etcetera...

Annabelle had her first experience with sweet potatoes this past week. Wednesday afternoon I finally introduced her to them and she ABSOLUTELY loves them! much better than rice cereal, i must say.

she's also had her first cruddy sickness this past week. don't know if it's a cold or just congestion and yuck, but whatever it is, it's making me sad. she's not old enough to know how to cough in a productive way to express the mucus, so it's pitiful to hear her cough and breathe. i've just been cleaning her little nose out as much as possible. and of course, now i have it too! fun fun fun!

she's also getting fatter. much fatter! but, i love it! she is so adorable and so sweet and i am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO blessed!!! oh, and the gripe water has worked wonders for her gassy belly/teething issues! (it has helped with gas, teething, acid reflux issues and has even helped with painful hiccups). pretty much any ailment can be helped with the gripe water... and the best part about it is that it's all natural! just ginger and fennel. yay!
