Tabitha is 11 months old. She has just gotten over her 3rd ear infection in 2 months.
I was losing it the other night. She didn't sleep for 21 hours straight. She was happy as long as she wasn't laying down when I took her to the doctor my worst fears were confirmed.
yep
another 'effin ear infection. I could not believe it. We had to get 2 shots of antibiotics in our chubby little thighs which made us cry. Yes, the both of us cried.
She is also on a liquid antibiotic which has given her,

enough yeast to bake her own cupcakes.
I feel badly for her because it looks so very painful, the good news is that her spirits are high and she is as funny and charming as ever. I took her to the mall today to pick up a couple of things and she was chattering and laughing and talking to everyone.

Then, tonight at dinner she decided that she needed to share with her momma. She would eat a pea, I would have to eat a pea. SHE would eat a bean, I would have one smashed up my nose and all over the lenses of my glasses. Tabitha would eat a blueberry, I would pull one out of my hair...all the while laughing merrily to herself. She is very charming when she wants to be.

In other news, Tabitha has her first boyfriend. He is another little boy from daycare. When I brought he in this morning she crawled over and he walked over and they kind of tackled each other and fell to the floor. He smashed his face against her face, he shared his toy and then they both just lay there drooling and fondling each other. She is not even one yet, do I need to have the 'talk' with her already? Does she need to be on birth control?
It was super cute I must admit. Tabitha and little D make cute babies. She is a bit of a tease, there is another little boy named G who really likes her and follows her around all the time and then cries when I pick her up at the end of the day.

She went to her first tech conference this week with Daddy. She was of course the belle of the ball. I have pictures to share soon. I have to get them off the digital camera but I haven't' yet.
She was wearing her TCP/IP but mostly IP shirt.

I have to start planning her 1st birthday party. Can you even believe that? Where did the time go?

A couple of notes from the mad house

Well,

Tabitha has recovered very nicely from her diseases. She ended up on an antibiotic for 12 days to clear up the double ear infection that she managed to get.

We went on a road trip in the MoHo (nicknamed Galaxy Quest) to Southern California. We went to Disneyland and Legoland, then took the long scenic route home. It was really fun.
David put her crib mattress in the space between the wall and the bed and that is where she slept.
Which she did really well, she almost slept through the night every night that we were on vacation.

Here is her first amusement park ride, the infamous, incedious
It's a Small World.
I do believe that this ride is an attempt at brainwashing. If it isn't brainwashing, it is certainly mind numbing. The babies all love it, I wonder why...It must be all those neon colors!! and the tinkle tinkle wah wah wah of the music. ARRRRRRG OH NO.....Now I have to do it to you.
It'a a World of laughter a world of tears
It's a world of hope and a world of fears
There's so much that we share
That its time we're aware.
It's a Small World After All

At least the baby is cute. Right?

I think that someone is ready to start the family hobby!!!
She is already showing her abilities to steer the boat!

You have to love a man who loves wearing the baby!!
Tabitha loves her MeiTai carrier!!

DUH DUT DUH DUT
Someone is getting eaten by a shark!!!

She really is a good baby. She laughs so much and shows such personality. We cannot keep her off the stairs. If we turn around, there she is. On the stairs, climbing and ready to play play play. She has been sleeping really well lately too. She only wakes one time per night usually. Sometimes not at all, which we really love love love.
She has been going to daycare 3 days a week and is charming all of the people in the place. She waves and laughs and smiles and makes them love her.

There was this one day when she wasnt acting like her normal charming self, she was crying and whineing and carrying on, finally she started crawling to the back of the motorhome. She started beating on her bed, so we picked her up and put her down on her bed, she grabbed a binky, rolled over, and went to sleep...ALL ON HER OWN
WAY TO GO BABY!!!
David and I were shocked, amazed and so happy!!
Let's hope she does that again sometime soon.
