First Birthday Party!

We celebrated Genevieve's First Birthday on Saturday!

The Birthday Girl

Ready for her party

With Aunt Franny

She Loves balloons!

Trying to steal her Dad's beer

Wearing her Tutu on her head.

She had her own cake.

The kids helping her blow out her candle.

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

YUM!

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
