He ate WHAT!?!?!?

That's right folks.... Chatham ate his paci, or tried to at least.



So now ALL of the cute green soothies are in the GARBAGE!!! I was sitting on the couch reading "The Kissing Hand" to Chatham and heard him gage- I looked down and his chubby little checks were a bit extra chubby.
I took a deep breath so panic wouldn't set in and pried open his mouth. Something green had filled his mouth and as I reached my finger in to get it out he threw up ALL over me, the couch, and himself.
He had managed to stick the ENTIRE thing in his mouth and there just wasn't enough room for my finger so he choked!

No fear it was removed, we're all clean, and NO MORE PACI'S in the Donley home!!!

Christmas Spirit

I have some how slipped out of the Christmas Spirit- I mentioned this to a friend last week and I recieved this in the mail yesterday (from said friend) and wanted to share it:

As A Baby Jesus Came

As a baby Jesus came
From His home above
He left His throne and who He was
To teach us how to love

As a baby Jesus came
Wrapped in swaddling cloth
Willingly took on humanity
Though He was one with God

As a baby Jesus came
To one day grow to be
The saviour of the human race
People like you and me

As a baby Jesus came
As God’s eternal light
That will never be extinguished
But forever shine out bright

As a baby Jesus came
The hope of eternal life
Reconciling us back to God
Giving meaning to our lives

As a man Jesus died
His blood poured out for all
Cleansing and forgiving us
For to this He was called

We thank Him that He came a babe
And grew to be a man
And for His sacrificial love
His nailed scarred feet and hands

Through it all we can live on
With Jesus Christ our Lord
The babe that came that first Christmas
Is what we thank Him for

DECEMBER.....and.....RSV.....

That's right our trip to the doctor today came to the conclusion that Chatham's "cold" is actually RSV (respiratory syncytial virus). So he is at Gram's for the rest of the day and out of daycare for the rest of th week.
As always, my sick little boy, is VERY bouncy and playful. Other than the wheezing and gunky nose you'd never know anything was wrong.

I hope your December is starting off a bit healthier than ours. I just hope the antibiotics kick this before the weekend- tomorrow is Caden's 1st birthday; so his party is Saturday AND we have rescheduled our family pictures for that morning.

My tummy was FULL!!

I had turkey, black olives, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, green beans out of the green bean casserole, some vanilla ice cream, and a few carrots.

I LOVE THANKSGIVING!!! I can't wait until next year when I have more than two teeth to work with.
