8 months old! What is this little 8 month old up to these days? She wants so badly to take off crawling & will any day now. She knows she wants to pull up on everything, but still only pulls up on me when I'm sitting by her on the floor. She loves to take a bath & splash water. She loves watching Addison play. She loves being outside. She loves books. She loves to babble. It's so exciting to watch her do everything.
Alyssa has been cranky the last few days with a low-grade fever. I was hoping it was just teething, but this morning her temp spiked to 102. I gave her ibuprofen at 7 & called our pedi at 8:30. Unfortunately, our pedi is out of the office today & tomorrow, so I had to make an appointment with the on-call pedi. I called them at 8:30 & was grilled on how I got the number, what number I was given, who gave me the number.....all of this to then be told that they don't start scheduling appointments until 9 & I would need to call back then. I was ready to give the receptionist some attitude, but I tried to play nice since I really needed Alyssa to see the pedi. I called back at 9:01 & she told me to be there at 10, but expect a long wait because were going to work Alyssa in between appointments. I packed up the house & off we went. Thank goodness we got there when we did. It was standing room only 10 minutes after we got there. We got called back about 10:30 & seen by the dr at 10:40. It was much smoother than what I expected since the receptionist made it sound like I should pack a lunch to be there all day. Alyssa weighs 17.11 pounds & is 27 inches! She has an ear infection & is starting to get congested. The pedi prescribed ear drops, antibiotics & decongestant. We have to follow-up with our pedi in 10 days to make sure the antibiotics are working.
Addison wasn't the patient today, but she
certainly didn't sit back & not get any attention!

Sick little angel
Last night, we went to a retirement party for Blake's boss. Someone snapped this picture of this awesome little family! The girls were fantastic! There was a moment when someone was giving a speech & the room was very quiet - until Addy said in the sweetest voice 'Dada, I love you' & gave him a hug. She made friends with everyone & so did Alyssa.
