Sickness runs amok

So...wow..i have been really bad at posting...
work is really keeping me busy...i have this super big project that I had to have pretty much spec'ed out before my vacation and it has been taking my focus and creativity...


Our vacation starts on Friday! We can't WAIT! We are flying to south FL - Gulf side - to stay at a resort my seester manages...
Well I can sort of wait - because
How do you pack for a 6 month old baby? Just how much money am I going to be spending in checked baggage? We couldn't drive - the Zerker HATES being in the car too long unless she falls asleep....My cousin lives down there and a friend of hers is letting us borrow a stroller. We have to check the car seat...and the rest we will just wing...Zerker is pretty good at sitting without the boppy, she can sleep in her carseat or we can set up pillows around her on the floor...or I could rent a pack n play - or I could buy one on craigslist...

Oh and there is the fact that, um, I haven't been able to eat anything but chicken broth and ice cream since Saturday. My throat feels like it got stuck in a garbage disposal, and my fever finally left....I am on antibiotics and I think it will pass - but darn I really want to be totally well for our vacation...nadie doesn't have any more vacation days left because of the week zerker was born...

Oh and the Zerker had her first ear infection and was on antibiotics

Oh and she got her first tooth.

Oh and she is eating solid foods.
All of this happening when my new job is going full force...
Um...can you say crazy life?

ouch - not gonnna say anything...

5 Months

She already looooved her feet....guess what she realized she can do now?


The Zerker is five months old today. She celebrated by sucking on her toes. And, of course, she practiced vocalizing (shrieking) as loud and high as she could. :)


She started at the daycare yesterday. She seems to like it. And, it seems to really wear her out. She comes home, needs a nap (even though she has had her daily naps - and usually has eaten), has a few pleasant hours and is ready for bed.

She is amazing...All is well....
