Teething....

Friday morning KaeLynn woke up at 5a.m (which is not normal for her) in the worst mood ever. She was just screaming and it seemed that nothing would make her happy. All we could do was swaddle her up real tight in a blanket and hold her. So Cavan held her in the dark all swaddled up and rocked her back to sleep. But then she would not sleep longer than 40 mins! I thought she has to be teething because she had a runny nose and a cough. Friday was the worst day ever. She didn't want to eat, she didn't want to be held, nothing made her happy! All I could do was wrap her up in a blanket and put her in her vibrating bouncer chair. We did drive to Vancouver to visit my mom and step dad and we went for a walk at Lackamas lake and as long as KaeLynn was wrapped in her blanket she seemed to enjoy the walk. Thank goodness because I needed to get out of the house. Then Saturday came and we had already planned to drive up to Astoria to visit my family. She was better than she was on Friday but still had a few screaming spells that we could not get her out of. My family was very understanding but I was still overwhelmed and thought it was so ironic that this would be the weekend she was going to teeth! My dad was so good with her and still wanted to hold her and cuddle her even if she was screaming. It was so cute! She is now back to her cute self and we could not be happier to have her back!

Music to my ears


I have been wanting a piano for a long time now but obviously don't know how to play or can afford one. Then one day my good friend Joy knew someone who was giving away their piano for FREE! I was so excited I immediately agreed. Cavan was not excited to say the least but at least he was nice enough to get his brother and dad to help us move it. I even have piano lessons set up. My good friend from Young Women's is teaching me in exchange for babysitting. I love it! I just can't wait until I can play well enough to have the family standing around the piano at Christmas time singing carols!
