No Stitches Thank You!

We were supposed to be having a fun filled day at the zoo with friends when Zach fell off one of the benches after the show. It was the Acrobat show so maybe he wanted to make his own show...who knows. At first we just saw that he bit his lip, but then we saw the nice gash he made into his chin. It was pretty deep so off to the emergency room we went.

He was such a trooper. Didn't cry a ton and was even being silly in the waiting room
The Dr. said he wanted to do stitches. Said it would most likely be around 3...hopefully.

Then we asked if we could do glue instead. Dr. said it would be more of a scar, but it was under his chin so you wouldn't really see it. I think he wanted to not have to do stitches as much as us. Just think about the screaming and the trauma. . . . So glad we could do glue instead. Zach was SO good when they were cleaning him up and applying the glue. (he knew he'd get candy after).

2 months ago I had to take him to urgent care because he fell out of a shopping cart and he got a CAT scan. Now he almost had to have stitches......I don't want this to be a pattern Please!

Santa Barbara Trip

We had a lot of fun on our mini vacation to Santa Barbara in July. We toured the city and saw all the sights. We had fun at the beach, the wharf, the mission, parks, zoo and we even went to the city of Solvang. Solvang is a little "dutch" town with lots of shops and yummy food.

The only thing I wish would have been better on our trip is the weather. It was kinda cold and overcast most of the time.

10 Months Old

Madison is 10 months old today and this is how I like to see her. Sleeping . . . and so peaceful.

My baby girl is growing up so fast. To fast that I forgot to do her 9 month blog. Opppsss. Well over the past 2 months she's done a lot. She's walking around furniture so much better than before. She likes to just stand there without holding onto to anything, so I think she might be walking before 11 months. She now refuses to eat baby food, so it's been a challenge on figuring out what to feed her since she doesn't have any teeth yet. We just dropped her crib down today to the lowest setting since she's standing up in it. She is such a happier baby since she's able to get what she wants, when she wants, now that she crawls like a speed demon. (Zach doesn't like this very much though)

She says Hi and Mama (but only mama when she's mad or sad). Otherwise she jabbers all the time. I think we are going to have another little loud one like Zach.
