…or maybe not

Not so much with the "down pat". I don't think there was anyone on the other end of that phone call :).

I think….

…she's got this nebulizer thing down pat!

Friday Hi

Feeling Better

Miss Penny slept throughout this morning (we were woken but the alarm and not her) and I was greeted with a smile when I went in to get her. She drank almost all her milk on the way to Daycare, and was so excited to go to Ana's. Her eyes lit up when I mentioned Ana and Mimi to her :). It's boring home with Mommy.

And I got this photo from Ana this morning:

I think she's feeling better.

Sickie: February 2014 Edition

Poor Penny has been sick the past couple of days. It started on Monday evening, with a slight temp but other than the number on the thermometer she seemed fine. She has had a cough on and off for the whole winter and it has ramped up.

She woke up crying around 6 on Tuesday morning which is unusual as she usually stays in bed until average 7:30, and it is not accompanied by tears. We could tell she was definitely not right so we decided I would stay home and we'd get her in to see the doctor.

While at home before the doctors, appointment she actually feel asleep on my while we were watching TV. That is a sign that she is not well. She has also been eager to go down for her naps, answering "uh huh" when she's asked if she wants one.

The doctor listened to her chest and said she heard a slight wheezing, but not enough to get a chest X-ray (apparently pneumonia is going around, too). So she's back on the nebulizer 3 times a day. Should also help with her cough because I think that is a lot of what is upsetting Penny.

Gabe took morning duty today with her at home while I went to the office, and then we switched in the afternoon. She seemed a bit better when I arrived and we even had a bath, which I am sure made her feel better too.

We're hoping she's on her way to a recovery. Winter cold and flu season is no fun :(.

Future Architect?

Penny built this all be herself:


It's her first solo build- quite impressive, I'd say.

Home Movies

When we saw my Dad in Maryland over Christmas he gave to me the home movies we have on VHS. My plan is to convert them to DVD, but in the meantime I'm glad we still have my old VHS player in our bedroom, because Monday morning (Gabe was home due to President's Day) we all hung out on our bed and watched some of them.

It was amazing to see the resemblance between Penny and me as a baby. Not to mention the striking similarities between my mom and myself. I'm so glad we have these so Gabe can also see my mom in action and not just photos. I need to get the few more recent ones Dad has that have sound…. now that will be something special.

I'm sure Penny doesn't understand that these are from when her Mommy was her age but I hope when she gets older she'll want to watch with us (unlike me when I was a kid, "sorry Dad").
