Recovering

K and I are taking it easy today. Nate is preaching today, but we weren't able to make it. K is still recovering and she woke up this morning with her own version of a facial mask. Needless to say, we are quite glad that she is feeling better. Right now she is moving the laundry basket around. I tried to block the television, but she wanted to watch it desperately. The laundry basket was filled with clothes, so she is getting her upper body workout today. Her fever has gone done drastically and she sounds a lot better. You can tell she is not 100 percent, but we are working on it. In the picture above, she is trying to figure out how to make the clowns pop up. She does it on accident most of the time, but she has figured out how to close them on her own. That took some time because she kept trying to hold the clown and close it at the same time. Of course, that meant pinching of fingers, but she has mastered it since then.
Can you tell that she is feeling better? I am trying to teach her not to stick out her tongue, but I think I am obviously failing in that department.
A different outlook on life. Quite dizzying, but she seems to enjoy it.
Our little naked baby. We stripped her down to her diaper because her temperature was so high. As you can see, she was cuddling in this picture. I take it when I can get it because other times she doesn't want to be held for more than a minute. Sick baby equals cuddly baby. Thank goodness we are doing better! Her two top teeth are still coming through, but I don't know when that will happen. By the way, she has just thrown one of her toys in the laundry basket and she can't get to it. She is voicing her great irritation at this. She is trying to pull the whole basket over because she can see it through the holes. How frustrating that must be? Shriners will be this Thursday and hopefully she will be free of the brace. We will keep all of you updated. I better go. K is getting frustrated and needs her toy back. It's not like she doesn't have a gajillion others to choose from!!!

Please Pray for the Sicko

Don't let these pictures deceive you. Our little rose is not doing well. She has been running a high temperature for quite a few hours today. We are giving her motrin and tylenol every other three hours, but it is still a little high. If it doesn't go down by tomorrow we will have to take her to the doctor. Don't know if it is teething or just a cold, but K is feeling puny. In the above pictures, the only way Nate could keep her happy was to give her the cup. She has just been cuddling up and just lethargic. It is horrible to see her feeling so weak. Right now she is cuddling with daddy and if you have ever met her you know she is not a cuddler. Please pray that she will get better. Our big genetics appointment is on Thursday and it would be great for her to be in better shape that day.

The Wonder of It All!

Did you see that? Wow! That sure was weird. (What she sees no one knows)
I am such a happy little girl. I am now working on my third tooth!!! It hasn't been as bad, but then it is just one. So much for the reverse Bugs Bunny.
First experience with mashed potatoes. She wasn't real sure about it, I guess it felt weird in her fingers. We are still fighting some little cold, but now I am not sure if it is the teething instead. Wonders of parenthood!!!

Pictures to Enjoy

Here is one of the only times that K is actually snuggling with me. She isn't one for cuddling so we take it when we can get it. She sure is an independent little girl!
K now knows how to hold her bottle one-handed. She figures everything out. That little hand is so incredibly strong.
Contemplating the wonders of the universe, K has decided that she will stick around with these two weird people. Maybe she can teach them a few things. Doubtful, but she sure is going to try!
