Emmie's 1st Illness

Emerson had her first illness this past week. She was fussier than normal on Friday and Saturday and wasn't sleeping/napping well. Her eyes were watery and she was sneezing and coughing (we thought maybe she had allergies--we had the windows open for the first time). She had a slight fever and was really congested during the night on Saturday, so we called her pediatrician's after-hours number and they told us to go to the GRAPES clinic at the children's hospital on Sunday (it's kind of like an Emergency Room just for pediatric patients and they have night and weekend hours) The doctor there informed us that she had a virus, as well as pinkeye and an ear infection! So she got her first bottle of yummy pink amoxicillin and Mom got to stay home with her on Monday. She's doing much better now and we just can't get over how content she was for being that sick. She's such a good girl! Here are some pics from this week:


Just as I snapped this one, she started spitting up...lovely!













She's gotten really good at grabbing toys, hair, jewelry, glasses :-)













I just love her big, beautiful eyes and long eyelashes.












Even her feet are pudgy!
