November 2011

This year sure is speeding along. Maren is almost 6 months old. She is rolling over all the time and she loves to eat her feet. She is still super happy most of the time and she has found her voice. She is always squeeking and making baby sounds. She really loves Kodi and they like to laugh at each other,

So the other day was super traumatic. I thought we were going to lose Kodi. She was playing with this little ring and she kept telling how pretty it was. So I was busy getting ready for work and Andrew was getting the girls ready to go. Kodi had put the ring in her mouth and when Andrew layed her down to change her diaper the ring went back in her throat and she started choking. She was crying and gagging. I don't even remember how I got to her but when I did I tried to get the ring out but it was too deep. I gave her the heimlich and then tried to get the ring. Thankfully it came out, but her throat was injured in the process and she bled all over me. I was the worst experience I have ever gone through. I love my little girls and I never want anything bad to happen to them. I am so grateful that she is doing ok. The only one who is permantly damaged is me. Hopefully the rest of the month goes better.
