Mama!!

She FINALLY said Mama! I'm a week late, as she said it on Jan 6, but I had to make sure I recorded it somewhere. We were downstairs at breakfast time, I was getting her lunch ready for daycare & she was in her highchair and she just blurted out the sweetest sound ever...mama. I ran over to her and kissed her, said yes baby, I'm mama! And maybe I cried a little. It was perfect. And she's getting better and better at it, directing it at me, calling for me.... How did C not melt & gloat all this time that she's been saying Dada?! Little things like this make everything else worth it!

Oops! Happy Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Year!

I guess I kind of forgot about blogging for the past 2 months or so... We got through the drama of Thanksgiving & Christmas just fine... though someone in our house has been sick every day ever since A's birthday and we're all just ready to be healthy. New Years was pretty low key, too.

A gets more and more grown up each day - hugging us, giving open mouth kisses, reaching up, saying Da Da loudly, again and again... continuing to say Jethro & bottle... eating more and more, off of formula and only on 1 bottle of milk at night before bed (can't wait to be done with those!), sleeping a little better when she's not too sick, walking faster and faster, crawling less and less, getting more teeth (I think 6 are coming in right now - it's awful! poor thing!) and just growing up too fast for her Mommy.

She has a double ear infection, only her second infection since the tubes -- and the first was a very minor one in only one ear. This one is pretty bad - lots of puss out of both ears, and a good amount of blood coming from the left ear. We have her on drops, and made an appointment for next week for her to see the ENT to make sure everything's in place and there's no damage. I do worry about hearing loss with all of her infections, esp with how bad this one is, but hopefully she'll be just fine.

She'll be my sister's flower girl next month, and I can't wait to walk down the aisle holding her hand. How cute will that be?!

Anyway. I will try to update more often with cute stuff she does, and maybe even NON baby related posts!
