Wow, December is such a busy month. Ava is crawling and getting into way too many things! The other day she pulled a fairy house made of wood onto her head and gave herself a little scratch. It seems like she is always falling over and bumping her head on the floor, the tub, the table... etc. I'm glad babies are invincible! But she cries so badly when it happens I feel so bad.
Now she has a cold too. It is a pretty bad one. She can hardly breathe. At least she has figured out how to breathe through her mouth sometimes. It's when she sleeps and eats that it gets annoying. Last night she had a high temperature of 99.8 and I'm sure she didn't feel very good. She wouldn't let me put her down. We tried to give her a bath and she wasn't liking that so she cried until we got her jammies on and I nursed her to sleep. Once she finally got to sleep she whined a little bit until she fell into a deep sleep. My bladder was so full I couldn't lie with her anymore so I tried to put her down but that just upset her again. I had to hold her all night, poor thing. Her fever broke at around 3:00 in the morning. She seemed much happier today. I hate it when she is sick. Mike hates it when she smiles all sweetly when we know she doesn't feel good. It breaks his heart. Mine too.
She had a doctor's appointment scheduled for today to get her shots but I couldn't see doing that because if she had a reaction I wouldn't know if it was the shot or her cold. She weighed 20.9 lbs and was 27 1/2 inches long. She is still over the 95th percentile which makes us all feel great! Ava's first Christmas is coming up quickly and I still have a lot to do...
