Sick baby girl

Oh last night was such a long night. She was stopped up, goopy and poopy. She wouldn't go to sleep at all. Well, she would, just if she was attached to me... literally. I tried to get Jim to take her, but she still cried. She wanted me. Sigh. I was so tired last night. I ended up putting her on me and then propping my body up with pillows. I tried to relax, but it was hard. Eventually I think my body just gave up. I woke up about 4:30 am with her still sucking. :) Nice huh.

I picked her up and then carried her into our room to sleep in the bassinet. She did stay asleep. Thank goodness. She slept in a bit too. I needed her too.

I took her into the doctor this morning to see what was going on. She has a bad cold and diarrhea. That's it. Nothing more. He said to watch her eyes since they were goopy - they could get infected, and make sure she drinks enough. Ok. The one thing I was worried about were her ears - they were great. Whew. We passed that test just fine.

I stayed home with her all day. She slept well for me. We both took a nap in the morning for about an hour. I needed that. Tonight, I watch her sleep in the bassinet again while I sit here and type. Man I love this kid. I need to get some sleep.

FIrst bath in the big girl tub

Tonight, Maddy had an accident in her diaper which caused us to get her straight into the bath. Instead of using the blue tub that fits over the sink, Jim suggested we put her up in the regular tub. I was, of course, nervous. Jim was happy. She did great. I think she really enjoyed it. I got some good pics of her playing with all of Reagan's toys (of course). Reagan came upstairs in the middle of it and she didn't seem too upset with the prospect of Maddy playing with her stuff. She must have been in a sharing mood. :)

No no no

Maddy is really good at shaking her head no!

Bathtime echos

Tonight we gave Maddy a bath and she discovered "echos". I had given her a cup to play with and when she held it up to her mouth, she squealed. She kept doing it over and over again... we think she liked the noise the cup would make. :)

Violin practice

Tonight was the best practice session I had with Reagan yet. She did everything somewhat willingly. I was shocked, but I went with it. I hope she is this excited on Saturday.

Totally not interested in sleep

How come? Tonight, she's not interested in sleeping. We tried putting her in bed, but she wasn't interested. Tried the bassinet. Not interested. Now she's in her exersaucer and having a ball. She's been in it for 20 minutes or so and is sitll going strong. What did I eat or drink that has totally hyped her up?

Food? What now?

So far, we've tried a bunch of stuff. Rice cereal, peas, carrots, sweet potatoes, green beans, and bananas. Nothing has been too exciting for her except the green beans. She loved those. She scarfed down a whole jar of those. She's not been happy with the sweeter things - sweet potatos, carrots and bananas. Tonight, we tried peaches. Shockingly enough, she liked them. Here's to hoping!
