1/2 year birthday (6 months) today!!

Miss Greta is 6 months old today. We are expecting 6 to 11 inches of snow today and tonight. Currently, we are least 6 inches and snowing hard. Ah, Springtime in Bozeman. We haven't had a really snowy spring for a few years so I suppose we are due. Our beloved Bobcat Football team had to cancel another scrimmage due to the crazy weather.

We are all feeling much better. Finally, our family is healthy and happy. Unfortunately, Greta forgot about how great a sleeper she was. We are moving her to bedroom soon as she is outgrowing her basinett. Another big milestone that her parents are not quite ready for. But, as with most things, we will all be fine.

G is growing and maturing quickly. All of her friends, who are months younger are leaving her behind in weight. She is lean and tall and obviously takes after her Mom. Kristi weighed Greta yesterday and she came in at a whopping 14 1/2 pounds! We have her 6 month appointment on Thursday and we will get the official numbers.

You want me to eat WHAT?

Shot of the snow outside on G's 6 month B-Day. Yuck! There is a time

and place for snow.....and this is neither!

Thanks to Jodi and Shelby for making the trip out East to see G. They surprised us all last Sunday at the Grovers and then they came to Bozo on Monday. Shelby was looking for some new wheels and I think Jody found some for herself. Better luck next time Shelbs.

March Madness weekend.

Fred and Angie spent the week with us to help out with G for Kristi's dental appointment. Kristi ended up not having to go since she has been sick. I think she was hoping to have it out of the way but was not heart broken to postpone it either. We came over to Grover's yesterday to check out their new "remodel". It looks great. The snow is melting and we are starting to look like Spring. Fred and Angie are heading home to Washington soon and life will return to normal for us all.

Tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day.

The whole family has been sick....twice. It is currently my turn with Greta and Kristi on the mend. The sleeping through the night we were so proud of has been non existent for the last 2 weeks. Greta caught RSV which is a virus very common in kids. For babies less than 6 months, it sometimes requires hospitalization. Luckily, G caught at about 5 months and 1 week. She has been coughing with a fever, runny nose and some other unmentionables. She no longer cares for her changing table since we changed the name to "the torture chamber". We hit her with the sucking bulb, the inhaler (smotherer) and any other device that "helps" her feel better. Hopefully, her memory isn't quite there yet or she will never forgive us! Her bite mark is slowly fading.

Greta sitting for the first time...sweet!

Happy kid...you can't beat that smile out of her. (kidding, geez!)

G doing her new sit trick, never gets old.

Greta with her Mom. Cute couple if I don't say so myself.

G peeking over the couch. Anyone know the crazy lady looking at her?

Grandpa Fred coming to visit to help out while Kristi gets her wisdom teeth pulled. Hopefully, she has some wisdom left afterward.

G and Grandma Angie. She looks a lot like the crazy lady.

g girl's first battle wounds

Today was interesting to say the least. It's Mom and G's Friday, yeah (I only work Monday thru Wednesday) so it should be smooth sailing into the weekend for us. I usually go see Greta on my lunch hour and today was no different. Right after I got back to work, the daycare called me and informed me that Greta was bit by one of the other kids (15 month old) and really hadn't stopped crying for 10 minutes. Apparently, no skin was punctured ,just a big welt and bruise. I went down to see her and she definately had a battle wound, but was fine and sleeping. Poor thing, it just better be the last time that kid bites mine!

Super G is preparing for American Idol 2028. Watch out Simon Cowell!

Enjoying a beautiful day in Bozeman. Don't let the white stuff fool you, it was about 56 degrees outside.
Dad and Super G Squeaky clean G!

G and Mom....pre-bite.

Ouch...

4 teeth (the biter, not the bitee)

Daycare is tough business. She might have to start "packing" to protect herself.
