Today started out a little rough but ended on a good note. Esme had a hard time sleeping last night and then she started puking early this morning. I thought it might be an isolated incident but then it was so bad that she was even dry heaving inbetween :( She continued this throughout the day even though but she was in a great mood. No fever, no rash, and she had an appetite. Of course we limited her to small amounts of water, milk or crackers and sometimes it still came back up. Unfortunately the diarrhea was soon to follow too. Allen worked the morning and then came home at lunch to relieve me so I could work the afternoon. It was times like these that makes it hard to not have family nearby but luckily we were able to make it work.
The light at the end of the tunnel was that she took her first steps tonight! Esme was really clingy when I got home from work so I had to take her upstairs while I changed out of my work clothes. I put her down in front of me, about 2 feet, while I quickly changed but she wasn't having it. She walked right up to my legs and clung on tight. It was so awesome!
One of her favorite new words is gentle but it sounds like "din-tle" when she says it. I say this whenever she grabs my hair or earrings and she recites it too now. She's also saying mama, dada, uh-oh, thank you, and no. We have to be careful cause she recites just about anything we say too :)
