Feeling Better

Just wanted to let you all know that I am feeling better and my rash is gone. :) Hopefully I will be back to normal soon... and back to practicing walking soon!

Penicillin

So after taking Amoxicillin for 3 days, I got a rash. The doc says it was a very mild rash, but still... turns out I may very well be allergic to Penicillin. Boooo! I do get to take a new medicine, Azithromycin, now though and instead of taking a tsp 3 times day, I only need 1/2 a tsp once a day. So there's that. But I tell you, an ear infection, a cold with a terrible cough, strep throat and a rash! Geesh.

Apparently Daddy has Strep when he was a baby, but Mommy never did. I wonder if I am going to build up my own antibodies to this or if I will get it a lot like Daddy.

So, I am all sick and Mommy still made me take my 11 month old picture. Geesh.

I REALLY love Daddy's remote! I am always trying to get it.
Still not feeling well, but my fever has gone down! I slept most of today and am going to bed early tonight! Need to keep taking those antibiotics too!

Strep Throat

So, I have had a little cold for a week. After my nap tonight I woke up with a fever of 102. Mommy gave me some Ibuprofen and a bath, and I drank my bottle. Me temp went down to 98, but then back up to 100. So, we went to Urgent Care and found out I have a little ear infection AND Strep Throat. I was surprised, since I actually don't feel too bad. I am hot, but still in a good mood! Now I get to take medicine 3 times a day for 10 days.

Bummer.

Tonight Mommy let me try to type some stuff on my own, as usually I dictate to her and she types for me, this is what I have to say about that:

11 months old

I am 11 months old today! Holy smokes!

This month was fantastic!

Right after I turned 10 months old, I started to have separation anxiety, big time when Mommy left me. It started when still in NH, just at the end of our vacation. But once I got home, it wasn't so bad, and now I am just fine... still like to be near Mommy most though.

I also figured out how to point with my right hand soon after I turned 10 months old! Now I point to everything all the time with either hand and Mommy tells me what it is.

I went to Canobie Lake Park and went on my first real rides! The ferris wheel was my first ride I ever went on, and the little kiddie carousel was the first ride I ever went on solo (I sat in the sleigh). I also went in the Haunted Mine, and on a boat ride with Arianna and Mikaela, the bouncy cars with Mommy, the antique cars with Mommy, and on the scary Harbor Patrol ride... and the big carousel while Mommy held me on the horsey!

I went on a hike to Pulpit Rock with Mommy and Grandma in Bedford, NH.

I also met my birthday buddy, Steph and lots of my mommy's friends from high school and college.

I flew back across the country from New Hampshire after a fabulous trip to meet my Mommys' side of the family.

I went to Jenks Lake and Lake Arrohead with Mommy.

I hosted a playdate and went to Jake's for a playdate.

I went camping Mommy, Daddy and Isaac in Idywild at Boulder Basin Cmpaground and we went on a short hike tot he fire tower.

I hung out with Seth and Karen a few times!

I started playing with drum sticks and my Mommy's guitar, I can strum really well!

I can jump on the little trampoline at My Gym while holding onto the bar.

I got my picture taken with my mommy, grandmommy, great grandmother AND great great grandmother, and I met my great great great aunt!

I met Liz and Ella.

I started clmbing up on things like toys and the bookshelf.

I went to Palm Springs to see Yia Yia and Papa and went swimming and kinda "jumped in" on 3.

In a matter of days I went from standing for 5 seconds on my own to standing for over 45 seconds while clapping!

I went to the doc and weighed in at 18 pounds.

I found out I have eczema, but it cleared up quickly.

I started throwing balls.

I started to have water play in my front yard and got a pool.

I started to take steps all on my own, my record is 8 so far!

Oh, I also can wave hi and bye, do patty cake (clapping my hands), rolling my arms (kinda), and "pick pick pick" with my finger, and all done (which kinda looks like Bye Bye!) and kinda more (which looks like pick pick pick and clapping).

I also mostly use my right hand for things.

I can undestand some commands like "stand up", "123" and "come here".

I started at a new day care, and Janiel says I am an "angel" and a "good eater" and "so much fun!" She seems to be quite fond of me! :)

I sleep about 10 hours a night and take 1-2 naps a day. I have 3 bottles and 3 meals a day, and 2 snacks. I eat yogurt, cheese, beans, mango, toast, waffles and all sorts of other things... I like the stuff I can feed myself the best. I can drink from a straw and will sip from a cup with my Mommy's help.

more walking

Water play today!


Splashing is FUN!

Here's a video of me splashing:

Jenks Lake

Mommy and I went to Jenks Lake today, about 45 mins away and in the mountains near San Gorgonio. It was nice!

We walked around the lake, met some summer campers and counselors, put our feet in the water, danced, checked out the trees, and talked to some families. It cost $5 to hang out there and lots of people go to fish. There used to be a place for swimming, but not anymore, though people will anyway! The man who works there said they told him there is a No Swimming sign because of bacteria in the water, but that he thinks the real reason is because they don't have a life guard.

Tomorrow Mommy goes back to work, which means I go to day care. I met me new daycare lady, Janeil, last Friday. She was nice. I think it will be fun, and I get to make new friends!
