NOOKColor

I love gadgets! Love them!! We just don't have the funds to buy all the gadgets we want, so we do research. I've been looking at eReaders for a while and have talked with many friends about the pros and cons to the Kindle and the NOOK (original and color). Most people like the NOOKColor a lot more than the other options.

Well, my concern is that there are too many books I would need to purchase rather than borrow or download for free. This would defeat the purpose though because I could just go to the library! However, the only thing I don't like about the library is that I don't have many opportunities to read while Addie is around. We play too much and when she is sleeping, I am cleaning or straightening up or playing on blogger :) So I end up renewing it once or twice in order to finish it. It isn't that big of a deal, but I hate have to have something read by a certain date. That is exactly why I didn't like reading when I was in school!

What are your thoughts?

Ear Infection :(

Adelle wasn't feeling well on Tuesday when Brian picked her up from daycare. They went to see Nana and Papa but Adelle just wasn't herself. During the night, she was coughing, crying, and generally miserable unless we were holding her. She even spiked a fever of 102! We thought she was just teething because she was gnawing at her thumb and fingers, didn't want to eat anything too hard and producing a TON of saliva!! Well, when she decided not to sleep on Wednesday night, we took her to the doctor. He looked in her ears and said she had an ear infection in one and would probably get one in the other.

My poor baby girl!!

We got her the amoxicillin, bubble gum flavored of course, and she ate it like a champ. Within about 30 minutes she was down for the night. She fussed a few times, but she was actually sleeping! Friday morning, before I went to work, I was giving her the amoxicillin again and when we finished, she made the sign for 'more'! ADORABLE!! I told her that she could have more of it that evening, but not right now. She let her hands fall to her sides, started talking and walked away.

She did so well on Friday with Brian that we decided to keep our plans this weekend. Nana and Papa took her last night and will have her until Sunday. This will give Brian and I a chance to clean the house and get some sleep! I am sure we will be able to fit in a date or movie though ;)

I hope this is the last ear infection Adelle gets. It's really tough to stay sane through it because I couldn't take her pain away and she wasn't able to tell me what was wrong. I know that she will probably get another one, or two, or three, but I hope at those times she will be able to tell me about it!!

Get better soon Sweet Girl!

Our Cutie

I just LOVE that Adelle doesn't have to wear her helmet anymore! Look at the adorable pigtails I put her in! Plus, Nonna and Papi gave her pretty flower clips!! Oh my goodness!!!

New Phone

So I got a new phone the other day because I hated my other one and T-Mobile said I could trade it in. I got an amazing new phone that I absolutely LOVE!! I got an LG OptimusT, which means we had to get a data plan too. I really like all of the features, I just wish I was able to download stuff with a gift card (with mac stuff you can just get an iTunes gift card so you don't have to put in your CC information).

It's awesome, I got the wine color and it has a cute little ring. No one really calls me so I don't hear it that often, but it's cute anyway. AND I can take a ton a pictures and videos with it! AND it can upload pictures of Facebook, Blogger, Picasa. AND I can view all of the pictures from the blog and my Picasa account on my phone! How cool is that?!

I love my new phone!!
