Snots, an ear infection and....a toothie.

Phew, the longest week of Baby Olivia's life is finally over. The poor little monkey starting coming down with what we thought was just a little cold on Sunday, a temp of 99 and a running nose, but she appeared to feel fine. Well Monday morning was a different story, her temp had crept up to 101 and she was coughing her little face off. YaYa kept her at home on Monday. Leigh was on Olivia duty Monday night, and spent the majority of the night sleeping on the couch with Liv in her arms (sounds comfy right?) and at about 6am her temp had peaked at 103.5 so of as soon as the Pediatrician's office opened Leigh called and took her in right away...and just as we thought, her first ear infection. So a few days of Leigh and Brad working from home and YaYa keeping her on the off days when they couldn't stay home, she was out of daycare all week. It wasn't until Friday morning that Leigh checked in her mouth to see if we had any progress as far as teething goes, keep in mind she had been drooling for months, but no signs of an actual tooth, but much to Leigh's surprise one of her bottom middles had popped through and the other was on its way.

So what a week!! Despite her infection and crazy amount of congestion she has learned to laugh, and by laugh we don't mean giggle, she actually goes "Ha ha ha ha", sometimes in a deep voice you would expect from an old man...its adorable. Now she pushes buttons on her toys, the music starts to play, she bounces up and down on her bottom and she laughs.

On a side note, Leigh is getting her hair cut on Wednesday and cannot wait!!!
