March 8, 2011 - Sick Baby, Standing, Mimicker, Holding Bottle

I had 8 hats to make this week. I'm down 3, so 5 more to go! This hat business is keeping me pretty busy!

Bryanna is still sick. Her cough sounds so bad and her nose will not stop running. I took her to the doc. yesterday and she has an ear infection along with the cold. She is such a trooper though. She isn't as cranky as I would be in her situation...she still plays and laughs. She is eating a little less than normal and isn't taking naps as usual but that is expected. We are giving her some amoxicillin (yummy...I loved that stuff as a kid!) and Robitussin (yuck! ...actually Scott loves the stuff, I don't understand that!)

This is what a sick babies hair looks like! :-)
  

She's been interested in holding her own bottle lately. I wasn't looking forward to this day because I love the time we spend together when I feed her. I cherish every moment when I feed her and try to soak it all in and even though I do that, there still isn't enough time. She is growing up way to fast and I can't slow it down!


We were getting a little concerned that Bryanna didn't want to bear any weight on her legs. When we lift her up, she would put her legs in the air at a 90 degree angle, like she is getting prepared to sit, and would hold her legs up like that until we put her down to sit. I remember she would stand up at a couple of months old, but we stopped standing her up, which is maybe why she wasn't interested in it? This past week I have been practicing standing with her and I guess that is all it took because she stands so well now. 

I'm beginning to think that Bryanna is going to skip crawling and go straight to walking. She is perfectly content barrel rolling around the house and spinning around on her belly. She can get to where she wants to go, so she hasn't really tried getting up on her knees. We will see!
