Little Puker

We had an exciting day today. Lilah vomited for the first time. We had just dropped some shirts off at the dry cleaners and were headed to the park. Driving down the street, I heard Lilah coughing strangely, and when I turned to look, she was vomiting all over. What a big mess from a little baby! She was pretty scared, as was I. I was trying to think if I should get her out of the car seat, but I was in the middle of a busy road. Luckily, she didn't choke. We headed home from there to get a bath and a nap. This evening she seemed to feel better, even ate dinner, and now I have only heard a bit of fussing on the monitor. I hope we have a good night and a normal day tomorrow.
Momma bought her some overalls while we were home and they are so cute! I think we will put them to great use over the coming months, especially while she is crawling around and wearing out the knees.
With her recent increase in mobility, I've had a use "NO" a lot more than ever before. She certainly knows the word, and what it means. She does not like to hear it, but I think the tone is what makes her so sad. I try to reserve its use for more dangerous things, like outlets and climbing out of the highchair. The other day at lunch she was reaching for something on the coffee table from her highchair (and I was sitting right there) and was nearly able to topple out of it. So now she hears "No Lilah, you have to sit on your bottom." After about three times of physically turning her back around and reminding her to sit, she started busting out in the most FAKE cry I've ever heard. She sticks her lip out and does the most pathetic cry. I'll post a video but the face she makes is only in the very beginning. After that she gets distracted by a cat. But when she starts her fake cry, I start laughing (while I am trying to be stern) and then she quits fussing immediately and starts to smile too. Crazy child. Check it out, but it's only the very beginning where she's being goofy.
