Appointment Marathon

Posted on

The week after my discharge from the hospital was filled with follow up appointments. I was cruising in my chariot almost everyday. 

10/9: appointment with a pediatrician at CHLA

  • Photo shoot while in the waiting room

No one warned me I would have to take 3 shots during this visit 😱🚫💉🚫🙅🏻‍♂️ I never ever want to come back here again. The upright humans tricked me 😤

  • Shot #1
  • Shot #2
  • Shot #3


My teething has been bothering me big time. I’ve been putting everything in my mouth. The pineapple was very soothing though 😊🍍

10/10: Helmet follow up in Torrance

This is how I get moved around sans stroller. Daddy looks like Ghost Busters!
Crazy helmet hair, don’t care

Pooped after the appointment. My clothes never made it back on.

Strolling at a park

Posted on

I visited a park for the first time ever today. Fresh air, blue skies, trees, green grass, squirrels, ducks, fish, turtles, mini uprights running around and squealing – We should come here more often!

Starting off the morning with lots of ticklish giggles
Well-rested and ready to go!

Yayyayyay we’re going out today!


But first, Sitting exercises with Grandpa
And some yogurt tasting 
My posse
Streets lined with palm trees…only in LA

Sweet lake


Off-roading in the grass with daddy. Nice job rolling over poop, mommy. Gotta clean those tires in the grass now 😅 
Squirrel! 🐿
Get it together mommy, wrong direction. Even I know 🙄 So uncool. 



Great workout for the grandparents pushing all my heavy gear for the 1 mile walk back 💪🏻 while I snooze away 😪
Still snoozing even after coming home 
  • Melon treat to soothe my teething 
  • Thanks Grandpa 
Having a great conversation with Grandpa about the park
What is it with my tongue that gets the uprights so excited?! Their reaction startled me big time! You would think someone won the lottery with all that commotion.
