Happy Birthday Victoria!!

Before I head to bed, I am gonna wish my baby girl a HAPPY HAPPY 4th birthday to Victoria!! You are getting to be such a big girl and it is so fun to have conversations with you, your helping around the house and the adorable things you say! While we were making your cake today, I asked whether you wanted a pink on pink cake or if you'd like a pink on purple cake and your reply was "No, maybe I don't like purple." :) We love you so much you big girl!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Sick, sick, sick!

Well, our family has been able to evade the any type of sickness in our home for quite awhile now. About a month ago I was pre-admitted to the hospital for some back pain I was having, turns out I was very, very close to a kidney infection. They gave me an IV and prescribed some meds and my 10:30am appointment lasted 6 hours! I picked the perfect time to forget my Kindle...  It took a couple weeks for me to fully recover (if you know me, I am very much like my Mom. Rest? What does that mean..) all good now! Just had my 25 week check up this past Monday, baby's heartbeat is perfect and I am measuring right on to date.

This past Thursday, our little Josephine woke up one night with a little bit of labored breathing. Definitely more struggling than we would ever like to see again. By, the next morning( Spencer was at work ) we had made her an appointment with her pediatrician, and within 5 minutes of talking to the doctor she felt it was best for us to take her to the ER for an antihistamine breathing treatment and a oral steroid and within minutes she was already breathing better! By the next evening her breathing was starting to seem clogged, she was getting noisy and her nostrils flaring, so, off to the ER again. This time, since she took to the medicine so well they went ahead and prescribed us the steroid to take home. Which was a good thing! The next night she needed it! Phew! Glad that's over. Josie is much, much better today. The only thing that lingers is a little cough, which I will happily take.
 Now that she is better, she has gotten the rest of us sick! Nice croupy voices and coughs! Victoria has had the worst with the cough and her little voice sound like a mouse, as long as she listens to us and RESTS like we tell her to she should get better in no time. She fell asleep 2 hours before bedtime tonight she is so exhausted. Hoping for a healthier us tomorrow! (Some grocery shopping needs to happen! ;) )

Before we all got sick, Victoria was able to have some fun in the snow! She was the cutest thing, she kept trying to tease me and hit my camera with her snow. I didn't even think about telling her to stop, she was enjoying it too much. :) Here is a link to that afternoon. (Josie was sleeping inside getting better!) 

Snow fun!

Silly girl

I am working on a blog post, but am playing around with some colors on my PhotoShop and came across this picture. I was taking pictures for a good friend of mine and Tori popped in and wanted some attention and I got this cute little face. This is very much her, in your face and silly! :) 

Happy Birthday..

Dig, dig, dig!

Look Mom and Dad, check out what's in here!

 

Those 4 pieces of tissue paper were awfully tricky.. 

She needed sister's help to take it out and get her present!

So excited when she saw what was in there!

Love these faces!

So happy to have a Mili doll! She sings, counts, has shapes to press and says her ABCs.

(Mili from Team Umizoomi in NickJr., her favorite thing in the world right now)

(she was upset i took the candles away.. haha)

She devoured the cake!
(I decided to take pictures of her present and handed the camera to Dad while I lit the candles. There is a video I will post!)

Kisses!!

Love my pretty girls! Happy 2nd Birthday Josephine!!
