Baking Cookies

Ellie and I decided to bake cookies on Saturday.

We had to play around a little before getting down to business.

So many kisses!

And a game of Kissy Monster...

 

Ellie pulls her chair up to the stove to start the mixing.

Then demonstrates one of her favorite Ellie moves...screaming...

She liked tasting the sugar...

And the brown sugar...

And the baking soda...

And cracking the eggs...

And sticking her fingers in the bowl

TWICE!

She liked smelling the vanilla

But not the sound of the mixer.

Hey!

More mixing!?! No!

And playing around more while the cookies bake...

"Mama, when are the cookies going to be done?"

Mommy is learning new things...

Case in point:

I am trying to figure out how to get this printed because it is 12x12.

Stay tuned!

Baby Megs and Her New Hat!

Here is one of the super cute hats Grandma Cindy sent Baby Megs.

Baby Megs liked her new hat!

We all thought she was really cute in it!

Our Weekend

Weekends at the Sears Household involve lots of naps and playing around.

And here she is trying to suck on Daddy's face!

Ellie and I went to the pond close to our house. Ellie likes to feed the ducks. There are geese at the pond but they are kind of mean and hiss at us a lot.

Here is the pollen I mentioned in the previous post. It collects on EVERYTHING. Ellie's breathing is a bit better, I cannot wait for this pollen to be gone...

Here is one of the ducks we fed. We had to hightail it away from him when a goose started hissing at us.

Ellie walking around the pond.

And, feeding another duck.

Come visit and we will take you to the pond, you can even fish there!

Hello There, Reactive Ariway Disease

Poor Ellie has been having a heck of a time with her allergies and her reactive airway (aka, asthma). Thursday when I picked her up from school we came hope to play outside with her new bubble machine. She played out there for about 30 minutes, then came back in and her eyes were swollen almost completely shut. She had also started coughing really bad. I gave her some Benadryl and we started her Pulmicort nebulizer again.

Friday she seemed to be a little better. No wheezing, a little coughing. Dropped her off at school with explicit instructions to call me if she started wheezing. When I picked her up she wasn't wheezing but had some serious coughing. We got home and to stop the coughing had to give her an albuterol nebulizer treatment. Albuterol is great at reducing her coughing but it jazzes her up and she can't sleep. She and Chris stayed up until about 11:30 when she fell asleep watching Fox and the Hound.

Saturday things were a bit better until she tried to go to sleep. Coughing...so much coughing. I thought she was going to vomit she was coughing so much. She was withering in pain every time she coughed. Again with the albuterol treatment, this time at 11:00pm. She was up until 1:30am with Chris.

To make a long story short (too late) she is having one heck of a time kicking this stuff. It doesn't help that the pollen is so bad here right now that sheets of yellow cover all of the cars, houses, decks, etc. Plus, the albuterol is throwing off her sleep schedule, majorly!

Please send good breathing vibes Ellie's way, this could be a long spring!

Mama is a Pushover

A lot of people don't know that I actually have three baby girls. Ellie, Baby Megs and Katie The Dog. I am indulgent with all three of them, Baby Megs probably the most (she is just 4 months old, so can she really be spoiled too much?). I don't like it when she cries while going to sleep at night. So, a lot of times I let her fall asleep on our bed then take her to her crib. A few evenings ago I put her on our bed then went to do something with Ellie, when I came back this is what I found...

The dog and the infant, together, warm and snuggly. I am going to lose all parent safety tests.

But, they are both so darn cute and comfy!
