Daily Spill

Emmy is a steady walker considering she only took her first steps a little over a month ago. However, she has become completely over confident and is pretty much taking a good bruise-creating fall a day. She tries to run away from us, walks way too quickly and looks over her shoulder as she walks away. All recipe for disaster. Her first big fall was at daycare. You all saw the scrapes on her face during her b-day party. Last weekend she fell while holding onto a golf ball. So, pretty much it was as if we threw one at her head. Her forehead turned blue and swelled up like an egg almost immediately. It was pretty scary. Fortunately the bruise is almost gone only to be replaced by a new one. Today she fell into the corner of the coffee table. Lovely.

Yesterday was her 12 month appt and it was a complete and utter nightmare. First of all who makes an appt at 4p on a Friday?! The poor kid has been really sick all week with a horrible cough and snot like I've never seen before. I mean I was literally sucking it out every hour. While waiting over a 1/2 to even get called from the waiting room I let her roam the halls outside the office. Bad idea. She took a nose dive right before we were called she had a bloody, swollen nose before we even saw the doctor. She is so beat up we must look questionable. Obviously the doctor says it is normal but seriously these daily spills are getting ridiculous!

So, she is 19lbs, 4oz, and 29 inches tall. She is definitely slimming down because she NEVER STOPS WALKING. I guess wasn't quite ready for her BMW car seat - oops. We had to delay most of the 12 month shots because she was so sick but had to do some blood test that required the nurse to squeeze a vile worth of blood from her finger. It takes over 5 minutes for both Josh and I to pin her down to cut just one finger nail so you can imagine the screams that were coming from our room....

We're supposed to get rain all weekend so we'll be inside the next few days to hopefully let Emmy get better and to stay dry. She is so stimulated at daycare now she seems bored at home. I headed over to Michaels this morning to get some "activities" to keep us all occupied. Stay tuned for some interesting pics :)
