Let the Fun Begin

Oh boy, I know I jinxed my self this time!  I was just saying how healthy my baby has been these past 8 months...  Well, she ended up having a double ear infection on Tuesday!  YUCK.  Ryah had been really fussy all weekend and had a rough night on Monday.  When we got up on Tuesday, we knew something just wasn't right with our little girl.  All she wanted to do was cuddle and sleep on my chest.  Thankfully Dr. McCann was able to squeeze Ryah in to her schedule- so we spent the morning at the Doctor's office.  Grandma Goolsby was able to come over and snuggle with Ryah for a couple hours so Matt and I could go to work.  By that evening and after her first dose of antibiotics, Ryah was somewhat back to her spunky self. 

Attempt at feeding herself- not even sure if 1 bite made it to her mouth

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

Playtime with Daddy

On Saturday, Ryah was still suffering from a nasty cough and runny nose.  I brought her back to the doc just to re-assure myself that she was getting better.  The ear infection is clearing up, but she has a "mild" case of RSV.  The doc said to keep her indoors over the weekend and to keep an eye on her, and if she gets worse to call right away.  I don't even want to say it... but "So far, so good"

8 months old

Wow where has the time gone?  Our baby is now 8 months old!  It is so hard to believe that my little girl doesn't like to cuddle anymore (sniff, sniff) but maybe that will return someday.  We don't see Dr. Andresen until she is 9 months- so I don't have any measurements- other than she is a big girl! 

Over the past month Ryah has made a few new discoveries:
-Loves to clap her hands
-Laughs out loud when she is playing with Jessie
-Loves anything electronic (I even bought her a plastic cell phone, but I couldn't fool her)
-Continues to army crawl from point A to B, but does it much more quickly now!
-Loves to eat
-Loves all the attention everyone gives her

You would have thought I learned a lesson the first time this happened- but no... I thought there was no way this could happen twice.  Tonight after undressing Ryah and getting her ready for her bath, I set her down on
the bathroom rug, naked, and started to run the water... low and behold- she peed on my rug!  I think I finally learned my lesson after having to wash my rug twice in one week!
