Well, its been one crazy week. Two Fridays ago Livie came home with a fever and it made it to 103 that night. We did the usual Tylenol, Motrin switch off and it seemed to be working. By Saturday I wasn't feeling well with some type of stomach flu so Jason took Livie with him to Faith's eye dr. appt. When they got back Livie was still running a fever so we gave her more meds and took a nap. The next day we went to his parents house and when Livie woke up from her nap she had what looked like a ulcer on the outside of her mouth and again was running a fever. We went home and she seemed to be doing ok but when we woke up Monday she had more of them, soooo I called the dr and we got in at 5:30 that night. At first the dr. said they looked like cold sores and then when she looked in her mouth she saw some ulcers but also noticed she had thrush. Boy was that news to me! I had no clue about it and thought it was something that infants only got - so we have been treating that all week on top of making sure everything gets washed, sterilized, etc. She has been so miserable especially at night and getting her back in her bed for a full night has been an event.
Thanksgiving was nice - we went to Jason's parents for dinner but I wanted a cute shirt that Olivia could wear and I couldnt seem to find one anywhere of course since Christmas stuff was already out! So i decided to make shirts, we make Turkeys out of handprints and I got some really neat wood stamps while we were at Springfest that I hand't used yet and I have to say I am very happy with how they turned out. I however in this process have learned just how independant Olivia is or wants to be - she wanted to draw her own turkey, she wanted to paint them and she wanted to do the lettering - i probably should have let her but it was me being to perfect too.
We also found out this past week that Jason's sister is having a boy so I am sure Olivia will have yet another person to bully. I have to say she really doesnt care how big you are if your doing something she doesnt like she will let you know! We have been working on counting and she can for the most part count to 10 in both English and Spanish. She talks more and more every single day and is becoming quite the Parrot we were afraid of! I look at her every day and cant do anything but smile no matter how frustrated I may be with her some days. She definately has my temper and Jason's stubborness!
Here are some photos of the shirts we made and Livie modeling hers!
