Happy Halloween!!

This is the first year we have officially "trick-or-treated". Our little kitty was not a fan of her costume. She HATED the tail I made and I found some adorable ears to go with but she through a fit when I tried them on in the store so we decided to forget them!

Needless to say, we still had a great time showing off our little kitty! And we even got to see Aunt Kels and Uncle Kearney. 

Happy Birthday Daddy!!

Today is Tyler's 26th birthday! I work tonight so we did our celebrating yesterday with dinner at Valentino's after church. Which by the way is getting a bit challenging with Harper. She is starting to be miss independent and not loving that she has to be quiet in church. 

At Valentino's she was too busy flirting with the little boy behind us that she didn't eat much :) we are gonna have it rough in 16 years I'm afraid! Or 24 as Ty would say! 

We then enjoyed the beautiful by going golfing!! Harper loved being outside! 

Harper loved driving the golf cart!

Happy Birthday to the best father to Harper! She is soo lucky to have a daddy like him! 

Pumpkin Carving!

We had a great time carving GIANT pumpkins at Jared and Amanda's on Friday. It was fun to hang out with everyone again and do something that involved the kiddos!

Thanks to Amanda's grandpa for providing the pumpkins!

Harper was not a fan of the pumpkins at first but dad thought it'd be fun to take a picture with her in the pumpkin. Once she got over that, she loved it!  Would've kept her occupied for hours!!

Our finished projects!!

Happy Halloween!!!

Tubes for Harper.

We saw an ENT on Monday and it was determined that Harper will have to tubes put in her ears. She does not have any hearing damage as of now, but there was fluid in her ears. 

 We are hoping that maybe this will help with her walking as well. She does decent when we hold on to her hands but don't dare let go! She won't even think about standing by herself! 

The poor girl has also developed a running nose and a yucky cough, but seemed better today! Thank goodness for Boogie Wipes. Harper has started trying to blow her nose when you put the wipe up to her nose. She catches on pretty darn quick :) 

I'm stuck working the next few nights so Harper and Daddy get some good bonding time! 

Poor Harper :(

Our little lady came down with a fever on Thursday evening and on Friday got a shot of antibiotics and was put on oral antibiotics. All weekend we fought fevers and today decided to take her back to the doctor after being a little more crabby (which is totally not like her) and developing a rash. 

Turns out Harper is allergic to Zithromax-which I'm sure she is excited to know she won't have to have it again because she made the worst faces when we would give it to her! So now a new 10 day antibiotic regimen and potential ENT appointment to see about tubes. Crazy to think that today has been the first day she has tugged at her ear at all. She must have a high pain tolerance! 

The poor thing has a rash mainly on her stomach but has a few spots on her head and has been itching like crazy. So...tonight she got her first oatmeal bath.  I don't really know that I could tell a difference tho :(

A huge thanks to my mom for hanging with Harper today. She also made me meatloaf! That is the one thing I just can't make as good as her :) Ty is in Omaha for a class so it'll be just Harper and I until Thursday! 

Busy times!

I've been working days the past two weeks and I could totally get used to not adjusting between work and functioning normally. I'm anxiously awaiting the schedule where I am only scheduled day shifts... I think Tyler is too :). 

We were able to finish Harper's bedroom last week and she is all settled in. It looks great and it feels like the upstairs is finally complete-unless we decide to tackle to bathroom. 

Last weekend we headed to Lincoln for a weekend of Husker football and volleyball. Harper got to hang with Kelsey for one game and Alex for the other! Alex did a great job for his first time babysitting and changing a diaper! Harper loved being able to drive between their apartments-it is so nice having them at the same complex!

Tonight was the first night in quite a while that we had a bath without tears! She had loved her bath up until the past few months or so. We are praying that it isn't just a fluke! 

And look at all that hair she is getting! 

We have been trying to wean off the bottle but someone thinks she can only have water in a sippy cup, but I won't mention names :) that particular little lady has also thought that 5:30 is a good time to start the day. We have been trying to make bedtime a bit later in preparation for the end of daylight savings but her early wake up time is making it a bit challenging. Wish us luck on both!!
