02-29-08 - Leap Day
This morning i went to work super early to train someone to clean our disgusting bottle machines. Once I arrived I found out that they only scheduled her for 1 hour and me for 4. ARGH!
Just as my shift of disgustingness was ending, and I was plotting a 4 hour shower upon my return home, we received a phone call....
One of our coworkers, Stephanie, is MIA. She recently (last weekend) moved into her own apartment. She used to live with her sister and her niece, however her niece is getting married, so they all got new apartments when the lease was up. Stephie was sick this week. She went home tuesday , an wed went to the local immediate care center to get treated as she has no PCP. They diagnosed her with " a flu in her lungs"..(isnt that pneumonia?). Yesterday her sister checked on her in the morning and she was asking for her husband Larry, who has been dead for several years (maybe 7-10?). Yesterday evening, she didnt answer the phone at all. This morning her sister tried to call her and stopped by on her way to work. She didnt answer either the door or the phone. She will be going over at lunch with the landlord to get inside to check on Stephanie. But, int he mean time, I am extremely anxious and concerned. Even if she is ok. She can't be very OK or she would have answered the phone.
So I am going in tonight to cover the shift she is supposed to be working, and am terrified about this.
So, please...everyone...give Stephie your prayers. To whichever god or goddess you desire.
Thank you.

02-26-08- Ballet, Birthdays, Babies, and Baths!
First and foremost, I apologize for abandoning all of you for forever. It has been somewhat hectic over here in Cookieville, and as I slowly dig myself out of all the fun and games...lol I thought I would finally bring you all up to speed....hehe..
So, going backwards...lol.....today Desi came home with her new ballet recital costume. It is incredibly cute, but it doesn't fit properly. I am a bit disgruntled by that. Apparently I now need to become a seamstress in order to have my child outfitted properly for ballet. She also complains that the inside of it is itchy, and she is not supposed to wear anything beneath it. I am going to have to speak to her teacher about options in relation to that problem. Possibly a nude leotard, similar to what the skaters wear with their costumes.....Here she is not fully in costume, but it is an idea of what it looks like....
This past weekend we attended delencrie's daughter's 2nd birthday party! She was super cute!
Sephie was thrilled to be there also. She was so distracted by all the fun that she drank from her cup upside down...lol
Also in new Sephie news.... she is sitting up, crawling, and attempting to pull herself up to stand...AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
lol....
Her tub broke recently, and in order to give her a bath, aric wouldnt just hold her while leaning over the side, so he would put on his swim trunks and sit in the bath with her...It was very cute...but he wouldnt let me near him with the camera while doing it! I personally couldnt lean over the tub at all. It killed my back and so, I have been attempting to find a new tub. Apparently, however, they do not carry TODDLER tubs in the local stores anymore, just baby ones. Sephie prefers to sit up and splash and kick, which she cant do while reclining.....obviously. So I purchased her a bumbo. It is a seat for babies who are not sitting up fully on their own, but it has an optional play/feeding tray that can be added onto it.
She has finally mastered sitting up by herself, but I am still worried about her in the tub. Plus she and Desi like to take baths together and splash each other. I am not comfortable letting her sit without any support or any protection in the tub with Desi. So I put the bumbo in the tub and plop her into it. It has worked rather well so far.
And thats all for now.....

01-27-08 - I FORGOT..BAD MOMMY!
OK, so I am an absolutely TERRIBLE Mommy! Or a very busy and tired one!
I forgot to login to tell you all that on Friday afternoon Sephie strung her first words together....as in she said her first two words, and strung them together....
We have long agreed that she says "hi". We just weren't SURE as she just enjoyed saying it, and would repeat it often, regardless of the situation. Normally, I would hear it when I came to get her in the middle of the night....
On Friday, I had beaten Cookie home from work, and had Sephie. She was hanging out in her jumper. Jump jump JUMPing like a Crazy Kangaroo on Acid when he got home. He walked into the room and crouched down to see her and said "Hi Persephone." (All happy and cheery like people do to babies...)
She stopped jumping, looked right at him, and said plain as day.... "HI Dadadadadada!"
HA! So there you have it, her first words AND sentence at 2 days younger than 7 months...HI DADA!
LOL....
Someone tried to tell him that she just was making noise, and yeah ok... that would be vaild...had she not used it IN CONTEXT...she greeted him. And based on her yelling dadadadadadadadadadadada yesterday morning after he left for work and getting mad and raspberrying me when he didn't answer, tells me she DEFINITELY knows what it means. PLUS I tend to tell her DADADADADADA instead of just Dada... And MAMAMAMAMAMA instead of Mama...
so I believe she is copying me....lol...
And so ends your baby update this week....tune in next week for more exciting news from Cookieville!
