Cole is sick today. He didn't want to sleep last night. He went down around 7:30 but was up at 10, 12:30, 2:45, and 5:45. Fun (not.) I am also not feeling tip-top but I'm surviving. I don't think I really slept much at all because between Coleman waking up, I was coughing. Which was keeping Jeff awake. Oh and Shelby got up sometime between midnight and 3 also, to peepee. Then I had to lay in her bed w/ her but I couldn't stop coughing so Jeff went in to lay with her. Isn't there someone who doesn't WANT or LIKE to sleep at night who could come stay with us for a while?? :) Anyway, Cole must have not been feeling well b/c when I picked him up this morning, he felt really hot and he had a 101.1 temp. So I stayed home with him this morning, and Jeff came home at lunch to stay with him the rest of the day. After napping in his crib for about 30 min this morning, he slept on top of me on my bed for another hour. After that his temp was over 102. Poor sweetie. He doesn't act like he feels that bad, just kind of lethargic but he's still lots of smiles.
This morning out of the blue Shelby exclaimed, "Oh no! I have a wedgie!" Haha- I guess I taught her that. The last panties I bought her are "low-cut bikinis" or something. They're way cute but she walks around with a wedgie in them all the time so I'm always telling her to pull out her wedgie. She still hasn't figured out how to do that without pulling her whole panties off. :)
Well that's all for now. My head feels like it might explode from the sinus pressure. Please let us feel better! This no sleep thing is definitely not helping my immunity.

Weekend pics
Coleman is such a happy boy! Here he is this morning, dressed all up like a big boy with a BIG smile on his face to go with it!
Here's Shelby making a mess with her ice cream sandwich on Saturday:
Friday night Jeff and I got to go out on a "date." We went to Brio. Jeff was feelin all young and cool rollin' without the munchkins:
and I was just really excited:
It was a great weekend!! :)

Cole's new favorite thing
Crawling out the doggy door! He's fast too! We caught him several times this weekend, halfway out the door.

It's finally Friday!
I've been trying to get up the desire to update on here- I've just been worn out this week! Shelby has been a BEAR. She doesn't want to go to bed, she doesn't want to go to school, she doesn't want to do whatever it is that we ask so it's fits all the time. What a beating!
We went to Gram & Grandpa's house on Wednesday and we just hung out at their house all day. It was fun and relaxing. Shelby really enjoys seeing them. She fell asleep on Gram's lap right after I had given up on the idea of her taking a nap. The rest of the week has just been basic routine life.
This morning, Coleman crawled all the way out of the doggy door! Jeff was ironing his pants and Shelby and I were in the pantry (she was trying to decide what she wanted for breakfast) and when we all walked back into the kitchen, little man's booty was the last thing sticking out the door. It was quite funny.
Tonight Jeff and I have a date night! We are finally going to use the gift certificate the Mill Anna & Ty gave us to Brio last Christmas. It is "Parent's Night Out" at Shelby's school, and they are keeping her from 6-10 like a little mini slumber party. It's a fundraiser for the school, pretty neat I think. Nonnie & Poppy are going to keep Coleman.
Ok let's see, what else has gone on this week? Coleman pooped 5 times yesterday. He blew out 2 outfits, and Shelby pooped in her pants at school too. So I had some laundry to do last night! I cannot believe it's so close to Thanksgiving, yet it's 80 degrees today. I am excited about having everyone at my house for Thanksgiving dinner- I even went and bought plates, napkins, etc yesterday. I hope it's a cool day, 80 degrees on Thanksgiving would just be wrong. Mimi, I wish you could come!!!! Any chance of working that out?
Cole has another tooth popping through, it's one of the side middle ones on the bottom. So that's his 7th tooth after the top 4 came through last/this week. I dunno- maybe that's what's making him so poopy and runny!
That's all for now. I have a headache and don't feel very creative this morning! Byeeee.

