9 Months Already?!

I am kinda surprised I was able to get her to smile - we had quite the interesting night last night. Probably 4-5 hrs of non-stop SCREAMING. At first we thought it was teeth (her first tooth started popping through on Christmas), but she was way too inconsolable for it to be teeth. Still not sure what was wrong, maybe her ears again (they are still infected, but haven't bothered her this much before) or maybe a tummy ache or night terrors according to the nurse. She is almost completely on formula now, but has been for a couple of weeks, so I thought she would have had a reaction by now but who knows. All we know is that tonight is going to be better, or we will be going into the dr's again tomorrow :(

First "Words"

She doesn't actually know what they mean at this point, but it is still cute!



She also learned her first baby sign about a week ago. She can now sign "milk", and uses it often!

Aerogarden

For Christmas, one of the sweet gifts I received from Josh (yup we exchanged already - in record time I think) was an Aerogarden Classic. It came with an herb garden kit, and Josh also picked up a cherry tomato kit because he knows what I like :) I "planted" the tomatoes on 11/29. It was so easy, you just pop in the pods, fill with water and add the provided nutrients to the water. It then will tell you when the water is low, when to add more nutrients, etc. Pretty much fuss-free :) It claims sprouts in 4-7 days and they were right! The sprouts came up today, on day 4! It also claims harvest in a month, so we will see. I will add pics as they grow, should be neat to see how well it works and if it is worth the $$$ ;)
