Our poor little Lily has just had her first real illness. Up till now she's only had the odd cold here and there, nothing that has held her back from being a happy playful baby. Monday night though she came down with something. I noticed after dinner that night that she was warm, so we took her temp and it was 102.1. From that night until this morning my poor baby just hasn't been herself! She's been very lethargic and cuddly, and has slept a bunch. She barely ate yesterday too. Poor thing! The fever broke after a very fitful night of "sleep" last night. She still slept a bunch today, and has been really clingy, but I'm happy to say her fever is gone, and her appetite is back! I hated seeing my little monkey that way! We're still wondering what caused her to get sick. Part of me is wondering today if she is getting in a bunch more teeth...maybe even molars. Last night she would wake up screaming in pain every 20 minutes, and we're pretty sure it's not her ears (she doesn't have a problems drinking from a bottle, doesn't have a problems lying down, and isn't really pulling at her ears) and I did see that some of her gums are swollen today, and she will refuse to let me peak inside her mouth, and screams when I do try to feel around. We'll see in a few days if that was the cause. Or maybe it was just some 24 hour bug? Who knows! All the matters to me is that she is doing much better now!
Monday afternoon before she got sick, Lily and I had a nice time playing outside with the garden hose. I let her have her first popsicle all to herself out on the back porch. She really enjoyed the stick (groan), and ended up with more running down her chest them in her tummy. So I got out the hose to let her play (and the added bonus of cleaning herself off!). Here are the pictures from Monday afternoon.

"All done Mommy!"
"Time to clean up!"
My little thinker:
Only one day left before Lily's birthday! I'm trying not to think about it. How can she be one already?!?

Happy B'day to Lily on her 1st birthday. I'm folowing your blog, because my little girl, Anja, is also 1 year old (21 August) and I really enjoy to see what your little one is up to. Comparing the 2, they are very similar... in attitude and capabilities.
Enjoy

Happy Birthday to Anja! It's so neat for have someone from so far away following my blog! I've been wondering who was looking at it from Africa! Thanks for leaving a comment! Does Anja have a blog? I'd love to be able to compare them! I hope she has a wonderful first birthday!
