Staying Alive

The countdown to her birthday begins! Pippa has crammed as many "firsts" as she can into these last few days.

Choke? Check. I did the finger swoop and pulled a freeze dried fruit snack from the back of her throat.

Falling down the stairs? Check. She has a nice knot on her forehead.

First independent steps? Check. She won't walk unless she thinks you are holding on to her.

Choke? Again? Check. I pounded her on the back and a piece of pineapple flew across the room.

Dive headfirst into the swimming pool? Check! Although that was mostly fun.

Horrible allergic reaction complete with facial swelling? Check plus. A dose of benadryl and a long sleep later everything seems fine.

If this list feels incomplete, don't worry! We have 10 days before she turns one, we can cover any firsts we need to in that time.

I'm laughing so hard (out loud) about the pineapple. It's not funny, but the visual it creates is pretty hilarious!
