Waving

Jacie is getting better at waving now. I was walking into Hallmark today pushing Jacie in her stroller, and a lady going into the neighboring store said, "Awww, how sweet. She just waved to me!" That's our little social butterfly!!!

Cinco de Mayo

Jacie and Mama have enjoyed spending our day off together. Jacie was in the Cinco de Mayo spirit in her fabulous Mexican dress from Jane!!!

Tired Baby

Jacie has slept a lot in attempt to recover from all her ailments this week.

Feeling a little better

As the day goes on, it looks like Jacie is recuperating. While I was putting away her laundry I found that she decided to forgo the toys, (as usual), and play with Harley. We're so thankful for our patient dog who has already been "bam-bammed" on countless times.

If you get any suspicious calls...

...we may know the culprit. Jacie has started mimicking things like the dog's bark and Mama talking on the phone. She's learning so much, although it does appear that she's happy with her current mode of transportation-- scooting/spinning/pulling-- and she's not going to crawl. We laugh about her being on "spin cycle" when she gets in the bathtub. She's usually done about 5 or 6 full spins before she's finished getting bathed. We love our little angel!!

Fun at H2

Jacie took another trip to H2 and had a great time. She even let Mama and Daddy do some fishing!! It was great to have her in the great outdoors again....and the camo hat that Uncle Bradley bought her a long time ago is actually starting to fit. She has really grown!!!

Rough Week

Our poor little Jacie has had a rough 7 days. It all started last Saturday with pink eye. We managed to get her into the doctor on Sunday morning, and then we had the wonderful opportunity of attempting eye drops!!! As if that wasn't enough fun, after a restless night on Tuesday, Jacie's daycare called on Wednesday and told us that her temperature was 102.3. It turns out she had an ear infection, and like the last time, she apparently has a virus, too!!! That was no fun to realize in the midst of all this Swine Flu chaos!!! So, for 3 days her temperature oscillated between 100.6 and 103.7 only to be slightly relieved by the single drop of Motrin we probably got in her after the WWF Wrestling Match. We're hoping that the amoxicillin has taken care of the ear infection. We've also realized that one of her top teeth has broken through, so I'm sure that hasn't helped how she feels. Jacie has been more needy than usual, as expected, but we've also gotten to experience lots of wonderful hugs. Naturally, Jacie gets sick during Mama's busiest week of the year, so Daddy has been a tremendous help. We're so blessed to have him!!!

This picture kind of sums up how Jacie has felt-- one paci just isn't enough...
