Curiosity Killed the Cat...

Abby Grace is really starting to realize that her world is big and full of things, like boxes of Kleenex that are fun to play with. This morning I set her on the counter in her bumbo and the next thing I know she is throwing tissues and playing with my deodorant.  This is all new for me.  I am used to putting her somewhere and not really worrying about her getting into anything around her...so much for that!  I knew it was coming to an end last Saturday when I turned around and she had picked up the Prevacid syringe I left lying in front of her on the exersaucer and proceeded to give it a good gnawing. 
I can't believe how fast she is learning about everything around her!

We had our first trip to the ER this past week.  Last Thursday AG started having a lot of congestion and woke up at 2AM unable to catch her breath and having some stomach problems...we had a lot of these this week...as evidenced by the picture above...at one point I didn't even realize it had happened thanks to my own congestion.  I took her in and of course by the time we got there she was full of smiles and had the hiccups to share with the staff.  The doctor told me what I already knew...she was congested.  Really?  We came home and went to see our friendly doctor on Friday.  The doctor said that we probably had a virus that is going around right now and to just load her up with fluids.  Well, whatever virus it is must be fast moving.  By Saturday me, my mom, both sisters, my dad, and Matt all had it.  We are doing much better now, just a little stuffy still.

See that can of nuts in this one?  Abby Grace has spent a good bit of time conversing with it this week.  I am not sure what it is about it, but every time I put her down in her highchair to wash dishes or cook dinner she automatically looks to the side and starts babbling.  I'm kind of scared to put the thing away for fear she will fuss when I sit her down.

Family...look for photo's in the mail this coming week!
