Little Shylee is growing up.
She is such a good baby. Unfortunately she has been sick with different
colds almost all winter. It seems we just start getting her to feel better and
she starts with a runny nose or a cough again. She is a trouper though and
remains pretty happy through most of it. I still haven’t taken her in to get
her 12 month shots yet. She had the appointment, but she was sick so we didn’t
give her the shots. They said to just bring her in any time she felt better. I
have thought I would take her in a couple times, but then she starts sniffling
again. Poor thing. She was up one evening screaming and smacking her ear. I
tried everything to help her calm down. I even took her for a drive in the car
but she still was crying. So then I took her in to the urgent care. She was
feisty and wouldn’t let the doctor get a very good look in her ear but he
thought one looked a little red. He gave us some antibiotics. I gave her one
dose and a little Motrin. She went to sleep that night and woke up the next
morning with no problems at all!! She never had a fever. Needless to say, I
didn’t give her any more antibiotic. No drug works that fast, and I don’t want
her to get them if she doesn’t need them. I am glad she is feeling better, but
it was kinda strange.
She is starting to try to feed herself. Sometimes she is better at it then
others.
She loves yogurt as you can tell. She is a funny girl. She is still taking
a bottle, but I hope to end that soon. She is still waking up in the night,
ususally once or twice. We have a plan to switch her and Kanyon rooms as soon
as she is sleeping better. He is hoping that happens really quickly! Right
now, Miranda and Timber have to walk through his room to get to theirs. Not
ideal for a 10 year old boy! We are working on it!
This little girl is such a joy to have in our home. We love every bit of her
and feel so grateful she is ours!
