Sick Baby Girl

Lucy has come down with a really horrible cold. She is hacking away and the snot is flowing constantly. She has her moments, but she is being a really great sport about feeling so crummy. On top of that, her teeth are still so clearly driving her crazy. She is drooling more than I have ever seen her drool. The second molar has come through, so she has both bottom molars and I can still feel the top ones, but they are not broken through. We both stayed in our pjs all day today. I hope she starts feeling better really soon.

Lucy had a really hard time while we were in Nashville. She was just not herself most of the time we were there. She was really fussy and clingy and slept terrible, to say the least. I don't know if she was overwhelmed by all of the activity that was going on or if she was just unsure of being in a new environment but whatever it was, she was not herself. She has gone right back to normal now that we are back at my parents, which she definitely considers her second home. I think that she is going to be someone who really has a hard time in loud and crowded situations. I am so used to loudness because in my family it is hard to get a word in edge wise. I need to remember that she might have a very different personality from what is the norm for me, and that is perfectly okay. I do hope that she will have an easier time since it is family, and we all want her to feel comfortable, but it is going to take her quite a bit more time to feel that comfort level, and again, I have come to the realization that this is okay.

She has some more words. She can say fish and shoes clearly now. I can understand when she says thank you and bless you - and most realize what she is saying, but it is not perfectly clear. She will try and say lots of other things - like dog, Bentley, Bailey, and Phoebe. I love watching her vocabulary expand. It is so neat.

Here are some pictures from today and a few from our last days in Nashville. Wyatt is doing so well and I miss him already.

This is a sequence of Lucy feeding Bianca her Goldfish - here she is laying a trail to lure Bianca in

Still able to get a smile despite not feeling so well