I need music to dance!
I wish I had a camera or at least a microphone following Shelby around. She's so cute and funny to me! Last night when I was cleaning out the garage, I found a little tutu that she had gotten at a birthday party. I took it in and she was so excited, and put it on immediately. Then she headed into the living room saying, "Mommy, I can dance in it!" I said, "Yes you sure can" and just watched her walk in there. She turned around as if to scold me and said, "MOMMY, I have to have music to dance to!" "Oh, sorry baby." haha Then we turned on the music and twirled and danced for what seemed like an hour. It was fun and I got some exercise! Then this morning she was walking by my desk and my pump and everything fell into the floor. She turned around and looked at it and then looked at me and said, "I'm sorry Mommy." Pause. "It was an accident." Aww I just want to eat her up!

Shelby-isms and Cole's 9 month dr appt
Jeff is sitting in the living room icing his arm since he pitched today, and Shelby just came running to me, and I could hear her saying the she had just hurt herself, so of course I expected her to ask me for a band-aid like she always does. Instead, she look at me so seriously and said, "Mommy, I just hurt myself, so I need some ice." hahaha. Update: Jeff just came in and told me that he touched Shelby's cheek with ice, and told her she could ice her foot, so she put her foot on the ice for half a second and that was good enough for her. Then she just came in and said, "Mommy, Daddy put ice right here, and he put ice right here, to make it feel better." So I asked if it felt better and she said, "Yeah!" in her cute cheery expression.
Another thing she said today (when she was mad at me) that wasn't so cute was "I'm gonna punch you in the face."
I just told Shelby that she needs to wipe her face, so get me a kleenex. She runs off to daddy, "Hey! Hey Daddy! Where are the kleenexes so I can wipe my nose?!" She is so proper in her speech and it's so cute.
Today we went to Natalia's birthday party. Natalia is one of Shelby's favorite friends in her class and she was turning 3. They had the party at a gymnastics place and it was so much fun for the kids. I'm afraid we may have to have a party at a place like that, too.
I was sick on Friday and I don't think it's totally gone. I woke up Friday morning and had some apple juice, which caused me to get so nauseous that I threw up. Then for the rest of the day, I couldn't get out of bed without getting sick. Since Jeff was running late from getting both kids ready, I had to get up and take Shelby to school. After I buckled her in, I had to go to the back of the car and puke for a few minutes. Nice. Then Shelby walks in to school and proudly starts telling her teacher that mommy threw up. And of course the 2 people I told about being sick (My mom and her teacher) both asked if I was pregnant. Ummm, no. But anyway, my tummy is still yucky and not very happy when I eat, but I am much better than Friday, when I stayed in that bed for almost 8 hours. I must admit, it was NICE, even if I was sick. :)
Cole's 9 month appt was Friday, too. I did drag myself out of bed to go to that, since someone also had to pick Shelby up from school at the same time. He weighed in at 22 lb 4 oz (between 50 & 75th percentile) and 30.5 inches (95th percentile.) He's nice and healthy, except the doctor found one thing of concern. Cole has lots of fluid in/around his left testicle. It should not still be like this; even when babies have this fluid at birth and early on, it is supposed to be gone by 1 year, and the doctor said since it's still there then we need to have a surgeon look at it and probably have it fixed. SURGERY!?!? For my baby??? So scary! But the doctor said that it's a day surgery and not that bad as far as surgeries go. He gave me numbers of the 2 children's surgery groups in the area and said they are all great, so now I have to contact them. The thought of them putting my baby boy to sleep and cutting into him is scary, but I know that he will be fine, and we have been so blessed to have 2 children with perfect health and development. By the way, the fluid in testicle thing is called hydrocele, in case I ever forget. :) haha
More about Cole: He has been pretty clingy but I think that's because he's teething like a badboy and he needs his mama and dada to make him feel better. He has all 4 top teeth now (the middle ones came in this past week) and now I think he's really working on the eye teeth. Those ones take a long time and a lot of pain! :( He has been holding his hand high up in the air and making the "Guns Up" sign- of course he doesn't know "Guns Up" but he will soon since we say it every time he does it! He's been giving "5" and waving hi and bye. He also gives wet slobbery kisses to his mommy and his nonnie all the time. They are messy but we love them!
