sick and 13 months

What a week this has been.
Since my migraine a few weeks ago I have had mild cold symptoms - stuffy head, runny nose, etc. Nothing too bad, just enough to make you feel blah.

Last weekend R got sick (and we all know how it is when men are sick). He has been sick all week with a bad head/chest cold. Which he was kind enough to share with Lexi.

My poor baby is coughing and sneezing and you can hear her breathing. We have done all the 'usual' treatments of humidifier, hanging out in the steamy bathroom, tyleno.l for her low fever and the doc gave us some samples of 'all natural' cough syrup (which she hates despite the assurance that it is "yummy"). She is very snuggly - and while I love the extra snuggles, I don't love the reason for them.

And now I am getting worse symptoms as well :( I think it is going to be a long weekend in bed.

On a lighter note - Lexi turned 13 months on Thursday! I cannot believe I am the mommy of a 13 month old. She keeps us on our toes as she is running all over the place and climbing on everything in sight. Pretty sure she is going to give me a heart attack one of these days...kid is FAST! At the dr yesterday she weighed in at 24 lbs.

She hasn't really added many new words - she still prefers "that" and "dada" to refer to anything and everything. She has started saying "brrrr" when you ask her if it is cold out. So cute. Now she will look outside and say brrr...even when it isn't cold. Makes me smile every single time. I don't think I could possibly love this girl any more than I already do....and then she does something that makes my heart swell. She will give hugs and kisses now on request and loves to hug her toys. Last night, she pulled my shirt up over my tummy and we "talked" about the baby in there and I asked her if she wanted to kiss the baby and she did. My heart nearly burst.

Weaning is .... going. She still indicates that she wants to nurse quite often and I am trying to limit it to only certain times. She usually wants to when she is upset or tired. Of course, with her being sick she is wanting to more often, which I am allowing because her interest in 'real' food right now is pretty low. When she was feeling good she was eating like a champ - I can't believe how much food she can eat!

That is it for now - hope you all have a nice weekend!
