Sick baby

It's been a rough week here. Last week Hallie started getting a little grumpy, and when her nose started running I figured she was just teething again. But then things got worse, and one night Hallie refused to stop screaming. She was up till 11, slept for two hours, and then my awesome husband slept with her on the couch so I could get some sleep. Love that man! The next day she was still really cranky and started pulling on her ears. By the time we decided to take her in to the doctors it was past normal hours, but our pediatrician office is so great and they have after hours for no extra charge if you are a patient. So we walked over (we seriously live right next door) and got it confirmed that Hallie had a double ear infection. So she's been on amoxicillon and doing so much better. She still has such a hard time breathing, I feel so bad for her. I try to keep giving her saline spray and using the bulb syringe to get stuff out but she fights me. So we just propped up her mattress (so white trash ha) and do the best we can to keep her happy!

I finally realized this weekend that my little girl is becoming not so little anymore. I know she still seems like a baby to most, and there are still so many years and milestones to look forward to; but this weekend I got my first look at how big she has gotten in the last nine months. They have flown by. I havent been able to snuggle with her since she was about 3 or 4 months because she's been so active, but yesterday she was pretty clingy and I saw how she just doesnt fit the way she used to. She's walking along the furniture, she loves her independency being able to crawl into one room then into the next. She's just growing up so fast!

Yesterday we got family pictures done with Allisabeth Jackson Photography (go like her on Facebook). I am so excited to see them! Hallie, of course, was a little on the grumpy side and wouldnt smile much but I loved having our first family session and Beze does amazing work!

It is getting so.hot. here. I dont know what happened to spring, but Im not ready for summer. The heat is hard to handle when we ease into it, but its dang right rediculous when it shows up after winter and sticks around. Luckily the pool at our complex is newly remodeled and we're going to take full advantage of it!
