BAD WEEKEND!

This weekend was horrible! Brookelyn-Grace's teeth are already through the gums and I'm guessing they were growing this weekend because all she did was eat her fist and whine! I felt so bad for her! I had to give her Tylenol every four hours. She would wake up from her naps and bedtime crying in her sleep. It was horrible! I wish I could take the pain away!!! On top of that we went Friday night to get her ears pierced at Wal-Mart. We went to Wal-Mart because they pierce ears with the gun's at the same time. Well Wal-Mart told me to call them before I come to make sure that two people would be working so that they could do the piercing at the same time. Well, I called Wal-Mart and they said it would be okay for me to come on up and get Brookelyn-Grace's ear's pierced. So we get to Wal-Mart and there is only one lady working. Really made me MAD!!! We decided to go ahead and get her ear's pierced anyway, and it was horrible! She loved the Wal-Mart lady! She thought she was the funnies thing ever!

I had so many people tell me that they only cry for a second...well Brookelyn-Grace cried for about 5 minutes! It was horrible! She has never cried so hard! It was a "you hurt my feeling's cry" She sobbed hours after too. I really think it hurt her feeling more that anything because Keith had to hold her down. After her ear's were pierced Keith handed her to me because she always wants her MOMMY when her not feel good :(. After I had her for a while she calmed down and Keith and I went and bought her a new Christmas book and a Goofy doll that talked. (She loves the characters off of Mickey Mouse Club House! She almost has all the characters!) So then Keith was going to carry her because she was killing my arm and he would hold his hands out for her and she would turn her head really fast and start fake crying. (She reached now!!!) It really hurt Keith's feelings! She knew that he had held her and she did not want anything to do with him! Keith vowed right there and then that if we ever had another girl that we would not get her ear's pierced and I agreed!!! Later that night though she finally went to Keith. :) She has this new thing were she hates to be laid down unless its nap or bedtime! (She is bad SPOILED!) I guess that's what I get for holding her all the time, but I don't care! I could hold her all day!!! Saturday Keith watched Brookelyn-Grace and I went to a jewelry show! I got some really nice pearl earrings and pearl bracelet! I can't wait for them to come in! Then Meme and I went to K-Mart to look at trees. I think Keith and I are going to buy a new tree. We already have a pre-lit tree with white light's, but we think Brookelyn-Grace will like the color lights more. Anyway we got her stocking there too. It is a puppy dog that sings. It has bells on it ears and the ears move. It is adorable! Were taking it to Mary this week to get it monogrammed! Sunday me, Keith and Brookelyn-Grace slept in. Keith put together Christmas stuff and me and Brookelyn-Grace battled her teething! Keith ended up going hunting and me and Brookelyn-Grace watched Christmas movies all day. :) When Keith got home he took over and I got some Mommy time. Although I had mommy time it always consits of Miss Brookelyn-Grace because I made her a cute picture frame, hair bows and tried finishing a dress. I have no time for anything! All in all my weekend was crazy! Maybe this week will be better! I hope her teeth quite hurting! I feel so bad for her!

FOLLOW UP ON THE WEEKEND!

So the weekend went great! Friday Keith and I went to the mall to look at Christmas ideas/presents for Brookelyn-Grace and to eat. Then we came home and had family night, which consists of a Disney movie and playing with Brookelyn-Grace. We also started baby food!!! We started with peas and Brookelyn-Grace made the most horrible face ever! She hated them! So of course I decide to give her some Bananas baby food, which she LOVED! (Although the doctor said start with vegetables or she would end up not wanting them..go me! lol) Anyway Keith and I loved watching her eat her baby food for the first time! We most definitely took plenty of pics! I will never forget those faces she made! :) Then Saturday we woke up got the Princess ready and headed to the CHS building (Festival of Trees). Brookelyn-Grace loved looking at the trees and of course I had to buy her three bows while I was there! Then we ran into Mary Lollar (LOVE HER) and of course I went ahead and ordered Brookelyn-Grace two outfits! (She has the cutest stuff!) Then Brookelyn-Grace got to meet Santa for the first time and get her picture made with him. She feel asleep, but woke up a couple of times to check him out. She didn't cry, but the look on her face was priceless. It was a look like, "Who are you" and "What is that on your face" ha ha...The picture was great although she was a sleep, but we went ahead and bought a package that consisted of an 8x10, 2 5x7's and 4 wallets! I cant wait to get those in! Then we went home to rest at home for a little bit where I started on my "bow making" (I LOVE MAKING THEM!) Here is an example of one I made :)

Then we headed to Olan Mills in the Mall. Okay, we had an appointment for 6:00 and of course when we got there we didn't get to get her picture made until about 7:00. Why make appointments when you're not going to get the appointment time! It made me MAD, because Brookelyn-Grace was fine at 6:00 (I scheduled it around her nap) and of course when 7:00 rolled around she was ready for her nap so she didn't do too good. She didn't cry but she wouldn't smile at all! We still got the pictures though, which will be here the day after Thanksgiving. (SHA DOES WAY BETTER) The background was beautiful, but the woman was not all that good. You could tell she was just ready to get out of there, and Sha does so good with Brookelyn-Grace! I will never go back to Olan Mills not even if I do have a gift receipt! (GO TO SHA, LITTLE LADY BUG PHOTOGRAPHY IF U WANT GREAT PICS!) Then today I woke up so sick! Brookelyn-Grace has had a mild cold and apparently she gave it to me, but it's like 10 times worse! So I have slept all day, I just got up about an hour ago. Keith has had Brookelyn-Grace all day! I feel kind of bad because he was suppose to go hunting and work on his Jeep, but there is no way I could have had her today. If she got what I had or felt like I do she would be at the hospital for sure! Well that was my busy/crazy weekend! This week is going to be horrible especially if I don't get rid of this cold!

BABY FOOD, WEEKEND & CONCERNS

Brookelyn-Grace starts baby food this Sunday. She is getting so big! She started cereal about two weeks ago but she hated it! She's only eaten it five times. Its is so funny watching her eat. I think more comes out of her mouth then going in! Keith and I are going to buy her a high chair this weekend. I know we should have already bought one...but I'm a procrastinator...(why have it when you don't need it) but anyway...I can not wait to see her eat that baby food! :) Her doctor say's to feed her vegetables first because if we feed her the sweet stuff then she want, want her vegetables. Poor baby :( It's got to be better than that milk though. (just so you know that stuff is horrible! You know I've tried it! lol I taste everything before I give it to her..even medicine..got to make sure that my baby isn't getting something bad!) Oh and were going to the Christmas thing at the CHS building Saturday! I'm so excited because Santa is going to be there and this will be Brookelyn-Grace's first picture with Santa! I love it! Then were going to the mall to have a couple of pictures made of Brookelyn-Grace. (no I'm not betraying you Sha! lol..we got a gift card from one of my showers from Olan Mills)<--Sha takes MUCH BETTER PICTURES THAN OLAN MILLS! but anyway...An issue that Keith and I are facing right now is whether or not to get Brookelyn-Grace's ears pierced before her Christmas pictures with Sha. Keith and I were already going to get her ears pierced for Christmas, but just not this early. Is there any particular age that is best to get ear's pierced? I really do not want to take her! I would rather Keith take her by himself or with Meme. I don't want to see her in pain! It kills me enough having to watch her get shots, but she does the best with me when she is in pain, sick or just doesn't feel good..I guess I'll just have to take one for the team and go......:( but seriously is 5 months to early to get a babies ear's pierced?
