10 Months Old

She's officially in double digits now....10 months. WOW. Only 2 months left until we say we have a 1 year old. It's crazy how fast this year has went by. A year ago at this time I was done working. It's hard to believe I've been unemployed/retired for a year now :) I have to be honest....I don't miss it one bit. Sure I long for the days when I could have an "actual" conversation with someone. Nowadays my sentences are usually one or two words....but I wouldn't trade it for the world. I'm so lucky to get to see her first thing in the morning....and be the last one to see her at night. Here's her 10 month video. Enjoy :)

Hopefully the last of the mishaps

This week has been a little rough in the Parsons household. I had my wisdom teeth taken out on Wednesday...which wasn't near as bad as I thought it would be. Eleanor's head has been healing nicely....now it's an ugly yellow bruise, but needless to say, on the mend. The hubs however did not do so well yesterday. He managed to squish/squash/jam/pinch/almost cut off...his finger in our stroller while trying to open it. Ughh...lots of blood....a trip to the ER...and 3 stitches later....we're staying home today. I'm praying this is the last of it all for awhile. We're all doing ok...neither one of us is taking any prescription pain medication...so Eleanor is in good hands. But this week can't get over fast enough. We're ready for a quiet weekend....inside....taking it easy :)

Her 1st big boo boo....and I feel horrible!

Becoming more mobile=more risk of getting hurt. We both learned that one today. She was happily playing by the t.v. stand and tried to stand up holding onto the corner...and lost her balance and WHAM....conked her head on the corner...which then swelled up into a nasty "egg" on her forehead. I don't know who cried harder...her or me. It looks horrible...and of course...we're going to see some family this weekend. That will make some nice pictures! :) Oh well....we survived...and needless to say we are going to tomorrow to get all our baby proofing supplies..which will include bubble wrap to wrap her up in for the rest of her life! LOL :)

Planning for her birthday

I can't believe we're already planning for her 1st birthday. We're going with a cupcake theme, which is why I chose this new background :) I will be hand making her invitations....and already have a flood of ideas I'm tossing around in my head. I just need to make my way to my favorite store in the world....Paper Source. They have all the best tools...and their website helps me narrow down all the possibilities. I used them for our wedding invitations too. There will be more to come in this department. Until then I leave you with this funny picture I took of her recently...she's such a cutie!
