Stomach Bug Blues

Well to say that I am a little behind on posting would be an understatement. But we have been on "vacation" this week and that meant vacation from everything including blogging. But we have all also had a stomach bug the last two days. Let me just say that there is no way to be prepared when you have a six month old that is throwing up! This all began Sunday after church. Sonni pooped literally from head to toe in the car on the way to eat Mexican. Once we were in the restaurant, she threw up all over the table, floor, and menus. (Thankfully Gigi was there to help get everything cleaned up!)At first I was thinking that it was just a fluke, but later that night while eating dinner at Buddie and Big Johns Will and I both began feeling sick, we realized that we all had a touch of a stomach bug. Also let me say that even with a stomach virus, Sonni was still a perfect little angel. She didn't fuss much at all. She would throw up and then start playing again. She did sleep a lot more than normal, but that was welcomed because we all spent the entire day today sleeping. Also what is not easy about being the mom when everyone is sick...is that you still have to take care of everybody else! But both of our parents stepped up to help as usual by watching Sonni and going to the grocery for us and we are so very thankful!! I think Will had it worse than anybody. But we are on the mend now and everyone is feeling a little bit better. Sonni looked so sweet in her church clothes Sunday. I am just glad I was able to get them cleaned up before they got ruined, but I did not get a picture of her!
With that being said, we had a fun time while we were off. Sonni had her six month check-up and shots at the doctor. Her official weight was 17.4 and height was 27 1/4. They said she was as tall as a nine month old, but her weight and head circumference was right on track. Looks like we may have a tall little girl on our hands. The shots were better this time. She did not cry as long afterwards and didn't seem to feel bad either.

On Wednesday after the doctors appointment, we headed down to Sardis to spend some family time and get a few things done. We had to finish underpinning the trailer and get it ready for winter. We enjoyed our time with just the three of us cooking and hanging out.


This dog is way too spoiled!

 These are her fish pj's in true fashion for the lake!!
 Sonni and daddy working!
 Her legs looked so fat in these little leggings! You could see every roll she has!
We headed home Friday because Sonni had pictures on Saturday. These pictures were Buddie's Christmas present and all of her cousins were in it and so were Buddie and Big John. Phil also took a few of Sonni by herself. I think they are all going to be really good. I will post the link when it is available. Here is a sample that I took while they were getting ready.

Saturday night Sonni spent the night with Gigi and Pop and they had a bonfire and dad's family came in from out of town. We went and ate with Joel and Mckenzie and Nora and Drew.

 Sonni ready for the bonfire!
Her TN binky that Gigi got for her Ready for Back in Black!
We were supposed to have pictures last Tuesday with Cristi, but it rained. And we had rescheduled for today...but we were all sick!!! So we have rescheduled pictures AGAIN for Friday. I am so excited to get these family pictures done...Hopefully all will go well and we will be able to get the pictures done. The rest of the week will be spent working and doing clinic. Hopefully everyone will remain healthy the rest of the week!
