There is so much I want to write but I don't know if my little fingers will type fast enough for me to remember what I wanted to cover! I was going to post a Father's day update, but of course our little Elizabeth decided to get sick and so Father's day was a little sad. Then the following week was crazy so here it all is!
Greg decided to have everyone over for Father's day and we were just going to do something small and hang out. Around 11am, Elizabeth went down for a nap and Daddy also went down for a nap. About 30 or so minutes later, she woke up screaming. This is not like her at all because she normally wakes up happy and ready to continue playing. I was trying not to wake Greg up but I could not get her to calm down. It took everything we had to try to satisfy her because nothing was doing it for her. She wasn't running a temperature and I couldn't see anything wrong with her and she was fine that morning before her nap. The crying lasted on and off all afternoon which stressed us out on top of having everyone over for dinner. She just seemed like she was in pain but we couldn't do anything for her. We got her to bed and everyone left that Sunday evening. Monday morning she woke up and she seemed to be doing better and there was still no temperature so I decided to go to work and take her to daycare. I was at work for probably two hours and the daycare called and said that she was being really fussy and nothing seemed to make it better. I called the doctor's office and got in the car to go get her. Our doctor was out of the office but we saw another and she said that she had a double ear infection and one of her ear drums looks like it ruptured. No wonder she was in such pain! I can't really complain too much because she has been doing really good with not getting sick and this was only her second time to have an ear infection. We got put on some medicine and ear drops and I think we may be getting better but I think I am going to have her checked out one more time just to make sure everything healed up correctly.
So since I missed work on Monday, I was playing catch up on Tuesday with a very busy day plus the fact that Greg was not home when we got home on Tuesday night we began the long, exhausting week. Wednesday was kind of fun because our work gave us a "day out on them" which included a Astros ticket for the 1pm game and $15 voucher for food and drink while were there. Oh did I mention they even paid for our parking! It was nice to have a "free" day off but of course I started feeling not so good that evening when I got home. Thursday morning I woke up and was physically exhausted and couldn't talk and could barely breath! It seems like everytime Elizabeth gets sick, I am right behind her. I stayed home on Thursday because I thought it would really make me feel better to sleep and get some rest. I slept most of the day and I was feeling a little better. I am still not 100% (which means I probably should have gone to the doctor) but it is slowly making its course. I have a feeling Greg will be next because he was complaining this morning!
So then the weekend came! YEAH! Saturday Elizabeth and I went to a baby shower in Victoria and I loved seeing all my old work peeps. It was fun to see Monica pregnant and I know she will be a great mom to Sawyer. We can't wait to meet him! Then we made the long trek back to Rosenberg and decided to go hang out in Cypress with Brian's family (Greg's cousin). That was also fun to see Elizabeth trying to keep up with the boys... silly girl and Miss Brooklyn was so much fun too! She was laughing at everything and I can't remember Elizabeth doing that. But, Miss Elizabeth decided to surprise us all and take off walking... well, she decided to take three steps and then fall down and think it was funny. We were sitting on the floor and she was holding on to Raelyn's foot with one hand then she just took off for the night stand. Everyone in the room went "ohhh" at the same time! She has been trying had ever since.
She has been pulling up and walking with her toys and anything that will move for a long time now but I just was not expecting her to take them steps. She is one brave girl. Now she will walk between her toys in the living room which scares me but I know it is just her way of learning. She has great balance and if she doesn't get too excited in the middle, she can make it too. I have now been walking with her around the house and she will only hold one of my hands while I walk... one day I am just going to let go and see if she notices I am not there! :)
Oh yeah, I almost forgot to mention how great she is doing with eating table food! We have been trying here and there to give her little things she could eat and she will take a couple of bites and not want anything else. For the last four weeks or so we have been giving her puffs and rice rusks and she loves those... she now knows what that sound is if you shake them up for her, she gets all excited. She has been feeding herself these puffs and rice rusks and she is doing so great. Her coordination is great! Friday night we gave her some cut up french fries and egg yolk... not a great combination but that was all she could have between all our plates! Sunday morning Greg and I went to eat at Bob's Taco Stand (the best place in Rosenberg to eat if you have never been there) for breakfast and Elizabeth had her some eggs, beans, and potatoes. Yep, it was great to see her eat so good. I have only been doing this on the weekends but I guess I am going to have to try things during the week so we can get away from the baby food! YEAH! I even talked to the school and she can start having the soft foods they serve there, DOUBLE YEAH!
So, as we inch closer to 9 months, I am sure she will be eating big girl food and walking soon... we just have to work on the talking now! :) Any suggestions!?!
