I Won! I Won! I Won!

It looks as though I have won the poll! Hana looks like me!!! Sorry, Joe!

Sorry I missed a day, yesterday was just hectic! Hana & I went to Half Price Books to look for some new books for her. They do have a really good children's section, but I didn't see anything I just had to have for her right now. I saw plenty of stuff for when she's a bit older though; that will definitely be a place we will frequent often! I did see the game Jennifer had told me about. I meant to grab it before I left but I forgot. (I had a stinky, dirty diaper on my mind at the time!) This is the game Joe meant to invent! It's called Quip It and it's all about movie scenes and quotes, you know, the stuff Joe remembers and no one else does! Joe has been talking about creating this game for months...once again, too late! It's just like those shirts he talked about making back when Anna Nicole Smith was alive and they were trying to determine who was Dannielynn's father. "I'm Dannielynn's Father" is what he wanted them to say, within 2 days I saw the shirt in a magazine! He needs to start moving a little faster on these ideas of his! So anyway, after Half Price Books we went to Target and changed the diaper and did some more shopping. Nothing too exciting, she was just a little fussy once we got home. She did not want to take a nap! Now that I've written about yesterday it doesn't sound too hectic, but I guess when you go through the day with an almost 6-month old nothing can happen and it feels hectic!

Allergies suck. I'm still fighting with them. I have broken down and started taking Allegra although I was hesitant ever since the (insert bad word here) at our pediatrician's office told me Allegra is "relatively safe" for me to take while breastfeeding. She wouldn't suggest anything better for me to take she just said if it works for me, go ahead and take it. Thanks, lady. That makes me feel great! Now I suffer until I cannot suffer any longer and finally break down and take it. I did look it up on one of my new favorite websites http://www.kellymom.com/, it's all about breastfeeding & parenting. According to that website Allegra is okay, however Allegra-D can dry up your milk supply.

Little Miss Hana has decided she LOVES Barley! She sits there open-mouthed until I spoon it in! She just waits for it, or she tries to feed herself! In a couple more weeks she's going to start getting veggies! I assume all of you experienced moms are mocking me, but I'm following the schedule the doctor gave me. Mom was at that doctor's visit with me. He was very specific on how to introduce solids, so I'm sticking to the plan. Remember, I have no idea what I'm doing!!! I'm very excited about giving her veggies. I'm going to make her baby food myself! I've already bought the little containers to put it in and everything. I bought them from One Step Ahead and they are supposed to be awesome. You can freeze food in them and microwave them! (Hey, it's the small things, right?) I am not looking forward to veggie diapers though. The barley cereal has made a gross enough impact, I cannot imagine broccoli!

We've pretty much completed baby proofing the house so she's free to roam about as she likes now! Joe's decided she's going to be a hider. He says he hid a lot when he was little. She's always working her way up under our couch or the ottoman! Every time we turn our back this is what happens!
It's starting to get interesting!

I'm am so stoked for ZoneFest! I am really looking forward to playing Cranium. I don't know why but that's what I'm looking forward to more than anything this year! Well, besides the brisket and potato salad! YUM! I'm also looking forward to being less miserable this year. Last year I was pregnant and extremely hot. I wonder if I still have my misting fan hidden somewhere around here?

I guess that's all for now, I'm hungry for breakfast. Blog at ya later!

I don't have a godd pic of Brad. The only ones I have are from Christmas and he's not looking at the camera. Maybe I'll get one this weekend and we'll re-do the poll.
