Viral Diaper

Words cannot describe the stench that just came from a diaper after an illness.  Poor Dani got a virus that fortunately only left her with a runny nose, loss of appetite and 5 days of 104/5 degree fevers.  With that now subsiding, she's slowly eating. I knew the diaper would be bad...but...we had to open windows!!!

Baby Steps

Yesterday and today Dani took tiny little "stumbling" steps without help!

I have officially not pumped for over a week, though I have a bit of discomfort and "knottiness", I'm pretty much empty. BF is over. Sad and happy all at the same time.

Sit and Stand

While Dani has been able to pull herself up and walk holding onto furniture, only lately has she really done so. I suppose walking around the house holding my hands really gave her some more confidence.

Yesterday she used her little push toy to walk around the house, one hand on the toy and one hand holding my hand. Then this morning she was using her bedroom furniture to stand up (the crib, the dresser, the changing table). Then, walking along the furniture she stirred up as much trouble and mess as her little hands could reach. Like I said, she could do this before, she just chose no to do so, but today was game for her...sit, stand up, havoc, sit and start all over! I suspect that after her recent attempts she will required all the confidence she needs to walk. Just amazing!

The little chow hound is really growing. I was cleaning out clothes and came upon her Christmas jammies from last year, they were preemie jammies, and while Dani is small girl, she was super tiny then.
