Day by Day

Yesterday I had my first real test. I had to take Devin and Taeler to the doctor because Taeler has a horrible cough. It wasnt too awfully bad except for the parts where Taeler wouldnt get on the scale and Devin went under the table and came up too fast and hit her head. Taeler just has a small cold and the Dr said that it is probably because she has had allergies pretty bad and it just turned into a cold. Hopefully Devin wont get it but I wouldnt lay money on it.

Today has been HORRIBLE. Devin didnt go to bed until 11:30 last night and she woke up at 1a crying. She has been a HELL raiser ALLDAY!! I actually had to leave the house and take Taeler to the park because I could not handle it. While we were at the park I was trying to think of reasons why Devin would be acting like this. She is usually the PERFECT baby and is in a great mood.There are two possibilities that I came up with 1)She is SUPER tired. Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday night he went to bed WAY past her bed time and she has not taken a long nap any of those days. 2) She is getting sick. It is very likely that she is getting sick and just plain doesnt feel good. These are two very probably causes. As I suspected there was a reason but not one that I had thought of. I felt in her mouth just by some small chance that she was cutting teeth and much to my surprise we had two new canines. I didnt really consider this because we have NEVER had any problems cutting teeth. Usually I dont even know they are there until by some chance I see them but believe me this time it is different.

The girls are having a GREAT time together, me on the other hand I might have to check into a psych ward when this is over and it has NOTHING to do with Taeler!!! I love them both and Dusty is doing a GREAT job putting up with me and my crazyness!!

Hard Night

Last night was a rough night for both Devin and me. She pooped in the bath AGAIN. It was kind of my fault because I knew she hadnt pooped all day but she really wanted to take a bath. I guess from  now on if she doesnt poop during the day she doesnt get a bath that night. I dont know what else to do because the internet says not to punish her because that will effect potty training. Ugh so frustrating!!!!

Double Trouble

Tomorrow is the day! Devin and I are heading to Tulia tomorrow to pick up Taeler and bring her back with us. She will be here for 3 weeks. I am hoping this will take some of the pressure off of me to entertain. I am also hoping Taeler will give Devin the idea that it is time to tee tee in the potty. Taeler is potty trained so I am crossing my fingers Devin will be TRYING by the time our 3 weeks is up.

Terrible Twos

I have decided that Devin is starting the terrible twos early. She is very defiante and I can say her name 50 times and she still doesnt pay attention. I am trying very hard to be understanding but sometimes enough is enough. She is still a very sweet little girl and I know she is just trying to see how far she can actually push  me before she gets in trouble.

One thing that I have found that has helped out immensly is the TV I put in her room. I turn it on and she goes in there and plays instead of getting into everything in the living room that she is not suppose to. When we wake up she wants on the bed to watch Mo(Elmo) and when she gets out of the bath she wants on the bed to watch Mo. She is a very independant little girl.

Update

Devin will be 18 months old on the 4th of March. She is something else. There are days that I think...who is this little person?? We have adventures EVERYDAY!! I cant believe how different she is from week to week. We had a super adventerous day on Friday. She climbed on the kitchen table(I do watch her but she had been sitting at the table eating gold fish and the next thing I know she is on top of the table), next she was playing in her room and I realized it got very quiet so I got up to go check on her and she came running down the hall with Desitin all around her mouth, then at bath time she was "swimming" and all of the sudden started grunting and it was too late. So I got to clean poop out of the bath! YAY!

Crystal-I am super stressed this semester. I was told I couldnt get into the teaching program at Tech this semester so I decided to take 17 hrs here in Dallas. Well at the LAST minute the program director called and said she could get me in so I took on 6 more hours for a total of 23 hrs. I am also still working part time. Devin is wanting to stay up later so my study/homework time is VERY limited but somehow I am getting it done!

Dusty-Is being a GREAT supporter. He gives Devin and me everything that we need and he almost NEVER gripes. He is a great dad and husband(well might as well call him that)!! As for him, he had some chest pains a month ago and thought it was his heart but thank goodness he was only having anxiety because of work and it is very easily controlled.

We are all doing great and I will try to be better at this!

Blog

So I have had a lot on my plate and actually forgot I made this blog. I am going to try and keep better track of it.
