New toys

Those are some of ther birthday gifts Mei Li got - she loves them! We are having a little bit of grumpiness this week - she is no longer getting her afternoon bottle. The doctor said to start switching her to milk, and to give it to her in a sippy cup. So she only gets a morning bottle and bedtime bottle now, and she is not too happy about it. It is killing mommy - I would rather just give her the bottle so she won't get upset and cry. It is so pitiful!

This is my last week at home with her. That is also killing mommy. I took her over to her day care today, and she was very quiet. Most of the kids had runny noses, and a couple cried ALOT. Monday is not going to be a good day for either of us. Plus , Mei still wakes up 2 or 3 times a night, so next week is going to be rough since we both have to get up early, and we will both have long days. I hate to wish time away, but I hope next week goes quickly, and she adjusts to the new routine.

1st Birthday!!

There is no doubt that my baby girl loves cake! Happy Birthday Mei Li!

We are back!

I just can't find anything to play with - I don't have any toys!

Mom let me feed myself - I think it went well!

I am working on my fighting face. You got to look tough to survive in this house!

It has taken me some time to adjust since we have been home, and Mei Li was sick last week. She caught a virus over the holidays, and had to stay at the hospital a couple of days. I am happy to report that she is all better, and we have stopped the breathing treatments. Her ear infections have cleared up also. As you can see, she is happy, happy, happy!

In the last few weeks, she has learned alot! She can crawl now, and can sit up from laying down, on her own. She is talking more too - trying to say Bandit and kitty.

I will try to post pictures once a week. Her first birthday is Monday, so I should have some cupcake devouring pictures next week.
