Sleep, Halloween, and New Tricks!

OK... so I spoke too soon. Brynn gave us a couple of decent nights sleep, and then started screaming again. I knew something wasn't right. We ended up bringing her into urgent care to get her ears checked. She had just finished her meds, but I had a feeling either her infection hadn't gone away... or it came right back. Mom was right :) She got a new prescription and so far so good (fingers crossed). She has slept pretty good this week, which makes for a happy mom and dad. She has her follow up appt tomorrow from her first infection, so we will see. I will have to let her Dr. know that she ended up getting more meds since it didn't go away. She also gets her flu shot tomorrow... no fun.

So what have the Babich's been up to? Well we took Brynnie to the apple orchard. We picked out her first pumpkin. We helped my Grandma move into her new room last weekend. We ripped all the carpet out of my Grandpa's old room, and painted it. She has been sleeping in there and she is really enjoying it. We have had our townhome for rent now for the last week and a half. Have had some interest, but no one signing a lease yet. I hope it happens soon. I refuse to leave my house before we have a renters. I don't want to pay for our mortgage and not be living here.

Brynnie enjoyed her first Halloween! We took her to the Mall of America and walked around. I didn't really want to take her trick-or-treating since I would have been the one eating the candy-- which wouldn't have been a good thing. She was a strawberry, and drew a lot of attention to herself!

Dan and I have been enjoying the start to the Wild's season. They have been playing SO SO well. We haven't been going to as many games... but it is so hard with Miss Brynn. I hate leaving her since I am away from her all day.

I am going to be a hunting widow this weekend :( I hate when Dan leaves us. I know he enjoys it, but I will admit it, I am a needy wife and like when he is here. I plan on going to the SSP Football game tomorrow night. We play St. Thomas in the section finals.... again. Brynn will get to hang out for a bit with Grandma Suzie. I have a good feeling though and I hope the boys win. Saturday Dan scheduled me for a massage and facial (I think to make the fact he is leaving this weekend a little less stressful), so that will be so nice. Auntie Shannon will be watching Brynn for me.

Sunday... maybe a little shopping?? :) I should start some Christmas shopping. I am going to really try and not go too crazy. It will be hard having Brynn.

New things Brynn has been doing:
--She waves "Bye Bye". MOST of the time when we do it with her. Sometimes she just stares at us.
-- When we lift our arms up in the air and say "SO big!", she lifts her arms up, too!! SO fun.
--Lots of baby babbles... la la la, ba ba ba, da da da.
-- Says "mama"... and I think "dada"
-- SO CLOSE to standing on her own. She has let go of things quickly and then either sat down or held back on.
--Crawling/ Standing all over the place... and walking behind her "walker" toy.

How will she be 10 months in a week?? I just love her to pieces and feel so blessed to have such a beautiful little girl.
