the other diaper away and haven't gotten the other one on yet poop). The hotel would most certianly have not deserved it, either!

I'm definitely not enjoying The Suite Life of Zach and Cody, The Suite Life on Deck and Wizards of Waverly Place and do not watch them every day.

I do not have 3 loads of laundry to put away and 2 in the machines. Not me.

I also do not have a bedroom to get clean before tomorrow morning, when our new bed is delivered. And I certainly do not not know when the last time under the bed was cleaned.

And, lastly, DH did not give our little son powdered sugar off of a funnel cake. Nope, not him.

Ugh. Lots to write about.

Ollie was sick with a stomach bug. It lasted several long, miserable days. We went to the dr Tuesday & Friday. He seems to be normal as of yesterday/today. He pooped on the carpet of the hotel. Haha, take that crappy hotel!

We had fun in Baltimore. (More on that later. Ollie's thrashing in my lap). He loved the monkeys, elephants and fish at the zoo. I think the boys might have enjoyed the aquarium more, but oh well :P Ollie picked out a stuffed monkey for a souvenir (did we expect anything else?).
Hotel. Zoo (my reminders for later).

We're getting our new bed tomorrow. I had to go out and buy new sheets (it's a King size!!!) on top of cleaning the bedroom. Of course, now Ollie wants to be in my arms and I can't get anymore cleaning done. Arg! Oh well.

I think theres more, but I can't think..Hm. Traffic on 95/66 sucks! It took us 7.5 hours to get home, when it only took us about 3 to get there!!!

Oh! Ollie is 18lbs 6 oz! Brandon was 17lbs 3 oz on Monday, this is the closest they've been weighed since they were born!

So our little guy is under the weather :( We've had several bad vomiting episodes and several equally bad diarrhea episodes :( We saw Dr DeVries today and he said Tylenol for a fever, lethargy, etc. and to give him Pedialyte. Olliver seems to LOVE fruit flavored (no specific fruit, I suppose it's like fruit punch?) Pedialyte, he's sucked down 2 servings of it (8oz each) so far!

Holy crap! Thunder batman!!!!

Beth, Brandon, Doug, Olliver and I are going to Baltimore this weekend (if everyone stays semi-healthy!) We're going to the Maryland Zoo (did you know strollers are not allowed in the National Aquarium?? I think it's ridiculous because I'd think that most of their visitors would be wanting to use a stroller! I guess we'll just have to plan a trip to our other favorite aquarium in Georgia soon!!!) and a Braves vs. Orioles game. I can't wait - room service, swimming, etc. It'll be a nice mini-vacation I think.

Not much else - oh! Even Dr DV commented on how strong Olliver is! He loves standing, LOVES his walker and jumpers and hates hates hates sitting still!!! I have a boy who is going to skip crawling, skip walking and go straight to running, I think!! Next week we get our new bed! Our mattress is crappy and lumpy and leaning to one side, sooo we're getting a new - bigger! mattress! I can't wait! I'm hoping it'll help my back problems, but we'll see.

Ok, I better go before this storm electrocutes me for being on the computer!

At his 6 month appointment (when he was almost 7 mos old) Olliver was 27 3/4 inches, 18 in head circ and 17.7 lbs. Big boy! He's tall for his age with a head to match his height, but still under in weight. He's getting better about sitting up, loves eating, loves monkeys, is trying to hold his own sippy, eating puffs, loves eating, loves his walker! he tries to go to the TV and watch it. He manuevered through my yard sale-ized living room to the TV the other day to watch baseball :P Silly little monkey boy! Oh, did I mention he loves to eat? We have munchkin feeders that he loves using. We've put bananas, apple, cantalope and strawberries in there and he has a ball gnawing on them :) Ollie's been getting a LOT better about sitting in high chairs at restaurants, which is good!

It's been hectic around here! We've had picnics, we're getting ready for a yard sale this weekend and next month, Doug, Brandon, Beth, Olliver and I are going to the Baltimore aquarium and an Orioles/Braves game! Yaaaay :)

I've been addicted to gymboplace.com - it's a site where you can trade new/used Gymboree clothes :D They're having a sale starting Sunday and I can't wait!

Ugh, I need to get back to pricing, catagorizing, etc yard sale stuff. I can't wait to have my living room back!!!

Olliver is 17.8 lbs! Chunky Monkey!!

We had to go to the doc's today because he decided it'd be fun to scream from 4:30 yesterday afternoon until 7:30 this morning - well, scream when he wasn't sleeping. We tried teethers, we tried Tylenol, we tried Orajel, we tried bottles, we tried rocking, singing, music, sleeping - nada. I called the ped and he stopped :P Anyway, we saw Dr V - a new doc we hadn't seen - he said he has a cold in his ear, a regular cold, possibly a tooth coming in and had a fever. Oye! My poor boy :( If he's still fussing by Friday we're supposed to come back to recheck the ear to see if it turns into an infection. If not, then we'll go in Monday for his 6month visit.

And of course he just started fussing. Mmmm. I'll try to fiish this later.
