Ooops

I regret the last two blogs. They were whiney and blah. And I feel guilty too. Naomi did infact have an ear infection. (again.) Now here we are nearly a full course of antibiotics later and she's doing super, really super. She's the funniest little squirt I've ever seen. And just because I'm here mama I can say that she's really smart too. But I'm not just saying it, she is! She finds "cat/kitty", "duck" "moon" and "Piggie" pictures in books or on blocks when asked. She points to them! She's a genius.
Right now she's talking to herself about the tape, the cards, the paper, the blocks and Mo and Monkey. She's the best. She will go and get Mo (the Moose) Monkey and DuckDuck if I ask her too. She does the monkey sound too, it's awesome! Kind of an ahha ahhaa ahh ha. She says "Daah" for duck and "Duh" for dog and "Da" for daddy. cute huh. There IS a difference. kindof. So like I was saying, she's brilliant, adorable and funny!
Today we played with yogurt on the floor and made a BIG mess. Naomi loved it after I showed her what to do, and even tasted it. Then we high-tailed it to the bathroom for a mid-day bath.
Ok, that's all for now, Nominomi needs mama

In the doldrums

Naomi is sick. S.I.C.K. She is currently coughing up a lung in her crib. It's really not fun at all. I have been considering calling her doctor tomorrow but upon further investigation, it seems that the doc will most likely pat me on the head and say "it's viral" with instructions to "get her plenty of rest and fluids." Well I would LIKE to get her plenty of rest if she could sleep! She wakes up coughing about every 10-20 minutes during naps and sometimes longer stretches at night. Daytime naps are about as long as she can go without coughing. It's been miserable to say the least. She is so sad and sick and the coughing hurts her sometimes. She has a hard time breathing while coughing. Ya know. On second thought I think I may call her doctor.....
Ok, so I feel bad for me right now. But I feel worse for Naomi.
On to happier thoughts, she does seem to get Ok sleep at night so far, so I do to.
Like I said, happier thoughts!- I gave a talk today in church about Joseph Smith. The happy thoughts there are that I am done, It's all been said and that I didn't hyperventilate from nervousness:) Yeah for me!
Here's the happiest thought of all, Zach made the Dean's List last semester!!!! He is also ranked 2 in his class. Since this is a almost totally private blog (except for some choice family members!) I figure it's Ok to post that top-secret info here.
Ok. well. another week gone by and still haven't managed to install either of our new printers to this computer. And then Gateway has the nerve to ask if it's a problem with the software Cd's Um, NO. It would be this flea-bitten bag of crap we call our computer. I'll be calling Gateway tomorrow (again) as well as Naomi's doctor.
Until later!

January... blahs

Naomi is in her crib crying. whining. talking. moaning. She was put down for a nap at 11:20, fell asleep by 11:32 and woke up coughing 10 minutes later and then again 8 minutes later. She then decided she was done napping. I don't think so. 20 minutes of nap time just does not cut it. I let her be for a few minutes and then went in, retrieved her stuffed animals and laid her down and told her it was time to go to sleep. She dosen't think so. So who wins in a battle like this? Usually Naomi. She has a bit of a cold, only when she's lying down though. No cough, no runny nose during wake times but the second she's on her back she's coughing, coughing, coughing. It's frustrating when she can't sleep. She's tired and is no fun when she's up and not refreshed.
Ok. well this post is depressing. I'll have to write agian soon to make up for it!
