Emma has had a tough time kicking her double ear infection. We had to take her back to the doctor - AGAIN . He said that the antibiotic (which was the second one) wasn't working and that Emma would have to have a series of three high dose shots of antibiotic. I took her Monday and Wednesday and Nana and Papa took her Friday. She is feeling much better and is back to her normal, happy self. We do have to go back to the doctor in two weeks because he wants to make sure that her ears are all clear of infection. This will also be her 9 month regular checkup (even though she is almost 11 months) as we have had to keep pushing the appointment back due to the doctors schedule and Emma continually being sick. They don't want to give her regular immunizations when she is on antibiotic and already not feeling well. She had a great time spending time with Nana and Papa and showing them all of her new tricks - including dumping out her toy basket and throwing each toy across the room.
Jay and I had a great time in Vegas. It was the first vacation with just the two of us since our honeymoon over 5 years ago! We stayed at MGM which was very nice. Jay played a lot of poker and I layed by the pool, did some shopping and played the slot machines. We both felt bad for the poor economy in Vegas and decided to leave a little money behind as our own stimulus package.
We did go to the David Copperfield show which was amazing! Jay even got to go up on stage with him!! They asked Jay before the show if he would be willing and he said yes. They took him backstage to show him what he would be doing. Basically he helped to prove to the audience that this clear box on stage was indeed a box and had all 6 sides. He had to imitate David and tap all the sides. They also gave hime a red tie to wear and David asked to borrow it. He made the tie dance on end to the music and dance inside the box. We even inspected the tie ahead of time to see if it was normal. We think he had to change the tie out as some point but still don't have any idea how he did it. He made cars and motorcycles magically appear. I would definately recommend it to anyone headed to Vegas.
One of my favorite things in Vegas is the gardens inside Bellagio. They are beautiful - see the pics below. I also love the chocolate fountain and the amazing looking pastries at the Jean Phillipe chocolate shop in Bellagio. After a couple days away and after losing my money I was extremely homesick for Emma. I really missed her and couldn't wait to give her a big squeeze and kiss. It didn't help that she was sick and had to go to the doctor without me. I just wanted to be with her to comfort her after her shot. Anyway, it was great to see her when we got home. Jay and I both thought that her two bottom teeth grew quite a bit while we were gone. Isn't that weird to notice teeth growing in just 4 days?

Lets get that 11 month photo into the blog babe. At least before I come to visit. I have just figured out how to make a photo from the internet that I can post on the frdge. I am getting damn sick of looking at the one from sweetest day or what ever it was back in February.
