Showing Off The Pearly Whites!!
I never wanted Sailor to get teeth. Well, she has them and I find myself working harder now to get her to crack a smile than before she had teeth!! I just love seeing them. They are sooooo cute!! She has the biggest gap between her top two and I love it!!! She now has 6 teeth... KEEP SMILING LADYBUG!!!
Lots of Stuff
There has been alot going on lately.... My brother has decided to go into the Army. I'm excited and terrified for him at the same time!! I went to stay a couple of days with my parents last week so we could all hang out before TJ has to leave for boot camp. It was nice getting to hang out with them... the last night I was there we threw a going away party for him. Please join me in praying for his safety and also that the Lord would provide him the strength to get through boot camp(I watched some army videos with them...YIKES!!)!?!

Lonely Ladies
Sailor and I have been two LONELY LADIES this week. Cameron had to go out of town Monday morning to San Antonio for work. He didn't get back in town until Wednesday night at 9pm and then had to leave Thursday morning to go to the deer lease and didn't get back until today!! I realized how much I depend on my husband this week when he wasn't here to relieve me!! I'm am sooooo EXHASUTED!!! I HATE when Cameron goes out of town because something ALWAYS happens to me!! Well, as usual.... something stressful presented itself!!! I took Sailor to the doctor for her 9 month checkup on Monday afternoon. Everything went really well. She's a healthy little baby. She weighed 16lbs 8oz. and she was 27 1/4 in. long. I was a little dissappointed with her weight... I was hoping she would be atleast 17lbs but no go!!! I'm just praying that she will weigh enough by 12 months to be able to face forward in her carseat!!! She's just a little girl I guess!!
So I went to get my hair cut at my salon on Tuesday. While we were there Sailor was just loving the attention. After a while though she started getting fussy and then started having another crying fit like last weekend. Well she wouldn't stop screaming and so I took her to the doctor again because it was on my way home. When I got there I told the doctor that she has to find something wrong with her!!! She had a 101.3 temp the night before and I knew she was not okay... something was wrong!! Well she was checking her body over and right at the last minute she checked her feet and then her toes.... and her right pinky toe was VERY red and swollen!! It was something that I feel had just happened becuase it wasn't hurt before I went to the salon. We couldn't see a scratch or a bite mark so the doctor wanted me to go to the hospital and get an x-ray. I was sooo sad!!! It was only tuesday... Cam hadn't even been gone for two WHOLE DAYS yet and some kind of drama was already going on!!! We went and had an x-ray and she did really well. I got some antibiotic for her toe, but by the time we got home her toe alomst looked normal again!! It turned out that her foot was fine in the x-ray.... so once again I have no idea what was wrong with her!!
We ended up managing through the week without Daddy and left on Friday afternoon to go see our good friends Mitch, Kellie, & Baby Laurel in Baycity. Laurel is 3 months younger than Sailor. The Atkinson family went also.... needless to say they had a FULL house. It was so much fun though. We went out to eat when we got there and I discovered that their 6 month old baby HOLDS HER OWN BOTTLE!!! And my nine month baby doesn't!!! When we got back to their house..... I worked with Sailor a little bit and she ended up holding her own bottle.... for like 60 seconds..... then she started playing with it! But that's a start!! She also drank from her sippy cup for the first time!! And she has 5 teeth now!! CRAZY!!
