This sweet girl turned 10 months old yesterday...
And, we think she is too cute!
It's good to see 10 months! Grace celebrated her 9-month birthday in the hospital, so sick we hardly had time to remember that it was her birthday. But, this birthday was a good one! She is working hard to catch up on her crawling and talking, things that she didn't really get a chance to practice for almost a month. She is army crawling faster and faster and getting up on her knees and rocking every now and again. She is vocalizing more and more, and especially likes to say "dada." We are still having to work hard on getting in enough calories every day, and we are hoping this will get easier. She's getting her calories but only because someone is waking up in the middle of the night to feed her (Justin or me). We hope this will end soon!! It is tiring having a "newborn" baby again...especially because she takes up more of our energy during the day than a newborn would. She has an appointment at the Vanderbilt Nutrition Clinic on the 14th, and we are looking forward to getting some more help with all of these persistent issues.
We're glad Grace didn't spend this birthday in this hospital, though she tried! That little stinker...Thursday night, she picked up a cellophane toothpick wrapper off the floor and decided to eat it, which landed us in the ER for about 3 hours. I am not even kidding! It's a long story...we thought she had put something in her mouth but we weren't sure what, looked, did a finger sweep, found nothing -- she just kept coughing and gagging off and on for about an hour, so we thought a professional needed to take a look. They couldn't find anything either and finally decided to send us home because her symptoms seemed to be subsiding. We decided it must have just been something little that worked it's way down. But, as we were waiting for the discharge papers, lo and behold, she spit that wrapper out of her mouth! OH. MY. GOSH. I am getting the feeling that what they say about girls bringing the drama might be true. Grace has certainly brought her fair share of it into this house in her short 10 months!! Needless to say, we are so glad she's ok and that it was nothing worse. And, needless to say, I will be vacuuming much more frequently now.
Can't believe my baby girl will be ONE in two months!!!
