Abi started walking tonight - 5/1! She is 10 months & 5 days old... I forgot how exciting it is to see your little one take their 1st steps. Abi definitely is a go-getter. She was determined to stand up and walk on her own. The joys of watching your children learn & develop are amazing. I posted a couple of videos on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fuser%2Fjanaejones728&h=cb818">youtube</a> of her major milestone. Granted the videos are taken from my camera (not camcorder) so the quality is not so great. I also have a video of Elizabeth dancing to her 2nd favorite show "Go Diego, Go!"... "Dora the Explorer" being her 1st! <br /><center><span style="font-size:18pt;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">ENJOY!!</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">SHE WALKS-<br /></span><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/wq3l4TNN_PI&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/wq3l4TNN_PI&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">SHE WALKS SOME MORE-<br /></span><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fCXC_TC5BWU&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fCXC_TC5BWU&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">E DANCES<br /></span><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/liiJ2Jftbxo&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/liiJ2Jftbxo&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /></center>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6814588656241038047.post-63024645073015219932010-04-07T19:34:00.003-04:002010-04-07T19:48:42.193-04:00Easter!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac175/frugalfinds/P1090222-1.jpg?t=1270683652"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac175/frugalfinds/P1090222-1.jpg?t=1270683652" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />The Girls had a great Easter weekend in Cartersville, GA with Jeff's family.

Her upper lip is finally starting to not look so swollen. So far, we don't see any discoloring of the teeth and they still seem to be pushed in. <br /><br />We have been trying to make sure E doesn't fall on her face again during the healing process and it's made Jeff and I nervous wrecks. We went to Heritage Park today to let Elizabeth get out and play and of course she falls and ends up with grass in her mouth... Which she did not like, saying "Ewe, Ewe" trying to get it out. Her mouth was not injured :) <br /><br />Throughout this ordeal, Abi has, of course, been wonderful. She is getting so big and is literally all over the place! Abi has 2 teeth on the bottom and is getting a 3rd tooth on the top. Today at the park, we had music playing and Abi started dancing to it. <br /><br />Here are some updated pictures of Elizabeth:<br /><br />3/5 Close up of E being silly. You can really see her crooked teeth.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizpv01toAYiUO6hGvVaxwF2Is005y2jAvtzE8xOXsuWHzkoQvWw3I9SiCAXo1WSiNCmnErf-MrGU_gp2AGNTowUCryl6f9YkgYPIYpDMzxJr1_sjQxifd5W1ZZ4MLAqjd0x9sZiuVlJf0/s1600-h/Silly+3-5.JPG"><img style="display:block;

I wanted to update everyone and let you all know how Elizabeth is doing. I don't know how but she has been great through all of this. I was really expecting her to be in a lot of pain and possibly loose her appetite. She has definitely not lost her appetite and I feel like I am constantly cutting up food in bite size pieces for her all day long. We are trying not to let her bite down with her 3 hurt teeth. Elizabeth is still really swollen on her upper lip extending to her nose. Her bottom lip is already healing pretty good. Unfortunately, her teeth are still out of place...<br /><br />I want to thank all of our friends and family who have expressed their concern for Elizabeth. <br /><br />I have been taking pictures to show her progress through all of this.

