What I've Been Doing...by Danica Myers

I've been doing pretty good lately. I see the chiropractor once a week so that I can get a baby massage and adjustments. Sometimes I feel so good after I leave that we have an immediate diaper change! I'm still eating every three hours, Mommy and Daddy wish I would spread it out a bit more, but I'm a growing girl, they'll have to wait.

I seem to get more mail than anyone else in the house which is very exciting. I like getting cute clothes and cards from family and friends. Thanks everyone!

Mommy and Daddy have noticed my smiles and cooing which have gotten very impressive lately. I now have what they call "social smiles" and coo a lot. From what I figure, I should be talking in full sentences by next week or so. :)

Since my last post, Grandma and Grandpa Ide came to see me again, which was very nice. Grandpa went out snowmobiling with Daddy and the girls stayed home. On Friday night we went to Ryder for supper and bingo. I started having some tummy troubles at bingo, so Mommy and Grandma brought me home. Mommy and Daddy's 1 year Anniversary was on March 15th, so I let Grandma and Grandpa Ide watch me so that they could celebrate on the 14th by going to Michael's Restaurant in Minot. Apparently they went there for their rehearsal dinner the night before their wedding, so they were there exactly one year later. They had a nice night together.

I'm going to have more visitors very soon for my baptism. I've heard through the grapevine that Great Grandma Fogarty, Great Aunt Kari Fogarty, Grandma and Grandpa Ide and Great Aunt Phyllis Ide are coming, as well as my sponsors Carissa Klabunde and her family and Uncle Joel, who might even bring Heather! I'm so excited!

Just yesterday, Grandpa Myers helped Daddy install the inside trim on my bedroom windows, so now I just have to help Mommy pick outside trim and they will soon be finished and ready for my Pooh curtains.

Since there's been a lot of talk of me not sleeping very well, I would like to point out that I slept for six hours in a row last night! :) Mommy and Daddy were very proud.

Now for the pictures...

The Nechiporenko Family came to see me on March 8th...Cole is holding me as I yawn!

Now it's Keira's turn...

This is me sleeping on my Mommy and looking so peaceful

Looks like someone forgot to buckle me in my papasan!

I'm getting ready to go and looking cute in my Pooh suit

A grin for the camera!

I'm really liking baths these days and love my changing table where I get to kick around

Monkey Butt! :)

I've grown a lot, but am still quite small compared to Mommy (and Daddy)

This is the newest outfit Daddy has picked out for me. It says "Just Hatched".

Getting ready for St.Patrick's Day. "Grandma Bait", it's so true.

Here I am, all ready!

Chiropractor (3/2/09)

Danica went to see the chiropractor in Minot to get "adjusted". I had no idea what to expect when we brought her there, but was pleasantly surprised. There wasn't any loud popping noises or nothing, just very gentle massage adjustments. She got so relaxed that she pooped her pants LOUDLY! :) It was funny. We brought her there in hopes that it would help with her sleep and spitting up issues, so we'll see how it goes. She has another appointment scheduled for the morning of the 4th.

Excursion (2/28 - 3/1/09)

Last weekend Jeff, Danica and I drove to Pierre, SD to test drive a 2005 Ford Excursion Limited to accomodate our growing family. After taking some day trips and weekend getaways in our truck and car, we quickly realized we would need more room for the carseat, pack n play, and suitcases. The drive went well, Danica slept almost the whole time except to eat and diaper changes. The test drive also went well, and we ended up purchasing the Excursion and trading Jeff's truck. The vehicle is very nice and spacious, there are even 5 DVD screens inside to keep little ones and maybe us entertained! :) I've quickly learned that the bench seat in the back makes an excellent baby changing table.
