Thanks to the man who saved my daughters life!!

Well we finally made it to California on Wednesday afternoon! WOW!! What a drive I would like to think that we would never have to drive that again but the possibility is very slim..LOL!! LA did as good as could be expected, especially since we have our first tooth coming in! LA and I rode in the back and watch Baby Einstein the WHOLE TIME!! As long as she was happy We all were happy! We stopped in Arkansas for a couple of weeks to spend time with family and friends before heading out here! We had a great time. LA was very spoiled in every way!!

I am also writing this to the man who saved my daughters life! Brian Beckham from Station 8 in Fort Smith, Arkansas. LA went to lunch with her Mimi(Aunt Emily) while I had a hair appointment. They were sitting eating lunch and Emily had giving LA a Biter Biscuit. She loves those things and we usually give her one while we eat so she won't feel left out! Emily did just as we have always done. Some how LA bit off a big piece and the little girl who was with Emily saw her do it. Emily didn't realize that is was that big of a piece until she saw LA try and swallow it. Emily immediately raised up her arms and said "She's choking". As she raised her arms the piece got lodged farther in her throat. There just happened to be some firefighters sitting right next to them and Brian heard Emily and jumped up and ran over pulled LA up from her seat, turned her upside down hit her on the back and a little piece fell out and then hit her again and the rest came out! It amazes me how God works in weird ways. The guys had actually been called out and left for something and then came back and sat down just about the time that she choked! We did not get by to thank him in person as we headed out to California the next day. We plan on sending him something but haven't figured out what just yet!! I do not know how to thank this man enough for saving our baby's life. If any of you know him or happen to run into them please give him a big hug and a thank you from us! Needless to say the Biter Bars are in the trash!! LA is great and we are so thankful and thank God everyday for Brian!!

Okay so now I know that I missed putting LA's 10 months posting..She's doing soooo much now crawling all over the place, dancing, pulling up and cruising on everything! She has been great through this whole transition. She has stayed on her schedule the whole time even with the time difference. This was the one thing that I thought that we would struggle with but she has proved us wrong!! LA also has her first tooth coming through and is doing great!! I will post pictures later. We won't be moving into our house until Aug. 6 or 7th so I won't have access to pictures until then!!
