My Bad Eye

On Monday my eye started getting all red, puffy, and very painful. I was just thinking it was pink eye again. I thought thats what i had gotten like 6 times in the last 4 months. On Wednesday it started hurting REALLY bad, so I decided to go to the eye doctor. I dropped Lilly off at the in-laws and went to my appointment. Once I was there, I discovered that I have a Corneal Ulcer. I guess it is really serious, and if I had waited any longer to go in I could have had a way bigger problem and maybe even vision loss. So I have had to go into the doctor everyday since Wednesday and will have to a few days next week. I have been on eye antibiotics that I put in my eye every hour. They were really expensive too. Anyways, I am just glad that we caught it in time. Gus has been walking around all day with one eye shut, seeing what it would be like if I lost my vision in that eye. He thinks he is so funny. I dont find it very amusing.

In the last few weeks Lilly has grown up so much! Its crazy! She tries to put on her own clothes and other peoples as well. She follows orders from me. I will tell her to get me a book to read and she does it. Just a couple of weeks ago it seemes like she didnt understand lots of the things I was saying. Its fun to know that she does, even though she doesnt communicate back. Well, she jabbers alot but I have no clue what she is saying.

Lilly Obsessions

Over the past couple of months Lilly has been clinging to certain toys and items around the house. She has always been obsessed with books, or anything that resembles a book. She will read in the entertainment center, in her bed, or while walking (this has resulted in lots of crashes). Over the past couple of weeks she has found a special place in her heart for her pink kitty. She sleeps with him and drags him around the house all day. This week she REALLY loves her new stroller(courtesy of Janae) and her beanie. She will sit in her stroller and watch Top Gun while holding and drinking her own bottle (yes, she is 15 months and refuses to hold her own bottle). Then came the beanie, and she fell in love. She wants to wears it everywhere and brings it to me when it falls off, so I can help her put it back on. She would where it to bed if she could. That’s my Lilly, taking after her mom with all her OCD tendencies.

Yes, her kitty is wearing a diaper

Littly Pony

Today was a big day at our house! We have been doing alot of piggies in Lills hair lately, but it is now long enough for a pony! (The front wasnt quite long enough so we have to put an extra elastic there)

Maddox's Blessing

This last Saturday Megan and Mike blessed their baby. My family came down from Idaho for the big day. It was fun to get together with everyone. Maddox is such a good baby, he slept right through his blessing. He is so adorable!

Maddox Harley McEwan

Lilly loved playing with all the new toys

Swimming

Before Maddox's blessing we went to my parents hotel and went swimming. Lilly loves swimming! She will go to the edge of the pool and try to jump in. She has no fear! She loved swimming with her uncles too!
