Learning to feed herself

Weekend at the lake

8.5 months old

1st allergic reaction

Hallie had her first allergic reaction when she was with her daddy. He had given her a bottle and after that gave her a few bites of his peach. Within 5-10 min she broke out in hives all over her body. Her face swelled and her eyes swelled. She was breathing fine so he wasn't too worried. He had to borrow a car seat from a neighbor b/c I had forgotten to leave one with him. Ben took her to the the Care Now clinic and they gave her a steroid shot and some benadryl. While sitting in the dr.'s office, Hallie in Bens lap, facing him, starts throwing up and as he puts it "like a man". He didn't want to move her so he was just patting her on the back, telling her, "it's ok baby girl", and she was just letting it out all over his lap. What a dad.
I thought about leaving out the part about the male nurse coming in and while Ben was holding Hallie the dr. is wiping the throw up off of Ben. Oh yes, just patting his crotch over and over.

Just when you think she has outgrown her swing...

Thanks for the great clip Gigi! Glad you and Pops got a good laugh. That was fun to see her do it again when I got there. I think she was showing off for me.
