Sunny 9 for 2005 December 3

We just found out that Lily takes after her daddy in more than just looks. She had a persistent cold and when it lasted for over 10 days I did what ever good mother should and took her to see a doctor. It turns out that she has allergies. Poor kid. Aaron has them bad. I think he is allergic to waking up because it seems like every morning he sneezes over 15 times in a row. I can't stand it because by the time he is done, there are spit clouds floating around. Yuck.

So now Lily is on Nasonex and Zyrtec. Nasonex nose spray once a day in each nostril (she loves that) and Zyrtec syrup before bed. She is actually really good at taking oral medicine, she might even like it because she always opens and swallows without coercion.

She has added more words to her vocab. Mostly she is getting good at repeating me, who knows what she thinks the words mean. She says "hi" and "out" without the "t" and "soft" and "mama" really well, "papa" or "dada" sometimes, but sometimes he is "mama" too, and her favorite "hot" and "uh-oh". This week has been different though b/c I can see her mind opening up more. She takes interest in toys she never really did before, and plays with them like cause and effect more instead of just putting them in her mouth. And like I said, she watches what I say and sometimes she repeats me. It is very fun to watch your kids develop.
