First Cold

This week Elizabeth has her first cold. She started getting congested on Tuesday and by Thursday it had developed into a full blown head cold with a cough. She and I had very little sleep this week, but by the weekend and help from daddy we were all catching up. On Thursday I asked Grammy and Grandpaw to be her caregivers since I knew she'd probably have to leave Miss Sonia's early due to her runny nose and developing fever. Fortunately on Friday we had her 4 month wellness check and were able to have her looked at by her doctor as well as her checkup. She now weighs in at 14.5 lbs and is 25" long. Since birth she's gained 8.5 lbs and grown 6.5". I went through her "larger" clothes because a lot of her 3 month clothes were getting tight. I found a couple things that are already too small that she never wore - oh well. New clothes are in the drawers now.




This week Elizabeth's new trick is to read the paper. She preferred the Toys R Us ad over the Jo Ann's. Actually she just wads it up and drools on it but she has such a great time! She also loves to grab at things and put them in her mouth. I think her stamp of approval is chewing on whatever she finds. She typically likes to chew on fingers. I'm doing A LOT of hand washing!

Snow can be seen on the moutains, so our weather has turned cold. I think its actually warmer in Indiana today than Tucson. I think we are forecasted for the 50's this week!
