The party never ends

My last post I told you that Lizzie had strep throat...8 days later...we have an ear infection. When it rains it pours. Poor Lizzie went from one illness right into the next one. Cody and I took her back to the dr. yesterday and the left ear is the problem. She was not done with her first antibiotic, so they put her on a new and stronger one. We will see what happens.
I, being stuck at home with a sick baby, have began exploring the world of nurseries all over again. It will be a nuetral one this time around, but still fun to decorate. :)
I will post pics soon...I promise!

Christmas Eve

Today we went to my MeMaw's house and celebrated with my moms side of the family. It was good getting to see every body. Lizzie ran around and made herself so tired that she fell asleep on the couch. Then when we got back to Granny and PawPaw's they had more presents for her to open.She is spoiled rotten! We did not get to take her to see Santa Clause this year because Monday I was a little worried that Lizzie had a sore throat so I took her to the dr. Come to find out, she had strep throat (this is very rare for a one year old to have). As a result, I kept her home Monday and Tuesday which means that poor mistreated Cody will not receive his presents from us until after Christmas and little Lizzie did not get her picture made with Santa. I guess that I learned my lesson!
As Lizzie opens her presents she likes to try them on!
She pays attention to each and every thing that she gets. It is so cute.

Hopefully I will be able to send out Christmas Day pics one day this week. We are headed to El Campo bright and early to celebrate with Cody's moms side of the family, that is, after Santa comes to our house! I can't wait.

Christmas Parties Galore (Dec. 20th)

We celebrated with my dad's side of the family on Sunday and Lizzie got to experience opening multiple presents at one time. She loves to rip the paper, but enjoys the presents in bags much better because after she opens them she carries the bag around like a purse.
Cody got to experience putting it all together at one time with an impatient baby waiting by his side to play. Lizzie got a highchair for her baby dolls and wanted it and her My little Pony out of the box at the same time.
Her little outfit was too cute not to share. She loves this dress. The first time that I put it on her she twirled around like she knew that was what she was supposed to do.

Brown Christmas

Since my little brother, Andrew, was headed to Illinois for Christmas, we celebrated with my parents and him on Dec. 12th. We went to our favorite family restaraunt...Shoguns in Cypress. It is Hibachi style where they cook at the table in front of you. Lizzie loved watching the action and she even made an attempt at the chop sticks, but that didn't work!
I also had an ultrasound that day. The baby is fine, but is breach. I have a head on one side and a butt on the other. It has a specific name when they are sideways, but I don't remember it right now. We have decided not to find out the sex of the baby, for now anyway. Maybe we will change our mind by 32 weeks.
