nine, ten, eleven months

The end of the year has gotten away from me. Sibyl is now 11 1/2 months and is almost running in her own baby way. She started walking around 10 months old, about the same time as Iris but maybe a week or two earlier. She is babbling a lot and says babble-y things that sound like "What's that?" and "All done."

My mom moved to Ft. Collins (hooray!) and we drove up to visit a few months ago. On the way home we had to make an emergency potty stop so we unexpectedly had our first family trip to McDonald's.

We had a short hospital stay in October for Iris. She had adenovirus along with some other viruses. Treatment for respiratory illness consists of pulmozyme (usually given to cystic fibrosis patients), a vest that jiggles her around, and regular deep suctioning and nasal aspiration.

She was able to get home by Halloween and even go to the dress up day at school. Iris was a koala, which was the same costume she wore as last year. At first she said she wanted to be a blue ghost but then kept changing her mind so I floated the idea of wearing a koala costume and she was totally on board with it.

We went trick-or-treating around the block with the Beckers, who managed to have a theme for the whole family: Pokemon Go. Iris loved trick-or-treating and then forgot about the candy she had gathered by the next day.
