long, busy and sick weekend

both me and baby boo boo are sick. he's had a snot nose for a few days but now the color of snot is different and grosser. last night when we got home from visiting my parents he woke up with a cough. amazingly enough he slept okay through the night (wait, that sounds like he "slept through the night" which he definitely did not do...i mean that he did not wake up crying and keeping everyone up for an hour, just like 4 or 5 times and was able to get back to sleep and then woke up at 8 all happy)

so anyway. i am feeling better. i hope we don't all have this swine flu business. boo boo has his 9 month checkup (um, three days before his 11mo b-day) so we'll see if he's still sick by then. let's hope not.

on saturday i went down the the baby store and bought an ergo baby carrier. we tried on in the store and it seemed okay. then later corey put it on so boo boo could ride on his back. for about 5 seconds. i tried it later that night. long enough for us to go downstairs and do laundry and then come up stairs to go to bed. yesterday i tried again and he REALLY didn't want to be in it on the back. front is okay. i think we all have to get used to using it.

bleeblooblah.

girls night in!!!

or rather, 'me and beeboo will sit at home while corey takes E out to return video's and to the park while i finish making dinner and watch deal or no deal'

i think this is slowly becoming a once a month blog, people!! hot dog! little buster has been walking (or running with his arms behind him) for a while now and it is hard to do most things i could kinda sorta do before. i can't really sit at the computer because he wants to see what i'm doing and play with the mouse. i can sort of do dishes while he runs around and i just listen for him and check every minute. he usually just runs around in circles through the kitchen and living room.

this week we've gone on lots of outings. zoo, playground, baby story time at the liberry. i'm trying to keep busy because E is teething bad and being out seems to make him forget. he is super snotty right now and it's hard for him to nurse so last night everyone was up between 3 and 4 while we tried to calm down and feel better.

in other news, 4 out of 4 of the phones i used in the past year are dead as door knobs and i WANT A NEW ONE. corey found this "rugged" phone for construction worker types that he thought would be perfect - waterproof and with some kind of rubber casing.
( booboo likes to find the phones and slobber all over them making it so the mic doesn't work). but it's only available in black (lame) and is being discontinued. plus it was expensive. i think my other option could be to get a free phone and a "blue douche" headset and keep the phone up high.

in more other news, i want an ergo so that i can carry booboo on my back. i imagine i could get loads of stuff done like that, since he could potentially fall asleep and wouldn't be reaching for stuff as i wash dishes. his two carriers now are either uncomfortable for long periods of wearing (sling) OR too time consuming to put on while he's upset with me and wanting to be held RIGHT NOW!!(moby-like wrap).

so there you have it.
