18 months and Germs Galore

Our baby is a year and a half, wowza! I cant believe how quickly time goes by. She is still quite the little sponge. She still has lots of very long conversations (most of which you cant understand) but throws in some real words in there on occasion. I think she can say aout 20 words total (I should say most of her words get the first two letters of each word). For example water is wawa, dance is dadan (with is always accompnied by some sweet dance moves), mom-mom, dada, Hulk (HU), emma, sam, elmo, barney (BAee), up, duck, hop, hot, light, yes, no, stop, dog, apple, orange (Oung), nana, papa, she also continues to use signs for things that she cannot yet say such as milk, please, thank you, more, sorry, eat, spoon.
She loves to play with her kitchen and pretend food. She cooks and talks on the phone and has a great imagination. She mixes pretend things up and eats pretend food. It is so fun to watch her imagination grow. She also loves her babies and feeding them, pushing them in the stroller and giving them rubs on the back. She also loves buidling blocks and legos and loves animals. Instead if saying the animal names she just makes the noise of the animal. She loves to look for the geese in the sky and wave to them as they fly by, airplanes, and trains. She is just a funny funny gal and has brought more joy to me in a year and a half than I have ever had in my entire life. She is a joy to be around and continues to surprise us with new things everyday.


Sick eyes

Popsicles at the Doctor, still not so happy

Couch Lovin, shes mad that I needed to get up and go to the bathroom

Cant even keep her sweet eyes open, p.s. look at that awesome couch staticed hair!

Getting out of the house for a quick wagon ride

Starting to brighten up, at least for 10 minutes of bath time.
The thing is the poor baby hasnt been her smiling loving self in over a week. Unfortunately daycare has really gotten the brunt of her immune system. She had a fever, nasty cough and running nose starting friday. The fever persisted through tuesday. We went to the doctor on monday and she got antibiotics for an ear infection on top of a respiratory virus. So we literally have been holed up for days snuggled together watching barney and other various dance videos. She gets about a ten to fifteen minute happiness or playfullness every 4 hours or so, but otherwise she really is completely out of comission. I took off monday and stayed with her but had to go back to work today and she spent the whole day on the couch at daycare still very slowly recupperating from her illness. Poor thing got hit hard this time. Needless to say it is breaking my heart. I hate seeing my sweet girl feel so sick and also so helpless. Im ready for my sweet baby girl to be back to feeling like her playful, energetic self. OUr unborn child is also hoping for a germless house in the very near future, YIKES! Winter babies freak me out, ugh. Anyway this is just a small glimpse into what Sick looks like on us.
