Missing Lauren
We were in Michigan for 10 days and Lauren stayed up there with her Grammy & Grandpa. While we were there, we stayed at the lake in Canada with Granny & Poppy for a few day and spend the rest of the time with Grammy & Grandpa. Matt got a job offer so we are moving home. :) Yay!!! Lauren, Grammy and I went out house hunting and found a few houses we really loved.
Unfortunately, Lauren got sick while we were on vacation. She slept a lot the morning of Saturday July 23rd. By mid afternoon she was running a temperature. Grammy and Grandpa took her home. She was extra tired and somewhat lathargic but was still laughing, smiling and playing. Sunday morning she still had a temperature but seemed to be feeling a bit better. By 5:00 her temp had jumped to 102.5 so we took her to the doctor. Doc said it couldn't be bacterial b/c she was still on her antibiotics from the ear infection so it must have been something viral. They did a culture for strep throat and she didn't have it. They checked her ears and the ear infection is gone. By the end of day Monday, she was completely fine.
The drooling has subsided and we are in a teething free zone at the moment!
Lauren is still incredibly close to crawling but has not yet gone for it. She get's on all 4's and rocks and she will move one leg forward then she doesn't know what to do.
Grammy is working with her a lot this week to eat regular food and drink from a cup. Some days she doesn't seem to want her bottle but she will take her formula from a cup. It seems that she is weaning herself from the bottle. She just LOVES to feed herself and will eat cheerios and fruit puffs all day long if you let her. She had a few tastes of ice cream while on vacation and loved it. She would open her mouth up for more.
I can't wait to see her!! I keep going in her room because it smells like her. Grammy has been awesome and is sending us two video messages a day so we can see her.
