long time no blog...

I cant believe it has been since Thanksgiving that i blogged. We have had alot going on. Lets see 1 stomach virus that thankfully Mallory kept to herself, 1 black eye from falling in the bathtub, 1 fall down the stairs and a couple of ear infections to add to the list. Mallory is 20 months now and it is making us laugh everyday. It seems like now she learns a new word or does a new dance or comes home with something from school. Like ring around the rosie. She grabs our hands and just loves the fall down part.

So i was noticing that the last blog was also about Kevin not doing so good with his neck/arm. He now is feeling 99.9 % better but they are still keeping him on some nerve medication just to make sure the nerves heal. His banquet season is in full swing and he is slowly getting back into the hang of things. Every year it seems to come up faster.

So on Thursday is my 31st birthday. Last year i was having a crisis over 30 and made it thru regardless of the stomach bug so this year 31 doesnt seem that bad but i do think that having another baby better happen sooner than later i am not getting any younger. i was talking to the director at Mallory's school and she asked if we were thinking about it and i told her "i missed the memo where it is buy one get one free at her school".

Just to document but we really have been torn over Mallory's paci and i really wanted to go cold turkey and just suffer thru it this weekend. Some of these baby websites were saying that children with pacifiers get more ear infections. Really! Also the gap in her front teeth is probably from her dad but what if its not. So we only let her have it at nap and bedtime instead of us suckers letting her have it all weekend. So tonite she did not even ask for it b/c she was distracted with toys but when i laid her down still nothing about the paci so i thought i would give it a try. I have been watching the monitor like a hawk and she did take a bit longer to fall asleep but as of now she is out asleep. This is a close to cold turkey as i could get. Fingers crossed but i am going to try my best to not let her have it.

I have some great videos on my new video camera that i will try to upload soon.
