Why so quiet?
Lily got a case of the stomach flu. Started on Saturday night, basically disappeared on Sunday… And then struck again Sunday night and all of Monday. Good way to spend a day off, right? I will spare you the details, but it was pretty from either end. MANY loads of laundry + 1 trip to the laundromat.
She slept through the night last night and hasn’t vomited since yesterday, so I think she is doing much better.
Here are some little updates about Lily:
- Words she says: Mama, Dada, Hot, Hat, Shoes, Cheese, Juice, More, Cat, Nigh-Nigh (bedtime)
- What does doggy say? Oof Oof. What does kitty say? MOOOOW. What does elephant say? OOOOOOO (and she moves her arm up like an elephant’s trunk)
- She knows how to find her tummy, nose, eyes, hair, and feet.
- She has performance anxiety when asked to do these things in front of a large group.
- She hasn’t started running yet, but I am sure that is soon to come
- She is teething like crazy (with her back teeth)…. You can only see her front 8 teeth at the moment, but I know those molars will be in any day.
- She knows that “she’s the baby”.
- As of today, we have taken away her bottle. No more bottles. Big girl sippy cups for Lily!
That is what comes to mind at the moment. She has gone from a terrible sleeper as an infant to a pretty good sleeper as a toddler. I can put her down in her crib while she is still awake and as long as she is tired, she will go to sleep on her own. She is sleeping right now, which is why I have time to type.
My new favorite meal? Rice with sliced avocado, a little Sesame Ginger dressing, and an over-easy egg on top. I am obsessed with making and eating this. I have also become obsessed with making fruit smoothies.
Australian Open has started. Tennis is my favorite to watch.
I will think of something interesting to write more on later. I will also find pictures to post.
