ELEVEN Months
11 months old and I just can't believe it. How is it even possible that next month we will be having a birthday party? I can't even think about it.
You are, by far, the cutest and most awesome kid I've ever known. Ever.
You make being a mom the happiest, easiest and best job in the world!
Honestly, you are SO MUCH FUN. You have so much personality and are so happy.
You are walking!!! It's been so fun watching you reach and accomplish this milestone!
We laugh together, play together, and we make silly noises together.
You babble- a lot. You always always have something to say!
Jumping out from behind the couches to scare each other then chasing each other is your favorite game!
Tooth 5 and 6 have poked through.
You decided you don't like going in your car seat; driving is still our antidote when you're fighting sleep.
You love reading and turn the pages of books. Except you eat books and that's not cool.
You like taking walks when the weather is nice and swinging.
You decided you like to give kisses again... and Mommy loves your sweet kisses!
You've learned how to throw things.
You are know cause and effect and how things work:
- you hold the remote up and point it to the tv
- you know that socks go on your feet (even though you are SO quick to rip them off!)
- you can use the comb to "brush" your hair
You aren't very happy when I go in a room and shut the door behind me. You always have to be with Mommy!
While I hum or sing you to sleep, you quietly join in humming as you drift off to sleep. You smile and laugh in your sleep. You also roll around and toss and turn quite a bit.
I cherish each and every single day. I take extra long pauses. I look at your sweet toes, I run my fingers through your hair. I sit and just play. I hold you and rock a few extra minutes before putting you in bed. I know these days are fleeting. Before I know it, I will blink and they will be a distant memory. I am so blessed and sometimes I just let the happiness overcome me. I let my breath be taken away. I just stop, enjoy the moment and remind myself to bottle it up. I never want to forget how awesome these days are. I love our little family.

Rotation Recap: Internal Medicine
I told Tony that he should journal after each rotation so he can look back at all the pro's and cons. I don't know if he'll actually do it, but I thought I'd write down some of my thoughts....
after all, one of these will be the career path he chooses!
Internal Medicine:
First half was SO GOOD. Maybe not the hours, they kinda sucked, but this type of medicine is what he's been looking forward to (he's only had psych and derm). It's the quick thinking, deductive reasoning, diagnosing, puzzle solving, and bond with patients that makes this so good. I could tell that every day he was interested, challenged, genuinely concerned and cared for his patients.
Second half wasn't so good. I'm sure this has to do with the different setting: attendings, hospital, and patients. I think time in the hospital full-time starting getting a little wearing. Also, chronic diseases (COPD, diabetes, obesity) over and over again seemed to get a little tiresome and/or frustrating. When you're working in the hospital full-time, you end up seeing people that won't be living very long (not always an immediate terminal prognosis, but not a great life expectancy), and, sadly, sometimes patients die in the hospital; that can get hard and disappointing.
Do I think this will be his career?
Ehhh, probably not, but could be... not really sure. It'd be a great choice if he wanted to specialize, but I don't see him working in a hospital environment 24/7. (Although I do enjoy seeing my husband wear scrubs sometimes... but the dress shirts and ties are good too. ;)) Overall, I don't see this type of work being something that he'd want to do for a career. Was it a good experience? Yes. Did he enjoy all the learning? Absolutely. Did this rotation show me that my husband is going to make one hell of an awesome, kind-hearted, smart, and great doctor? Without a doubt! We're excited to see what the next rotation of Family Medicine has to offer!
