RSV

Welp, Violet has RSV. She has been snotty and coughing and right now we are in a world of breathing treatments, Vicks vapor rub, and liquid antibiotics which is not that much fun. We also had to cancel hanging out at Sue and Steve's and at Shadow's house. Bummer! But hopefully now that we started the breathing treatments she should be on her road to recovery.

Love, love, love that I am now off every weekend. It was a rough week because I was up for over 24 hours three times this week but it was worth it. I love hanging out with my family. We may not be the richest in the neighborhood but I love hanging out with them.

Today while Violet was napping, we had our first swim of the summer! And yes it is only February. The water was freezing but the weather was beautiful. Sunny and 80 degrees. I even got a little red on my face and chest which is nice cause I am one white momma.

What a great weekend...

Violet is walking

Violet started taking 6 steps right around when she turned 9 months. Today she walked from the chair to the couch and was very steady on her feet. She walked right across the room. I think she did not know that she did that because when I got all excited she was like "what? huh?". She is so precious. Her eyes are still blue/grey and she still has her dimple. Her hair is still slightly red, especially in the sun.

I picked her up today and she put her arms around my neck as if to hug me. I about started crying. Love feeling her little arms around me. Oh, and she is also waving to me too. She is so precious!

My babies are going so fast!

I just needed to put something down somewhere before I forget it. I am thankful to see my children grow everyday even though I still have to work full time, the worklife of a nurse is very family friendly.

Anthony is so polite. I don't know how we raised such a polite little man. When I tell him I love him he tells me thank you. When I say bless you after he sneezes he says thank you. The other day he was watching me put on makeup and he said mommy you are so beautiful. Love that little guy.

I was taking a turn a little fast the other day and I said hold on little doggies. Anthony just giggled and giggled about how I called him a little doggie.

Anthony still has this major obsession about Iron Man. Today I bought him the mask and he is just amazed at how cool it is. Sometimes he is Tony Stark, sometimes Iron Man and rarely Anthony. It is so funny to watch him "fly" around the house. He makes this little noise when he does it to simulate a rocket booster or something. Of course, I think that his obsession has carried over to his school because his teacher asked me what is this Iron Man all about. I just laughed and I am sure he will grow out of it eventually.

Anthony has a friend named Wyatt. His mom called me today to see if they could have a play date. He was sick both days for school this week and I guess Wyatt came home and told his mom that he was worried about Anthony so they called us. His mom is very cool and I can see us maybe hanging out.

Violet is so beautiful. Her eyes looked green today. I had her in a black shirt and jean shorts. She is walking up to 5 steps and is getting better at walking around furniture. She looks more steady on her feet than just last week. She still has her dimple and her hair is still a red color in the sun. I just love her so much. Still can't believe that I have a baby girl. All seems so crazy!

So that is all that is going on. I am still working night shift and staying home during the day. Anthony is in school twice a week.
