Thanksgiving 2012

2012 has us thankful for SO many blessings! Grandma and Grandpa and Uncle Mikey were here to share them with me. Our biggest blessing, is that my sister Maria is here with us this year! Happy and healthy as ever!

A Trip Downtown With Grandma!

We went downtown on the Blue Line to see the Macy's Windows. I liked the ride on the 88 Higgins bus and the train more than ANYTHING else the whole day! It was Maria's first ride on the L!

This Is How You Do It, Maria

We'll get through it together! Maria and I both have some stuffy noses this week, but we are having fun. Maria's feet are hitting the floor flat in her walker, she's eating pears to help her tummy, and I'm full of energy! One week until Thanksgiving!

Happy 6 Months, Maria!

My little sister has been around for 6 months! I can't even imagine what life was like without her little funny self! :) I'm glad you are here with us, Ria!

Skating, Notre Dame, and Breathing Problems

What a week! Uncle Mikey took me ice skating for the first time!

He also brought me a NFL sticker book like he and mommy had when they were little. We had fun putting the stickers in and learning the teams.

Daddy had a conference at the University of Notre Dame, and I was having some breathing problems with the air conditioner being off in our building and the warmer temperatures. So we decided to take a ride with Daddy for an overnight trip.

I ended up in Immediate Care, and the doctor put me on a steroid like back in January, to help me get my breathing under control. Grandma came to visit me twice this week to help me stay calm.

What did Maria do, you ask? She just rolled with the punches all week. Here she is eating her foot! She's sitting up now and trying to play with all of my toys that she can get her hands on. :)

Happy Birthday, Grandpa!

What a fun week! Tumbling, crafts, fall weather, fall leaves from the trees that are oh so colorful, and Grandpa's birthday!

Change of Seasons

Change of weather means nebulizer is used quite often! I had a rough few days earlier in the week! Now that I'm older, I don't like to admit that I'm having a hard time breathing.

Maria is holding her own bottle these days (when she feels like it). She's our baby, so we make sure we take care of her if she doesn't feel like holding it.

Maria decided she wanted to check out the Ulta flyer here. Mom was looking at the pink nailpolishes, and Maria just grabbed it right out of her hands!
