Colin 1 Week Picture

Colin Thomas O'Neil

He was born yesterday, February 19th at 9:16am. He weighed 7lbs 4 oz (same size as Caroline). So far he is a happy sleepy baby...lets hope he keeps it up.

Tessa is super excited to come meet him and will probably get to do so later today.

Caroline has been sick sick sick, so she will have to wait til Colin gets home...that meeting will be interesting.

Face Painting Two Year Old Style

I took Caroline to a small children's museum yesterday. She LOVED painting her face...pretty sure this is a direct result of Tessa getting makeup for Christmas.

She also spent 15+minutes sitting still while scooping colored vinegar onto baking soda. She NEVER sits still so we will have to repeat this activity at home sometime soon.

And, of course, driving the space ship was a big hit.

Caroline...

We eliminated all dairy from her diet almost 3 weeks ago and besides some early waking she has been sleeping much better!!! She now has a fever/cold and did get up the other night in need of Motrin, but then went right back to sleep.

Lets hope I've got it figured out...

I'm hoping she will be able to tolerate some dairy products, especially for the calcium they contain. We will see. She was having 20oz of milk a day on top of whatever else she ate...so hopefully she will be able to enjoy the occasional ice team, yogurt, chocolate, etc

And it does make me wonder if she can eat egg...some day Ill get brave and try some pancakes with egg.

Snow snow and more snow

Allergy testing

Since we are still discussing Caroline's night time sleep issues I decided it was finally time to do something about it. I was sorta hoping to find out she is allergic o something else and that is causing her sleep issues. No such luck, just egg.

So now we will eliminate dairy from her diet incase she is lactose intolerant. After that doesn't work we will try her on reflux meds.

Hopefully sometime soon we will have answers to why she is moaning and whining for hours at night at least 2-3 nights a week.

Caroline has the flu

According to Dr Tessa that is, here she is "sleeping" while dressed up as Tinkerbell, with soup to make her feel better.

Merry go round

Mention this to Caroline or have her see a merry go round in a book or on tv...and watch out. You better find a merry go round fast!

Working on...

Kitchen drapes for our sliding glass door and a kitchen shade for over the window.

Dining room valances for the windows as well as new seat cushions for the dining room chairs.

Joann's had a 15%off total coupon good only today. Hoping to get these projects done before Tim gets home from Colorado/Canada.

Oh and I finished a changing pad that coordinates with my diaper bag. And a shirt with some hello kitty fabric sewn on in the shape of a heart.

Pictures to come tomorrow.

And lastly (or at least for now)

 A new diaper bag, which means I want to make another changing pad that coordinates better
