Showing off my Baby!!

First of all Isabella had her 3 week post op check up for her ears, and the nurse practitioner said that they look great!! She also told me not to stress about getting water in her ears. She said that with her son all she does is fold the ear over and cover it before she pours water over his head in the bath, and the only time she uses ear protection is if they go swimming. She also asked me if she had been more vocal, which she definitely has. She asked if Isabella had started crawling or standing or walking since the surgery, and I never associated her ears with these things, but it makes sense. I am certainly more clumsy when my head is congested.

My Isabella may never crawl, but she is currently pulling up on everything, cruising the coffee table, toybox, etc, and this week she started walking while holding on to fingers. I am so excited to see her do new things. Click here if you want to see my peanut walking!!

Dean! Dean! Dean!

Ok, this scares the crap out of me!!! I am not wishing this on anyone, but boy do I hope that this thing keeps heading in the direction of Texas.

Isabella's New Bows

I just wanted to show off my baby with one of her new bows!!!

My Poor Sick Baby!

Isabella is getting over a stomach virus. I think she is feeling a little better today, but yesterday she still wasn't eating very well. Oh and when we went to the doctor on saturday Isabella weighed in at a petite 21 lbs 5 oz; however, that was with all of her clothes on so I am subtracting half a pound. That still puts her pretty close to 21 lbs. Oh and she may never crawl. Everytime someone gets her on the floor there are about 10 toys around her, so there is always something in her reach. Yesterday she was playing with these stackable cups that you put together and they make balls, and she kept rolling them out of her reach. She really wanted that green one, she got on her hands and knees and stared at it for a minute until the yellow one caught her eye. That one was in her reach, so she chose the yellow.

Isabella's ears seem to be doing well. The pediatrician said that they look great. We go back next week to the ENT for a 3 week check up. I am still working on perfecting washing her hair without getting water in her ears, but I am getting better. She had started to get a little bit of cradle cap and I think it is from me not rinsing the shampoo out of her hair completely. I am doing a much better job now, and cradle cap is gone!! Yay!!!!

Isabella is doing great after her surgery!!

Yesterday Isabella's surgery to get tubes in her ears was scheduled for 7:30am. They didn't take her from us until 7:53am and considering that she hadn't had any food since 7:00pm the night before she was doing great. She didn't cry when the nurse took her from me. We watched them walk away with her, and I started crying. We went to the waiting room, where I cried and paced the floors until the dr came out for us (less than 10 minutes later). He told us about her surgery and then we had to go back and wait for another 10 minutes in the waiting room until she came out of the anesthesia. When we went back to see her she was snuggled up to one of the nurses. I took her and she did start to cry a little when she saw Tony pouring the formula into the bottle, but she must have been so hungry. She quickly took about 5 oz of her bottle, and then we changed her and they let us leave. We were out of there by 9:00 am. I am so relieved that this is over.

Now my newest issue is that she is starting to like table food more and baby food less. I just bought a ton of food and I am determined to use it up!!

Last weekend!!

I know I am a little behind, but it has been a crazy week for me. Last friday Tony and I went to the Tim Mcgraw/Faith Hill concert in Biloxi and it was awesome. Click here if you want to look at the awesome photos and video's that Tony took. Oh and I got to touch Tim Mcgraw (it was awesome). We had a great time!!! Oh, and I wasn't even at the lafayette show, so it wasn't me!
