Alli's baptism

Alli was baptized on Sunday. She was a perfect angel (she at least looked the part with her christening gown on). Both sets of grandparents came up for the special occasion, and our good friend Patilee too. While we were in front of the church, she just kept waving to the grandparents and rubbing her shoes together trying to get one off. Too cute! When the pastor sprinkled her, she swatted at her. She wasn't too fond of her head getting wet. We were really worried that she might say one of her 2 new words: "booby" or "burp". No worries though. We all came back to our house for lunch and cake!

Alli then decided she wanted to go home with my parents and spend the night. So, off she went to Columbia. Chris and I were able to clean the house, AND best of all, sleep in yesterday! I was worried my body had forgotten how to sleep in, but luckily it hadn't! Waking up at 9am was awesome! That's the one thing I miss!

Happy Memorial Day! Thanks to all of our solidiers for keeping us safe!

Here are some recent Alli pictures:

The croup...again!

We woke up at 3am yesterday morning to Alli wheezing and stuggling to breath. So, we put her in bed with us, and had the first appointment at the doctor's office yesterday. She apparently had spasmodic croup, which can be brought on by anything. We think her allergies have brought it on this time. So far, 2 doses of steroids down, and you'd never know. She's much better, and slept all night! Yay!
Chris has a week under his belt back at Bank of America. I think he likes it. It's just taking us all time to get used to this new schedule. Alli's used to daddy putting her in the car in the mornings and being home when she gets there to play (me too). Now, it's just mommy until after 6. There's nothing like cooking dinner with a toddler on your hip! I'm sure we'll get used to it!
Sorry, no pics on this entry either...I haven't had time to download pics from the camera yet. Maybe this weekend after all of the cakes.
I took on 3 cakes this weekend...what was I thinking?
By the way, I had a wonderful 2nd Mother's Day thanks to my hunny and Alli. Breakfast was yummy and I'm enjoying my new Sperrys very much!

Tummy bug & BoA

Alli went to stay at my parent's Sat.-Sun., so Chris and I got to have a date night! The first one in a long time. We did some yard work, went to a nice dinner at Sassafras in downtown G-ville, and were able to sleep as long as we wanted on Sunday...hooray for sleep! Sassafras was pretty tasty too. We recommend the pork tenderloin appetizer!
Unfortunately, Alli has not been feeling her usual chipper self this week. She's had some sort of stomach bug...fun times! I think she's starting to get back to normal. I do have to say I did enjoy her cuddling up in my lap and reading books with me the past couple of days. Normally, she's so busy, she'll only sit for a minute! Luckily, neither Chris nor I have gotten it yet. We have Lysol-d and wiped the whole house down. Hopefully, we won't! There's nothing worse than a stomach bug.
Good news at the Sielicki house...Chris is going back to work with Bank of America starting Monday! Hooray! Patience has paid off, and we all know that's not my best virtue! Thanks for all of your prayers.
The cake business is steady. I pretty much have 1 cake per weekend, which is plenty for me right now. With working full time, being a wife and mom full time, that's about all of the time I have for it. Next weekend, I have accepted 2 cakes, so we'll see how that goes! You can check out the other blog to see photos anytime!
