My First Trip to the Emergency Room

Ok, here's the story. I got sick. That's right, not the little baby spit up kind, but the big girl heaving kind. It was just me and mommy (around 6:30 pm) and she froze, so I had no choice but to puke all over her and the carpet (unfortunately we were in my room). We got all cleaned up and calmed down (thanks to our neighbor Amanda for coming over and helping) and I was a happy camper, crawling and laughing like normal so mom thought it would be okay to give me my bedtime bottle. Guess what happened next? Yup, out it came (and then some) all over mommy (again) and her bed. I know you're wondering why didn't she run to the bathroom or grab something for me to puke in? Please, cut her a little slack, it was her first experience with her baby barfing. Then daddy came home, mom told him but I don't think he quite got it. So I went to bed and the dry heaves began. Daddy freaked! We called the on call doctor (didn't call back) and we called Grandma Mary (she rushed right over). I was still heaving so off we go to the ER (9:30pm).

Well they don't mess around when it comes to babies, so they put in an IV and took blood. In the end momma says it was the most expensive bottle of Pedilyte ever. So after the magic of some anti nausea medicine and Pedilyte we were sent home (2:00 am).

So we are home today resting and snuggling.

Please keep in your prayers the little babies in the ER with me last night that didn't have such an easy recovery/solution. There was a little baby there who was going to Heaven...

Lots of love, and promises to stay away from the germies better! I'm still blaming mommy's fifth graders.

Love,

MaryAnna Mae

Funny Face
I'm gonna climb out.

Daddy calls this the shallow end. I'm allowed to play in this end.

Rubber duckies, I'm awfully fond of you!

I hope you get to enjoy a soak in the tub like I do. It's very fun and I sleep like a baby afterward.

Love, MaryAnna Mae

My first time to the Everett Children's Museum

I'm driving a bus just like my Poppa. I'm telling the people on the bus to "move on back, move on back"... By the look on my face, I don't have the patience to be a bus driver.

Love,

My first time to the public library.

Look at all the books I picked.
Look at me go!

This place is great. However, Daddy won't let me chew on any of these ones. He says "germs" but that's okay, books are fun even if you can't stick them in your mouth.

Mommy wants me to remind you...read, read, read.

Love,

MaryAnna Mae

Voting in My First Presidential Election

Yup. I did it. I voted. I know so because they (the nice ladies that volunteer - Mommy says when she get's older she's going to be one) gave me a sticker that says so. Mommy says that only in 2008 in the US would we be dropping our ballots off at a Starbucks and not a sterile cold gymnasium at some ancient school. Anyway, I do not have to tell you who I voted for because it's only my business and I can vote for whomever I want (Mommy says that's my right and people worked really hard for me to have that right), but being that Abby Cadabby wasn't on the ticket (this year), I had to vote for my second choice and I'll give you this hint - I am a VERY HAPPY GIRL TODAY!!! WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD I GET TO LIVE IN. I think I was born at just the right time. Oh, happy day.

Love, MaryAnna Mae

My New Prison

Please release me.

I promise I won't eat the dog food or try to swim in her water bowl again.

I PROMISE!

Somebody help!!!

Mommy's School's Harvest Party

I went to my Mommy's School's Harvest Party. It seemed like fun, but I wasn't too sure. Lucky (our doggy) told me about a time that mommy put her in a bunny costume and she just froze and became "dogatonic" (instead of catatonic). She told me that it worked for her because mommy took it off her really fast. It didn't work for me, I had to wear it for two hours that night. UGH. And I'm not sure why daddy's making that funny face, it's not like he's in a bunny costume or something.

Happy Halloween!
