We found out a couple of weeks ago that Tori needed tubes due to recurrent ear infections and persistent fluid in her ears. Her surgery was
yesterday and she did great! She was a little crabby from the anesthesia but came right home and started playing. The doctor said that she developed another bad double ear infection since her last visit so just 24 hours after surgery she seems to already be in less pain. She slept for 12 hours last night and check out the video of what she did today. We were shopping for Christmas decorations and she found a singing Woody doll and apparently loved it. :)
Tori has been picking up a few words here a there this past month. She now says "Bite" whenever she wants what you're eating (or
drinking) and she loves to say "baby!" repeatedly when she sees a little one or herself in the mirror. My favorite is that she now answers questions!! I can ask her if she wants to sit on the potty and she'll say "no" or "yeah" or if you take something away that she wants you hear "
nanananananana." She sits on the potty a couple of times a day but
doesn't quite know what she's supposed to do on it yet. She still loves to cuddle, especially when she's tired.
Winter coat! She is not a big fan of the hood except to play peek-a-boo with it :)
Snow! We've had a few flurries but today we had the first real snow of the season.
Brrrrr!
Sledding with Tori.
It was so windy the bird feeder was swinging all over the place. Crazy birds! Shouldn't you be hiding in a bush somewhere?
Making some Christmas crafts.
We've had lots of geese and birds migrating and every time Tori sees a group flying out the car window or in the back yard she gets so excited and yells "WHOA!" or jumps around and points. So I thought we should put out some seed and the birds attacked the feeder before we could even get inside, which she loved since they were so close. So we went for a walk and collected a couple of pine cones and made some old fashioned bird feeders with peanut butter and rolled in seeds for our birdie friends. What a fun little project!
Just 3 weeks into having tubes she already has another double ear infection! Her ears are draining like crazy again so she's getting drops in her ears three times a day. We finished one bottle and she was playing with it. She went right to her baby and put drops in her ears :) Such a good mommy!
She's also started putting her baby in the booster seat and feeding her (I haven't broken the news to her yet that babies don't eat crackers). :)
Oh Tori! She must have found a box of hot cocoa packets in the pantry (she can open the door now and pull things off the bottom shelves). She managed to tear one open and dump it on the floor. I found her drawing in the "sand." Its amazing how quickly she can get herself into such a mess!
