I put Andi to bed and am winding down for the night.  It was a stressful day at work and at home.  We were short staffed at work today and I didn’t even get a minute to stop and think.  When I got home Bryan was pretty cranky because his blood sugar was low and Andi cried half the night like usual.  Bryan calls her his little drama queen and Andi Grace with a pretty face who came from Outer Space.  He probably picked up on all my weird comments.  Maybe one  child is enough.   I just wish she could tell me what was wrong, but I’m guessing its her teeth and there’s not much I can do about that.    Hopefully she will be in happier spirits when they come through.  Does anyone know once the four front teeth come through, are we done for awhile or are the others right behind.  Bryan still has not gotten much work.  He’s plugging away at his classes though, in the absence of work, so thats good.  I was so happy to have 70 degrees and Friday and Saturday and then today it snowed.  Grrr.  My work is going ok.  They are cutting a lot of our benefits.  They cut a day of vacation, our 401K contribution our pension plan and we didn’t get a raise this year.  All that said, thankfully I still have a job and insurance so I’m not too upset about the whole thing when I’m seeing so many other people losing their jobs all together.   It’s pretty much work and home for me.  I went to Once Apon a Child a few weeks ago and got Andi some cute hats.  I was looking for a spring jacket and never found one.  I checked all the stores in the mall and Kohls.  I ended up buying one on Ebay.  Apparently children under the age of a year don’t need jackets.  Andi is starting to do the army crawl a little.  She uses her feet and arms but still refuses to get up on her knees.  She’s been eating quite a bit of grown up food.  Alot of the skins on things give her problems yet.  We’ll find beans and tomatoes skins in her mouth a half hour after she ate them.  She’s been trying all kinds of new foods and usually half of it ends up in her hair.  Andi just turned 9 months old on Friday.  I can’t believe how big she’s getting.  Andi dances all the time.  Whenever we clap or she hears a little jingle or I sing her a song, she will start dancing.  Very cute.  We had a nice Easter with our families.  My grandma’s brother died so we ended up not going to her house because she was at his funeral.  My parents are off to Florida again.  Each time my mom comes back from Florida after being gone 3 weeks or a month she is so happy that Andi is still little.  I tried her in some 6-9 month clothes and the pants still fall off her.  The tops are a little better and I’m sure the dresses would fit if she doesn’t wear the little bloomers with them.  She needs to fatten up a little to keep those pants up.  Bryan and Andi are signed up for swimming lessons in July.  It will only last 2 weeks but I think Bryan will have a good time doing that with her.  It’s Monday thru Friday in the morning so I won’t be able to make it there because of my work schedule.  It would be fun to watch so I’m a little sad to be missing it but glad Bryan will have the opportunity to do that with her.   Well until next time.  I can’t think of much else to say.

    Andi Grace with the pretty face from out space looks so cute in her pics. I’m glad she is still little, too.

    Good job to Andi on making some progress towards crawling. I’m still suprised at how well she eats big people food. I know Sawyer wasn’t eating that kind of stuff so soon.

    Sounds like you all had a rough day. You can always bring Andi over to our house for awhile. Even if she is fussy, we would only need to deal with it for a couple hours . . . it would give you and Bryan a little break.

    When it comes to teeth, I think it differs with each child. I think Sawyer had a month or so break after the first four teeth (front top and bottom) came in. He wasn’t as fussy as Andi, though. Sawyer usually got sick (cold and flu like symptoms) but never too fussy.

    I’m sorry to hear about Andi’s teething problems. I’m sure it’s different for each kid but after Sophia got her first four teeth the others just seemed to keep coming. I hope that once she gets some through thought the others won’t bother her as much.
    She is so cute and tiny. Joshua’s only five months and fits perfectly into 6-9 month clothes and many 12 month ones. He’s so tall and chuncky.
    It great that you’re able to be so positive about your job. It’s so true that it seems like everyone’s fortunate to just have a job in this economy. Well, I’ve written a book! I hope you have a nice week and I really hope we don’t have any more snow!!!
