Shake your head when you dance

Penelope has been cracking us up with her dancing moves! She does this everytime music comes on. Gwen of course dances all the time and it is her favorite thing!

Sickness + Puddles

Whew! What a week. As some of you know Gwenie has been mysteriously sick and in lots of pain this week and after taking her to the doctor two days in a row, for 5 plus hours each, they still didn't know what was wrong with her. I was really frustrated with the on call doctor that saw her for not figuring out what was wrong with Gwenie. I think she thought I was a crazy Mom who thought her daughter was in pain when she was not! I really really do not like doctors. I love our Pediatrician but she was totally booked (probably since she is so good) and we had to see the on call doctor. Needless to say I am going to report to my doctor that the on call doctor SUCKS!

On Saturday I called my mom telling her all that is wrong with Gwenie. I thought it might have been strep throat for a minute because Gwenie has all this white stuff in her mouth, but the doctor tested her for strep and it was not. My mom said Strep would only be on her tonsils and not in her whole mouth. Huh, why didn't the doctor tell me that?!?!?! My mom said it sounded like she had Thursh, which is a yeast infection in the mouth. IT then causes you to have a yeast infection in your woman area and that would explain why Gwenie had been grabbing herself and crying like she was in pain. I ask you, why didn't the doctor notice this when she looked in Gwenie's mouth and took a culture for her throat?? Or when I said that Gwenie was grabbing herself and crying in pain??? I even said to the doctor that it had to be a bladder infection or a yeast infection,but of course I am not a doctor and what do I know?? ( I have had both and knew the syptoms) Ya, dumb doctor.

Luckily I called my Mom and she diagnosed her. So on Valentines Day, Saturday,Brett and I sat in the walk-n clinic with Gwenie for another 4 hours! Three days in a row of doctors. Atleast the doctor agreed with my Mom and gave us medicine and Gwenie is finally feeling better, even though she is still in alot of pain and is waking up in the night crying. The doctor said it would take a week of medicine before she felt better, but she is on the mend. So thanks Mom, you really should have been a doctor. You always know what is wrong and what to do in situation. You are my hero!!!

Brett had today off and decided he was actually going to take it off. He had been planning on still going to work since it is a short month, but surprised us this morning when he was still here. YAY. We went to lunch at Lucille's and then let Gwenie play in the puddles because she has been DYING to.

She was dancing to her hearts content.

Then decided to try to drink the water. I swear this girl wants to drink any water that she sees, but I don't let her luckily.



She had tons of fun and the poor girl deserved it!



This is my favorite one. I love her little hands and feet.



Now we just have to wait the week it will take for her to be completely better!

Guitars, Dancing & Music

The pictures tell the story. I really don't need to elaborate.

Is Gwenie trying to be a model with this pose?



Or this one? Where does she learn this?





I can't believe that Gwenie is already 22 months. I really do not want her to turn 2, that just seems crazy. She really is starting to be the typical girl and talks non stop. So far it just cracks us up and hasn't been annoying yet. Her new word is "Sorry" she says it on her own when she bumps into you or does something that does warrant it, I am so proud.
