B's First Christmas!

Daddy and B on X-mas morning. As you can see, she still had cotton in her ear from being sick but she was better by the time x-mas morning rolled around. We had a busy day. We started out the morning at my parents and opened up gifts, then we headed out to Corey's dads side x-mas gathering for a few hours (which was a little crazy since there are 500 Wilsons' running around everywhere, I thought my family was crazy..........) We then went back to my folks' to have some dinner and then finally headed home for a much needed nap for the whole family. The problem we are having is creating room for all the gifts B got!!!! I think the grandparents will be taking some so when they watch her she has something new to play with!!! B is finally feeling better and she is starting to sleep a little better, not great, but better:) Hope everyone had a good holiday!! Have a Happy New Year if I don't see you!!! Love, Meg!!

Finally a picture of B and G'pa Wilson!! He got her wayyyy to may presents!!!

Austin Tyler opening up presents.

B and Old Nana on X-mas day. B likes her cane that she is using to get around in the ice.

B's first purse! And it talks too!!!:) EZ likes it for himself too.

Don't let the pic fool you, she liked the paper and bow better then the actual present.

My mommy and me. I'm pretty sure she has her eyes closed:)!!

My cousins' and I at Christmas (Jen and Mel)

1st ER visit!!!

Well, let me tell you......having a baby scream bloody murder for two days and not doing anything about makes me feel like a piece of crap parent!!! B had a cold this past week and thought she was getting over it and we would move on. Not the case......The past couple nights she had been waking up and screaming, I didn't think too much of it....thought it was her stuffy nose that was causing her to wake up. She has been really fussy, but like G'ma pointed out, she is a fussy baby so I really didn't think too much of it. I later thought to myself Sunday night that maybe her ears were infected. She had a temp Sunday and called the Mercy nurse and they told me to give Tylenol and if not better in a few hours then bring her in. After two hours of screaming, we packed up B at 1:30am in below 0 temp and headed to the ER. Got back home around 4am with a diagnosis of an infected ear. She is still a pretty sick baby today, but Mommy couldn't take off another day so G'ma Traci is looking after her. I'm hoping she is better by Christmas, but like my cousin pointed out; someone is always sick for our holiday get together, and she is correct (last year it was my mom). Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone. I'll keep you posted on the sick baby!!

New Addition and A sick little B!!!!

Well......we have a new addition to the Wilson Family.......no mom and dad, I'm not pregnant again:) We have added a Shar Pei puppy, which Corey named EZ (pronounced, Easy, due to the fact that he is a pretty laid back dog, dumb name I know........) I did not want to get a puppy while we were in an apartment, but Corey has a listening problem and must have gone deaf at that statement. He knew I wouldn't say no to a cute little puppy. Anyway...it is done and he is here so I guess I welcome him with open arms. He took advantage when he first arrived to B's bouncy seat that she doesn't use anymore:) He has been well behaved and him and B seem to be hitting it off well. B is kinda mean, but that is to be expected and EZ is taking the baby beatings in stride......

This is a surprise to my parents, but I figured I would surprise them on the blog. Congrats, you are grandparents to a new Wilson:)

On another note, B has been sick this past week for the very first time and let me tell you.....it is not fun for neither of us!!! She got a little cold and wouldn't sleep very much so needless to say I am sleep deprived and can't seem to catch up. She started last night waking up screaming bloody murder, and has done the same tonight on and off, so it will be off to the doc first thing in the morning......hopefully I don't end up in the ER tonight. I think she may have ear infection.....I will keep everyone posted. Hope all is well with everyone and if I don't get the chance to talk to you.....Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!!!!

B and her new puppy EZ playing with her toys.

B and her Great Great Grandma Betty!! We stopped over a few weeks ago to wish her a happy birthday!

My Little Pooh Bear!!

6month stats!

Sorry all, I forgot to post her stats from her 6month check up.

Birth= 7lbs 13oz 20in
2.5 months= 11lbs 2oz 22 1/4in
4months= 13lbs 14oz 24 1/2in
6months= 15lbs 13oz 26 3/4in

She is still a little squirt but the doc said she looks great. Her head circumference is still in the 25%, height in 75%, weight 50%, she is going to be tall like her mama and daddy!!! She is starting to get stranger anxiety so she didn't want much to do with the doc this time!!

