Sick days... and a helpful kitty.

So, it finally got to me. The whole house, except for Laurie, has gotten this cold and I managed to escape it- til  yesterday. Now, I am feeling pretty miserable, and Lexi is full on teething. I think we'll stay inside til we can both be more pleasant again. Haha

Well, yesterday, I realized Lexi was full-on teething when i was changing her diaper and saw the little pearly whites trying to push their way in. They are thisclose to coming in- and Lexi is letting me know. Poor thing must REALLY be miserable! Yesterday, I totally messed up and I feel like such a terrible mommy. I had taken medicine that made me drowsy and I was getting Lexi down for her nap- giving her tylenol and orajel- and I definitely gave her the tylenol twice!!! I was freaking out! Gave my baby girl the dosage for a two year old, probably!! NEVER ever doing that again! I'll take my meds AFTER I put her down for her nap from now on. :(

Thank GOD she is totally fine though. As long as I keep on the 4 hour schedule of orajel and tylenol, she's a happy little monkey! :) I'm so happy she is so happy though cuz I could NOT deal with a grump while I'm sick!

These were taken a couple days ago (her changing pad covers were in the wash.)

Our little Klepto kitty decided she wanted to help...

Til she got a whiff of what Lex was packin' then she was OUT of there-- FAST! haha

Our little kitty is so desperate for any amount of attention she can get that she even jumped on the changing table with Lexi while I was changing her diaper. It was hilarious. Thank goodness the camera was close, so I got a couple pics before she got a whiff of the diapie and took off. I thought it was too funny NOT to share. :)

She is a full on crawler now.. and every so often, she does a push up. She can't REALLY be trying to stand up already, could she?! She just started crawling a WEEK ago!!

Such a happy monkey!

There is nothing I love more than her morning snuggles. :)

Holy cow- just going through pictures and saw this- what is up with that monster tongue!? Didn't get that from me!! I can barely stick my tongue out! lol

Yesterday, she decided to try out her teethers. This didn't last long- she's not a fan.

This seems upside down, but I laughed so hard. I grabbed the camera to do this post and she saw it and started fussing when I put it down. I turned it on and snapped a few quick shots and she was being such a ham!! She loves having her picture taken. Lucky me, cuz I love taking her pictures! (the random sock in this picture is one of Klepto's "presents" she brought it in this morning- no clue where she found it... we've been missing this sock for a while now!)

Well, I'm thinking about going to the lake this weekend. It'll be good to get away for the weekend, but it's still way too cold to do anything and it's supposed to be stormy, so we'll see. :)

Happy hump day!
