finally catching up

so i'll give you the short version since its been almost a month. we went to blythe, (lily and i) had a great time. lily loved her cousins and chica of course. we got sick and then thought we were all better before we went to tuscon... WRONG. we got my mother in law, sisters in law and brother in law sick... so we basically sat around the apt minus going to the zoo for an hour (which lily loved) (during all this seth was on a hort trip with the school... but more about that in a different blog)we got home last wed to a chirping smoke detector which i could not reach... (seth wasn't home yet) so i searched the complex for a guy tall enough to reach it and when i finally found one we found out that it keeps chirping even when you take out the bad battery. so i ran to kmart (stopping to order thai food on the way thanks to katie:)) got a battery (left my wallet but i didn't figure that out til the next day) got home put lily to bed and seth came home within an hour. since then we've just been hanging out. seth had two finals and has been working on campus. a couple of days after we got home lily fell and hit her cheek on the entertainment center (since she is now walking around the furniture) she got a black eye... poor thing... so things were settling down until two nights ago when we were getting ready to go to a hort social we made some whipping cream... we had slowly been pushing lily's milk allergy and decided to give her some cream... this didn't go well.. within minutes she was red and covered in hives... her eyes were swollen and the poor thing was so sad.. so we put some benedryl gel on her and rushed her to the hospital... by the time we were seen by a doctor most of the rash was gone but her eyes were pretty poofy. she was being so cute in the hospital. she likes to mimic and make fun of people... and when a little boy in the same room cried (recieving a shot) she laughed at him... then when the nurse lectured the boy she waved her hands going "a ba ba ba DA DA" it was sad but cute... anyway they gave her benedryl (she slept so well that night) and we continued to the party... tomorrow we are hosting a bbq... seth is doing some texas style brisket (its already started) and the we are grilling some steaks with everyone coming chipping in a few bucks. there should be about 12 people so it should be fun... so thats whats up here... i didn't have the camera in blythe so the few pics i have are of lily in the bath and high chair... note that she is always standing and her black eye. ( the pics are a little blurry because she is always moving.. but still cute)