Moving all about and new x-mas pics.........

My mom and I took the kids to go get their x-mas pics and Austin's b-day pics last weekend and all i can say is that I am not looking forward to that each year!!!!! The kids weren't bad it was the other 500 kids running around like crazy that drove me nuts!!!! It is really difficult to get one child to look and smile at the camera let alone trying to get 2 kids to corporate!! If one was smiling the other was looking away or starting to cry....I can't imagine having to take more then two kids. Thanksgiving was also this past week and it was a very busy time visiting family. Braelynne kept everyone entertained but was exhausted by the time I got her home and she also slept in the next day for mommy. It is back to work for us.....hope all is well with everyone. B's funny smile at x-mas pictures....she is a goofball!! Austin turns 4 on Dec.1st and we went and got the kids' x-mas pics + Austin's b-day pics...isn't he a doll!!!

Look Aunt Melissa....I finally fit into the cute Harley Davidson outfit you got me..

B standing up like a big girl!

Doesn't she just look like she is trouble........she was pretty pleased with herself that she could scootch herself off of the blankie on the floor and get lodged in between the swing. Its time for the pack-n-play so I can keep her out of trouble:)

We are officially in trouble, B has started to move backwards!!!!

Big Baby B and her new pics!!

We went and got Braelynne's 6month pictures taken yesterday and it went surprisingly well. She wasn't a real smiley baby but she wasn't in a bad mood either. She was really well behaved and I had a really good time staying home from work with her. She is really fun these days and I hate that I have to go to work all day:( This week she also got her first tooth, it is barely showing, but it is for sure there!!

Talk to you soon!!

she looks like a little Angel!!!!

Pretty in pink

She looks so grown up.......

Family Time

This past weekend was all about family. Corey has been working a lot lately so we don't see him as much as we would like but this weekend we tried to make it about family. Sunday we celebrated Old Nana's birthday (my grandma) and got together for some good home cooking at my parents. This past weekend Corey and I also finally got some alone time without B when we visited some friends.....it was nice to get dressed up and not have baby vomit in in my hair or on my shirt:) Monday (tomorrow) is our 2year anniversary.....I can't believe it is only 2years!!!! It feels more like 10! I can't believe in that little of time we had a baby!!! Oh my lord we are crazy....:) Hope everyone is good, have a Happy Thanksgiving if I don't talk to you all before then.

The only way mommy can get things done around the house is to take me where ever she goes!! This weekend B helped mommy with laundry.... by chewing on clean socks!! She doesn't look very happy that I got the camera out AGAIN!!!!

My nephew and B with Old Nana. Priceless family photos.

This weekend we celebrated Old Nana's birthday (my grandmother, B's great-grandmother) and mommy got another pic of Austin and me with her!

B playing on Daddy before bedtime.

1st Word!!!!

Oh my gosh......Braelynne Faith said her first word last night......well I guess it wasn't the first time because last week Grandma Traci told me she said it but I didn't really believe her but last night I got to hear it with my own ears! I'm a little depressed but it is what it is......she said DA DA!!!! And Corey just thinks it is the funniest thing ever!! He was feeding her dinner last night and all of a sudden she blurts out DA DA, Corey said "did you hear that" and of course I did but I didn't acknowledge it, so Corey tells her to say it again and she says "da da"!!! That little brat, doesn't she realize the pain I went through when I gave birth to her.....she couldn't even say mama first!!! Kids.......

6months old and making new friends!!!!

My little Braelynne Faith turned 6months this weekend and I couldn't believe how fast the time has went. B and I attended a friends baby shower this weekend and the best advice that I could give her (from what I know so far:) is that she was getting ready to experience the best thing to ever happen to her and to really just enjoy it and remember every moment because they grow up so fast and before you know it, they are 6months!!!!!! It feels like yesterday when we brought her home!!

This weekend we also went out and visited our friends Zac and Katie Wheeler and B got to meet and play with their new daughter, Brooke. At Katie's baby shower she received the very famous Bumbo seat and since Brooke can't fit into it yet, we stuck Braelynne in it to play; she got a little irritated that she couldn't get out of it, but that is what mommy liked about it!!! They were so cute together....B was such a nice baby, she kept holding on to her:)

Braelynne and Brooke getting to know each other. Isn't it cute how B is reaching out to touch her?:)

Braelynne pigging out at dinner....what a mess!!!!

