Its Wednesday already?

This week is going by fast. Probably because Ryan had Monday off so he was here an extra day. It hasn't been that much of an exciting week. Monday I got my birthday/valentines day present and it was a hot stone massage. It was amazing. It was my first massage so it was a little awkward at first but after a few minutes I just laid there and enjoyed. I really want to go back and get another one. That my be my holiday present to myself every year. :)

Last week was pretty boring. My computer has been acting up and we were going to fix it but then Ryan found a good one for a good price so we bought it. I love it. Its so quiet and never gets overheated like my other one. We're going to fix my old one and hopefully give it to my sister. If we can't fix it then we'll just trash it. We did our taxes this weekend and we're getting about $3500 back. Most of it is going to pay off our credit cards. I wish we could do something fun with it but we need to be responsible and pay off debt. Being an adult sucks.

Tomorrow is school. Hopefully she doesn't have a lot of breakdowns this week. Last week wasn't as good as the week before but it wasn't terrible. She ignored music which usually is her favorite part. It was a bit strange. She kept walking out of the room to roam the halls. So I'd follow her to make sure she wasn't getting into anything. I kept trying to get her to sit and play music but she wasn't having it. We'll see what this week brings. Her sleeping was getting better then she had a relapse this weekend. Last night she was up til almost 10. She took a 2.5 hour nap and when I tried to lay her down at 8:30, she was not ready. She jumped, yelled, cried and talked for over 30 minutes. Then just started crying so I tried to rock her. No dice. Finally at 9:30 I changed her, gave her another small bottle and rocked her for 25 minutes and she went to sleep. She slept until 8:30. I haven't tried to get her to nap today yet. She hasn't acted crabby or anything yet. If napping makes bedtime a 1-2 hour fight, I'd rather her just give up her naps. When she doesn't nap, she takes her bottle and goes straight to bed at 8ish.

Well the laundry should be done soon so I should pick up the house and put it away. Such an exciting life I lead. ;)

Happy Valentines Day everyone!!

I hope everyone is doing well. Its been a long 2 weeks since I last wrote. A lot of nonsense has happened. It snowed 20+ inches, our internet went down, I turned 25, our power went out and now its Valentines day. Its been busy.

Ryan took Kenna out to play in the snow but I guess she didn't like it much. I didn't think she would. She isn't a cold texture fan. Maybe next year.

My birthday was on the 6th. I went out shopping with my stepmom, sister and mom for it. It was fun. I got some clothes and a Nook. I love it. Ryan got me something that he is giving me this weekend. Its a birthday/valentines day combo gift. Its a secret so I have no idea what it is. I have a few ideas but he isn't telling me anything. I'll find out Saturday. I'm really excited.Oh I got this super awesome poster from my bestie. I hung it up across from my bed. I love it.

I got a surprise bouquet of flowers today. Ryan kept saying that I wasn't getting anything today and that the surprise was this weekend. That was fine with me but then around 4 today someone delivered a beautiful flower bouquet. I love it. I have something being sent to his work Wednesday. He had to one up me and give me something today. Jerk. ;) Here are my flowers.

Kenna also learned some new tricks. She now loves opening and closing doors. Sometimes she'll close it too hard and get stuck. Usually she doesn't push it too hard though. Here are some in action pics I got. Ignore her wet shirt. She was chewing something right before deciding to play with the door.
Peeking through:

I see you!

Here I am!

And a smiley one for good measure

She has also learned to clap her own hands. I've been working on that for about a year and she finally did it. She use to just clap my hands together but wouldn't do her own hands. Now she does. I was so proud when she just started to clap her hands that I cried. :) She does "so big" too. That started today. I tell her I love her "sooo much" and she raises her hands above her head. Its so cute. Here is a video of her clapping. Please ignore my messy bathroom.

She is getting so big. 4 months until shes 2! I already reserved her birthday party location. I just have to send them a check. Its at another park so hopefully it doesn't rain or its warm this year. I can't believe she is almost 2. Time has flown by.

This weekend is a 3 day weekend for us. Ryan has Monday off for some national holiday. I'm excited to have more time with him. Then next Monday is our Plain White Ts concert. We get a night out in Chicago. It should be fun. I'm looking forward to it.

Well since Kenna decided to get up at 6:30 this morning, I'm hoping she goes to bed a little early for me. Its almost 7 now so I may start getting her ready. Now I just need her to sleep til 8 or so tomorrow. She peed through her jammies this morning which is why she got up but then wouldn't go back down after I changed her. I may need to move up a size for her night time diapers. We'll see how this week continues. Its good that we may need to though. That means she is gaining weight and getting bigger. All good things when she is under the 5% for weight and height. :)

Time to get ready for bed! Its going to be an early night for mommy too. I'm exhausted.
