Since Morgan got to post something Mommy let me post something too. My pre-Christmas festivities weren't as much fun as Morgan's. We started on Sunday afternoon with a trip to the Children's Museum. Daddy was finishing the new hardwood floor project at home so Mommy took us out for the day to keep us out of his hair. I did pretty good the whole time, but by the end of the day I was wiped out.
The minute I got home I tried to fall asleep on the new floors so Mommy put me down for a quick nap. When I woke up, not only was I very cranky, but I had a fever of 101. Mommy thought it might just be my 6 new teeth I was cutting (note from Mommy: yes Elizabeth got 6 new teeth all at once!) so she put me to bed early. The next morning I woke up and was my chipper self so off we went to daycare.
Well I did pretty good most of the day, but right as Mommy was leaving work Miss Natalie called her and said I had a fever of 103.1! Since the holidays were coming up Mommy took me to Medcheck that night and an incredibly nice, retired pediatrician checked me out. He listened to my heart, lungs and looked in my ears. He even made me get a chest x-ray. Let me tell you- THAT WAS NOT FUN! Turns out I had pneumonia in my right lung. While we were at Medcheck Mommy tried to keep me entertained by taking pictures...as you can see I just don't look happy.
Well the next day was Morgan's play, so Mommy and Daddy gave me a dose of Tylenol to help the fever and hoped for the best, because we couldn't miss Morgan's play. While she was on stage, Daddy kept me entertained with puffs, water and the camera.
Once the Tylenol kicked in I was much happier- but it only lasted for a little while. Most of my Christmas vacation was spent sleeping and playing it pretty quiet. Luckily I was much happier Christmas evening, and now I am pretty much as good as new!
For those wondering what I am up to these days- as I said earlier I got 6 new teeth including both top molars. I can walk when I want to, at the most I have taken 7 steps, so Mommy says I just need confidence. Personally, I just like being carried around- who wouldn't! I am up to 24 pounds and we will see how tall I am next month. Oh yeah, and I got tubes a couple of weeks ago. Hopefully now I won't have any more ear infections!
