An Eventful Week

This past week presented a new challenge to both Lia and us as new parents: Lia got her first cold and ear infection. Being in the daycare environment, we knew this was inevitable. An average baby gets 6-8 colds a year. Lia started coughing and then all the other cold symptoms followed. When we took her to the doctor on Thursday they discovered she also has an ear infection. Fortunately we got her there before the fever spike hit. Now she is on antibiotics and appears to be improving overall. She does, however, produces several blow-out runny BM's during the day!


Don't hate me because I am beautiful.


I can grab things!

Ok, this is not funny anymore.

Lia is 3 Months Old!

Lia enjoying some tummy time. She likes to look in the mirror, stick her tongue out, and take baby steps on her legs. She is starting to get more use of her hands. The other night she grabbed her binky and threw it over her head. She is also moving around a lot more. We have to strap her in the chair or she would just kick and slide off.

I went back to work on Jan. 2 so Lia started daycare on the same day. Granted, this is not the ideal time because it's just after the holidays and she got off her routine when we were traveling. But my 12 weeks maternity leave is up and I have to go back. And now we are throwing her into a whole new routine. I am happy to say, though, she is adjusting well. Her evening routine has not been disrupted and she continues to eat and sleep well. The people there are really nice and I think it will work out fine.

New Year's Eve

We celebrated NYE with the Schmidts and Wilsons at Golden Harvest Restaurant. It was also Rich's B-Day. Now that we all have little ones, the night began at 6 and ended at 9. No one was interested in coming back for a nightcap!







Everything was yummy!
