Along Came Aubrey: Infections, Colds and Pink Eye

We had yet another sick household this week. I stayed home with Aubrey on Monday because Sunday night was a really hard night for her with coughing and pain and Monday was not much better. The doctor said she had yet another ear infection and a sinus infection so I was really happy I could hold her and cuddle her all day on Monday. I hate seeing our sweet, happy baby in pain! She did better throughout the week and she is back to being her happy self. I came down with pink eye on Thursday and Daddy came down with a bad cold this weekend so hopefully we can keep it to ourselves and not pass it to Aubrey. We absolutely love her daycare, but it's hard passing all these illnesses and colds around. Hopefully we are all building our immune systems.

As a side note, Aubrey tried chicken this week and did not like it one bit...not even after the 4th day of trying it. Guess we will try again in the next few weeks, but maybe turkey will suit her better?

Daddy had a day of bonding with Aubrey on Saturday because I spent the day doing all of our Christmas shopping. It was quite funny because I kept receiving all of these texts and videos from Daddy letting me know what was going on back at the house. Aubrey found quite a few things that we will need to baby proof. She also decided that she is ready to start standing up in her crib. Daddy walked in there when he heard her talking and found her standing up like it was nothing. Needless to say that she loves pulling herself up to standing now.

We are just about ready for Christmas with just one more thing on our list. We need to visit Santa still! We are planning on next weekend for that so hopefully the weather stays nice. I still cannot believe the amazing weather we have had. It's been in the 40's and it is mid-December. I hate to say it, but I do hope we get snow for Christmas. It wouldn't be the same without it!
