Caroline's First Cold

...which is not a "first" that's very fun. A couple of weeks ago I got a bad cold (I think I caught it in the waiting room at the pediatrician's office) and then last week Caroline started to get sick just as I was feeling better. So it's been a not-so-fun couple of weeks. She was supposed to be in daycare for a half-day today, but I kept her home. I was also supposed to go back to work tomorrow, but luckily since things are so slow at work, they said it was ok for me to come back later in the week. So the new plan is to do a half-day of work and daycare on Wednesday, and a full-day Thursday. I think she'll feel a lot better by then. I think today she's finally feeling a tad better, though the poor girl still has a bad cough and lots of congestion. I feel so bad for her! But at least it seems as if we may have turned the corner and are on the way to recovery. The only bad news is that now Greg's starting to feel sick. Great.

But in other news, not too much is new here. Our colds have kept us from doing too much lately. But about a week ago we tried to put Caroline in the bumbo since she holds her head up really well now. Every once in awhile her head bobs a bit, but overall she holds it up quite well. I don't know if she liked the bumbo, but she didn't seem to dislike it either. The first picture is just the first time we put her in it. And the next, though kind of hard to see, is her having a staring contest with Mallory the Monkey.

Here's a picture of her just chillin'....looks pretty comfortable to me!

And here she is hanging out with dad. I hate to admit that I think she was watching tv before she looked at the camera. I could be stoned in Boulder for letting my child see tv before she's 2 years old. Some of those Boulder moms are a little crazy (and judgemental). I mean, feel free to have your own opinions...I don't care! But don't judge us if our little one sees a few minutes of Sportscenter. :-) (We definitely don't use the tv as a babysitter...just for the record! Anyone who's been to our house knows that she's almost always positioned with her back to the tv. haha...)

Nothing else exciting to report. It was very nice here over the weekend and is supposed to be a great week as well. Spring is definitely on it's way! And other than the colds that we've had, we're all doing well.
