We drove to Florida last weekend (not yesterday weekend) and celebrated Amelia’s birthday at my mom’s house with tons of family. We grilled out and had lots of good food. I saw family I hadn’t seen in a while. It was a nice day I think everyone enjoyed themselves.
Poor thing was not feeling good because of the medication she was on. So she was sort of crabby. Then, to our disappointment, the cake we got had marshmallow icing so it was horribly sticky. Not too fun to smash at a birthday party, so Amelia only got a few swipes at it and then started crying. She didn’t like being all sticky. She loved her toys. She kissed her new dolly and danced with her alphabet pal.
All in all it was a good party and it was nice that some family finally got to “meet” Amelia. But the drive was way too long and it was a challenge keeping her entertained and distracted so she wouldn’t cry and fuss too much.

Amelia will be ONE on Wednesday. She’s not one yet. And still we received our first plea from the school. We’ve been asked to do a fundraiser!! For the daycare! How nuts is that?!
We’ve been asked to sell cookie dough and cheesecake for our daughter’s daycare and she’s not even one year old yet. It’s absurd. Of course I’ll buy the obligatory package of cookie dough. I’ve even informed my office that she’s selling, in case they want some, so I’m doing my part, but I think it’s just crazy.

One day I happened to come across Parent Product Reviews and saw a post for free diapers. The mommy reviews products and gives away free stuff. She was giving away a 2 month supply of Luvs in size 3, so I thought what the heck, I’ll enter.
Sure enough I won!! a 2 month supply of Luvs diapers in the size Amelia is currently wearing!
A few days ago, I arrived home to see 6 big boxes on my doorstep. Diapers! Each of the 6 boxes contains 4 packs of Luvs. Each pack has 40 diapers. Do the math! That’s 960 diapers!! Holy crap. 2 months supply it is not. My husband figured that if we use on average 8-10 diapers a day, this will last us 3-4 months! Plus I had just bought an 84 pack of Huggies the night before because we were out.
So we now don’t have to worry about diapers for several months. That’s assuming she won’t outgrow size 3. But with her little tushy, I don’t think it’s likely. We definitely have oodles and oodles of diapers now.

Yep, we’ve all been bitten by some nasty bug this week and have been down and out. Amelia got sick over the weekend. Then DH and I got it and for some reason it’s hit me hard. Still feel sort of crappy. Thankfully, Amelia seems to be doing better.
It’s been a crazy week. She has an ear infection, I’ve got a nasty cough and sore throat. We got Amelia a new big girl car seat, which she’s almost ready to use. She also got new shoes! I was watching TV earlier and started crying when I saw a mom feeding her little baby. Why? Because my little baby is almost one year old, wearing shoes, walking, drinking out of sippy cups (not bottles) and she’s almost in a big girl car seat. My baby is growing up so fast!
We leave tomorrow for Florida. We’re spending the weekend with the family and celebrating Amelia’s 1st birthday a little early. (sniff, sniff) So I’ve been busy today trying to clean up a bit and do some laundry all while trying to get some rest. I’m off to pick her up from school. Then I’m back home to work on figuring out what needs to be packed for our big weekend.
