I know- quite the confession for a blog- but its true. He is the most amazing man...for real. I am so excited to get to have him fix my completely disastrous body! No no, I am not in love with him in an oh i want to marry you sort of way (though Im sure he would always be up for backrubs...hmmm...on second thought...) He could tell everything that was wrong with me, where i hurt, where i didnt, what my personality was like...that im moody everything all from gently touching my muscles. And insurance covers this??? FANTASTIC. i am excited to start feeling better. Twice a week for the rest of the year may get overwhelming but hey, if he can fix me...ill show up.
Vaughn-elise...my sweet nine month old. It amazes me how she changes daily. Her three teeth, trying to walk, she is so attentive and really getting into books. She says MAMA NOW!!!! What was i worried about? A little practice and hearing it a million times a day did the trick! What a proud mama i am!!!!
Last night at the dinner table we were debating what she is and is not old enough to try to eat. She has this choking problem....like something in her airway doesnt close correctly or something and several times a day she chokes. Usually she is fine and can get it out on her own but i have several times had to turn her upside down and gently hit her back to get it out...we've even had to stick fingers in her mouth to fetch it out. Part of this is her finding everything to put in her mouth....if there is nothing on the floor she will pull carpet out of the floor and put it in her mouth. Not joking at all there! Anyways, the point of that is that i have struggled with what to give her. She eats puffs and some of the gerber snacks...bitter biscuits...nutrigrain bar things and does fine. Ocassionally she will choke some but usually she does great...
SO, i decided to try the gerber transition foods. I bought some of those nasty turkey wieners and some diced peaches, apples, pears etc. I tried them tonight and aside from gagging on the taste of the weiners, she did great. She was hillarious. She would smell the spoon with the diced wiener on it and then stick her tongue out and start gagging. she is so dramatic...she rolls her eyes back and sticks her tongue out and she did that the whole time she was eating them....but then she'd act like she wanted more. She only ate one wiener and kept it down all night. She loved the apples- though they were a little slippery and kept shooting from the back of her gum to the front lip and then she'd throw her hands up to catch it....
Oh, she's a riot.
