{under the weather}

My sweet girl has not been feeling so good this week. Little baby colds are the pits! She's just been so congested with a super runny nose and a gnarly cough. I hate not being to have the magic fix to take it all away and make her feel better. All we can do is keep her hydrated, rested, and give lots of extra snuggles. Suffice it to say, we haven't done much this weekend. The poor girl hasn't even left the house since Thursday...but she is really starting to seem much better today, so I think it might be time to venture out into the sunshine.

Have I mentioned that little bug has started full on crawling this past week?! Hands and knees...crawling! Before, she would just get a few paces and then fall onto her belly...but now...she's taking off like crazy. I love watching her explore every little nook and cranny of the house...although, it is making us realize how much more baby proofing we really need to do! I love having this cute little girl tugging and pulling at my pants wherever I go...

She has also figured out how to pull herself to the standing position, but she hasn't quite yet figured out how to sit back down. It really makes me laugh...is that bad? I can't help it. Everything she does is cute!! I wonder how long that will last? :)

And one of my favorite things is that she has also finally starting the "m" sound. I'm hearing "mamamama" now! I'm not sure if she's really associating it with me yet, but it really seems like it. For example...if I go into the kitchen and out of her sight for a minute, she will just starting crawling toward me and yelling "mamamamama"....so yeah...it pretty much melts my heart!!

I was able to get out for a little while yesterday afternoon while Zach hung at home with the babe. My mom's group (the girls I met while doing my prenatal yoga class last year) was having a chili party at one of the girls' houses. Husbands and babies were all there too and it was such a great time. I was sad that Lucy and Zach had to miss the fun, but I certainly didn't want to be spreading any of her baby germs. One of the other families was also unable to make it due to being sick...no fun. Something that is fun, however, is that one of the other girls in the group is due in 3 months with baby #2...another girl for the group! It's funny because all of our friends only seem to pop out girls. There have only been a few boys in a sea of girls these past few years. Guess there isn't much boy mojo going on around here :)
