All better now

No more snot! Yeah! Hurray!

Sooo sick

Kevin and I have been so sick this week. Kevin stayed home sick this week and I called in sick for tomorrow. The good news is that Emma is better. It really helps not having to take care of three sick people.

Uh oh... we're sick

Kevin and I woke up this morning not feeling well! We're trying to take care of our sick baby and were both sick! Uggg. Help.

Doctor

I had Kevin take Emma to the doctor today. She is so congested that she can't even breathe while she is eating. I feel so bad for her. I hate it when she is sick. I wish she didn't ever have to get sick. Luckily, the doctor we take her to is a pediatrician I work with. It was so nice. She called me to let me know that she is doing ok. She gave Kevin a medicine to help with her congestion. I hope it helps.

Runny Nose

Emma has a runny nose today. I hope that she isn't getting sick.

All done

We have been teaching Emma sign language. It is sooo cute. Emma signs "all done" when she is done eating! Our baby is so smart. So far we have taught her - more, all done, toy, and hungry. Hungry is a hard one to do, that will probably take a while for her to do. She does "all done" and "toy" really well. She is stubborn about "more" she will only do it for something she really really wants. We're going to start doing -thirsty, cat, bath, and I love you. I can't wait for that last one. This is so much fun to have my 11 mo old to communicate with me.

MOPS

I go to a group called MOPS (Mothers of Pre-Schoolers). It is held at my church and they have people watch the kids while the mom's get together and do a craft, eat breakfast, and listen to a speaker about some interesting topic. Well, today's craft was learning how to knit. I was going to knit Emma a scarf, but then Kevin pointed out that I was going to make something to "tie" around our daughters neck. Then I decided on a hat, well my hat started getting smaller and smaller, so I decided on booties. I think they turned out pretty well, and they fit!!

Cookie Monster!

Emma is such a great eater, is that a word, eater? For the last few months she eats anything and she feeds herself. She loves ravioli and bananas. She will even eat asparagus and lima beans. So far there is nothing she won't eat. Although I hear that might change when she becomes a toddler and realizes she has "the power" to not eat. We'll see. She drinks from her sippy cup all by herself too. It is so amazing. I think she may be allergic to pineapple though. So I have held back giving her anything with that. Otherwise it's been fair game. It really helps save time now that she can feed herself. I can give her food and make dinner for Kevin and I. I can't believe my baby is growing up! Whaaaaa.
