Demma!!!

Betsy's obsession with Shrek/Demma is at an all time high because Uncle Peter and Aunt Katie brought her a Shrek doll last night. She kept hugging him and saying "Demma. Demma? Demma!!!" Every time she saw him all night she would act like it was the first time she saw him. I have been looking for a Shrek doll, but I haven't been able to find one. B is so happy!

Sorry I haven't written much--I have been fighting a horrible cold and it's been really rough since I can't take Nyquil and Dayquil! Today is the first time we have left the house since last Friday. I'm feeling better today so hopefully I'll wake up tomorrow and this cold will be gone. I'm so happy that B and P haven't gotten sick.

Last Thursday we went to playgroup at Sarah's house. On Friday we met Evelyn and Georgia at the Parenting Center. B played really hard and took a big nap in the afternoon. The weather started turning nasty and my cold appeared on Friday night. On Saturday Peter worked downstairs and B and I hung out and watched movies and played. B took a 2 hour nap and Attie and Marme took B for a while in the afternoon. Katie and Peter stopped by and brought us Ratatouille to borrow. On Sunday Grandpa came in town to help P downstairs. Larry and Carroll stopped by with some gumbo (gummo as B calls it) and B loved it and when we played in her kitchen every time I'd ask her what she was cooking she'd say "gummo." I gave B her own piece of corn on the cob and she did well with it--we eventually had to take it away so she could have a bath, but she probably would've chomped on it for a while longer.

Yesterday I woke up at 330 am and couldn't go back to sleep. B was a trooper all day and we played, read books, and watched Ratatouille.

Today I had my 6 month checkup and everything is great. I had my blood glucose test--I hope I pass! B and I did some errands, because I was having major cabin fever! Marme has B so I decided to update the blog!

Betsy wants to read books together all the time now. She'll stare at her bookshelf and say "book, book" and then I'll hand her some books and she'll sit in my lap. When I finish a book she says "more, book." She also has started saying "downa," which means she wants to go downstairs and play.
