Baby face!

So my little girl is not so little anymore. She has lost all her baby fat and is now a toddler. I'm really liking this new phase, she is active and mobile and INCREDIBLY independent. I have never seen so much spunk, attitude and curiosity in one little girl (then again i never saw myself as a child and i'm pretty sure i was the exact same way).  She is SO goofy and funny.

i could honestly brag and talk about my no-longer-a-baby girl all day. I'm sure that would get old though and not everyone would enjoy that as much as me.

So things have been crazy around here. i picked up a part time seasonal job at a retail store that i am a big fan of. Between that and Cecelia my plate is full.

Poor Chi Chi (that's the nickname that has been adopted for her) has been sick. It's thrown all of us off and even gotten me sick too! The poor baby has enough to fight off daily with her allergies being crazy sensitive. When she gets sick (as we found out) her body is unable to fight of sickness and allergies at the same time. So as a result she has had hives for a week now that wont go down and benedryl wont help relieve. Also, after talking with the doctor he explained that Cecelia will have issues other kids dont when she is sick. because he immune system is ALWAYS running half speed or more to fight off her allergies when she gets sick she is likely to get sicker faster than the average kiddo. On top of getting sick quickly her small common colds can cause fever, rash, itchy skin and infections becuase it spurs allergic reactions.

So cecelia has two ear infections and was starting to form bronchitis. normally the dr. would have just given her something for the ear infections but since she is likely to get sicker faster he didn't want it to turn into pneumonia. So she got antiobiotics for all three infections.

She is still fighting it, but at least her skin has cleared up. And the illness has made her super sleepy and cuddly. i love the cuddles but i hate getting them because she is sick.

So yeah, i work at 4 or 5 am 2-3 times a week, have a sick baby who wants constant attention and a house that is being deep cleaned to help sick-o girls immune system.

is it next week yet?
