First Steps

not feeling so hot

my first steps!

"whoa mommy watch out! This is so fun mommy!"

Ethan came out yesterday and said "i wear a pull up mommy" oh boy we are in for some fun! He had ripped one side and had his whole body through one leg hole.

Well at about a week and a half away from being 10 months old my baby has decided she needs to try out a new way to get around in an upright position. She took a few steps last night while i was at work and tonight took a couple of wobbly concentrated little steps to get her to the chair from the couch tonight so i got the camera and camcorder out to hopefully catch some. Sure enough she decided to take off again, this time to the middle of the floor and took about 6 steps before falling. I'm hoping she doesn't stop the spider crawling real soon, i will miss that!

Her first steps also happened on the day when she is fighting a nasty virus of some kind. Last night i was up about once an hr to the sound of heaving only to find her each time with just a little puke on her blanket and already back to sleep. This morning she slept till 9 and then when she woke up went right back to sleep in my arms. She has vomited up all day today any juice or formula i give her and also has some not so pretty smelling, MESSY diapers! Tonight we fed her a little applesauce and she drank about an ounce of formula and she was acting a little better, and even a little lively so we thought we would make a quick trip to Walmart to pick up a few things off of our list for vacation. We hadn't been there 10 minutes and she hurled about 5 times while i was holding her. Johnny ran and asked for some paper towels and the kid that brought them over to us said "oh my is that all from her??" Yea i pretty much looked like i had poured a couple of glasses of water down my front mixed with a little applesauce of course! We made a quick exit! I went out and got some pedialyte because i called the nurse and they said to only give her that for the next 8 hrs and see if she can hold that down. Hopefully she will!
