One Year Ago Today...

we got our first glimpse of our little one. And now, she's a healthy, happy, rolling, laughing, crying, teething, drooling, raspberrying, beautiful precious little girl. We had her at the doctor for her 4-month check-up 2 weeks ago and she was 12 lbs, 8 ozs and 24.5" long. And even though she's only gained 1 lb since her previous visit, the doctor wasn't concerned because everything looks great and she is far exceeding the milestones.

So it's been awhile since I've written. Let's see... my life revolves around Cady-bug. She is so much fun! She can not be left alone anywhere. And she seems to be able to "crawl" backwards, we just have to work on getting her to go forward. She loves her jumper, which usually ends up soaked from all the drool. About 2 weeks ago, we started her on rice cereal at bedtime. At first, it was the messiest thing ever. But it only took her a few days to get the hang of it. The doctor did say we don't need to rush the foods and when she's consistently taking 32+ oz a day, we can try bananas and applesauce. (Not there yet.)

Um, let's see. She's been sleeping through the night, except the past few nights have been rough. She's been very restless. I did notice a little 'flap' of gum that seems to be where something may be working it's way through so Monster's been getting Tylenol to help with the pain. Poor kid; I know teeth may take some time to get through but I'm hoping for her sake that it comes through quickly. She's definitely more irritable, clingy and drooly than previously.

Now for non-Monster related things. Hmm... we bought Matt a new car. I finally got my digital SLR. Reesey is bad. Nutmeg died :( We got 3 new guinea pigs: Velma, Hestor and Roxanne. I hate germs. My thyroid is controlled on the Levothyroxine 25mcg. I'm scheduled for a thyroid uptake scan (a 2-day test!) in February. From there we decide what to do (biopsy again! or leave it be). I hate thinking about more needles in my neck; it's not pleasant. I'm still undecided on what I want to be when I grow up. My parents had to have Max put to sleep :( and I miss the puppy. He was 15 years old and they had him cremated. And I think that's it. Oh, and Reesey's bad.

Well that's all I got for now. I leave you with a few pictures. Good night!

And few days ago. She can sit up on her own (sometimes).
