And the fun continues...

Well, Brooklyn is sick again. She has not been herself lately and I had been thinking it was because of her 2 new teeth she's cutting. Saturday night was awful. We had my cousin's wedding (congrats Kyle and Lisa!) and Brooklyn started fussing early in the afternoon so Eric decided to stay back from the wedding and watch her. She ended up crying for 2 hours straight. The reception and dance were at Key Largo on Lake Shetek so we decided to brave it and take her to that. Bad idea!!! She made it about 10 minutes and then Eric ended up leaving with her and driving around the lake for over an hour to try calm her down. It was quite a night!! Last night she screamed most of the night (she slept from 2:30 a.m.-4:30 a.m. and that's it!). After much crying again today I took her in and she has an ear infection--at least they think she does. She didn't exactly cooperate when the doctor tried to look into her ears. It took 2 nurses and myself to try hold her down and keep her head still and we still weren't that successful. The doctor did notice some drainage so he was quite sure it is an ear infection. They still cannot figure out her "raspiness" and what is causing it. They think it might be allergies either weather or food related. I have been doing some "research" online (aka self-diagnosing) and I think she might have asthma. I asked the doctor today and he said that could be a possibility but that they won't be able to determine that until she is older. I'm hoping at some point this summer we might have a healthy, happy baby! :)

Summer is flying by. I babysit my 2 nieces 2 days a week and man, do things get a little hairy sometimes! I love doing it, but having a 5 month old and an 11 month old who somehow always need to eat, have their diapers changed, and go down for a nap at the exact SAME time isn't always so easy. My niece who is 5 years old just hides in the basement to get away from all the commotion! I can't blame her!!!

I will leave you with a few pictures. I have a cute video of Brooklyn but am going to wait to post it until I have more time (and a content baby...if that is possible).

Brooklyn and Addison (they are 6 months apart)

and then Addie goes right for Brooklyn's hair. She shouldn't

be as jealous anymore since most of Brooklyn's hair is falling out!
