Arden is 2 months old!

Wow 2 months?! Where is the time going? I don't have any new stats. Her doctor's appointment is Friday. She will get her first round of vacinations, too. She still has that awful thrush. I had to call the doc today and get them to send the pharmacy another refill for the medicine. I am still boiling pacifiers and bottles once a day too. I will be so glad when this stuff clears up! She has also started drooling more, and I think I can see the first white spot on her gums! I am not ready for her to start teething so early! Let's figure out sleeping through the night first! I thought Stratton was an early teether at 4 months! She can hold her head up really well, now and Jarrod taught her how to nod. . . Really funny. She is just growing so fast!

I went back to work yesterday. It really wasn't as bad as I anticipated. I was so busy at work that the day really did go by fast. I dropped Arden off at daycare since we had so much stuff to take, I thought it would be easier to take the kids seperately. Plus, I wanted to have a chat with her teacher and the director. It wasn't too hard leaving her, she was asleep in her carseat carrier. I did think about her a lot during the day and couldn't wait to see how her day went! They said she was great. She didn't cry or even fuss very much at all. She only took 3 short naps totaling about 2 1/2 hours! I guess there was too much going on for her to be napping! Her teachers are all really sweet so for the moment I am feeling much more comfortable with her being at daycare.

I know one thing I learned. . . Picking up 2 kids sure does take longer! They are in different buildings, so by the time you get all their stuff together and visit with the teacher about their day and walk to the othr building. . . it took me about 20 minutes! I guess we will get more efficient with time. I picked Stratton up first yesterday, but today I'm going to try picking Arden up first and see if that goes faster!

We had a good night. She actually slept all night for the third time in four days! I hope we are finally getting her sleep on track! I put her down a little after 10 pm and she woke up right at 5am. That's early, but when it takes her on average about an hour to eat, it really kinda works ok. Then I have plenty time to get her ready for school and help Jarrod with Stratton before they leave. He took them both this morning.


Our two hams!


Stratton fell out of/off of a window at school Friday. Now, that's his story. . . Who knows what really happened. . .anyway he took a good lick and his head was pretty bruised and he did have a very small "booboo" that was bleeding for a bit Friday afternoon. But even though it was nothing more than a tiny scab he had to wear a bandaid all weekend! We tried to convince him it was better last night but no, he still needs a bandaid on it. I am pretty sure he has some molars coming in, he is constantly chewing on his fingers! Ewww. I know where his little hands go. . . All over every germy surface he comes in contact with! I'm sure he'll be sick with something now.
