The Johnson Journal: brrrrrr

We've had some seriously cold weather over the past week! Emma has been going to Anne Sullivan Elementary for 5 years now, and she had her 2nd and 3rd snow day last week, due to negative 30 degree wind chills! Eric stayed home with her on Thursday as he wasn't feeling well, and I got to stay home on Friday! It was great! I got all the Christmas stuff put away, we met a friend for lunch and just hung out!

Harper turned 5 months old over the weekend. I can't believe the time is flying by so fast!! Her latest & greatest developments are that she can grab the string from your sweatshirt & just look at it, or put it in her mouth!:) She's very curious as to what is going on around her and she's always looking and smiling!

We'd started weening her from her Prevacid again this week, and she's seemed to been ok, but we've noticed, at night, that after dinner, she'll throw up all over the place! She's done it 3 times now. Of course, 2 of the times, I've been in the shower & she does it all over dad! He says I'm not allowed to shower while she's still awake:) Most reflux babies do throw up, so I'm wondering if that's what's going on. She did have a spell yesterday where she just cried for no reason, which could be her tummy?! I don't know. We've also stopped with the vegetables as that could be it too. She's now strictly on the Target formula and appears ok with that, but it's a guessing game! The minute she's done puking, she's happy as a lark & wants a bottle, so she's still hungry! As a matter of fact, last night she went to bed at 8, woke up at 11 for 5 oz and again at 5:00 for another 5 oz. Mom's not getting a lot of sleep lately and it's making me quite crabby:(

Tonight, Emma and I have Girl Scouts, tomorrow I have a meeting for Girl Scouts on cookie sales (and no, I'm not even the troop leader this year!) and I'm meeting a friend on Sat for lunch and pedicures!! I'm needing some time for myself, I think! Eric's getting ready to go to Portland in about 3 weeks to visit Steve and go to the Lakers/Trailblazers game, I think I'm due too!

Today, we're losing daycare lady #2. Ggma is going to Arizona for the remainder of the winter. Harper & her cuddle up most days. I can tell, as Harper smells like her every day:) I bet she'll be looking around for her a lot today! Nana's shoulder is good enough after surgery, that she can hold Harper now, thank God!
