So I knew that marrying John would be an adventure, but now I have a daughter that has all John's genes and boy is she keeping me on my toes. Now that she's crawling, she gets into everything. Just last week she was the easiest baby to watch and now I'm constantly cleaning up after her and hiding things that I don't want her to destroy. I thought I wouldn't have to deal with this for at least a few more months! Also because she loves to pull herself up by the coffee table, the T.V. stand, the chairs, the kitchen table, our computer desk, her crib, etc., she has taken several falls and bonks on the head. That doesn't stop her, but she's starting to look like she got in a fight with all her bruises. And yes, like all toddlers, she puts everything in her mouth, and I'm constanly pulling things out of her mouth that she's found on the floor. This morning, though, she had something in her mouth and she started to gag and then rasp. John tried to get it out with his finger, but couldn't and she started choking. I grabbed her and turned her upside down and whacked her back twice. Out flew a penney she'd found on the ground. Oops! Its time to deep clean. Two days ago, she also choked on a baby cookie she was sucking on and I had to do the heimlich again. Needless to say, I have had my heart racing several times this week with Zora. I'm just glad I knew what to do in a case like this. I can't imagine what fun she'll be when she's actually walking. Oh yah, I included a short video of her walking using her pushtoy.

Scary! I hate it when they choke. Life really changes when they become mobile, I feel for you. Looks like she will be running in no time at all.
