7/18/09...the week of sickness...
This past week has kicked our butts health-wise. It started on Sunday w/my throat feeling a little funny and me trying to ignore the possibility of getting sick, which ended with achiness and going to bed at 7:30pm. I was cold...then hot...then cold, etc. all night. Woke up the next morning definitely with a cold. Then I discovered that L had pink eye and a little bit of a runny nose. L gets better pretty fast. I feel better on Tues & Wed. Then D wakes up Wed. morning with pink eye. Then gets quite the cold by Wed. afternoon. On Thurs. & Fri. I feel worse again, but don't know how much not taking my allergy meds is affecting that (I have allergy testing next week & need to be off meds for a week prior). I don't think L's watched SO much tv in her life...I'm already paying for it when I tell her no tv! By Friday D's cold is much better but his pink eye is the same and now has it in both eyes. After a frustrating morning trying to get his stupid dr. to call in a new prescription for us, he finally gets started on one that afternoon. By Saturday afternoon, we think his new eye drops are working and his eyes are getting better. All this is good since he's supposed to be working at Sharefest tomorrow (where church members volunteer to help out members of our community...our life group is painting someone's mobile home). So PTL that we (the parents) finally seem to be on the mend!

Friday, 9/12/08...doing better...more milestones...
Knock on wood, I think we're doing better today...both with our health and L's crankiness...at least so far. :) Anyone with kids knows that can change in an instant. L still sounds congested and sometimes has a cough. I'm trying to get caught up with things while L's napping since I feel like I've been in a dark whole the last couple of days.
It seems the only way i can get L to sit still long enough to take a pic these days is to strap her into her high chair!
here's her in one of her new "fall" outfits. I had to wash all her 12-18mo. stuff so she could start wearing it since it was fall-like yesterday and today. The pants are borrowed from auntie K and cousin S. The top I got on clearance in January :) You can't tell but it's a pink top with little silver dots on it...too cute!
More milestones... L can now open the doors in the house. We have the lever kind so she stands on her tippytoes and she can just reach the end of the lever and then pulls it down to open it. I discovered this when I was in the bathroom today and she was on the other side of a closed door! lol!
She's also quite proficient at climbing the stairs. She's needs no prodding; she'll just start climbing and won't stop until she's at the top and through the gate.
L would take 3 or 4 baths per day if you'd let her. She's constantly asking for a bath if we're near the bathroom w/the tub.
She can now reach the kitchen table, which I think I mentioned before, but now she can reach her sippy cup on the table and put it back up on the table when she's done.
She's been "using" a spoon for a while now, or at least demands that she has one if I have one, but she is more interested in taking the food from the bowl (that she's managed to get on the spoon) and smear it all over the tray rather than actually put it in her mouth. Yea lots of oatmeal and yogurt all over the place! (I hope you can sense my sarcasm!!)
Yesterday, she got off the couch all by herself. She gets on her tummy and then pushes herself off so she lands on her feet. Ever since I went to my mom's at the beginning of July, we've been turning her around so that she goes off feet first instead of taking faceplants off the couch, as that was her preferred method whether we had a hold of her or not. Apparently, it paid off and now she knows how to do it herself b/c she did it all morning long. Now to figure out how to get her to be able to get onto the couch herself! She's just not quite tall enough.
Yesterday, she stood in the bathtub for quite awhile without any support. I think she's starting to take more risk with that but she's not about to be rushed into anything! She'll only walk holding on to your hands if she wants to; otherwise, she throws a fit and refuses to stand.
