posting this for Grandma.
I was going to remove the video, once grandma saw it...but have elected not to. Sister said, why? I guess I want this blog to be interesting to my friends and family and I thought another video would be boring to you all. But then I want to come and see Sweet Pea staggering around, so I didn't want to remove it. So it stays!

babyproofing begins
I was off work, because of President's day yesterday and spent the day...baby proofing the house. Every room, except Honey Bun's bathroom (which I refuse to clean) has been uncluttered and outlets have been covered and extension cords have been eliminated and cabinets are shut tight.
I even put up a baby gate to insure that she doesn't get the hot water heater. Which caused all kinds of panic. Honey Bun didn't know what to do then...he was on the garage side of the gate and didn't know how to get to the kitchen. You step OVER. I could tell that was troubling to him. Then the cats were having the same problems. I had to take each one and put them over it, Bill finally jumped over. You see the litter box is in the garage, so mastering the jump over the gate is important to us all. Ted had a wild look in his eye, so I am sure he had an interest in mastering the jump also.
I know the baby proofing only lasts till she finds something else to put in her mouth or pulls the iron down on her head...but for one day...she is safe.

6 mo shots
It was thundering and lightening and raining ice pellets when I woke up this morning. Honey Bun called from the office and said it was bad out and for us to be careful...so I opted to stay home till after the doctor appt. Sweet Pea had to have her 6 mo shots. Poor Baby! I had a good visit with the doctor and I really like her, but she is expecting again and I am wondering if I should schedule our yearly check-up for after her maternity leave. I expect I will just so I can see her.
We had to wait in the waiting room for 30 minutes. And I even had to say, "we have been waiting 30 minutes, should I reschedule my appointment?" You know what happened next...the nurse came out and put us in a room and we sat another 20 minutes. And we were in a room that looked like it used to be a storeroom(yesterday) and they just rolled in the examination table--right before we walked in. ANYWAY. I think they should at least tell you that the doctor is running about an hour late, and I don't expect that they will say...we have been waiting for you, come right in. But 50 minutes of waiting...gimme a break.
But I had a huge list of questions and I totally got my $25 co-pay's worth of the doctor's time. So now she is over an hour later than she was.
The nurse came in with the shots and asked me if I wanted to stay in the room? Like I would leave my child, when we both knew she was going to hurt her. And then she asked me if I would be able to hold her down. I mean really...the child is 6 months old. Yes, I can hold her down. She cried so hard. I knew it was going to hurt, she got 3 shots and I did my part and talked to her and held her and then got her dressed so we could go out in the cold. I think it hurt her feelings that I would allow that to happen to her. She was asleep before we got home and I carried into day care and put her in the crib. I left the tylenol with her and can't wait for 4:30, so I can go get her. Already it is an emotional day!
