A Little Bug

Our little Lily Bug has caught a little cold bug. I went into the CBU yesterday to help out so Kevin stayed and worked from home. She looks happy but it only lasts for about an hour. We introduced the soft top sippy cup last night. Because of the fever I wanted to make sure she stayed hydrated. She is still nursing well so I am not worried. She mostly used the cup as a teething toy.

The picture above was as we were getting ready to go to a friends house last night for dinner. We never made it. She proceeded to have a coughing fit, gagged, and spit up most of her last feeding.

This was after gagging all over me 15 minutes before. So I had changed my outfit, and now I needed to change her pjs. Once changed, she proceeded to have a very disgusting diaper and although no leaks, she didn't want to get undressed again. I had to call last minute to cancel our plans.

One (and probably the only) good thing about my independent little girl being sick is that she becomes a cuddler. Lily has never been a great cuddler. She falls asleep in her crib; that's it. She doesn't like to be rocked. She doesn't want to be held. She wants to spread out and go to sleep on her own. So to our delight, she simply wants to be held, put her head down, and suck her thumb; something normally reserved for bedtime only.

Another thing new today is her Eskimo kisses. She would lean in to put her forehead to Daddy's, and simply touch noses, a giant smile on her face. She did this over and over. She initiated and we have never seen her do this before. It melted my heart. It was simply precious and I was slightly jealous that it was with Daddy and not me.

Of all weekends, it was a pretty good choice to get sick. We have no plans for this three day weekend due to the rain. We have napped, cuddled, had soup, and watched lots of movies. Unfortunately, I, too, got sick last night, and Kevin is on his way to getting the cold. Yay! for family bonding.
