Just a quick update on Lily:
She went to the doctor's on Friday, because on Thursday night, during her bath, she consumed three small bath hearts (about the size of a thumbnail and paper thin). That night she woke up with serious vomiting, which persisted ALL night! Needless to say, I called in sick and took her to the doctor office. Before I continue....it turns out the soap was not the culprit....as on Sunday I became violently ill, followed by Michael on Wednesday, and I can assure you that neither of us ate soap of any kind! Lol!
Anyway, we went to the doctor's and she now weighs a whopping 26 lbs! Seriously, she's come a long way from the 4lb 10oz baby she was born into this world as! Also, Lily's Grandma Aucone bought her new shoes on Tuesday, guess what size? 6! A 17-month-old in size 6 shoes! Now, I don't know if this is normal....but considering her foot was the size of my thumb 17 months ago, it seems really amazing!
I'm happy to report that Lily is in great health now and the only form of soap in her tub is Mr. Bubbles. The pic taken on today's update was taken last night when she was in the tub. Her cousin Jerry plays with her, and while these pics were taken, he was hiding in various places and jumping out at her. Needless to say, she was having the time of her life.
For those of you who don't know, Lily is not only a soap-eating monkey, but she's talking up a storm. The latest words: done, Melmo (Elmo, mine (ahhh!), please, more (and she does the sign), Jerry, T.T. (for Tristan), Go-Go (for Fresh Beat Band), baby and tons of other smaller words that she's been saying for months.
On Friday, January 29th, we welcomed Baby Jackson Craig Singleton to the world, our bff's first son. On this day, I realized that Lily isn't the baby she once was. She has grown soooo much & is officially a toddler. It was really fun to have Lily meet Baby Jack...she didn't say much to him there...but talked about baby afterwards for hours. It was interesting holding a newborn & Lily at the same time. It was like a preview of my future, but in that moment, I knew that this will be something that I'll be able to handle.
Anyway, I think I blabbed enough for an update blog......
