First Cold

Annabelle got her first cold the day before she turned 8 months. Bummer "birthday." I stayed home with her on Thursday and had already scheduled Friday off so she was with her momma from Thursday to Sunday. She was starting to feel a bit better by Friday, too. She started sleeping through the night again Friday night which was wonderful. Now, if I could've only blocked out the snoring & the dog. lol

She is doing wonderful, outside of her cold, and enjoyed her trip to the Cincy area. She was able to go to the aquarium there & she really enjoyed looking at the fishes. She was way ready to go by the end of it though since she really hadn't had a good nap that afternoon. She did good in the hibachi restaurant. I was a bit scared that she'd freak out but she just slept and then ate during dinner. A couple of times she looked at me with a freaked-out look to see if things were 'ok.' I just smiled at her & cooed with her and she was fine. She's such a big girl.

We both had a good time at Shelly's baby shower on Saturday. She had her first true temper tantrum while we were there (once again, she was tired from not napping well that afternoon) and she knocked my cup right out of my hands. She just REALLY wanted my cup!

I think we're all exhausted today and will take this whole week to catch up on some rest. lol
