Terrible twos

Aelita has hit the terrible twos already. She's constintly trowing temper tantrums everytime i tell her no or she doesn't get what she wants. She really likes to be outside however it's getting to cold for us to take her out as often as we used to. She's still going to story time and is actually starting to sit still long enough for them to read the story and sing the songs. She really loves going. This friday she starts music makers which is a little kids group that a bunch of people from church started. She's such a busy girl, but she loves being with all the other kids.

Baby Contest

Tonight was the calvert county fair baby contest. Aelita was the first one to go on the stage and looked really cute. There were 4 other babies in her age group ranging from 15-18 months old. Aelita won 2nd place and got a ribbon and $4.00. It was a lot of fun and she was full of energy like always.

15 month check-up

Yesterday was Aelita's 15 month Check-up she's now down to 20lbs from the 23 that she was when we moved out here because of her not eating. The doctor said to just give her milk and anything that she will eat other than the junk food that she seems to find a way to get a hold of. Other than losing weight and not eating the doctor said that she's looking good.

Not Eating

Aelita hasn't really been eating anything lately the only thing i can really get her to eat is cheese, crackers and McDonald's chicken nuggets and french fries. Tomorrow she has her 15 month check up so maybe I'll talk to her doctor and see what we need to do to get her to start eating again.

Teething

I can't wait until Ali is done teething. It seems like every other week or so she's running a fever and fussy. She's had a fever all weekend that is finally gone. Hopefully her bottom molar comes in the rest of the way. I just hope that she doesn't get anymore fevers anytime soon.

My Little Princess

Aelita is Getting so big way too fast. I remember when i could just hold her all day, and now all she wants to do is run around and get into everything. She loves her dora backpack and goes every where with it. She also likes to play with my old typewritter. Next wednesday she has her 15 month check-up and shots.

Doctor's Appt

Today we took Ali to the doctors to find out what the rash was that was all over her and why she wasn't eating. It turns out that the rash was caused by a virus and was also affecting her appetite. She is starting to eat more again so hopefully she gets over this virus soon.

Mommy's girl

Aelita is such a mommas girl right now. She still has a rash around her pull-up waist band and now she's got some little bumps on her arms and legs. She has a doctors appointment tomorrow after her circle time at the library so hopefully they know what's going on with her. Today was also her Wic Appt. They weighed her and she is now 22lbs and 30 inches tall. Today we also had to break out her winter jackets, we're still not used to the 60degree weather quite yet but it's only going to get colder so we'll deal with it.

here's a pic of Ali with her halloween bucket that we got out a little bit early but she really likes carring it around so we let her have it.

Ali

Aelita has been acting pretty wierd lately. she really didnt' eat dinner tonight at all but she's been really thirsty. She has a rash right where the waist band of her pull-ups are too. Tomorrow i'm going to call the doctor and see if i can schedule an appointment for her to see what's going on. I hoping its just the change in the tempature out here and nothing too serious.

Aelita's new Friend

Aelita has a new friend named Matthew. They played all day today during church and she actually shared her cheerios with him. He shared his fruit snacks with her too. They are so cute together. They're only about 2 weeks apart in age and are about the same size. It's just fun to watch them chase each other around everywhere they go.

Bed time

Bed time lately has become such a fight with Aelita. Lately she's been screaming for 1/2 hour before she finally goes to sleep. At around 3am she'll wake back up and climb into bed with mommy, luckily she falls right back to sleep even though she ends up laying sideways and making no room for mommy until i get up and move her back into her bed. I can't wait until we move into our own house so i can but her back into her own room and she can have a playroom.

Climbing

Aelita now knows how to climb up the stairs. This morning i went to check on her after her nap to see if she was still sleeping and she had some how pushed open the bedroom door and climbed up to the top of the stairs and was sitting there when i opened the door to come down. Needless to say we now have the baby gate at the bottom of the stairs at all times. On the 27th of this month Aelita will be in the baby contest at the county fair. I just need to figure out what she's going to wear that night.

Busy day

Today was such a busy day. We went to the social services office to get on food stamps to help out with food for Ali, the wic office, and the health department to get me a copy of my birth certificate. Aelita spent the day with grandma and had a lot of fun until the turned on the ambulance sirens which scared her according to my mom anyway. Aelita really loves spending time with Grandma and grandma loves being able to see her whenever she wants now. Tomorrow i have to go to the unemployment office and apply for unemployment. Aelita is also enrolled at the local library's storytime which starts tomorrow as well so tomorrow is going to be as hectic as today was hopefully we can take care of everything that i need to take care of so that i can start looking for a job so i can stop depending on everyone else to take care of Aelita and so i can get a place of my own.

Aelita's 1year photos

I know i'm a little late but Here are Aelita's 1st birthday photos!

Cranky Girl

Aelita was so cranky today..like every other sunday. Her nap times are usally at 10am and 2pm and of course church falls right on both nap times. This afternoon she was really cranky and clingy when i put her down to play after church she threw a temper tantrum and bust her lip on the computer table. I really need to find a way to get her to sleep during church but i don't know if that will happen.

Potty Training

We've started trying to potty train Ali again since we've moved out here to maryland it was going well for the first couple of days and now she just waits until we put her pull-up back on then she goes.I'm also trying to get her off the night time bottle but it isn't going all that well either but it will happen sooner or later. anyway here's a pic of ali on her new potty and playing with the puppy

Back In Maryland

Aelita and i are finally back in maryland. I feels so good to be back with family and friends. Aelita is adjusting really well to being moved across te country and is being really spoiled by all her grandparents out here. I really miss being in the airforce and working in the dental clinic at nellis but i'll get over it eventually.
