Day 121: February 15
Day 122 – February 16
Sigh . . . another breathing treatment . . .
And some probitioics to replenish the damage the antibiotic most likely did to the healthy gut flora we had established with nursing.
Day 123 – February 17
I think your picture is on my phone!
Day 124 – February 18
Your brothers wore this sleep-n-play . . . so I had to put you in it . . . once.
Day 125 – February 19
Day 126 – February 20
Day 114: February 8
Day 115: February 9
Day 116: February 10
Day 117: February 11
You never know when a sudden snowstorm might occur . . . in your house.
Day 118: February 12
The start of a very bad cold . . . called pneumonia.
Day 119: February 13
Your breathing had become quite labored . . . we quickly got in to see Swathi and she almost sent us to the children’s hospital. Fortunately, due to the comfort you have found in nursing, you were well hydrated.
In hindsight, I would have diffused an essential oil called R.C. early on in your cold, ran the humidifier, and applied GOOT.
(Blend the above 3 ingredients and store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.)
And I might have relented and given you both Colloidal Silver and a probiotic. A more gentle choice than the antibiotic you ended up ingesting.
Day 120: February 14
And yet you still remained happy and pleasant.
Day 111: February 5

The day of the photo shoot. The day you received your Nana blanket.

I think this day is on a phone . . .

Day 103: January 28
Jay and Emily and family came to visit us during the Monster Truck Show . . . lucky us! It was a GREAT time of fellowship.
Emily enjoyed holding you!
Day 104: January 29
Day 105: January 30
Day 102: January 27
I purposefully have been standing doing my computer work, because I thought you would wake up soon. And superstitiously (not really) I thought that IF I sat down to blog you would wake up.
I just sat down.
Guess what?
You just woke up.
Well, we discovered why you had such inflammation . . . eczema on your face, or rather your cheeks and at the corners of your eyes.
You had been given some clothes (of which I was very excited about). BUT they were washed in some STRONG smelling detergent that reeked of some artificial perfume.
Like your brothers, and your mother, your skin has ZERO tolerance for said chemical rubbing up against your skin.
Hence . . . irritated cheeks from sleeping on gifted sheets and that later resulted in infected skin near your eyes from the continual moisture . . . not that you cry a lot. But eyes are moist.
Don’t worry. Mama got you another new minky bed sheet and Nana got you some new clothes since you have grown quite a bit!
Yea . . . when you went to the doctor you were in the 95%. Not that I pay much heed to that chart . . . still an interesting fact, though.
15 pounds at 4 months. Go girl!

Day 100: January 25
Day 101: January 26
Let’s just say that Ruthie loves you. Or she likes to lick you. Your hands and your mouth are her favorite things to lather. Sorry. I try to protect you.
And you . . . you she never nips at. She is never the “Singing Alligator” to you that she is to us!
