Yogurt, Hair, Two and What a Week!!??

I guess you all know about our hard week last week. Grace got sick on Monday of last week with the stomach virus. It was the first time we have seen her vomit like she did. Very sad. The vomiting only lasted one evening but she had diarrhea for days. On Thursday we got in a wreck in our neighborhood on the snow and ice (more on that later). Then Friday, Adam and I BOTH came down with the stomach virus and it was HORRIBLE. We didn't know if we could make it through the day being SOOO sick and having no family here to help with Grace. Thankfully, we made it through and now have recovered.

After getting over the stomach virus, we have noticed Grace to be more fussy/ irritable lately. We thought maybe she was trying to cut those last molars. I know she must not feel good at times because she has just NOT been her self. She will get all upset and cry and just real needy. Motrin seems to help so that is why we thought she most be achy some where, possibly in her mouth?? As I say this, we also believe we are fast approaching the TERRIBLE two's. We have seen a little monster come out of our sweet girl with little temper tantrums, and quiet a few of them the last few days. Some of this I believe is also related to her pacifier. We are working towards taking it away from her. She usually wants it only when she is in the car, sleeping, or when we are in a store and she is tired of riding in the buggy. Recently, we have been trying to avoid giving it to her in the store and in the car. We feel she is getting so dependent on it while doing those things. The last few days or so, when she hasn't felt good she seems to know that we are trying to not give it to her and we tell her "no" when she asks for it and it seems she wants it more!! So as a result, we have seen some 'fits' related to this. Also, she wants to eat sweet stuff all of the time since she has gotten over her sickness, and not her meals. So these are just some of examples of her fallen nature at best!!!:) Hopefully, her and her moods will get better! I hate that they go through these stages..

On a lighter note..
We were trying to give her things that would be good for her stomach and since she has been ? teething, softer things have tasted better to her so we got her some yogurt. Do you think she likes yogurt!!??:)


As for her hair... it seems like it is finally growing some!!:-)

Mommy was playing with her hair this day and we managed to make her a nice little pony tail on the top of her head!!

Grace is still our sweet little girl!! She has been so good natured and we love her spirit. Here is some of her sweetness.... :)

Piling up all of her 'babies' in 'her house' aka.. castle and then giving them TONS of hugs and kisses for the night!!:)
