Pumpkins!!

Today we went to Allen's Pumpkins and got our pumpkins for Halloween.  Lilly helped to pick out the best pumpkins on the lot!  When we got home she helped to clean them out and then carve them.  She was covered in pumpkin slime by the time all was said and done.

So you had a bad day...

Yesterday she was cruising around our coffee table and her foot slipped out from under her. As she was falling she hit her mouth on the table. She SCREAMED!! And while she was screaming I saw that she had a bloody mouth. I checked all of her teeth and they all seem intact and none are loose, that I can see. About two minutes later she was fine. She stopped screaming and bleeding and was playing.

Shortly after that she was eating a cracker (from a bag that she spilled all over the floor and proceeded to crawl on) and she started to choke. I got the cracker out her mouth and cleaned up the floor. Somehow she found a piece of cracker and started to choke on that as well. She is fine.

Then she was pulling herself up on her Yaya's walker and her foot slipped out from under her and she bonked her head again.

Yesterday was not this kid's day!!

gDiapers

We hav decided to go green(er)!! We are starting to use gDiapers, or at least checking them out. They are a really cool. After Lilly uses them the liners are flushed and can be used as compost. If we choose to throw them away, that's okay too because they decompose in 50-150 days!! They are kind of like a cloth diaper. The covers are cool and cute!! I have never been so excited about changing diapers!!

Update on the Sick Binks

Lilly is still running a fever and has horrible congestion. But she seems to be perking up a little bit. We are skipping swimming tonight because of the ears, but hopefully should be up an running in a couple of days. She is having trouble sleeping at night because of ear pain and her nose. She is also having trouble sucking from a bottle, but lucky for us she is drinking from a cup. I'll keep everyone updated!

Sick Baby

Lilly and I are both sick!! We just found out that Lilly has an ear infection and a cold. Poor kid slept about 3 hours last night before her ear kept her up, which means that mommy got about 1 hour before the screaming began.

Swimming Lessons

Yesterday Lilly started swimming lessons. We are doing a mommy and me swim class on Tuesdays and Thursdays. She was dunked underwater last night and did not seem to mind. I think I have a little fish on my hands. I will post pictures when I get them!!
