11 months ... could it be??

Let's go somewhere! I found my shoe!!

Eating cookies and visiting with mémère


Busted while trying to print something hahaha

Reading one of her new french books.

Has it been 11 months? Wow. It has. Amélie has grown so quickly and is such a little person I can hardly believe she was ever a newborn. Although our nights are no longer sleepless ... Amelie has a tendency to wake up once or twice here and there. I have to admit to not minding the night time wake ups ... it's a wonderful reminder that she's still breathing. I think every parent fears that one morning their baby won't wake up. She now has a little mouth of razor sharp chompers - 7 total, and one on the way I think. Or so the cranky, biting baby says :-0. She walks like she's been doing it since she was born ... I swear she thinks she has too. I miss her spongebob walking (with her arms up in the air) lol, but her little swagger is cute too! She doesn't run very well, but that sure doesn't stop her from trying and she is very, very sneaky. There isn't much we can do to block any doorways (short of an actual door), she always seems to climb, crawl or wiggle out. She enjoys walking from the kitchen to her bedroom, to the porch to the living room ... multiple times during the day. Amelie is also very helpful with laundry - most days. She eats mostly what we eat and I look forward to the no formula days ... YAY!

As for work, I'm back lol. Have been since January. Corey on the other hand was in a bit of a fight at the jail and is now off for a couple weeks, maybe longer. He's okay. The hospital has seriously only confirmed their complete incompetence and I simply have no trust in our very own health care providers. Instances of blood to blood contact - no matter how slight can be very traumatic and dramatically change a life in a second, but there is a cocktail that you can take that kills everything (including Hep C), but it MUST be taken within 2 hours of the contact. Corey waited for 5 hours ... despite having told them he'd had blood to blood contact. Are you as impressed as me? Now some of you are saying ... well there are other emergencies. From what I understand ... heart meds have to be given within 30 minutes ... that still leaves 90 ... am I not doing the math correctly? And how long does it take to give a drink to someone? PLUS Corey watched them having coffee ... soooooooo .... yah. Anyways, turns out the inmates blood tests were all negative ... PHEW! and lucky for the hospital ... although Corey did complain, and write a report and they are implementing a policy for correctional officers. YAY Corey! lol
