I poo, I poo

Bree announced "I poo, I poo" proudly while sitting in the tub tonight. Well I guess I did need to clean her tub anyway :-/   That's what get for doing other things while sitting next to the tub and not watching her every move. Oh well it's a great time to get other things done, like writing this post. 

She's starting to enjoy talking more and is trying more words.  At Lowe's she seen an owl and kept repeating "owl" all while we were there.  

I said temperature sometime today and she pointed to her ear.  She knows I take her temperature via her ear.  So smart.  

She pats her bum when wants a chair. And pulls her hands away from each other when she wants to open a zip lock bag.  

Also she knows how to get my attention when she wants it.  Pretends her shoe fell off. Pretends she can't get the puzzle piece in the right spot. 

Leak and sickies

Ryan went camping with the scouts and I  stayed home. I normally like to spend it elsewhere cause I don't like to be home alone. In the middle of the night Bree's monitor turned off.  I discovered the the breaker in her room flipped. The old humidifier may have done it. Well being home alone at night I'm already uneasy and then unsure as to what caused this freaked me out even more.  Well when I walked deeper into her room to make sure she was fine and my eyes not adjusted to the dark yet from the hallway I didn't see her.  She was in her grey jammies my heart must have skipped a beat. I reached in slowly and was so grateful to feel her fleece material PJ's.  I spent the rest of the night on the ground in her room gun tucked close by.

The next morning I noticed a black spot on the ceiling.  My first thought was burn, cause of the breaker flipping. When I climbed closer I seen it was fuzzy so I knew it was mold.  At first we thought maybe it might could have been the humidifier but no it was the condensing line from the furnace.  We got the HVAC company to fix it so now the problem is all gone but we had the guys fixing the problems all while we were sick.  It would have been nice to just relax.

Bree caught Hand foot and mouth from work and had to stay home from work.  It started with a fever for two and a half days and and we noticed what looked like a rash around her mouth at the end of day two. It could have been worse but she only showed signs on her mouth and hands. She didn't want to eat much solids so we feed her pediasure for a few days. She only threw up a few times so we didn't need to give her pedialight. Though we did have to stay home from work for the week.

Easter

We went to Mike and Debbie for Easter.  I knew Debbie would enjoy watching Bree search for eggs. I got her a couple other cute gifts too. She got a chirping chick and a inflatable kite.  grandma Debbie got her a cute dress and a teddy bear.  Bree loved searching for the eggs and all the attention she got from the three of us.

Bree's interest

She currently loves puzzles, putting things in containers, rocking babies in their car seats and five them toys at work, laughing at herself for attention, pointing at the radio in the car to turn it on, color pictures with crayons, eating bananas by herself.  Tries anything she sees mommy do. 

Doesn't like things in her crib when throwing a fit, she throws them out. 

Kneading Bread

I was unsure of what to get Mike for Christmas so I decided on something I knew he'd enjoy. Homemade bread & his moms rolls.  He can enjoy it whenever he would like.  

Well Aubree wanted attention so I let her stand in her high chair while I worked on the bread.  She was playing with a kitchen towel on the counter mimicking me kneading the bread.  Oh she SO loves to copy me! It's so cute! 

Without daddy

The past two weekends daddy has been out of town.  The first weekend was to get a new tractor for Mike.  It was in Oklahoma and he got a good deal on it so they drove there to go pick it up.  The second weekend was to go hunt for Elk. Come Sunday morning we hadn't head from the guys since the night they arrived.  We were starting to get a little nervous.  I thought Ry would check in a little more but when he got back informed me of his unplugged weekend plan.  Well it was nice to have our boys come back home safe and sound.  :-D. Unfortunately they didn't see any elk or wolf.  Bree had pointed at the pictures of daddy a few times over the weekend. It was cute.  We missed daddy. And it cute to know daddy missed us too.  I loved that gave Bree lots of love when he got home and wanted to cuddle with me all night :-D 

A new job

I recently started a job at a Day care in a athletic club.  I love it!  It has been a plus all around.  It's great for the extra cash, for me to be able to get out of the house, for Aubree to learn some great skills around other kids.  Aubree likes it sometimes and then is more clingy other times but she has been pretty great at letting me hold other kids/babies when they are hurt or need some extra attention.  She is beginning to take interest in babies.  When they are in there she keeps going back to look at them, and wants to touch them.  We recently had a three month old in there and just yesterday a three week old.  Wow I don't think I'd want to leave my own that age with a stranger with a bunch of other kids, but I love being the one to watch them.  I love holding the little babies!  

Daddy did good Yesterday.  He brought home a surprise dinner!  It was nice!  I love not having to make and clean up dinner every now and then and a surprise is even better :-D   And he even got home from work before me!  That is something I could get used to :-D


Aubree's stages recently!  She likes to be carried down the stairs.  Not sure why.  She'll just stand at the top till I grab her.  Now if I wasn't standing there I think she'd just come on down by herself.  She loves baby dolls, fisher price people, sitting on anything and everything (including dad's head if he's on the ground), purses, shoes.  Unloading the dishwasher!
