OCTOBER 21 | PHOTO-A-DAY

Friday was a pretty relaxed day for us.  Besides the filling that I had done at 7:30 am.  Yuck.  Oh and have I mentioned that on Monday of this week I developed an allergic reaction to something and my eyes puffed up to the size of golf balls.  It was horrible.  At times I could barely open my eyes they were so swollen.  It was like that for about 3 days!  Thankfully on Wednesday I started to see improvement and on Thursday evening I was back to normal.  But then met Friday morning with the dentist appt.  So after the numbness wore off I finally felt like myself for the first time all week and we just hung out.  Did a few errands in the afternoon and started dinner at a decent hour.

For awhile we’ve been trying to teach Amity how to use a sippy cup.  I’ve tried several different brands/styles but nothing seems to really stick with her.  My sister-in-law gave me a great tip of holding her elbows up but even that hasn’t seemed to “click.”  On Thursday Greg announced, “I’ll teach her how to drink out of one of our water bottles tonight.”  And sure enough, it took about 1 min and she got it.  She loves it and tanks water from this!  Maybe that is why the past two nights she has started waking at 4am with soaked pajamas…Anyhow, I see us getting her several mini ones she can call her own : )  Here she is, showing off her new trick.
