Molly's First Sickness

Brody went 14 months before he got sick for the first time. And, of course, that was one week after he started daycare. I, of course, knew that it would probably be hard for Molly to avoid getting sick especially with Brody hanging around and bringing home all the germs from daycare. Well....we made it 9 months before her first sickness and this one kicked her butt. It started last week. She had a runny nose for a couple of days, but I assumed it was just allergies since Ted's allergies were bad and so were Brody's well. Well, last Saturday, I made an appointment to get their pictures taken and she seemed to be fine during the session. Well, that afternoon, this is what she looked like!

Even as sick as she was, she was still smiling and laughing. The next couple of days she was miserable and started to run a fever. I scheduled an appointment for Tuesday afternoon. Well, turns out, her doctor said that essentially, everything from her neck up was infected. She had an ear infection, her eyes were infected, and she had a sinus infection. Luckily, her chest was fine. Well, she was given an antibiotic, and by the next day, she was looking and feeling SOOOO much better. It was crazy how fast she started to recover. So, now she is basically back to normal. Thank Goodness. So I guess I am lucky that she made it 9 months before getting sick for the first time.

Not much else has been going on. My big project finally shipped and I was off last week from Wednesday to Friday. I was able to focus on cleaning the house, which was extremely overdue so I was glad that I was able to get that done. Now, I am leaving tomorrow for a couple of days for a 2-day work training. I will be back late Wednesday night so it is daddy daycare at our house for the next couple of days.

I had to post the following video because it cracks me up. Molly has been crawling for a while now but she has sometimes struggled to crawl when she is wearing a dress. This is how she has overcome that struggle. And she is pretty fast with it too.....

Here are a few other pictures.....
