Not sure what this is all about!

The Bearded Baby

12 Month Stats

We had Genevieve's 12 month dr visit the other day. She screamed her head off anytime the dr or nurse was in sight. Dr thinks it's because of her hospital stay :-( Hopefully she gets over it for the next visit in March (I'm hoping we don't have any visits until then).

She's 21.9 pounds, 29 and 1/4 inches, and still has a huge head (19 inches).

And some random pictures from this week

She likes to point at everything

Finally found a pug that likes her

She loves her pony from her god parents

Happy First Birthday!

Genevieve's First Birthday was yesterday. And in even bigger news Brian and I survived our first year as parents!

Here's her 12 Month picture with the bear (which was nearly impossible to get, she was all over the place).

We went to visit Santa in morning. It didn't go so well


Then we visited Brian at work and brought everyone pretzels.

When we got home I guess she was still hungry

In the afternoon we went to Toys R US to get a new toy and then we came home and played.

Then we got ready for bath time

And she had a fun bath time with Daddy.

First Birthday Party!

We celebrated Genevieve's First Birthday on Saturday!

She didn't know what to do with the cake at first. She just started out sucking on it.

YUM!

Hospital

Very tough days. Genevieve was in the hospital Thursday - Sunday. She went to bed fine on Wednesday night and woke up the next morning w/a high fever and lethargic, dr sent us to the ER. Her fever reached as high as 104.6. Very scary. She went through a chest xray, blood tests, urine test, mucus test, and worst of all a spinal tap. All of her tests came back clear. She's still running fevers off an on but she's eating, drinking and acting more normal so we were sent home. Dr felt it was better to have her home instead of keeping her there and risking her catching something else. Here are some pictures.

Wednesday night before bed...

Thursday in the ER. This is pretty much what she did all of Thursday & Friday. The little time she was awake she just laid there.


I think this was on Saturday when she was being a little normal


This was Sunday before we were coming home.

11 Months Old!

In less than one month Genevieve will be one year old. I can't believe it.

Last year right about now I was getting ready to go on maternity leave. Seems like yesterday but at the same time it seems like so long ago.

At her last dr visit for her flu shot, I plopped her on the scale, she was just about 21 pounds. I'm not sure how tall she is but she's looking longer to me lately. We'll see when we go for her ONE YEAR visit.

Here is the 11 month picture with the bear

Incase you forgot here is her first month picture with the bear. Is this really the same baby???

Once again, the bear photo shoot was difficult



She wants what she wants and she wants it NOW.
Here she wants the camera....
