Trip to the Park!

Sorry I haven't made an entry in a couple of weeks, things have been busy! This past week Danica had some really rough days, Kelly and I were attributing them to teeth. Danica's top teeth have been working on coming in and it seemed the right one was being a bit more stubborn than the left, however, come Friday I was convinced that it was not her teeth and that something else was causing her irritability and lack of sleep. So, we got the last appointment of the day at Dr. John's and he quickly confirmed an ear infection in her left ear. We stopped in at Target and started her on an antibiotic ASAP. We are happy to report her sleeping is much better, not perfect, but better. Now we just are dealing with a few fussy moments and some slimy snot : )

Today we took a trip to the park in town and Danica experienced the swings and slide, she had a great time! We had been once before when we were out for a walk, but this time Daddy and cousin Ethan were along so it was alot more fun!

Happy Easter!

What a day! We were up and ready to rip at 7:30 a.m., made pink confetti pancakes in honor of Easter morning and then checked out our Easter basket, thanks Grammy and PaPa for the sweet basket! Danica got some pretty cools stuff from the family and from the bunny himself. Thank you everyone for making her first Easter so much fun! After breakfast and baskets it was an attempt at a little snooze before church, didn't happen, but it was attempted. After church, which was a great service on prayer (I needed that one, I was just quizzing my bible study group about prayer) it was home to finishing preparing lunch for Grammy, Papa and Mer Mer. That was tough, can I just tell you, first I forgot to put the ham in the oven, then I didn't put the coffee in the coffee pot so I brewed a nice pot of water, and who needs to plug in the crock pot to make your potatoes cook? I am blaming it on having a child, isn't there something called "mommy brain?"

Late in the afternoon, Blythe, Brian, Madelynn and Mallory stopped by for a quick visit on their way back to Columbia, always great to see them and they brought the best Spring book and shirt for Miss Danica too! Spoiled.....

After everyones departure, we played around a bit, ate some supper and then the Whitt's stopped by with a giant bouncy ball for Danica. She loves to play "catch" so that of course was a hit! Then it was time for bath and bed....what a day....we were blessed for sure! Happy Easter everyone and may you truly remember the reason for the season!

T Minus 2 months....

and counting. That's right Danica is 10 months old today, only 2 months until her first birthday! Now that is hard to believe.

She is working on getting both of her top teeth, one you can see just breaking the gums, so as you can imagine we have had our fair share of fussy moments. She is trying new foods each and everyday and even doing some spoon feeding herself and drinking more out of a cup and less out of a bottle.

Danica and I made a trip to St. Joe yesterday to visit our friend Mitzi, who just welcomed her third son, Graham Patrick. Danica got a good chance to play with the two oldest Colin and Carter. Graham is a doll and everyone is getting along great. After we got home from St. Joe, Danica went to play at the Whitt's and mommy and daddy headed to the annual golf course meeting. Danica had a great time and was wound for sound when we got home, but Daddy's magic touch got her to bed.

On Friday, Grammy and Mommy took Danica to get her picture taken with real bunnies. She was awesome! She giggled (belly laughed as Grammy calls it) and carried on with the bunnies and was gentle--turns out I didn't have anything to worry about. She was a hoot and Jessi and Scott and Jesscott's were thrilled with how well she did.
