The Pull-Up

It's official, we have an 8 month old who knows how to pull up on things! And it happened for the first time tonight in the bathtub of all places. I watched her reach over the edge of the bathtub and muscle her way unto her feet. I'm sure that I will soon regret allowing her to have such free exploration in the tub. Once she figured this all out, she wanted nothing to do with her bath toys. Oh boy...here we go!

Staff picnic

Amelia with my director, Tonja, and one of her twin girls

This past weekend, we went to a staff picnic. It included all of the pediatric units, PEDS, PASU, and PICU. There was a pretty good turn out...we were expecting much less. It was a good time though.

The Mesh Sucky Thing

This teether has been such a life saver!!! I have been putting frozen cantalope in it...much easier to clean afterwards than banana. I can hear her sucking on that thing from across the room. In the top picture, you can see her tooth coming in. The second one is close behind.

Isn't She Lovely

"I'm so cute, it's CRAZY!"

"Scooter Poop"

This is her new trick, and she is so very proud of it. Come diaper changing time, she immediately flips over to her belly and grabs everything in sight. Really, everything (even the old diaper). Gross!! Well, she is very happy about this new trick, but it makes it very difficult to change her.

And, finally, Amelia is cutting her first tooth (teeth, actually). Her two bottom teeth are coming in simultaneously...Ouch! I can tell that she is in lots of pain, and it is hard to know what to do. She also is not yet crawling, but she is working on it. Getting around in the walker is what she does best. She runs across the room with her arms flying in the air and her knees wobbling all over the place. She chases Sipsey around, while Sipsey just does her best to avoid her all together. She clips our ankles and runs into our toes. Who needs to crawl when you can scoot around in a walker? We call her "Scooter Poop".

Wedding Weekend

Wedding Day!!!

This past weekend, I travelled out to Pagosa Springs, Colorado to be there for my friend Allison's wedding. The entire weekend was so wonderful! Allison looked fabulous, and the ceremony was beautiful (not a drop of rain in sight). Allison and I had not seen each other in over two years, so, we had a blast catching up. There is definitely something to be said about missing two years of a friends life, and picking right back up where you left off.
