80's Aerobics Anyone?

Olivia is now into these wonderful headbands. She has to put them on herself and then she wears them while she plays and dances around. It totally reminds me of an 80's aerobic instructor! Not that I'm old enough to have really remembered the eighties .

Last week Olivia went in for her surgery. Here she is sitting in the metal crib that hey put little kids or infants in. A little creepy to me but fortunately they didn't cart her back into the room with it. We handed her over to the nurse and she took her back. She woke up fairly quick but was very upset with what was going on. I felt bad for her and wanted to comfort her but she quickly decided that dad was who she wanted and didn't want me to touch her.

I didn't get any more pictures of her being that she was very unhappy but I did snap this one real fast before we put her jammies back on. They did an environmental allergy test and a food test on her and here are all the marks. Thank goodness she was out while this went on. We found out that she is allergic to cats, a type of mold that can grow on your bread or on fruit and she is border line with milk.

The surgery went well and hopefully she wont be sick as often. The Dr. said that her adenoids were huge and that they had to use the highest level of suction to get all the fluid in her ears. She was a very sick and congested baby. I feel so much better that we finally found out what was going on with her. The only thing is her tonsils are still quite large and more than likely she will have to go back in about a year and have them removed. I'm very grateful for a beautiful, happy, loving girl.

Where Did My BAby Go?

I was watching Olivia play outside the other day and I couldn't believe that I no longer a baby. I have an almost toddler. She is getting so big and I love that her personality is coming out more and more each day. I feel like I have someone to talk to during the day now, well somewhat:) Here are a few pictures of her when she was younger .

Olivia loves to be outside and I know we are more than ecstatic for the warmer weather! I'm sick of being couped up inside all day every day. She is so funny with the faces she makes. When she moos like a cow she puckers up her lips. She also likes to play with any type of ball but I'm hoping that the basketball will win! Maybe that way she can have a bit of me in her somewhere. The other day we finally got her hair in PIGTAILS!!!!!! They don't stay in very well but it was so exciting to she her hair up and out of her face. At the same time I was sad bc she looks so old and big with her hair in pigtails:( She is growing way to fast!

In my last post which I know was over a month ago, I mentioned that Olivia had been sick a lot. We took her off all dairy and whey products for a month and yet she still got sick twice with a bad cold and cough. We went back to the DR. today and she still had quite a bit of fluid in her ears and her tonsils were red. The verdict? The poor little girl has to have plugs put in her ears , be tested for every possible food allergy and have her addnoids removed! It scares me so bad to have her put under but I know they are great at what they do and she'll be fine. She goes in to surgery in two weeks and hopefully she will start to finally feel better. If it doesn't work the tonsils might have to come out but for now she is way to small and young for that surgery. I'm grateful that there is something that can be done for her. I want her to feel happy and healthy which in turn would make me happy.
