Thursday night excitement

Well, our Thursday night was interesting.  I'm sick so I was locked in our bedroom and Matt was taking care of the girls. Once the girls went to bed, he went outside to do some yard work and I went into the kitchen to eat dinner.  The next thing I know, Maddy is coming around the corner in tears and with panic on her face.  "Mom, I have one of these stuck in my nose!"  WHAT!?!?!  So she showed me this little gemstone and said the other one was up her nose.  At first I thought maybe she was wrong but sure enough, she had a little gemstone up her left nostril.  Good grief!  So I SCREAMED for Matt who came in with a flashlight and tweezers to save the day (night).  It was WAY up there but he was able to slowly remove it and save us a trip to the ER.  Definitely got our blood pumping and sufficiently scared the !@#$ out of Maddy.  Still can't get a straight story on how it actually happened but hopefully a lesson learned. I'm hoping the weekend is a little less eventful. 


The one on the left was the one in her nose



Hannah Dean - 15 month visit

Hannah's 15 month check up was today and she passed with flying colors.  She is definitely starting to realize what the doctor is all about so that made the trip a little more challenging.  Hannah is now shaking her head yes and no and signs for 2-3 words which is nice because we feel like we know what she needs a little more than before.  She doesn't say much but it's clear she is comprehending lots of things so that is great.  Her eyes are still a beautiful blue so we're hoping they stick around!  2 shots this time followed by a guilt trip for Mommy.  Her scream was not one of pain but ANGER.  This was one time I'm glad I didn't know what she was thinking because I have a feeling it would not have ended well for me.  Having said that, she seemed to rebound quickly and didn't really have any side effects so that's a good thing.  Measurements are below - right on track.

Weight - 24 inches (70%)
Height - 30 1/2 inches (50%)
