Tuesday

Well both girls appear to be on the mend...yahoo! Ella's fever started going away yesterday evening and has been gone all day. Thank goodness...she was really pitiful for awhile. We visited the dr. yesterday morning and she too tested positive for RSV and had a double ear infection (a "bulging" ear infection in one ear is how he referred to it...ouch!). Anna-bear is back to normal, but I'm concerned about her weight again because she lost some last week due to no appetite. She's really little - 16 lbs. or so. We have a check-up next week so we'll see what he says about that.

A couple of exciting things have happened around here today...we finally lowered Anna's crib mattress (probably should have done that a while ago). She looks so little in there now! And, tonight is Ella's first night sleeping in big girl panties. She potty trained shortly after she turned two and keeps panties on all day, but she was continuing to sleep in diapers or pull-ups at night. We had a big pack of diapers left and so I said once those are gone, then we're done (she hasn't woken up with a wet diaper in months). So fingers crossed that it goes well!

Here's a few pictures I've taken recently on my iphone - love that little toy ;-)





Taken yesterday morning - when Ella is content to lay on the couch for more than 2 minutes, you know she doesn't feel well.















Chewing her first piece of gum - right before she swallowed it.













Anna in her lowered crib...big girl!



















Peaches + rice + crackers + cheerios = one hot mess!
