Monday with Mom

Gracie had a really rough night, she cried out about every 15 minutes from 1 a.m. on. She rolled, she tossed, she turned, she just couldn't get comfortable. I would calm her each time by patting her back and letting her know that "mama" was right here. I think we were both happy for morning to finally arrive. She awoke bright and early at 5:15 a.m. Her fever subsided, but the diarrhea appeared. I stayed home from work to monitor the situation and give her some TLC. She was in a very good mood though and by afternoon was feeling much, much better. She ate a fairly good lunch. She got a lemon cookie for afternoon snack, this was a first and a HUGE hit!

Gracie took a 45 minute morning nap and a 2 hour afternoon nap. She awoke with lots of smiles this afternoon and was in a very good mood.

Tonight was bath night and as always was met with smiles and a great joy. She loves the water. We have to be careful that she doesn't get water in her ear tubes, but if that wasn't worrisome, I think she would be happy to dip her head in. She loves to lay tummy down and pretend like she is swimming. Although she also thinks it's fun to try to sneak drinks of water this way too. She knows that is a "no no", so tries to sneak them in when she thinks Jeff and I aren't looking. Crazy kid.

Gracie fell asleep in my arms drinking her night bottle and I'm hoping it is a more peaceful and restful night for her.

Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