Jeff was giving her a bath as usual and when they were done they drained the water and cleaned up the bath toys. Jeff had asked me to come get E out of the tub as usual. E was standing up for me to get her out and I was standing there to get her. She started messing around and in an instant she slipped and went face first into the side of the tub. Not that this makes it any better, but we have a garden tub that has a slight incline for you to rest your back against where she hit her face. I unfortunately witnessed her face planting and grabbed her immediately. Of course, she was in tears. My first thought was that she busted her nose! I was scanning her face and nose for blood... No blood on her face. I checked her mouth, which was filling up with blood. At first glance, with all the blood I couldn't exactly tell what her teeth looked like. They just didn't look right. I was pretty sure she didn't lose any of her teeth but her front tooth look jammed up in her gum. And her bottom lip was bleeding and swelling up. I held her and tried to catch any blood with a towel. Jeff went to call our dentist. While Jeff was getting the dentist on the phone I put on Elizabeth's PJ's and tried to calm her down in our bed. She held her lamb and "Minnie Daisey" juice cup, her 2 treasured items for comfort, and watched The Backyardigans. Jeff spoke with the dentist and was advised to get E to calm down for the bleeding to stop, as well as giving her Motrin for pain and an anti-inflammatory. The Dentist said do not take her to the ER because there was nothing they could do that couldn't wait for the morning. We also scheduled an appointment for 8:30am the next day. We attempted to give her Motrin, which she spit out... <br /><br />She was still partially crying so E decided to go to her room and lay in bed. She was able to calm down and eventually fall asleep. I tried to lay with her too. For the first 10 min. or so we just sat there in silence. Then E wanted me to sing her Twinkle, Twinkle, Little star... for about 10 min. or so. She still didn't go to bed. Then she got real talkative, pointing out my eyes, nose, cheeks, chin, mouth, and hair. She was asking about Dad and Abi. After awhile I told her I would be back. I figured if I was going to be in there with her that I ought to get ready for bed. So, I sent Jeff in to be with her while I got ready. He said she was just as talkative and had him sing Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star :) Jeff came out of her room after I got ready and we talked for a second about everything. When I went in to lay with her she was sound asleep. I covered her up. She slept good until about 1am and started crying a little in her sleep and sat up. I had her lay back down and I rubbed her back and she went right back to sleep. She slept solid the rest of the night, unlike Jeff and I...<br /><br />E got up around her usual time around 7:20am. Jeff and I were anxious to see how her lips and teeth looked and get her to the dentist. Her bottom lip had dried blood on it and with the swelling of her mouth and lips, she kind of looked like a "Who" character from Dr. Suess. We gave E yogurt for breakfast which she ate with no problem and did not seem to be in any pain. We had not given her any more Motrin other than what she spit out the night before. We couldn't believe she was in great spirits and seemed like nothing happened. <br /><br />After yogurt, we took E to the dentist where, I had to hold her down for a quick x-ray. Surprisingly, quick and she barely had a chance to fight, and she got a cool sticker that got her excited. Our pediatric Dentist, Dr. Ann Bynum was awesome, as well as April at her office. They were very clear on everything with E's mouth. Jeff held E down so Dr. Bynum could examine her mouth. She checked to see if anything was broken, like her jaw and to see if the gum needed stitches, both were negative. Another concern, was if the roots were broken from the impact and if so, they would have to pull the tooth/teeth. Thankfully, the x-ray showed no breakage in the roots... However, Elizabeth did push-in/bent back 3 of her front teeth. You can tell her teeth are messed up. There is a high chance at least one of the 3 teeth will become discolored from the blood. Possibly, in time her teeth may shift forward with her tongue and speaking but not to where they started. We feel awful for what happened but also blessed because it could have been much much worse...<br /><br />For those curious ones, below are a few pictures of Elizabeth and her mouth. <br /><br />The morning after:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiuSlRgHz2IthivtHOi_yunnMeUueBWTZDV_iWRTkT6j7vrmbmhBfG3bYqvvw61dA8CAR34WRYNoz5TNbTaB6VCJ-tR8vpFnMgHAIOzjkTSaDTezcHCASY7lrcgZdNfsWoFmSgaMyiZ60/s1600-h/Morning+after.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 230px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiuSlRgHz2IthivtHOi_yunnMeUueBWTZDV_iWRTkT6j7vrmbmhBfG3bYqvvw61dA8CAR34WRYNoz5TNbTaB6VCJ-tR8vpFnMgHAIOzjkTSaDTezcHCASY7lrcgZdNfsWoFmSgaMyiZ60/s320/Morning+after.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444544269585933058" /></a><br /><br />On the way to the Dentist:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiConjp0HnJQfRTFzqRkpIe1rImBzwh6_Me1LALUGehKpPSWY8wH-M2Q4Q0tCq1BazJ-W7IxPwb2vWw5K3aGsqUzZ_RgPKOVaLj7n3EgPtCWQzbU-QKVpxmnyafueBrbcvHbxX82A7eJ6Q/s1600-h/Way+to+Dentist.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiConjp0HnJQfRTFzqRkpIe1rImBzwh6_Me1LALUGehKpPSWY8wH-M2Q4Q0tCq1BazJ-W7IxPwb2vWw5K3aGsqUzZ_RgPKOVaLj7n3EgPtCWQzbU-QKVpxmnyafueBrbcvHbxX82A7eJ6Q/s320/Way+to+Dentist.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444544617117482962" /></a><br /><br />Close-up of her mouth at the Dentist:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbIxJbvJ6QTdQ4OBifcmWyYP-B1Zfh9ji4wM5yNJPzr3GX4FY5WcufXmr2ixsahJN5Lt6HZuLcNEbZby3Qgr7QVpo-nxIgWIoe3CFa3j7Cd9Jojj0FWQJXiShD62CNwyMQ85ytBciYPVo/s1600-h/Close+up+mouth.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 202px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbIxJbvJ6QTdQ4OBifcmWyYP-B1Zfh9ji4wM5yNJPzr3GX4FY5WcufXmr2ixsahJN5Lt6HZuLcNEbZby3Qgr7QVpo-nxIgWIoe3CFa3j7Cd9Jojj0FWQJXiShD62CNwyMQ85ytBciYPVo/s320/Close+up+mouth.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444544739735021106" /></a><br /><br />After the Dentist:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGxhZmgjgdlEQoeX8EXdKKPHqyEIpcjVDMg_PobHNNiENXP_jMlqu3v-TX_j_C-jCp_cd_-qJiXjxV-DMcdSuPemGUhYiUR4EGmABY1hcu1fk8FETktpgr7joa_iS-pEVs6ko05nPzDRw/s1600-h/After+Dentist.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGxhZmgjgdlEQoeX8EXdKKPHqyEIpcjVDMg_PobHNNiENXP_jMlqu3v-TX_j_C-jCp_cd_-qJiXjxV-DMcdSuPemGUhYiUR4EGmABY1hcu1fk8FETktpgr7joa_iS-pEVs6ko05nPzDRw/s320/After+Dentist.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444544840243147986" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6814588656241038047.post-36069466098027985002009-10-10T14:22:00.012-04:002009-10-10T14:42:16.240-04:00MIAI officially cannot keep up with the blogging world. FYI- Abi was born the next day after my last post 6/26/09 at 6:25am... I have been really busy with the girls (E & ABI). My sister's family stayed with us the whole month of September. We got new floors put in, thanks to my bro-in-law. Last weekend we went to Viva Las Vegas! Of course, we didn't win big, but had a blast. Abi rolled over back to tummy Thursday and rolled tummy to back today.

