Ava turned 14 months old this week. I can't believe how fast time is flying by. Everyday is something new and I always wonder how she learned "that". She listens and understands most of what we say. The other day I was trying to tell her to get a block that was behind her so I said "turn around Ava",and she started turning in circles. It made me laugh. The other day she was trying to play with the plug that is next to our TV and I told her "no, boo-boo owie" and she curled her lip and made a "cry face" and tried to cry, but couldn't, so she faked it. I have never laughed so hard in my life.
Well, we made it 14 months without any colds or sicknesses until now. Ava has her first cold and it has been really hard on all of us. She was up most of the night on Wednesday night. We had to get her up around 2 am and watched Baby Einsteins videos until she tired again. She coughs and chokes on her snot that is draining down her throat. She had a temperature of 100.6 for about a day, but this morning it has seemed to have broken. We went to the doctor yesterday and he thought maybe strep, but it came back negative. We are just trying to get a lot of fluids in her. She doesn't really want to eat or drink. She is currently living off of puffs because they are bland enough for her. All that mucus in her stomach made it hard in the beginning to keep anything down. So until she is ready to eat, that is what we will keep feeding her and LOTS of water. I hope she feels better soon. It is so hard to watch her be sick. Mike and I are getting a lot of holding time in and today she seems to feel a little better because she is not crying as much. Poor munchkin!
