Not-so-manic Monday

I am home sick today. Actually I've been sick since Friday evening but today is the first day I'm able to eat and function. I kept Betsy home with me since I no longer have a fever and we're making up for spending most of the weekend apart. Ben took on most of the parenting duties this weekend since I was out of commission. I went to the doctor this morning (I really don't like going to the doctor so you know it was serious) and I'm having a few test run to make sure everything is OK. I suspect I've just been more susceptible to getting sick since Betsy arrived with getting less sleep and less down time.

Anywho, here are a few pictures of the sweet girl today!

A very common sight in our house, Betsy throws her head back when she laughs (or cries). I prefer the former to the latter.


Look at her multi-tasking. Her new favorite thing is standing between the two activity tables and playing with both at once.

Betsy has really come to love her baby doll.

While I really, REALLY don't want Betsy to get hooked on TV I did decide to move a TV from my sewing room into her play room. She doesn't watch it so much as she listens to the sing along DVDs while she plays with her toys. It's an itty bitty TV, does that make it less bad ;)?

Outside view of the playroom. I moved the gate inside the room so I could put a TV and DVD player inside. It's nice, the Laurie Berkner Band CD and Barney and Friends provide nice background music for Bets while she's playing.

And of course, Betsy's a happy girl on sweet potato night.