I'll only wait until July 1st, which is my induction date! We have to be at the hospital at 6am... We'll be leaving ELizabeth with Jeff's parents, who will drive over the night before. I would have to say that scheduling the induction has made me so nervous. It being planned makes it so different for me. Since, I am 3cm dilated and 80% effaced, I might not make my induction date, but we'll see. We are almost in "get-ready for baby" mode...<br /><br />In the meantime, we are still having a lot of fun with Elizabeth. I could have sworn she had a red bull for breakfast. She was running all over the place. Chasing me & Jeff around the house laughing and trying to tickle us! She did go down for her morning nap earlier than usual! <br /><br />Yesterday, Elizabeth decided to climb into the infant car seat before we loaded it in the car. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitgG2cwRqh2yVK0E9t3AhVo6j3tka5L1Ff_WUeP3SdqQBOepjim8wpRqNhq1Jo7vUWTa5z-g76oaoTLeziXa4dlNavACINysyBryKbiBAE8FVDZmHytIoRTslyTIqsRMpra1C8nSepTEQ/s1600-h/P1040821.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitgG2cwRqh2yVK0E9t3AhVo6j3tka5L1Ff_WUeP3SdqQBOepjim8wpRqNhq1Jo7vUWTa5z-g76oaoTLeziXa4dlNavACINysyBryKbiBAE8FVDZmHytIoRTslyTIqsRMpra1C8nSepTEQ/s320/P1040821.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351391236490447938" /></a><br /><br />She also felt like rearranging my condiments and such from the fridge!

