feeling better

So it has taken then entire month of February, but i am happy to report that we are all over the flu/virus/pneumonia that plagued us. It is wonderful to have everyone feeling better and have them be back to normal!! Well, as normal as some of us get!

Curious Amelia

Here is a video of Amelia, acting like curious george. One day i noticed that she was taking her snacks and puts them between her first and second toes and then lifting her foot up to her mouth to eat it. I couldn't figure out what she was doing at first, but one day we were watching george and i noticed he likes to eat with is feet, hence curious Amelia.

quite possibly the cutest.frog.ever.

Here is Melia, fresh from the shower. how cute is she??!! We bought these towel at the kohl's christmas sale! They were only $7 each!! so it was like buy one, get 3 free! we have a dog, frog, elephant and duck! they are all this cute too! They are made of a very sturdy bath towel materiel and should last Melia for awhile! Stay tumed for amelia to model the other ones!!

The flu has found us

Amelia continued with her fevers and lethergy, so off to see Dr. nancy we went. When we got there, nurse Tim listened to her, checked out her eyes, ears, nose and throat. they all looked fine. So, the next stop was to check amelia for the flu. Tim said it would take about 10 minutes for the results. Two and a half minutes later it was positive. There is no real treatment for the flu, just treat the symptoms. So we have been encouraging PO intake (drinking fluids...lol), offering different foods she may or probably won't eat, and holding/loving on her alot. Oh, and motrin and tylenol for the fever. She is in OK spirits for 1/3 of the day, down playing and running and laughing. She is a tough little one, our Melia Rose. I hope she is feeling better within a few days, although the average duration time is 7 to 10 days. That's a long time to be sick, especially when you are one!

first cold, then hot

Today when i woke up, it was a winter wonderland outside. Poppa had the day off because of all the snow, so we decided to bundle up and go play!! There was mile after mile of snow! I couldn't wait! Mommy went and bought me some super cute boots while i took my morning nap, so we were set when I woke up! After momma layered me up (2 shirts, 2 pants, thick socks, baby gloves, coat and a hat we were off! Even Hugo came out to play! He likes to put his face in the snow and try to eat snowballs! Silly Gogo. It was so much fun! After we played, we came in, had lunch and then everyone took a nap! Where does the hot come in?? after we woke up, poppa noticed that I was looking a little red in the cheeks and just laying around. yep - i have a fever. being sick stinks! Momma gave me some motrin and we hung out on the couch. And momma got the magic phone call. It was as if the other nurses at her job knew I needed her and said she could stay home! I was so glad for that. For dinner I did eat some chicken and stars and applesauce. it tasted yummy! I learned a new word today too. No, not the F or S word that everyone thinks i will be saying! I learned apple! I like to say it more like aaa apple. too cute! the motrin seems to be working as my fever came down, so maybe by tomorrow I will be feeling better! I sure hope so, there is a ton of snow left out there I didn't get to taste!!

first walk in the snow!

What kind of tracks are those? bear, lion, tiger? nope-just one Meli Rose!
