11 Months and another Tooth

Maya turned 11 months on the 22nd and she started walking around everywhere that day. When we were taking pictures with her bear she refused to let it sit up. She would knock it down and/or throw it every time we tried to sit it by her. Then she tried to pull the sheets down. After she succeeded, she pulled up on the chair that was supporting them and walked away. We didn't get too many pictures with all this.

On the 24th, Maya and I went to the library for storytime then out to lunch with some of the other moms. We enjoyed it and hopefully will have the opportunity to do it again soon. After lunch we went grocery shopping. By the time we made it home, I felt a backache coming on. I assumed I would have some pain for a couple of days and then be fine again like last month. But by Friday, it was still getting worse. Derek and I joked that I was going to be one of those people pain medicine seeking people that go to the er in the middle of the night for a backache that they've had all week. If it weren't for Maya, I probably would have been in search of something. I thought that there really isn't much they can give me while I'm nursing. Instead, per my mom's suggestion, I found a chiropractor instead. I had to wait until today to get in so I spent all weekend moaning and puffing. Maya started mocking me. It was pretty funny. Apparently I have some discs misbehaving. I'm sporting a stylish brace and ice packs. Thankfully, I'm feeling some relief already. I'm looking forward to being able to get down and play with Maya again and being able to pick her up without pain. Maya and Derek spent the morning rocking out to some music. Maya has apparently learned to dance.

On the 29th, her fourth tooth finally cut through. Her sleep still hasn't really improved. Poor Derek has been getting up with her a lot more the last week since I've been in so much pain.
