On The Go

Among the piles of fun stuff G received for her first birthday was a proper push toy from Melissa & Shawn. No more laundry basket for this fancy girl! Genevieve loves it and has been motoring her away back and forth from the living room to the kitchen, making pit stops in the guest bedroom to dig through my purse and her diaper bag. As an aside, she's showing an early fondness for lipstick.

After I picked her up at daycare yesterday I decided to take her outside to give the new ride a spin. It was pretty brisk but she had a ball.


Out of my way, mother!


Let's see what this baby does off-roading

I love to play outside!



In other news, we have scheduled Genevieve to get tubes on October 20th. She's on the tail end of her fifth ear infection in the last six months, and as our pediatrician put it, we haven't even hit winter yet. The procedure takes about ten minutes, and although she'll be under general anesthesia they won't even put a breathing tube in. Our ENT specialist said that it takes one good nap to get the anesthesia out of their system and that she'll be ready to go the next day. So boo for surgery but yay for the hope that they take and Genevieve doesn't have to deal with the pain of ear infections anymore (or the other lovely side effects of chronic ear infections, such as loss of hearing or the expense of gallons of antibiotics). Here's to ears!

Last but not least, we are so excited to add another baby to our friends-family! Addison Karen was born on September 26. Mom, dad, and big brother Ethan are all doing well and we cannot wait to meet the adorable addition - way to go, Harms' family!

Ms. Genevieve is walking...what a big girl! I am sorry to hear about the tubes, but hopefully that means no future ear infections. So, me and Anthony were trying to figure out what it is that she is pushing exactly...a toy lawn mower, a toy cart, and in the end Anthony declared, I think it is just a big pink thing on wheels. Looks like fun to me.

She is adorable, and clearly a multi-tasker! Push the toy...check. Spin the wheel on the toy...check. Make adorable noises with my mouth WHILE pushing...check. Love it:-)