We started giving B baths in the sink again because she was afraid of the big tub, but I think it is time to move her to the big tub again.....B is grabbing at everything and has started reaching over the other side of the sink and pulling out dishes to play with! Whatever makes her happy I guess!!!!!!! She likes to think she is big and drink out of a big girl cup.

Mommy and B playing at a friends baby shower

I got to see my Aunt Sara at a baby shower this weekend and mommy finally got a picture of us!

Happy Halloween & A Little Baby Bee!!!!

My baby bee!!! She was so cute for Halloween, she was probably a little too young to take, but we had fun with Austin (until she had a melt down)! It was fun to get her dressed up and everyone thought she was really cute!! She wouldn't quit trying to eat her costume or trying to pull off her antenna's but I eventually got a good pic!

Last weekend we went to my cousin Melissa's for Bella's birthday party (B's cousin) and the cousin's had a good time together. It was crazy trying to get their pictures taken together, now I know what our parents went through!

The Queen Bee....haha...(I'm naturally this funny:) Mommy and B all dressed up!!

Superman and a baby bee......this was priceless! We have cute babies in our family!

This was Braelynne's Halloween pj's (if you look closely, her feet say "boo" on them---I thought it was cute, no one else seemed to be impressed:) She has her finger in her mouth 24/7 these days! Teething?

Old Nana and B, and once again i get no focus from B!

Old Nana (my grandma, B's great grandmother), this is the best shot I got. There was no way I could get all of them to look at me. B was focused on Bella's hat, Bella wanted to play with her new toy, and Austin wanted to play with balloons----this is as good as it gets:)

Nana and B--she never looks when you want her to!!

We found out that B really likes balloons at Bella's b-day party! She got furious when Austin took it away from her:)

Austin, Aunt Patty, B, and Bella--I'm sure my Aunt Patty is thrilled that she got put on the blog:)

Austin, B, and Bella

Last weekend was my cousin Melissa's daughter, Bella's birthday (which would be B's cousin). We tried to get all the cousin's together to take a picture, and I now know what our parents went through when they took us kids to get our pics taken when we were their age!!!! It was such a mess!!! One kid would smile and the would cry....or the other way around. Doesn't Bella look happy:) This was about the 100th picture we took of them together and they were all done!!

The Busiest weekend!!!!!

This past weekend was my best friend Sara's wedding and even though it was fun....I'm so glad its over!!!! It was a lot of stress and a lot of money and I'm just glad she is happy and as we speak she is in Vegas having a blast on her honeymoon. It was total chaos with Braelynne but family and friends helped out by watching her so i could try and enjoy myself. It was good to see most of you at the wedding, for everyone else.....hope all is well. Talk to you soon!!

Me and big Crystal at the wedding!

Mr. & Mrs. Justin Grove!!! Isn't she beautiful.....I cried like a little baby during the ceremony!!!

The BIG DAY!!! Early morning at the hair salon, the last picture Sara Lee and I took together before she became Sara Lee Grove! (Kinda scary without make-up huh?:)

This is B's little buddy, baby Chad, my friend Shawn's little boy and Braelynne had fun at the rehearsal for my best friends wedding this past Friday. They are too dang cute!!!

Mommy messing with Daddy while he tries to take a nap----nap, what the heck is that.....and yes... he falls asleep with suckers in his mouth all the time and I have the sticky marks to prove it on my pillows. I was felling goofy this day:)

Sorry Iowa State fans, we root for the black and gold---well, I guess everyone else does in the family, I don't watch nor understand football!!!haha

Daddy and B--he missed us while we stayed at my parents---but we got a knock in the middle of the night at door because he couldn't sleep with out us!!!! He may act tough but he is big teddy bear!!!:)--he would kill me if he read this!!!!

big cousin Austin loved having B around to play with. The day my parents came back he asked if me and B would come back and stay with him.....isn't he sweet!!!:)

This past week my parents were out of town, so I got the pleasure of watching my nephew and the family dogs for a few days! Surprisingly, my almost four year old nephew is pretty good and kept Braelynne occupied while I ran around like a crazy women. I thought it wouldn't be that bad having two kids, oh my was I wrong!!!
