Things have been insane around here since Thanksgiving. We had a great holiday - the Wednesday before we spent the night at my parents' house, and went to church in the evening. My "other" church hosted the conference-turned-semi-community service, and I played with the brass group (that's the 2nd time in about a month that my trombone has been played, and it's still trying to figure out what hit it - thank goodness it didn't shrivel up once it saw the light of day!). Thursday John, Judith, & I drove to see John's parents and one of his brothers, and we had breakfast with them. Turkey dinner was later that day, with my parents and grandmother.
Judith had her first tastes of some Thanksgiving foods, minus the turkey; she doesn't handle meats well, and I'm honestly waiting until she has more teeth (I'd ideally like to hold off until she has molars, based off of some good advice I was given a while back) before really trying meats with her. Despite the meatless meal, Judith really enjoyed herself! Mashed potatoes were an especially big hit:
We even put some gravy on them, figuring it would be a good high-calorie option for her. She didn't seem to be a big fan. Silly kid.
The rest of the weekend was spent shopping and preparing some things for Judith's upcoming birthday and party. We have our paper goods & decorations, and yesterday I finished her pictures for our photo wall. I feel a thousand times better knowing this is done! I need to find my Pampered Chef easy decorator and wash it so it's ready to go for cupcake decoration, and there are a few small loose ends that we'll need to take care of, but otherwise we're in good shape!
We have another CF Clinic appointment, and it will be the first one with Judith's new doctor. I have a big list of questions I'm taking with me this time, and hopefully we can get some answers. I'm so curious to see how long she is, and how much she weighs! Next week she'll have her 1 year well-baby visit with her regular pediatrician, and that means shots. I'm seriously contemplating delaying one of them until her 15 month appointment since she's getting her Synagis injections at this appointment as well - I don't want to stick her too many times, and I'm wary of overloading her system too much. Load these appointments on top of crazy rehearsal schedules to get ready for building dedication at my "other" church, PT changes (since we'll be at clinic during her normal therapy time), and general holiday preparations, I may go nuts.
I am excited that Judith has a new tooth! Her upper front left tooth made an appearance over the holiday, and it's steadily working its way through her gum. It'll be a while before it's fully in, but at least it cut through. She's still teething like crazy though, and there are at least 2-3 other teeth lined up, preparing to come out. I'm not surprised that she's cutting a bunch at once, but she's also been super cranky because of it - these teeth had better come out quickly for everyone's sake!
