Big Update

The last few days have been tough. I had been starting to feel sick Thursday, just in time for Antonio to leave on ship Friday. The next morning Emily woke up with it too, and we've been battling it for the last couple of days. Saturday was the day we were both feeling the worst I think.
That morning she didn't even make it through Sesame Street. She was just too pooped, poor baby.
But by yesterday we had started to feel a little bit better. And the weather changed too! It was almost 80 degrees outside! I opened the windows to air out the house, and Amy was thrilled.
And since her nose wasn't running too bad, I decided maybe some fresh air would do us some good. So we went out side to play, and she was gone, baby, gone! She was thrilled that I let her crawl to the end of the drive way. Let me tell you, she is fast!
She practiced walking with Mandi for a while! She pushes it out really far in front of her and they has to hurry up and catch up with it. Its pretty funny to watch, but I guess she's always had her own way of doing things.
She had such a good time outside! Today is another beautiful day, and tomorrow is supposed to be too, so if she is feeling up to it we will probably be back out there, even if it is just for a little bit.

Today we was Emily's 12 month check up. She weight 19 pounds 12 ounces and was 28 1/4 inches long. She is in the 25 percentile for both. So she is a tiny kid. But her head is still big! Its in the 90 percentile! Big Meli head! She had to have her hand pricked for the lead test, and didn't even care, until she saw the blood. Then she whined a little bit until they gave her a Bugs Bunny band aid. That kept her very happy. The doctor was very please at how she's doing and we don't have to go back until she is 18 months.

After the doctor left we still had to have shots. The way they do it here is you get the shots and then have to wait 20 minutes for them to check the spots and make sure there are no reactions. What a drama queen! After she got her shots, she cried for the ENTIRE 20 minutes! Seriously. She scared all the other children! One kid said "Mommy, I don't wanna go in anymore" Oh Emily.

I also had a KV meeting yesterday. We found out when Antonio's pre deployment leave is going to be and got more of an idea of when he is going to be leaving on the deployment. I can't believe it is coming around to that time again!

Well that was one big update for you! Got to get things done before Emily wakes up from her nap
