I think it's the flu...
Molly is so sick. Chrissey called me today and told me that she threw up at breakfast and after her nap. She also had diarrhea all day long. When I picked her up early, she wasn't standing on her own - she was so weak. I put her in the car and her eyes were like glass and she couldn't hold her head up. I freaked because I thought she was dehydrated and drove to the ER (after I got off the phone with the Dr.) but I just sat in the ER parking lot making sure she was ok. I finally calmed myself down enough to go home and to give her fluids. At home, she finally ate a half bowl of chicken noodle soup and a 6 oz. bottle of pedialyte. Thank goodness. She has not thrown up since but has not had a wet diaper (just diarrhea). She is also running a low-grade fever. I'm going to call the Dr. tomorrow and see what they tell me. Poor girl...I don't think I've ever seen her this sick.

What I can say at 17 months
Molly has a pretty good vocabulary now. She's slowly starting to combine words together. The biggest milestone is "I, poopy." And guess what? She really is. The first steps in potty-training are finally here. Although, I try sitting her on the toilet and she grunts and knows what to do but doesn't. Well, it's worth a try. She can say "potty" and "pee pee" so she knows.
Here's her rundown of words:
Hi, Hello (sounds like "hewo"), Bye and Bye-Bye, Mommy, Daddy, Katie (her aunt), Me (and points to herself), Baby, Mine, Shoe, Sock (sounds like "cuk"), Jesus (sounds like "chia" or "gia"), Whoa, Elmo (sounds like "melmo"), Blue (sounds like "boo"), Bath (sounds like "ba"), Ball (sounds like "bowel"), Pee Pee, Poo Poo, Stinky, Potty, Two, Milk (sounds like "meh"), Juice (sounds like "jew"), Cheese, Down, Eat, Dog, Cat, Meow, Car, Bock Bock, Night Night, Grow (sounds like "go"), Go, Cookie (she says this one really good), Cracker (sounds like "ca ca"), Pizza (sounds like "pia"), Quack-Quack (sounds like "cak cak"), Duck and we can't forget the most famous on the list--NO!
Her two word combinations are:
I Poopy, Green Bean (sounds like "gree bee"), I Down
And she can finish the song "Old McDonald" with E-I-E-I-O!
Her favorite church songs (and I can sing along and do the actions):
"Read your Bible, Pray Everyday and you'll Grow, Grow, Grow!"
"The flowers are gently swaying..."

What is the world coming to?
Do you see what's happening here? Peter has let the destruction of gaming take over Molly's mind. See how she is hypnotized by "Warcraft"? What is daddy thinking?
