Snow Day!

Happy 7th Month birthday to Harper!  To celebrate, her daycare decided to close today due to snow, so we got an extra "us" day.  She has been in such fun spirits lately, I love it.  She is also crawling like a madwoman, and pulling herself up on anything that will (or in most cases won't) stay still.  She's also started growling at us; I think she does that more than her normal noises, and it freaks me out.  I think she's maybe possessed, so all those jokes about her stealing souls aren't quite as funny now...

7 months...seriously, where does the time go?!  In 5 short months my baby will be a year old.  In three short months my brother in law will get married to an awesome gal, and in a little under two months I'll embark on my first trip to Vegas, Baby! for a bachelorette. 2011 is going to be busy!   I have to stop using time off for closed daycares though.

Harper was sick most of the Christmas holiday weekend; I think it was a combination of too many people and being in a strange place, with a side of teething.  It lasted about two weeks, and is now her happy go lucky self, minus any teeth.  She just "graduated" into the Firefly room at daycare, which means she has more room to move, gets to play in a ball pit, eat solids, and have a little more structure.  So far she seems to enjoy it, especially the ball pit.  Alas, our dog would eat all the balls, so that is one luxury she'll have to keep at daycare...or grandma's :)

Speaking of Abbey, she has gotten so naughty.  She is stealing toys from the crib bars (as we had to lower the crib as low as it can go since Harper could climb out with ease), she humps her every chance she gets, and is relentless about licking her face.  I've looked online for ideas, but not finding many solutions, and getting rid of her isn't an option.  Any ideas?  She also has a barking problem, that was remedied for a while, but is back in full force. Good times!

Here are some pictures to enjoy. I'll try and get some videos loaded of her crawling and growling...our kid is talented, what can I say?

Good Bye First Trimester!

I can't believe that I will be 12 weeks prego next week, it has gone by so fast. It's hellped that I haven't have any sickness, which I am very grateful for. I've kind of have the opposite; I am hungry but nothing sounds appetizing, so as a result I've lost weight. I got a nice little lecture from my dr last week, so I've been trying to eat more, and I think after this weekend, I have to have put on at least 10 pounds! Friday night we had Applebees where we polished off mozzarella sticks, I had a steak and potatoes and veggies, all so tasty! Then today we had Hu Hot for lunch, and just had McDonalds for dinner. I didn't say it was healthy, but it was definitely fattening! I seem to be getting my energy back, there for a while all I wanted to do was sleep. I could still sleep all day, but today I noticed I wanted to do some chores, so I guess that's an improvement. I've also had some lower back pain, which seems to be worse when I sit, which ...

Groundhog's Day

So, welcome to 2013!  January was full of busy-ness in the Kant home, what with potty training in full effect, work being super busy and, well, I'm just really tired.  Plus we moved out office into the basement and let's face it, out of sight, out of mind.  And despite the ipad and iphone within arm's reach, I can't figure out how to post from the damned things, so there you have it.  Like I said, January went by in a blur, but luckily the groundog (and more importantly, my mom, whose birthday is also today) didn't see their shadows, so yay! 6 weeks until Spring.  Harper has begun potty training (well, has been in panties full time since late December) and is doing great with the potty piece of it.  The pooping? Not so much, and what sucks is that she really couldn't care less when she drops one in her panties...this mom, however, could do without shaking poop out of panties multiple times a week. Our only saving grace is that she goes to the same place ...

What the heck's a woombie?

So, today's post is dedicated to the freaky baby items I've found online (we are not expecting, but are expecting to be expecting sometime this year, so I wanted to check out the market on baby stuff). I'm not saying this stuff isn't useful, it may very well be the best item there is, but I think they're weird. And so, in no particular order... * Nosefrida Nasal Aspirator: it's a doctor invented and doctor recommended snot sucker. An electric snot sucker. With built in filters. My question is, who is changing said filters? Not me, thank you. Then again, with the manual ones I bet you have to empty them somehow. Eww. Also, this doesn't actually go into their nose, it sucks it all out from the base of the nostril--that sounds like fun. Oh, and did I mention the suction is coming from your mouth? * Zaky --the tag line? It's like leaving a part of you with your baby. Yeah, if you have big creepy muppet hands maybe. I think the picture says enough about t...
