Only 6 more days until Florida

Here's Sally's reaction when she realizes how soon we get to be in the sun!

"Hey Sally Girl, Guess What?!"

"Yes, Mommy, what is it?"
"We leave for Florida a week from Today!"

"WHAT?! I gotta get packing!"

Dancing to Sally Ann

Sally busted out all of her dance moves yesterday, while dancing to one of her favorite songs, Sally Ann. One of my former student's Uncle sings this song, kind of a neat connection. Sorry for the movement of the camera, it was really hard not to laugh out loud while recording...enjoy! (as I'm attaching the video and it's playing, Sally is doing the exact same dance!)

Our little inch worm

Slow and steady wins the race!

Double Digits!

Yesterday, Sally turned 10 months. Yes, mommy is a little sad how quickly her little girl is growing up, but she is also getting to such a fun stage! She finds a way to crack Reid and I up every single day! There are numerous days that I call Reid at work to tell him the funny thing that Sally did! Everyday there is something new! Still no true first words, but she has had some more coincidences like the cracker incident.

For example, on Sunday we were going for a family walk and Reid looked at Sally and said, "Do you love your mommy and your daddy." Clear as day and without a moments hesitation Sally said, "Yeah!"

Sally is getting much more mobile and loves to explore. We decided that it was time to lower her crib :( Another sign of how big she is getting. Every time we go in to either check on her, or she is up for the day she is in a different position. Below are a few pictures of her after waking up! And yes, we're well aware that we're breaking all of the rules by having bumpers, snuggly blankets and stuffed animals in her crib...

Kisses from Cousin Cannon

We had a fun weekend hanging with Reid's brother's family, Marc, Regan and Cannon. Sally had a great time watching her cousin run around and play, and she even got a chance to army crawl after him. Yep, that's right, she's started to crawl. That will be tomorrow's video!

Thank you to Marc, Regan and Cannon for a great weekend with lots of love and laughter!

Results

The Doctor called us Friday afternoon. There has been no change in Sally's reflux. The doctor asked how Sally does with her antibiotics she has to take every night. In all honesty, she looks forward to it! It's almost like her after dinner dessert! The doctor said to continue giving her the dose of antibiotic and we'll test again in about a year. If there is still no change we will probably end up doing surgery.

The doctor says to keep in mind that Sally has had this reflux since the first trimester of pregnancy so that if there is only a small change in her results that it would be a few years before it would be completely gone (IF there were to be a change in a year). So, that would mean she'd be on antibiotics for years, and that wouldn't be the best thing for her because she could possibly develop a rejection to this antibiotic which could cause problems in the future if she were to ever need it for an infection of some sort.

We're hoping, that whatever the route we need to take, we can have it completed before Sally starts potty training and have it over with before she'll be able to remember and know what's happening.

We know things could be much much worse so we're counting our many blessings! Thank you for all the extra prayers!
