| Rosy cheeks in the midst of the fever! |
Well we have officially become a family with a baby in daycare! We got our first call from daycare on Friday telling us to come pick Adelyn up because she had a temperature of 101.4. I was dreading this day, but I knew it was coming. We decided to take her to the doctor at 4pm on Friday - knowing full well if we didn't she would be sicker than sick all weekend. Her temp was going up with Tylenol, but she was acting just fine. She was cooing and talking to the nurses, smiling and playing with the doctor, and overall not acting sick at all. That pretty much summed up our weekend with "sick" Adelyn. Her fever didn't really break until this morning. We thought she was getting better yesterday so we made a quick trip to Sioux City and met Grandma A. and Aunt Chrissy, but when we got back she had a little bit of a fever again. Good news is no more fever this am, and nothing but cuddle and playtime with mommy for a few days this week! Well cuddle time will be extra careful because I woke up with a scratchy throat yesterday morning. So the infamous spreading of the illness is currently happening in our home. Hopefully daddy doesn't succumb to the temptation of extra attention, I mean not feeling well! It's funny how Adelyn can be so warm with rosy cheeks and still trying to see how loud she can make her voice or how far she can roll around. The only bad part of the weekend was our short fuses. Tim and I were pretty snippy with one another since our patience was tested. Adelyn wanted to eat every two hours and didn't want to take a nap. Which all made for a cranky, tired baby and an exhausted set of parents. Although it is hard to stay upset at someone when in the middle of bickering Adelyn sits in her swing with a concentrating stare - make a nice project for Mommy and Daddy to work together on to clean up. Adelyn definitely has a way of lightening the mood! Overall the weekend was a success, and we are all starting to get back to feeling better. Now just trying to enjoy the healthy, happy Adelyn until the next virus decides to show his ugly face.

| So sleepy - she is on her noisy book! |
Even though Adelyn was sick this weekend, she still managed to conquer a milestone. She decided to sit unsupported in a tripod sit - with her hands helping her balance. She did a couple of face plants in the carpet before sitting by herself. I'm sure before no time she will start crawling. Our little baby is growing up!
