Christmas & New Year's 2009

Taylor's first Christmas & New Year's were great yet bittersweet. My parents were in town and we enjoyed hanging out with them and Matt's family--just laying low and relaxing. And then Taylor got really sick right after Christmas and had to go to the ER because she had a high fever & she was wheezing and coughing really bad. The doctor was worried she might have Pneumonia so she sent us to the ER for a chest x-ray. Thank goodness she just has a bad case of Bronchiolitis (for adults it's just a bad cold--for babies it is a lot of congestion in their lungs in which they cough and cough to try to get it all that junk out). To say the least, our holiday was not exactly what we had hoped for.

Oh yeah, and she finally has a tooth! So she is cutting teeth AND going thru it with this Bronchiolitis. Poor girl. She would only sleep for one hour at a time and she just wanted to be held and comforted for four days straight. I didn't mind holding her like a little baby again but I felt so sorry for her. But she seems to be OK now so life is good again!

Here's to a HEALTHY and HAPPY 2010!



Santa brought her some new kicks--they match a pair Santa brought for me too. :)



She loves her blocks!





She loves the Johnny Jumper at her Mammie's house.



This is her split...



She goes down into a split onto her tummy. Strange kid.



New Year's Day trying to get a smile out of her even though she did not feel good.



Her first smile in a few days--YAY!



Happy Baby.
