Maiya is constipated

Maiya got into the garbage at my cousins. I think she ate some pizza crust. This morning I took her out to go bathroom and she kept trying to go poo and whining and yelping then laying down to pout.. and then trying again. She has a bit of crap sticking out of her but, so I tried wiping it and she yelped and its all stuck in her hair and everything! It stinks so bad. I want to get it out but its almost 7am here and I dont want to wake up the rest. I hope she will be okay!

Edmonton

The first two nights I slept at a campground in St. Albert at the end of my cousins Ralphs street. Tonight I am staying at my cousin Alicias, who has a baby 3 weeks younger than Isaiah. We are going to stay for 3 days till her hubby gets back. My brother and cousin are hired but they have not started work yet, since it is raining here. Hopefully tomorow the weather will be nicer. We went to West Ed twice, I bought a couple La Senza nursing bras, and a shirt, and a cheap dolly stroller so I didnt have to carry Isaiah around the Mall, since I couldnt bring my stroller from home as it would take up half the trunk. Anyway Edmontons good. I will probably be back in the beginning of September.

Smithers Tonite

I am in Smithers for the night visiting with Mats Grandma, and Aunties. His Aunties are 15 & 19. Tomorow morning I leave around 9, and Isaiah has his shots at 3 in Prince George. Then I am going to stay the night at in Valemount since my Uncle has property and a camper out there. Then we will make it too Edmonton the next day. My brother and cousin start work in Edmonton on the 9th at 6AM. I got them jobs making 16 a hour so they would come with me. I cant wait to visit with my favourite cousins, go shopping, to the waterpark & galaxy land. My cousin brought his laptop so I can update. My dad will be in Edmonton next week for my Great Uncles 60th. Thats all for now.

Sad News

Please join me in remembering a great icon of the entertainment community. The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and trauma complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was 71."
Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, the California Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, Captain Crunch and Tony the Tiger.The grave site was piled high with flours.
Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy and lovingly described Doughboy as a man who never knew how much he was kneaded. Doughboy rose quickly in show business, his later life was filled with turnovers. He was not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-baked schemes. Despite being a little flaky at times he still was a crusty old man. He is not considered a positive roll model for millions. Doughboy is survived by his wife Play Dough, two children, John Dough and Jane Dough, plus they had one in the oven. He is also survived by his elderly father, Pop Tart.The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes.If this made you smile for even a brief second, please rise to the occasion and take time to pass it on and share that smile with someone else who may be having a "crumby day and knead it."

Boycot Nestle!

Why?

In order to sell more of its infant formula in third world countries, Nestle would hire women with no special training and dress them up as nurses to give out free samples of Nestle formula. The free samples lasted long enough for the mother's breast milk to dry up from lack of use. Then mothers would be forced to purchase the formula but, being poor, they would often mix the formula with unsanitary water or 'stretch' the amount of formula by diluting it with more water than recommended. The result was that babies starved all over the Third World while Nestle made huge profits from this predatory marketing strategy.

Valemount

I had so much fun in Valemount, other then the first day. I woke up and drank a bottle of water and ate a nectorine. Then I took a nap with Isaiah in the camper because I didnt feel so good. I woke up and ended up puking. I puked up everything I had in me and then I started puking bile. I sat in the car for 4 hours with air conditioning. Then I took some gravel and felt better. I think I got heat stroke. Also one night my Aunts dog wouldnt go inside her tent, and so she stayed outside until we heard her barking constantly. I heard my Aunt get up and start yelling "get the **** out a here." Then one of my cousins came outa the camper and started making funny noises like "ooogga booo ooooooo." There was a wolf I guess and it wasnt very afraid. I had a hard time sleeping because I was soo paranoid that it was gonna come eat my puppy.
The whole time we were there it was inbetween 35 and 38 degrees. It was soo hot. Isaiah couldnt even wear clothes till bedtime. We had a 5 minute sprinkle but that was it.
The other baby below is my cousins baby Willow. She is 3 weeks younger and she has a full head of hair! Shes so cute. When we showed them each other Isaiah kept trying to reach for her, and she tried a couple of times too. It was so adorable.
I really wish I could have stayed 1 more night, because most people showed up the day before we left. But its not all that bad because I am seeing my cousins in a couple weeks when I got to Edmonton, and my Grandpa is staying in Valemount for another 5 days and coming home with my Uncle to visit for 5 days.
My one cousin brought his quad and we went aways up a mountain across the highway. If we had gone another 20 minutes or so up we would have hit snow. It was such a nice view too.

Off to Valemount

I am leaving this morning for a family renioun in Valemount. I went two years ago and it was a great summer. Raging bush fires, yelling for my brother in the middle of the night due to woosyness of getting up to go pee by myself because of bears, one million and one bug bites, homeade poutine and turkey (how many people can say they made that camping!) and much more fun. I even built that outhouse below.. and got blamed for spray painting it when it was my grandmas cousin!

Thank You Bonita Pekaneck Ratchford!

Sleep

Last night me and my mom went for a walk. We walked half of millenium, then crossed the street and went on the trail before lanfear to munroe. When I got home I gave Isaiah a bath and fed him. He fell asleep shortly after which was about 11, and woke up at 7:30! 8 1/2 hours sleep :) I feel so good this morning not having to had get up this morning!

Weekend Getaway

This weekend I went to Prince George with my brother, cousin and son. We camped 20 minutes before out at "gravel pit lake". Today we had prisoners come and clean up around it. The security guard came and warned us to lock our vechile if we were to leave. The reason I wanted to go was to buy a purebread Shih Tzu in Hixon, which is about 40 km past Prince George. She is a girl and her name is Miya and so far she loves cuddling with Isaiah. Camping with a baby wasnt bad at all, other than I didnt have any bug spray and he got bit a couple times. His eye is a little swollen. Other than that I had a great trip!

Teething ?

I am wondering if Isaiah is teething or not. He has been a little bit fussy lately. He will be fussy and I offer him the boob, he will take it for a minute then fuss. I offered him the soother but he wouldnt take that either. I set him down with Mat for a minute so I could get somthing and he started sucking on his little hand and seemed happy doing that. Also this morning I fed and burped him and he was still being fussy and didnt want the soother, but he did want to suck on my finger. I was reading about teething and it says as early as 3 months to as late as 12, somtimes earlier somtimes later. It also said its hereditary, so if a parent teethed early he might to, and Mats mom said he cut his first tooth right before 4 months and started teething at 2. Isaiah is almost 3 months.

Tummy to Back

I put Isaiah on his tummy a couple days ago and he rolled on his own to his back twice! He is also smiling lots and cooing. He is getting to be a big monster.

Now I must have to say the Chariot is my favourite buy of all. I have been debating whether or not to buy one because I will have my license this summer and not sure whether I will do much biking or not so I didnt know if it was worth the money. But I found one and this was very cheap!