It was a little stressful getting dressed for church on Sunday morning without Cameron. He normally gets Sailor Bug dressed for me and I had to do it all myself. When we got to church I went to drop her off in their nursery and the lady who worked in there grabbed Sailor from me and she started crying.... so then I started crying!!!! I couldn't believe it!! I was like, "What's wrong with me??!!" By then I was just sooooo exhausted, and I missed Cameron, and I was leaving Sailor with a PERFECT STRANGER!!! But PRAISE GOD..... HE IS SOOOO GOOD!!!... I went to check on her between Sunday School and Church and she was conked out!!! That was just what I needed to see.... I felt sooo much better after that!! When I went to Pick her up the Lady asked me how old she was and I told her 9 months. She said Sailor really surprised her.... She didn't even think she could sit up..... she set her down and then she started crawling.... a little later she looked at Sailor and saw her pull up on something and said to herself, "She must be older than I thought!!" I told her, "Yep, she's just a little PIP SQUEAK!!" We had such a blast.... Sailor pretty much stayed in Shane's arms the whole weekend.... when she wasn't in mine!! Samantha, Kellie and I went to the town square on Saturday to shop all the little stores there.... it was nice having some girl time. Thank you Jesus for the salvation of my friends!! It's so nice to have Christian friends that share the same beliefs and morals as I do!! It was also fun sharing mommy stories too... lol!!! The Halls were so kind to house Sailor and I for the weekend. Thank you guys so much! I can't wait to visit again!!! Thank you Lord for delivering Cameron to us safely. It's good to have you home Cam!!! WE MISSED YOU!!!

9 Months & Counting
Sailor bug is 9 months old today. I can't believe it. I've had a very emotional past couple of days. Haven's 1st birthday party was today as well. My girls are growing up!! I helped Jenn decorate last night for her party today and the whole time my heart just ached. I couldn't believe Haven's birthday party was already here. Haven is like my second daughter!! It just FREAKS ME OUT that I'm this emotional right now!! I'm am just going to be a WRECK when I have Sailor's party!! I'm am going to need a lot of prayer!!! As most of you probably know from reading my stories in the past... I don't want my baby girl to grow up!!! I love baby-ing her!! If she could just stay this small for a couple of years it would be SUPER!!! But I know it's better than the alternative!! So I'm just trying to take EVERY MOMENT in!!!
Sailor fell asleep on our way to Haven's party today. She slept for about 30 mins after we got there, and then woke up. I knew she was still tired but there was just too much going on. She was okay for just a little while then she started getting really fussy so I made her a bottle. By that time she was screaming at the top of her lungs and there was nothing that Cameron or I could do. Sailor has never cried like this before and no matter what we did she wouldn't calm down. I didn't know what to do. I tried to take her into other rooms but they were all filled with people. Unfortunately we had to leave and take her home. She didn't calm down until I sat on our couch with her and took her clothes off. After that she was fine. There were like 50 people in the house at Haven's party and it was very noisy... so we think that she just got overwhelmed with all the people being around her. I was so sad to see her like that though. She's never cried like that before!!! It was everything I could do to not cry myself while we where rounding up all her things. My heart sank when I had to tell Jennifer that we were going home. I wouldn't get to see Haven tear into her birthday cake or open any of her presents :( But once we got home I was glad that Sailor felt better. I hope that she doesn't get that freaked out at her own birthday party.
To give you a happy ending.... Sailor and I went back over to see Jenn and Haven tonight once everyone left the party. They played together and I got to see all the FUN presents that were opened earlier. The best part was getting to see Haven walk around in the squeaker shoes I got her. SHE LOVED THEM!!! Every time she took a step her little shoes would squeak!!
I'm not sure how much Sailor weighs.... she has a doctor's appt. on Monday. I'm hoping that she will weigh atleast 17 lbs because if she can gain a pound a month from here until her birthday then she can go in a forward facing carseat when she turns one!!! WOOHOO!!! She still is not eating any type of food other than pureed baby food. If you could be in prayer about that we would appreciate it!! I don't feel like she will ever be able to eat anything solid!! She just has the worst gag reflex... and then she throws up!!! And she still doesn't hold her bottle herself (but I secretly like that because I still get to baby her!!) She says Mama, Dada, Baba, Nanana, and her newest letter... T!! She makes the Ta sound!! You go Sailor Bug!! lol She has 4 teeth and one on the way. I love this baby girl. I know I say I don't want her to grow up but I love her more and more each and every day. Her little personality is just so much fun. God has poured out the BIGGEST blessing on Cameron and I!!! Thank you Jesus for this baby girl.
Here are some pics of Sailor today:
