A.D.D. blogging

 So many thoughts, so much going on, so little sleep!!! Each night, while showering at the most inopportune times, my mind is filled with all the funny things the girls have said throughout the day and all the ideas I want to capture and remember on the ol' blog. But then reality hits, someone is crying, someone needs help in the bathroom, or someone wants desperately to go to sleep and alas the ol' blog has to wait another day. Seems like such a trivial dilemma, but its my dilemma nonetheless ;-) Today I have time to blog but cannot for the life of me remember the cute/funny things I wanted to blog about. Instead I will go to my old standby of using pictures to recap and jog my memory.

A birthday party for Peaches and Olle
Ella decided that her beloved Build-a-bear stuffed animals needed a birthday party. Sparkles the dog, who was created in between Peaches and Olle, was excluded and I'm not such what her reasoning was for that...but I'm sure it was good and logical!

Ella made a birthday card for Olle and wrapped presents for her.

She also wanted to create a festive atmosphere. She cut out streamers one by one to hang for decorations. Daddy kindly told her that no, he was not climbing on a ladder to hang decorations from the ceiling for her stuffed animals birthday party ;-) Instead he suggested the dining room table!

There was a very good attendance of friends, and from what I hear the party was a success!

 Miss Ainsley and her cuteness seem to be growing more and more each day!!

 This past week, we seem to have stumbled back a few paces with the tummy troubles. At the beginning of September/end of August I cut all dairy products in all forms from my diet. I had a few slips with food I didn't know had a dairy product in it, but overall she seemed to be feeling better. Poop wasn't so acidic (just what you were all dying to hear about!), crying fits were far less and the spitting up had returned to a normal baby level. But then last Thursday, while at Back to School night for Ella, she made a BIG splatter on the classroom floor. A pattern of larger spit-up and more crying screaming fits began. Today at the doctor, he decided that we needed to do some blood tests to check for allergens. Here is our smiley girl with her coban wrap! She really is a happy happy baby at heart!

Toes are so much fun to play with!!

I will end now, bummed that none of the pictures triggered the funny stories I have been waiting to share/remember. Maybe I'll just start blogging from the shower?!?!