Dilated to 3cm and 50% effaced.... Baby #2 is getting closer to being here and of course I'm not ready. Jeff has been so great throughout this whole pregnancy and has really been carrying the load of Elizabeth! To name one thing: he gives her a bath each night, no longer with my help. <br /><br />Elizabeth has been so much fun lately too! Elizabeth loves playing with all her friends! She's walking every where and she's become a chatter box... When we went on vacation every time she say Jeff's dad she would smile and say "Pappa!" Her new word is "Uh, Oh" and more recently she's started saying "tickle, tickle, tickle" really fast, because when we tickle her that's what we say. It actually sounds like "ticka, ticka, ticka".<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3V5WhcrTOJ66mMz-Y6koTk8ImwI6dAwq5pkMFa86jGIfRqsf4tRdotIw2gefhaG4NEfkaaj9Ph3PpXk96ZBPJ2wPw4FApQ7N5tDV1hZ6senkHcCr-tJCLYgt5BDGd7Ij5N8YzAODWpV8/s1600-h/P1040375.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3V5WhcrTOJ66mMz-Y6koTk8ImwI6dAwq5pkMFa86jGIfRqsf4tRdotIw2gefhaG4NEfkaaj9Ph3PpXk96ZBPJ2wPw4FApQ7N5tDV1hZ6senkHcCr-tJCLYgt5BDGd7Ij5N8YzAODWpV8/s320/P1040375.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348084008571730690" border="0"></a><br />Father's day is this Sunday and I cannot wait to give Jeff his gifts. He is such a great dad and I love seeing him play with Elizabeth! She is becoming daddy's little girl more and more each day. When Jeff got home tonight from work, I was holding her and apparently she wanted daddy. He walked away to put his work stuff in the office and she started crying for him... and kept crying until Jeff could hold her.

I'm having the stereotypical pregnancy symptoms.... hormones are wild, gas. Those are always so good to have :) j/k. <br /><br />Last fall, Jeff got a change in his job position to a Buying Group Territory Manager and now travels the entire state of SC and to Charlotte & Asheville, NC.

She started crawling & pulling up 2 days before she turned 9 months. You can see this in the youtube videos I have posted! We couldn't ask for a happier baby. She's always in a good mood, unless she is hungry or tired! We're starting to realize that Elizabeth has no fear... I even try to scare her or jump out at her and she laughs and gets excited... Speaking of fear, I found out last Friday that Elizabeth thinks dogs are hilarious. She was around my friends dog for the first time and Elizabeth thought it was the greatest! We have been dealing with some kind of respiratory issue with her. We give her an inhaler as needed. She's not diagnosed with baby asthma but that's what it might be...

Jeff & I would have to say that when Elizabeth turned 4-months old it was a real turning point for all of us. She finally could entertain herself more and started crying less. We have definitely been blessed with a vocal child....like her mom I guess! Elizabeth will be 5 months old this Sunday! She has been rolling over for about a month now and is growing up so fast. We have not started her on any solid foods yet. We want to wait until she is closer to 6-months old. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8L3QFgsSYlOLWPPejM5XBiBR7Jbj05Lap0oPEh6NFTbOx6dGCQIBmF1tUKtEflltTnm_Neu4iY32mK2hFBG1poFzP7LhREwKpcKfhzRYzJlSDgdOI_ZtzIW2ahK2Ot15iqEuiO5h5WRk/s1600-h/P1010413.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8L3QFgsSYlOLWPPejM5XBiBR7Jbj05Lap0oPEh6NFTbOx6dGCQIBmF1tUKtEflltTnm_Neu4iY32mK2hFBG1poFzP7LhREwKpcKfhzRYzJlSDgdOI_ZtzIW2ahK2Ot15iqEuiO5h5WRk/s320/P1010413.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254121193938642210" /></a>I have been busy keeping up with Elizabeth and trying to sell some of our things on eBay! I need to make some money to support my shopping addiction- buying Elizabeth baby clothes!! <br /><br />Jeff has had a job change for about a month now, which requires more travel on his part. He is still a Sales Rep for Shaw, it's just a more specific account base. Hopefully, it will be better for us in the long run.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6814588656241038047.post-59361728875651248352008-03-15T18:43:00.001-04:002009-06-23T15:55:59.155-04:00My Pregnancy!<div><embed src="http://widget-dc.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=bb&il=1&channel=2161727821144489436&site=widget-dc.slide.com" style="width:400px;height:320px" name="flashticker" align="middle"></embed><div style="width:400px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=2161727821144489436&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-dc.slide.com/p1/2161727821144489436/bb_t024_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=2161727821144489436&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-dc.slide.com/p2/2161727821144489436/bb_t024_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=2161727821144489436&map=F" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-dc.slide.com/p4/2161727821144489436/bb_t024_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide42.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6814588656241038047.post-3704582944206635712007-11-12T10:15:00.000-05:002007-11-12T10:59:53.528-05:00We're Expecting!Jeff & I are expecting a new edition to our family in May of 2008.
