Birthday Pics











I'm a horrible blogger!!!!!

I know it's been forever and I'm soooo sorry!!!! Things have just been really busy!

Lets see, I haven't written since June so a lot has happened!

Emma: My beautiful little girl! She turned ONE on 10/31! I can't believe an entire year has gone by already!!! She is pretty much running all over the place now. She is such a happy baby. She LOVES music and can't get enough of it. Almost every toy she has is musical. She is very smart, or at least we think so. If you show her how to do something once or twice she can do it on her own after that, with most things that is. Hopefully this will follow with potty training. Not sure when we will tackle that bridge. Let's see...... she's eating everything in sight these days and really loves everything. Fruit, veggies, she'll eat it all. Except broccoli. She's not a fan of that. On Thanksgiving I gave her some and she spit it out and then rubbed it off her tongue, it was hysterical. She is 100% a daddy's girl, as she should be. He gets home from work and she runs full speed at him like she hasn't seen him in years. It's a beautiful thing! She's saying a lot these days and learning all the time. She truly is the light of our lives!!!

Eric and I: we are doing fine. Same old same old for. us. Eric's currently looking for part time work someplace until summer when he can cut lawns again for some extra cash. I'm still at Unity House, and will be until we move to South Carolina, whenever that may be.........

Maggie: She's 8 months old now and a moose!!!! She's HUGE and needs obedience school. Maybe when the weather gets better we will take her. She's wonderful with Emma and Emma loves her!

Christmas is coming and we aren't doing any gifts this year, just a few for Emma. She really doesn't need anything and we don't have the extra anyways. She got soo much for her birthday we haven't even opened everything yet. I send the duplicate stuff to my parents house. Not that she's there that often but it's nice not to have to travel with toys. The holidays are hard for Eric and I as it's our first ones with out Ron. I try and hold it together but find myself bursting into tears at the oddest moments.

Eric and I have our first New Year's Eve plans in the last 6 years!! We are going to the Crowne Plaza in Albany. They are having a New Years Eve bash for only $209, that includes your room, dinner, a DJ and breakfast. I thought it was a good deal co pared to the other places I called at $500. Drinks aren't included but I'm not a big drinker anyway. So i surprised Eric with that the other day and he's really excited! It should be fun!

We are not preventing another baby. I don't like to say trying because that gets people's hopes us, including mine. It will happen when it's suppose to happen. I will try to keep you posted of that situation....

Well, that's really it..

I will try to blog more often, if anyone even reads this anymore.............................

And Maggie makes four....

Hello Hello!!! It's been very busy in the Rodford household these days. We added a new little girl to our family on 6/6... Her name is Maggie and she is a beautiful 2 month old chocolate lab. Emma just loves her and Maggie is learning the ropes of our house. As far as Emma goes, she is crawling all over the place. She just loves to go! She is attempting to pull herself up on things and this is how we got our first boo boo. She wacked her head off of the hard wood floors trying to pull herself up. Nice bruise, and she's had another since then. We went to Opening Day at the Valley Cats on Friday. She seemed to enjoy it. She slept for about an hour towards the end but woke up in time for the last inning, even though they lost. Eric and I no longer work weekends this summer so we enjoyed our first full weekend together. It was wonderful having full family days! I guess that's it for now. I will post some pics soon.

6 Months!!!

Well, it's very hard for me to believe this but my little peanut is 6 months old already! Where did the time go? At her six month check she is weighing in at 15.05 pounds and she is 25 1/4 inches long. Her doctor says she's a little on the skinny side but nothing to worry about, trust me, this girl eats. We started her on rice cereal and applesauce, which she loved! Then we moved to oatmeal cereal and peaches, again loved it. Today we will do bananas, that's if Eric doesn't get to them first. she's rolling all over the place. Still hasn't sat up on her own yet but she tries. Emma is sleeping from 7-7:30 at night to anywhere from 6-6:30 in the morning. It seems as though the later she goes down at night the earlier she's up. Weird! Anyways, she's wonderful and I"m having so much fun watching her grow and learn.

As for me that's a different story. I spent the entire day yesterday running to different doctors for this ungodly pain in my abdomen. At first the docs thought it was my gall bladder so off to ultrasound I went. Then back to the docs for them to tell me it's not my gall bladder. Then I had to go get a cat scan done. If you've never had one, let me fill you in. You have to drink this disgusting stuff and then wait an hour for it to get into your system. Then they give you and IV of some other stuff and they do the cat scan. so after that I was exhausted and went home. Mind you, the only thing I can put in my body without it hurting is water so I have had nothing to drink. The doctor said it should be a very strong out brake of indigestion but this doesn't seem right. She gave me nexium and hydrocodone to help with the pain. So i took the nexium which did nothing and then I took 2 hyrdo's and was in lala land but the pain was still there. It wasn't coming in the jabs as much but it was still there. The doctor called me back and said that I have a cyst on my ovary which is about the size of a golf ball but that's all that the cat scan revealed. I guess the cyst will burst whenever my left ovary ovulates so it's nothing to worry about. But still nothing as to why I am in this pain. she took me out of work until at least Wednesday, or until the pain is gone. Hopefully it will be gone soon cus this sucks!

I guess that's all for now. I will keep you posted.

Rolling Machine!!!

Well, Emma is now rolling all over. Her sitter said she has done it their but Eric and I had yet to witness her rolling over. Last night we had put her on the floor to play like always and she was trying to get a toy that was just out of reach. We sat and watched her for a minute and before we knew it she was on her belly. She got her toy and rolled back to her back. She is still not a fan of tummy time but is staying on her belly for longer periods of time. Now she just finds it fun I guess. Eric says she's growing up too fast and he can't believe how big she is getting. We go for her 6 month check soon and it's amazing to me that it has been that long since she was born already. Anyways, that's the latest with Emma.
