Bouncing and Bubbles




Blair has been loving her bouncer and her bubble baths. Our highlight of the evening is taking a bath. Blair loves to kick and splash while trying to get all the bath toys. The brace has also been going good. We've been trying to get the full 14hours but at best we're at 13. Our next Oakland appointment is in two weeks, we're so anxious and ready to get down there.




We've planted our second round of grass seed, it is so hard to grow a thick lawn. I also planted pumpkin seeds, although I know it is really late in the season. Hopefully we'll have small pumpkins by Halloween, or at least Thanksgiving time. Blair is going to be a ladybug for her first Halloween, I'm going to make her costume.




Our little family went to the Ferndale Fair, this time Blair stayed awake for most of the time. She also rode in the jogger and got to see all the animals and rides. She loved watching the kids on the bungee jumper. I can't believe how fast time has gone by. Blair is growing up and changing everyday, being a stay at home mom is the best, I couldn't ask for more:)

Thought everything was going good...

Tuesday evening Blair was sitting on my leg, thrashing around excited about Josh playing and I heard "CLICK" about 6 times. We've never heard her hips click except the night she was born. Needless to say I got NO sleep that night worrying about Blair's hip coming out of the socket and wondering if that is why her hip is not improving. I called down to Oakland that morning, Dr. Hoffinger is out of town so his nurse called me back. (on a side note I love the way everything is so effecient and fast). His nurse didn't think there was a problem with her hip, and that both of them are almost the same as far as where they are in the socket. Still I can't help but worry. They're going to call me back next Tuesday or Wednesday when Dr. Hoffinger is back. Ugh it's never ending!

Blair finally rolled over!

I knew that some milestones in Blair's life would be delayed because of all the harness/brace time, but I am happy to report she rolls onto her belly almost every morning in her crib! I had quite the surprise when I went to check on her and there she was on her belly looking around. She is also doing very well in her new brace. We're getting 12+hours a night. I'm not sure when we're going to stop co-sleeping, I just don't want to fight it right now, she sleeps, I sleep, end of story. She is also trying alot of new fruits and veggies and LOVES eating with people. I'm also loving all the babbling she's doing...daddada, and abaa seems to be the loudest. We go back to Oakland in a month and a half, I'm sure time will go by real quick.
