Sick Kiddo

Poor Maddie got the flu on Tuesday and she did not just get the flu... She got the influenza A AND B. She was such a little trooper even between all the vomiting and diarrhea, she manage to play a bit and smile. She had us worried for a bit but I think she is all better now but we are still keeping a close eye on her. Poor baby was so tired on Thursday and could barely keep her eyes open for more than 10 min . She weighted in at 15 lbs which is really tiny so I need to figure out how to get some lbs in that kid since she barely eats anything.

Hopefully, that thing is gone and never come back here again!

My Little Know it All

Everyday, I ask the kids what they did in school on our way home... Usually Genne has a LOT to say, but Alex in the other hand usually don't really tell me much other than random stuff that he talks about all through out the day.

Today, Genne did not go to school ( she doesn't go on Friday) and when I ask Alex was he did today even tho I know he won't say anything.

Me: Alex, was did you do today?

A: Do you want to play with CN ( cartoon Network)? ( Completely ignoring my question like always)

G: I know what Alex did

Me: How do you know... you were not even there!

G: I know what he did... I know EVERYTHING about school!

Yep that her. She knows everything but have a zillion questions a day  

We Went Camping

In the family room of course. This is our new tradition and the kids LOVE it. We camp on New Year Ave and stay up still midnight, none of them made it that far but Genne only had 30 minutes to go.

In New Year, we decided to start our Haitian tradition and make Soup Joumou and have the kids wear something new... We are hoping to introduce our kiddos to more of my side of the people's traditions.

Happy New Year everyone, and thanks for staying with us and watching our family grow.

7 Months... ALREADY!?

  she is officially a crawler now, can pull herself up to stand.

she LOVES watching her siblings run wild and laughing really loud.

She loves solid and had her 1st tasted of mandarin orange and of courses loved it ( That's mama's girl)

She is still pretty attach to me and always gets super excited when she sees me coming so I can pick her up.

Still sleeping through the night ( thanks goodness because she barely takes a good nap during the day)

She is usually a very happy girl but when she is mad, she is MAD.

Love that little cutie and so happy she choose our family ♥
