Keeping up with Cora

What a day!!

I knew M had fever last night but associated it with all the drooling and assumed she was getting a new tooth. This morning, she was so congested and wheezy, so I knew we needed to get her seen!

M was running 102 temp when we got back to the nurse, she got Motrin and a breathing treatment before her fever went up to 103 :( after a chest Xray and ANOTHER breathing treatment, she started feeling much better. We usually do her breathing treatments every 4 hours so I got a little nervous when they wanted to do two in 30 minutes.

She grabbed the finger nail clippers that I had in the living room, then grabbed my hand and acted like she was cutting my nails. Such a girl!

I took Mackenzie to my parents house after our Sunday nap!

Mom and I took her to the neighbors for just a little bit to play with Mary Grace and the twins, Lily and Lucy. I can't believe that M is as tall as the twins. They turned 2 in September and M is 19 months.

I am so obsessed with this and cannot wait until I fill this baby out!

Hope everyone has a great week!!!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Veteran's Day!!

This was my very first Veteran's Day to be off work. I have been in health care for the last 3 years and it obviously never stops for a holiday, but since the banks and the courthouses were closed yesterday, we got the day off too!!

Mom and I shopped a little bit yesterday and ate at Olive Garden! I had to take a picture of my screen since it was 11/11/11 at 11:11. We ran in to Mrs. Kay and Mrs. Carrie while we were at Warren's... I was so excited to see them and learn that they read this pitiful blog!!! {Hi Girls!}

Side story: Yesterday, Mrs. Sherry told me that she got mad at Carsyn and Mackenzie for squirting each other with their bottles {two months ago} and she took them away. I have been having the hardest time breaking M from her bottle so I am glad to know that Sherry has her drinking it out of a sippy cup now. She said she was so flustered that day that she completely forgot to tell me. So we also bought the exact Sippy cup that Sherry uses. Hopefully this works!

I went to Melissa's after we got back and the girls were playing a dance game on the Wii. It was so funny watching all of the girls dance... It had to be even funnier when Melissa and I gave it a shot!

After getting home super late from the ball game, and having to

change time, it has made for a pretty rough start of our week!

Ok, and so am I.

It has been some hard work on my part to entertain this girl until its nap/bed time. Thankfully, she has been so tired by the time she goes to bed (at 7:00!) that she has slept 11 straight hours both nights this week!

I am not sure if this is just a phase, but M has been throwing some awful fits :(

Like hitting any thing in sight {including me!} and screaming crying if she doesn't get her way. I am trying super hard to stay consistent with her, there are some days I have to put her in her bed and cry in my room for a few minutes and then I am okay!

Sometimes, we all just need a few minutes to ourselves....

Hopefully y'all are adjusting to the time change better than we are!!

I forgot to post last week that my sister came to town!

Anyways, my mom gets these really bad muscle spasms in her neck (I guess taking over a new business and having to put my Memaw in the nursing home stresses a girl out ya know?) so Mackenzie and I met her in Fort Smith when she got out of the doctor. We ate at El Chico's and M was tearing up her chips in tiny pieces before she would eat them. We started calling her Uncle Ricky, because he always did that.

I keep this on her night stand with her baby monitor, and she pulled it off, brought it in the living room, sat down in her chair and started flipping through the pages!

We are so glad the Hogs played better this week.. We had such a good time!

Mackenzie woke up as soon as I walked in the door at Dustin's parents. I thought she was going to jump out of the Pack n Play before I could get to her! Except for pulling poop out of her diaper, I am pretty sure she was good for her Grandma!

(oh and here is a short video of boss hog busting a move before the game.

seriously, we have the best seats! )

It's Razorback Victory Day!!

I am sure she will still be awake when we pick her up around midnight.. She has too much fun to sleep when she is out at Washburn Valley!

(I am going to have to make her another shirt.. she is just too tall!)

She even attached the spikes going across the back. Isn't this precious?

Hope everyone has a great Game Day! Really pulling for Alabama to beat LSU today! {There is a tiny possibility that if Bama wins and we win out, we could get a chance to go to the ROSE BOWL! Ultimate Check off from the Bucket List!}

Happy Friday!!

My Pooh Bear reading girl and I hope everyone has an awesome weekend!!

On Halloween, we headed to see family after we took pictures from my last post.

Like I had said, Mackenzie is still too young {for us} to trick or treat so we just went to visit some family...

her hair up, and still look like the part :)

Side Note: Halloween marked the 2nd Anniversary for Danny and his very last treatment for cancer. We can't believe that he has been cancer free for two years already. Time flies.

We had a really good Halloween.. would have been even better if Dustin was able to be here with us! I have never really been a really big fan of Halloween, I just never liked the scary things that go along with it, BUT dressing this sweet girl up was super exciting this year! Hopefully I get into it a little more when she gets older.

Really looking for to Thanksgiving! I am in the middle of a new swing top/ruffle pants for Mackenzie with the cutest turkey on it! I can't wait to see it once it is finished!

Hope everyone is having a great week! It is almost Friday!!
