little miss emma beaner

Emma, by no means has enough hair to cut yet, but Auntie Jessie cleaned up her mullet and her sides. Gone is the duck tail. The back is nice and straight!! She's cute as always. Wish it would grow on top now!!

Well, my baby is officially a big girl.
It all happened quite suddenly. Didn't happen when she was weaned off her bottle. Not when she peed for the first time on the toilet or when she's getting rid of her bug (that would be her plug and we're not quite ready to get rid of it just yet)
Tonight, she ppooped in her diaper. Tony got her cleaned up and sent her in to sit on the potty while I took a bath. Recently she's been making grunting noises while sitting on the potty. Many times she'll tinkle. Well, tonight she dropped a few off at the pool!! My baby, er big girl, pooed on the potty!!
She has had several funnies lately. The other day she was sitting in her highchair while I made dinner. She kept pointing at the fridge and saying something. I finally caught on. She was pointing at Baby Olivia's picture, saying Jason Junior!
A few nights ago she was running around the living room with Abby's backpack. Shekept saying it was her "backcack" which we would reply, "no it's mine". Then she busts out, "Emma's backcack, seriously!" I asked her if she was sure and she looked at me and said "definite". Such big words for a little thing.

Miss Emma took a nasty spill tonight. I'm not sure exactly what she tripped on, but she fell and bit her tongue. Tons o' blood. She didn't bleed for that long, but it sure was a lot! When she was done crying, I was finally able to get her to stick her little tongue out. Looked pretty deep. She's a fast healer like daddy, we'll just have to watch it.

We took the girls trick or treating last night. Emma was an elephant. Abby was Halloween Minnie. Emma caught on to the whole trick or treat thing pretty quickly. After the second house, she was walking up to the doors with her bag wide open for "canny". She even went as far as walking up to other trick or treaters with her bag wide open...looking for handouts. She made sure to say bye at every house. Super cute!!

Emma went potty on the toilet again tonight! And we've been laying her in her crib at bed time. She's been playing for a few minutes, conking out and sleeping ALL NIGHT! She's turning into such a big girl!

Abby seems to be feeling a little better. Emma, however has gotten worse. Her snot has turned green, she's hacking up a storm and seems to be especially bothered by her right ear. To make matters worse, we had a horid night. She spent half of it crying unconsolably.
I made another appointment, paid another copay and got a prescription. This doctor, was super nice, pretty much said we should have been given a prescription before so we wouldn't have had to come back in and that Emma's ear has definitely progressed into a bacterial ear infection. She said if she's not feeling better by Monday to bring her back and she'd get her a prescription for something else. Hallelujah! Someone feels my pain! Gotta get these girls in good health for the wedding!

I had the girls to the doctor today. Their both sick and have been for over a week and a half. Turns out they both have a double viral ear infection. The doctor tells me this and then has the nerve to say, "But good news, they don't need antibiotics!" I am supposed to watch them and if anything gets worse, bring them back and pay another copay. Total crap.
