Having a web cam conversation with g-ma and pa!

She really likes to see people that talk to her from a screen.. lol
I think she thinks its a tv show just for her. oh well. As long as she enjoys it :)

Teething Cookie's

So, as of late, Karma has been unable to eat the basic arrowroot teething cookies. The problem being that they r too thin and she ends up with a large chunk of cookie down her throat choking her. So my mom remembered the old fashioned teething cookies that she used to buy for my sister and I. She went online and found a recipe for them.
So for anyone who is interested, I am gonna post the recipe here. The cookies are solid as rocks and they dont mush up very fast so they dont break off for a long long time. Consequently, no choking. YAY!!

2 eggs, beaten
1 cup granulated sugar
1tsp vanilla extract
2-2.5 cups all purpose flour.

Beat eggs and add sugar, vanilla, and flour. Mix well. Roll dough between two sheets of floured wax paper till it is 1/4 inch thick. Cut desired shapes and place on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Let stand for about 6-7 hours. Bake at 325 degrees F for 20 mins.
(you have to let them stand to help get as much moisture out of them as possible, helps to make them as hard as little rocks.. lol)

So Karma is sick..

First cold ever.. sounds like her nose and chest..
keeping an eye on it to make sure its not gonna turn into rsv. lol
seems to be doing well so far though.. she ended up having her first symptoms during the night though.
That wasnt fun.
she didnt sleep well.. consequently, neither did i.
As long as it stays as just a cold, i will still be going to edmonton tomorrow night.
She is getting to be such a big girl.. :(
I kinda like her small.. she likes me still.. lol
Once she starts to talk back I thats when it starts to go downhill(mommy/ daughter conflicts..) hehe

Monkey had her 6 month shots.. :(

she did good though. Only screamed for a minute or so after each shot..

Only 14 lbs now though..(not like i starve her or anything) but i don't know why she has only gained just over a pound in 2 months..

last checkup she was in the 25 percentile for height and weight..

now she is just under the 25 percentile for her age(health nurse said it was still ok though) and just over the 75 percentile for height..

She said it seems to be ok since she has just grown upward instead of outward..
long and lean baby basically.
:(
:'(

my monkey isnt getting fat :(
i feel like im doing something wrong, but the nurse said it is still ok since she is growing in one way or another.. everything else is as it should be. except she never wants to sit(just straight to standing)and so she doesnt have the balance enough to sit up on her own yet..
but she is taking steps when she stands so, again, all seems to be going well.

Friggin kid seems to be making me feel like im doing something wrong at every turn lately.. lol

She bonked her head on mine today. :( :)
it was cute. she screamed of course.. but seemed to blame me for it.. she got excited when i was packing her and tried to attack my shoulder as i turned my head.. clunk!
after she screamed for a minute she watched some tv.. as soon as i said something to her she looked at me, started to pout, and then would cry again and push me away.. lol
she is my sensitive little butt :)

anyway, will stop rambling now.
The new xmas pics turned out ok.. pretty much the same poses(cause i liked them the first time around) but she smiled more for the camera..

baby is funny!!

and mommy likes to make her pics black and white










but with a splash of colour!!

but mommy is funny too, so it's ok, we know we are related!!

awww :)

She likes her new outfits.. got 2 of them.. one in blue and this one. Everytime i put the hoody up she would smile :)
being a happy girl the last few days.. not a lot of fussing or screaming for a change.. lol.

Smells funny... :P

i dont know what it is exactly.. but my daughters cheeks and ears always smell like popcorn. Strange, i know. But she seriously smells like popcorn. I dont know if its just me, or she just smells like that, or it could be the combination of her skins scent with her formula.. but, I swear to god, my child smells like friggin popcorn( even after a bath) but only her cheeks and ears...
I keep thinking it must be me.. but luc said so today to,,,, so i dont know... just rambling on about it,,, but it weirds me out!! (popcorn baby!! yay!!)
