Getting Ready For Christmas!

This really makes me want to vomit. If you listen to it take my advice, its easier to listen to it in parts. So pause and take a break every 30 seconds or so. I'm still not all the way through the song... If this doesn't get you into the Christmas spirit early NOTHING WILL!

Funny side note: While playing this song my cat proceeded to pee on the Christmas Tree Skirt. Lovely. And the dogs ran around the house barking because they couldn't figure out what the awful sound was.

Goal

I've made myself an ongoing goal, to keep my house CLEAN. Not perfect but still clean enough for me to not go crazy. I started this week and so far its working out pretty good. The only unclean part of my house is currently the kitchen and I'm being a little neglectful of it because IHATE unloading the dishwasher. Thats pretty much all that needs to be done, dishes. Other than that my bathroom is SPOTLESS and the livingroom floor is staying pretty toy free except for when Amir is playing in there. Amir's room is still a mess buuuut what can ya do?

The reason for this goal is because Rich and I have decided to start trying for another baby.HOOORAY! I get insanely tired, grumpy and TIRED while pregnant so I have to get into a groove now. I have been driving myself crazy trying to keep my house perfect and I've finally come to the realization that it will never be perfect with the animals and a two year old.

We put our Christmas stuff up early. Just a few things here and there and the Christmas tree. The cats likes to climb the Christmas tree so that drives me a little crazy because he knocks the branches and ornaments off. Most of my Fall stuff is down except for my leaf bowl and Thanksgiving tablecloth. I cannot wait for thanksgiving this year! Rich is taking extra time off next week which will be nice. He's so great.

Amir's Well Child Checkup

I blogged about his immunization so I thought I would also put up his percentiles and stuff...

Something to celebrate: HIS WEIGHT IS UP TO 37.71%tile The last time we went he was in the low 20's.

Height:26.95%tile - The doctor said to expect a growth spurt because the last time he was in he was in the 74th %tile

And finally his head circumference.... 85.8%tile. He's always had a big head.

The doctor said everything looks good and we go back next year to do it all over again (besides his immunization schedule)

Hib

Today my baby got his first vaccine ever. Luckily we found a really great doctor who works with us with the vaccines. Amir got the Hib vaccine. (http://www.vaccineinformation.org/hib/) He was such a good sport about it. Before the nurse came in to administer it I told him that it was going to hurt but I would get him some fries after. So when the nurse came in he said "hurt?" and she told him that it would hurt but not for very long. We laid him down on the table and she stuck the needle in his thigh for two seconds (literally) and then it was over. Amir didn't cry or anything. He just whispered "owe" when the needle first came in and as we were walking out. She gave him a Ming Ming sticker and a Spiderman bandaid so it was all better. On the ride home he complained about some pain but when we got to my mom's house we gave him some children's tylenol and then he was fine.

After the tylenol wore off he complained a little more and the injection site was red and swollen and he had a slight fever so we gave him some more tylenol. Now he's back to his old self getting into the cat littler and chasing the cats. I'm guessing that he reacts to vaccines the same way I did so he should be pain free in a couple of days. We go back in two months for the DTaP.

Like I said, our doctor is really great and we have an awesome schedule lined up for his vaccines.

Pie Monster

Yep, he took his stool in there to play with the leftover pie on the counter. It was all over the wall, counter and oven door... Good times. haha
