what kohle? what?

nice booty

i forgot to mention that on christmas eve, cousin kohle had scarlet fever. yes, scarlet fever. we didn't believe it was an illness of this day in age either...but apparently it happens when strep throat interacts in a certain way with someones immune system. zoey had a runny nose, has had one since christmas, so we were worried, but thank God none of us got it. kohle was fine after taking antibiotics and benadryl.

new years crept up our behinds quickly and we had planned on staying in for the evening as eric worked all day and zoey was still recovering from totally messed up sleep christmas eve and day...but since i stayed in the house for two days straight, and since zoey took two actual naps for longer than half and hour on that day, we headed to aunty beth's for a short appearance at her annual party. we were going to leave by 8pm but zoey miraculously fell asleep and stayed asleep until 11:45pm when she woke up to watch the ball drop while sitting on cousin kohle's lap. it was nice. we were exhausted. i don't know how we got home...eric drove.

in other news: teeth rule our world. naps are almost non-existant, and she's started refusing the bottle. this sucks as i was just about to start working on my webpage portfolio (for real) a few nights a week while eric acted as bedtime warden. currently she is nursed to sleep, for naps and nighttime. she likes to wake up about 3 times between 7 and 10pm and then goes to bed when we do. she also likes to wake up once more about 1 hour after i fall asleep sometimes. aren't 6 month olds supposed to sleep through the night? hehe. whatever. that's life, i'm used to being tired constantly, but right now my shoulder and neck feel like they're in a vice grip so that's fun.

oh, and she's eating baby food from a jar...pears.
