A Dr. Day

Wednesday Morning I took Brooks in to get some old hardware removed from a teenage motorcycle accident.  After a few hours of being home, he got cabin fever and had to go outside.  Maggie went out to play with him.  Her battery wheeler was dead so she chose to ride the push wheeler that she is too big for.  She crashed into to curb and flipped the wheeler on top of her.  She crashed her chin right into the curb.  When I got her untangled from the wreckage, I knew right away she needed stitches. 

Brooks has just taken a fresh batch of pain killers but with his arm couldn't hold her.  So he drove us (all doped up on pain meds) to the ER while I held Maggie and prepped her for the shots to come.  She was such a brave girl.  She only cried when she got the shot.  She talked the whole time and the Dr. had to tell her more than once to hold her chin still. 

It was my first experience with stitches too.  I had a hard time keeping my chilli down.  When he had to dig and cut out the mashed up flesh, I almost lost it.  He had to tell me to pull myself together a couple times too.  Yucky Yucky. 
Like Father Like Daughter. 

3 inside and 5 out. 

Should have been the 1st

 Zoey got mixed up in the family order.  She should have been the first child.  Here is why.  She loves to be held.  (maggie preferred to be on her own).  I would have had more time to hold her if she was the first. 

She is a little slower in development than Maggie.  You always compare your second to your first.  Zoey isn't slow by all means just slower than Maggie.  

She is a mammas girl.  She takes after her boring/scared mom too.  She doesn't like to be thrown in the air, spun around, or drive fast in the wheeler.  Maggie loved crazy adventures.  Since our first did it, Brooks thinks all kids should love it. 

We really do love our little Zoey.  Her and Maggie are best friends.  The Bigger Zoey gets the Better friends they become. 

She is almost 9 months now.  We took her for her well baby yesterday.  She weighs 17 lbs 1oz and is 26 inches tall.  She is in the 25% in weight, height, and head.  A very proportioned baby.  

She learned to craw.  She eats EVERTYHING.  She is growing out of sleeping just anywhere.  And like I have said before, she LOVES her sister.  And her sister loves her.
